2025 Dongping Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Day 1: The Majesty of Mount Taishan and the Night Hike Experience Morning: Tianwaicun Hiking Starting Point Take the scenic bus (CNY 35/person, approx. 20 minutes) from Tianwaicun Tourist Center directly to Zhongtianmen. Those with plenty of energy can choose to hike to the summit (approx. 3 hours), passing Yunbu Bridge and the Five Scholar Trees along the way, and experience the cultural heritage of the cliffside stone carvings. Those with limited energy are advised to take the cable car from Zhongtianmen (CNY 100 for a one-way ticket) directly to Nantianmen, overlooking the sea of clouds in the mountains. Afternoon: The Scenery at the Summit After reaching the summit, visit Tianjie Street, Jade Emperor Peak, and the "Five Mountains Peerless" stone. It is recommended to bring a CNY 5 bill to take a photo with the stone carving. If you choose to hike at night, you can refer to the special forces route of "meeting at Hongmen at 2 AM" and climb to the summit in 3.5 hours to watch the sunrise (bring a flashlight and a light down jacket). Evening: Hot Spring Relaxation After descending the mountain, it is recommended to go to Culaishan Hot Spring (Qianfengtang). The ancient spring water from the Tang Dynasty is smooth and can relieve mountain climbing fatigue. Day 2: Historical Heritage and Lively Old Streets Morning: Exploring Dai Temple As the starting point for emperors to offer sacrifices to heaven, Dai Temple requires a focus on the murals in Tiankuang Hall, the Millennium Han Cypress (2,100 years old), and the Three Treasures of Mount Taishan (Wenliang Jade Tablet, Agarwood Lion, and Yellow Glazed Porcelain Gourd). It is recommended to rent a tour guide (approx. CNY 20) to learn more about the history. Afternoon: Dongping Lake Cruise Drive for 1 hour to Dongping Lake (free admission). It is recommended to rent a boat for sailing or cycling along the lake. In autumn, the reeds sway and egrets fly. The "Long River Sunset" scenery at dusk is particularly stunning. Evening: Taian Old Street Carnival After returning to the city, go straight to Taian Old Street. Must-try foods: • 🌮 Taishan Pancake: Freshly made thin pancake rolled with scallions/red scale fish, crispy, salty and fragrant • 🍢 Taishan Fried Chicken: Local free-range chicken with green peppers, full of wok hei • 🍧 Sanmei Tofu Pudding: Made with Taishan spring water, smooth, tender and sweet At night, you can watch the 7D music fountain show, and on weekends there are also intangible cultural heritage performances such as shadow puppetry. Day 3: Tianwaicun Surroundings and Hidden Gems Morning: Tianwaicun Cultural Circle • 🏞 Heilongtan (Black Dragon Pool): A 10-minute walk away, it is said to be the location of the Taishan dragon vein. The stream is cool in summer. • 🏯 Daizong Archway: The starting point of the central axis of Mount Taishan. The stone archway from the Tang Dynasty and the millennium-old pagoda tree form an excellent photography spot. Afternoon: Caishixi Easy Hike Take a bus from Tianwaicun to Caishixi (free). The colorful pebbles and clear flowing water in the stream complement each other, making it suitable for families to play in the water (prepare stream tracing shoes). Before returning, a surprise: Experience Shandong-style braised pork at "Chao Yi Xing" fast food restaurant next to Taishan Railway Station. The fatty but not greasy braised pork with rice is a carbohydrate bomb. Accommodation Recommendations • 🏨 Four Points by Sheraton Tai'an, Baolong: Near the old street, the rooms offer panoramic views of Mount Taishan • 🏡 Jiunvfeng Homestay: Wild luxury style, with a starry sky terrace and mountain view hot spring (suitable for self-driving tourists) Useful Tips 1. Transportation: City buses No. 3/4 connect Dai Temple and Tianwaicun; a taxi to Dongping Lake costs about CNY 80 2. Tickets: Mount Taishan CNY 115 (including Dai Temple), Caishixi is free, Dongping Lake cruise is CNY 50/person 3. Equipment: Hiking poles (hotels often provide them for free), non-slip shoes, sunscreen 4. Things to avoid: Taian Old Street is not a real historical site, it is recommended to focus on the food experience; night climbing at Hongmen requires advance ticket booking

⭐Getting to Know the Town Dongping Town is a very small seaside town with only one or two main streets. The surrounding attractions are also very close. Except for Windmill Mountain, most of them can be reached within 10 minutes by car. There are many tuk-tuks in the town that you can stop and ride at any time. ⭐Attraction Route Feilong Temple👉Tai O Fishing Village👉Pearl Bay👉Dongping Pier👉Windmill Hill 📌All attractions are free!❗️ 1️⃣Feilong Temple Built on a cliff by the sea, backed by mountains and facing the sea, the scenery is invincible! The photos taken in good weather are very impressive. The car can be driven directly to the mountain (parking spaces are limited, and when there are many people, you can only park at the foot of the mountain and walk up). 2️⃣ Tai O Fishing Village This small fishing village has already been rated as a AAAA scenic spot, but I personally think it has lost its original flavor. You can visit it to buy some local products. Parking is charged, but the first half hour is free. 3️⃣ Pearl Bay Located next to Dongping Town, this long beach is free to enter. 4️⃣ Dongping Pier There are many fishing boats parked near the pier, which is quite spectacular. Every day after 3 or 4 PM, fishing boats return to sell fresh seafood at the pier. You can buy it there and then have it processed at a restaurant. 5️⃣ Windmill Mountain It's about a 20-minute drive from the town, all the way uphill on a concrete road, but it's a bit steep and a single lane, so it can be a bit of a hassle to encounter other cars. Not recommended for inexperienced drivers❗️ There are two roads to the mountain Visit the popular Windmill 99 to see Feilong Temple and the sea. 📍Navigation: Songshan Peak, then keep driving until you see the signs. 📍Navigation: Kuang Gou Fei. The fork in these two routes is at the "Windmill Mountain Station". One goes left, one goes right, but either way, just keep driving up the same road. There are two places to buy seafood: the pier and Dongping Market. According to my own experience, the pier is more expensive than the market❗️ (Maybe they saw that we were from out of town and tried to rip us off❗️😂) When having seafood cooked, don't go to the restaurants next to the pier. I asked about the price, and it was 20-30 yuan per dish. I recommend a restaurant that is said to be the cheapest in Dongping (recommended by the coffee shop owner, haha). It costs 10 yuan for boiling, 15 yuan for stir-frying with ginger and scallions or steaming with garlic. It's a small family-run shop, so they can't make anything too complicated. Recommended food🍽️ 🥹Dongping No. 1 Fish Raft, a restaurant recommended by locals. We went to the restaurant and sat down, but then left. After looking at the seafood and the menu, we found it was quite expensive. It's up to you if you're rich~ 😋Zhuchenglou, a high-end restaurant where locals host guests. The food is delicious, but the prices are not low, and the consumption level is similar to that of cities in the Pearl River Delta. 😋Binzai Seafood City, recommended❗️ Cheap, tasty, and great value for money❗️ 😋Fu Ji Chicken Rice, ordered chicken rice and goose rice, stewed soup, light and delicious 😋I went to That Light Coffee Shop for two days in a row. The owner was very chatty and recommended some great food and fun things to do in town. ✨Tips: Although the fishing season has begun, the seafood is not yet at its plumpest. We recommend visiting between October and November, when the seafood is at its best!❗️

Qinghai has five national nature reserves, the largest two being Hoh Xil and Sanjiangyuan. Hoh Xil is currently not open to the public, so Sanjiangyuan can be considered the most stunning pristine area accessible in the Tibetan region. Sanjiangyuan is the source of three rivers of great significance to the Chinese nation: the Yangtze, Yellow, and Lancang (Mekong) Rivers. The Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve covers an area of 153,000 square kilometers, including most of Yushu Prefecture and part of Golog Prefecture, with eighteen core areas alone. From vast snow-capped mountains, glaciers, rivers, and lakes to rich grasslands, vegetation, and wildlife, it's a combination of purity and wildness. Due to the arduous journey and conservation considerations, most areas of Sanjiangyuan are difficult for ordinary travelers to reach. However, with careful planning, you can still witness the unparalleled scenery of Sanjiangyuan. First, arrive at Zhaling Lake and Eling Lake at the junction of Yushu and Golog prefectures. After admiring the "sky mirror" at Xingxinghai (Star Sea), cross the Bayan Har Mountains. After a short break in Yushu, the capital of Yushu Prefecture, head west to Longbao National Nature Reserve to see black-necked cranes, the provincial bird of Qinghai. Continuing along the headwaters of the Yangtze River, you'll pass through the Yan Zhang Grand Canyon. It's not the end of the world, but it's definitely a stark wonderland. If you're lucky, you might encounter wild animals such as blue sheep and Tibetan wild donkeys. If you're heading to Tibet, continue to Budongquan (Unfrozen Spring), where you can access National Highway 109, the entrance to Tibet. Budongquan is at the border of Sanjiangyuan and Hoh Xil. Standing by Budongquan, you can see Yuzhu Peak and Yuxu Peak, the sister peaks of the Kunlun Mountains.

The central street of the park is full of stage performances. You can watch them and take photos with NPCs.

When the couple went to Henan for a public vacation, they passed by Dongping and found that there is also a Luo Guanzhong Memorial Hall here. They must go in and take a look.

Luo Shi wrote quite a lot throughout his life, and his main works include: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" co-authored with Shi Naian, "The Story of Three Sui Ping Yao", "Feng Yun Hui" and a large number of novels. The memorial hall covers an area of ​​5,000 square meters, with blue bricks and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, imitating the garden-style architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There is a high-rise Guanzhong Hall in the middle of the courtyard, and across the courtyard there is a Bagua array that is loved by both adults and children. It is easy to get in but difficult to get out [Grin][Grin][Grin]. In front of the courtyard, there are stone statues of the main figures of the Water Margin and the Three Kingdoms. The bronze statue of Luo Guanzhong is lifelike in the middle of the courtyard [Tiptop].

Dongping Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in Shandong Province, is the only remaining water area of the 800-mile Liangshan Water Bay described in Water Margin, known as the "Little Dongting". We drove on the most beautiful lake road, with beautiful lake and mountain scenery along the way. We saw a pier and stopped to check it out. We saw fishermen returning from fishing with a full load. There were four large boxes of local hairy knife fish on the small fishing boat. It is said that this fish is delicious, with few thorns and more meat. We met a local resident buying fresh crucian carp just caught, and bought five or six for 20 yuan, which was cheap and fresh. We originally wanted to take a cruise in Dongping Lake National Wetland Park, but unfortunately the park has not been open these days, so we can only wait for the next time to come to fulfill our dream. At noon, we tasted the authentic one fish three eat at the super hot Shuihe Boat Farmhouse. The fried black fish section was crispy and very flavorful. It was delicious when it was hot. The stewed fish head soup was rich and fragrant. We each drank three bowls and still wanted more. The braised fish tail sauce was rich, and the fish was tender and juicy. It was paired with the local specialty water chestnut rice flour steamed bun, which was absolutely delicious. No wonder there were so many people waiting in line to taste it. The next table was two retired couples who came here for a tour. They were amazed at the size of the fish while eating deliciously.

| The waves travel thousands of miles carrying the Wen River, and the boats sail mightily on their westward journey. Heading west along the grand Wen River, which flows beneath the majestic Mount Tai like a jade belt, one reaches Dongping. 📸 The Wen River, gathering the waters of the central Shandong mountains, does not flow directly into the Yellow River but accumulates here to form the vast Dongping Lake. This great lake once had its moment of glory, endowed with the legend of the eight hundred li of Liangshanbo, and it was here that the central city of Dongping Prefecture in the Lu West region was built during the Song and Yuan dynasties. The ingenuity of Daicun Dam has also earned Dongping the reputation of 'the heart of the canal'. The prosperity of the past has faded, but the scenes of fishermen singing at dusk and the roaring of Daicun Dam still make this small city in the west of Shandong worth visiting. ✨ Daicun Dam The world heritage and national level six status have not brought too many tourists to this modest water conservancy facility, but every year during the flood season of the Wen River in midsummer, the roaring waves like a tiger's roar attract locals to come and watch. 💫 The dense locks on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal are there to overcome the elevation from Hangzhou all the way north, and the Shandong hills are precisely the high point of the canal. The river often dries up, hindering the transport of grain, and is known as the 'water ridge'. The construction of Daicun Dam in the early Ming Dynasty, planned by the elder Bai Ying of Wenshang, was to solve the water source problem of the canal in this area and also to take into account the benefits of irrigation and flood prevention. The saying 'seven parts for the emperor, three parts for the south of the river' summarizes the water-dividing benefits of Daicun Dam, and Bai Ying is revered by locals as the god of eternal relief. 💡 The Daicun Dam scenic area is not large, more like a park for viewing the scenery of the Wen River, but the dam stretching across the river makes the water surface here exceptionally wide. Standing on the observation deck with the words 'Daicun Dam's Roar', one can see the full figure of the dam and the Wen River water rolling down from it. Next to it, the Daicun Dam Museum allows visitors to learn about the past and present of Daicun Dam and appreciate the vitality of this ancient dam that has been used to this day, which is the reason for its inclusion in the world heritage list. 🚗 It is about ten kilometers from Daicun Dam to the county town, with no public transport available, so one can only take a taxi. 🌊 Dongping Lake As the last remnant of Liangshanbo, Dongping Lake is vast, and the surrounding hills add a unique charm to the scenery. Near Dongping Lake, there are the Water Margin Film and Television City, Liugong Mountain, and other scenic areas centered on Water Margin culture, as well as the under-construction Zhou City Town, which is the site of ancient Dongping. However, compared to the picturesque northern lakes, man-made landscapes are somewhat inferior. 🗺 Lao Lake Town is the core of the Dongping Lake wetland, a small town with complete facilities and a leisurely pace. From afar, the mountains surrounding the lake on the opposite shore, the calm lake surface rippling in the wind, and the occasional sound of fishing boat engines deepen the tranquil atmosphere. Gazing from the lakeside pavilion, a small mountain reflected on the southwestern surface of the lake is the famous Liangshan, but it has been separated from the water and isolated on land through the changes of history. 🚌 Take bus number 7 from the county town to Lao Lake Town. The view of the lake under the clear sky from the bus is refreshing, even reminiscent of Erhai Lake. The town has many fish restaurants and convenient accommodations, making it a backyard for both Jining and Tai'an. The county town also has Baifo Mountain and Dongping Museum, which can be visited depending on the time available.

Dongping Lake National Wetland Park Dongping | The Wen River flows thousands of miles, and the mighty boats sail westward Going westward along the Dawen River, which looks like a jade belt under the majestic Mount Tai, you will reach Dongping. The Wen River, which gathers water from the mountains in central Shandong, does not flow directly into the Yellow River, but instead forms the vast Dongping Lake. This large lake once flourished and was given the legend of the 800-li Liangshan Lake. Dongping Prefecture, the central city of western Shandong during the Song and Yuan dynasties, was built here. The ingenuity of the Daicun Dam has earned Dongping the reputation of the Heart of the Canal. The prosperous past has faded, but the scenery of fishermen singing in the evening and tigers roaring in Daiba still makes this small city in western Shandong worth visiting. Daicunba The halo of World Heritage and National VI Standard has not attracted many tourists to this low-key water conservancy facility, but the roaring sound of the waves during the flood season of the Dawen River in midsummer every year attracts local people to come and watch. The densely packed locks on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal were built to overcome the rising altitude from Hangzhou all the way northwards. The Shandong hills are the commanding heights of the canal, and the river often dries up, hindering water transport, earning it the name "water ridge". In the early Ming Dynasty, Daicun Dam was built under the planning of Bai Ying, an old man from Wenshang, in order to solve the water source problem of the canal in this area and take into account the benefits of irrigation and flood control. The saying "seven parts to the emperor and three parts to the south of the Yangtze River" summarizes the benefits of water diversion of Daicun Dam. Bai Ying is also revered as the God of Yongji by the locals. The Daicunba Scenic Area is not big, and is more like a park for viewing the scenery of the Dawen River. It is just that the dam across the river makes the water surface here unusually wide. Standing on the observation deck with the words "Daiba Tiger Roaring" written on it, you can see the entire dam and the Wen River water flowing down from the dam. At the Daicun Dam Museum next to it, you can learn about the past and present of Daicun Dam and appreciate the vitality of this ancient dam that has been used to this day, which is why it is listed as a World Heritage Site. Daicunba is about ten kilometers away from the county seat. There is no public transportation, so you can only take a taxi. Dongping Lake As the last relic of Liangshan Lake, Dongping Lake is vast and the rolling hills surrounding the lake make the scenery here unique. Near Dongping Lake, there are scenic spots centered on the Water Margin culture, such as the Water Margin Film and Television City and Liugong Mountain, as well as the Zhoucheng Town under construction, which is the site of the ancient Dongping. But compared with the beautiful northern lakes, man-made landscapes are far inferior. Laohu Town is the core of Dongping Lake Wetland. This town has complete facilities and a slow and pleasant pace. From afar, the other side of the lake is surrounded by mountains. The quiet lake surface is rippling in the wind, and the sound of fishing boat engines from time to time makes the quiet atmosphere even deeper. Looking out from the viewing pavilion by the lake, a small mountain reflected on the lake surface in the southwest is the famous Liangshan Mountain. But it has been separated from the water and isolated on land in the course of history. Take bus No. 7 from the county seat to Laohu Town. Watching the lake under the clear sky on the bus is refreshing, and even has some of the charm of Erhai Lake. There are many fish restaurants in the town, and food and accommodation are convenient, making it the back garden of both Jinan and Tai'an. There are also Baifo Mountain and Dongping Museum in the county, you can choose according to time.
