Yishan, a beautiful place with clear mountains and clean waters

**Explore the mystical Yishan Wonderland in Linqu and stay in a mountain-water resort paradise🏞️** This time, I unlocked a hidden gem in Shandong — the Linqu Yimeng Mountain Tourist Area! Unexpectedly, I found a divine hotel at the foot of Yishan, the Yishan Resort Hotel. Opening the window reveals layers of mountain ridges, and you can watch the sunrise and sea of clouds from the bathtub. It’s like bringing the "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" painting to life~ 🏨 **Reasons to stay at Yishan Resort Hotel** • **Prime location**: Located in the core area of Yishan Scenic Area, just a 5-minute walk to the entrance. You can catch the sunrise at Yuhuangding Peak before the crowds in the early morning. • **Top-notch views**: All rooms come with floor-to-ceiling windows and viewing balconies. Even the basic rooms face the mountains. East-facing rooms are recommended for watching the sunrise while lying down. • **Secluded experience**: The hotel features its own garden water system. When lanterns light up at night, it feels like stepping into an ancient film. The pool faces the canyon with unbeatable views. 📸 **Nearby activities guide** 1. **Yishan highlights check-in spots** - Sunrise at Yuhuangding Peak (arrive before 5:30 AM, hotel can arrange private car) - Baizhangya Waterfall (most spectacular during the rainy season) - Yishan Canyon hiking (entrance has Ming Dynasty cliff inscriptions, remember to wear non-slip shoes) 2. **Secret photo spots** - Tea garden behind the hotel (aerial shots are stunning in early morning mist) - Ming Dynasty ancient temple with red walls inside the scenic area (especially beautiful with autumn ginkgo colors) 💡 **Useful tips** • The hotel’s breakfast package is more cost-effective, featuring freshly made local pancakes and mountain-raised free-range chicken soup. • There are few dining options inside the scenic area, so it’s recommended to eat at the hotel restaurant (try the Yimeng stir-fried chicken and wild mushroom hot pot). • October to November is the red leaf season. Book your room at least one month in advance! The hotel also provides red leaf hiking maps. 【Linqu 2-day 1-night itinerary reference】 Day 1: Arrive at hotel → Yishan Canyon hiking → Sunset at Yuhuangding Peak → Soak in the starry sky hot spring pool Day 2: Baizhangya Waterfall → Ancient temple blessing → Check-in at a farmhouse feast at the foot of the mountain before departure
