Qingdao to Weifang: A One-Hour Direct Trip for a Day Tour

Weifang is not just about kites from elementary school textbooks. The phrase 'Weizhou was once a little Suzhou' by Zheng Banqiao has made Weifang a city as renowned as Suzhou. As someone passionate about cultural travel, this is my first visit to Weifang, the cultural capital of East Asia that's just within reach. ✅ Rich historical and cultural heritage. ✅ World heritage sites, national protected buildings. ✅ Round trip in one day, convenient transportation. ✅ Unique cuisine, extremely affordable prices. I've discovered a treasure trove of a tourist city and I'm sharing the carefully summarized travel tips with everyone. · 🪁【One-Day Tour Itinerary in Weifang City】 Shihuyuan Garden ➠ Guandi Temple ➠ Changsong Old Store ➠ Fangzi Town ➠ Kuiwen Gate ➠ Kuiwen Pavilion ➠ Taihua · 🎪【Six Highlights of Weifang】 ❶ Shihuyuan Garden 500 years of history, the most completely preserved Jiangnan-style garden in the north. The cultural and creative hall gathers Weifang's intangible cultural heritage crafts, and I really love the kites, New Year paintings, and clay sculptures. ❷ Guandi Temple Built during the Song Dynasty, it is the earliest and largest ancient building in Weifang city. There is also an antique market and street stalls nearby to browse at leisure. ❸ Fangzi Town A national key cultural relics protection unit, China's first industrial and mining town. The filming location for the TV series 'From South to North.' 🔹 166 German-Japanese buildings: Telegraph Building, Post Office, Coal Mine, Nun's Building, Church, School, Barracks, Water Station, Luxury Villas 🔹 2060 Republic of China buildings: Wanhe Building, Liu's Old Residence 🔹 Railway industrial corridor: German-built Fangzi Railway Station, Jiaoji Railway fan-shaped garage, locomotive turntable 🔹 Coal mine site: German-built mine shafts, coal mining tunnels I spent 4 hours and still reluctantly did not finish touring this historical and cultural town with a century-old texture. Especially when passing through the railway tracks and seeing the fan-shaped garage and locomotive turntable, I was truly amazed! ⚠️ 90% of tourists miss it, you must go see it! ❺ Kuiwen Gate, Kuiwen Pavilion Kuiwen Gate by the Bailang River is the southwest gate of the old Weixian East Guanwu. Kuixing Tower was built inside Kuiwen Pavilion next to the city wall, echoing Weifang's historical and cultural heritage with its name meaning 'topping the exams.' ❻ Taihua Pedestrian Street Passing through Kuiwen Gate is Taihua Pedestrian Street. As the lights come on, the street becomes lively, and the beautiful neon lights feel like a trip to Hong Kong. . 🍝【Cuisine】 I visited Changsong Old Store. The number one Weifang restaurant, an authentic old store that feels like a trip back in time, still using carbon paper for handwritten menus. The portions are huge and super delicious. The prices are surprisingly low, with mustard chicken, Weixian fried five-spice meat, chicken and duck harmony, Weixian spicy skin, all for a total of 97. · 🚙【Transportation】 ❶ High-speed train from Qingdao to Weifang takes one hour direct. ❷ For city tours in Weifang, since the round trip time is precious, it's reasonable to spend more time on sightseeing and use ride-hailing services. · ❤️ I've really fallen in love with Weifang. A hidden gem for a day trip from Qingdao.
