There is some interaction between the Grand Canal Old Street performance and the Quyi Meeting; 2. After the Fire Dragon Steel Flower, you can take a boat to the East Gate to watch the Welcoming Show or Water Moon·Chant. The Welcoming Show's light show is more about the 1938 war, different from the West Gate Projection Show, and I personally prefer the West Gate. 3. The Fire Dragon Steel Flower (Iron Flower) is very crowded, if you want a better spot you have to give up the Boat-shaped Street Light Show. A better viewing spot would be the small path between Huajiantang·Huaishe and Taizhou Island, which is less crowded. 4. If you want to watch Jianghu variety shows, you can watch them at 14:00 or 17:00 at Tianqi Temple Stage. 📌Scenic spot tips: Little North Gate → Taishan Xinggong → Fire Brigade → Mosque → Bodhi Temple → Grand Canal Grain Warehouse Museum → Taierzhuang Battle Site Park → Jin Ping Mei Culture Exhibition Hall → Catholic Church → Boat-shaped Street → Tianhou Palace → Fuxing Building ⚠️Travel Tips ▪️The ancient city is busier on Saturdays, watch the night scene on Saturday night, and stroll around the ancient city and take photos on Sunday morning. ▪️Zaozhuang's districts are scattered, self-driving is the most convenient, but BRT has basically been connected. The urban area has Xuecheng District (New City) and Shizhong District (Old City), distributed in a triangle with Taierzhuang. ▪️Zaozhuang has two museums, it's enough to visit the West Museum, and the landmark Gemini is right opposite. From Beixin Culture to Zhongxing Coal Mine, thousands of years help us understand this historic city more quickly. ▪️The old city has more local food than the new city. Zhongxing Coal Mine is worth a visit. There are some very nostalgic play facilities in People's Park. If you are short on time, you can also go directly from Zaozhuang Station to and from Taierzhuang. ▪️The ancient city is worth visiting for its various small and vertical museums, watching the Iron Flower performance at night, and just strolling around to relax. 🚄Zaozhuang Transportation Guide Departing from Jinan, self-driving is the most convenient. You can also take the 🚄 to Zaozhuang Station, and then take a 🚖 or BRT to Taierzhuang Ancient City.
