Guide: Tai'erzhuang Ancient City is really a good place

Guide: Suitable for first-time visitors to Tai'erzhuang Tai'erzhuang Ancient City is really a good place. This time, I'll talk about how to have more fun. 🎟 Ticket Prices You can book online or buy on-site. 118 yuan covers two days, with unlimited entries and exits, which is quite worth it. If you are from Zaozhuang, Linyi, or Xuzhou, the ticket is only 40 yuan, but you can only enter once. There are discounts for children and the elderly, and some don't even need to buy tickets. 👣 Places to Visit It is recommended to enter from the East Gate and first visit the site of the Battle of Tai'erzhuang to feel the weight of history. Then stroll around Ship Street to see those old houses, as well as places like Tianhou Temple and the Deputy General's Office, which are all worth seeing. Don't forget to visit Guandi Temple to pray for peace. Xie Family Escort Agency is also quite interesting, where you can experience the ancient martial arts atmosphere. 🎭 Performances Worth Watching Especially the 'Fire Dragon Steel Flower', which is super shocking. Remember to go to Fuxing Square early to get a good spot. There's also the 'Qianlong Parade', which starts at 10 PM in front of Tianhou Temple. Follow the dragon boat of Emperor Qianlong for a round; it feels like watching a movie. 🛥 For fun, you must try boating. Take a painted boat during the day to enjoy the scenery, and switch to a sculling boat at night to listen to the boatwoman sing. The feeling is simply amazing! 🍽 What to Eat? Scallion Pancakes, Yellow Flower Beef Noodles, and Spicy Chicken are must-tries. There's also carp and green shrimp from the canal, which are very fresh and taste great. 🏨 Where to Stay If you want to stay comfortably, you can choose those high-end places, but of course, the price is not cheap. For example, Wenhui Building, the highest-star hotel in the ancient city, has impeccable rooms. If you want to save money, find a hotel near the city gate for convenient access. 🎁 What to Bring Home? For souvenirs, you can look at oil-paper umbrellas and ocarinas. You must try the rice wine; there's a shop on Ship Street that has particularly good rice wine at a reasonable price. There's also Tai'erzhuang pancakes, which are very chewy, though those who haven't tried them might find them unusual. In short, Tai'erzhuang is a place worth visiting multiple times. Take your time to stroll around and enjoy it slowly.
