The cheapest JW Marriott? Opened in 2019, the details are already old. The location is right next to the Confucius Temple, with several two-story buildings. I specifically asked for a room in the southeast corner. After check-in, they called to ask if there were any problems or requests, which was very thoughtful. The waiters in the hotel are generally enthusiastic. The gym is very small and the lighting is dim. It takes half an hour to get to Jinan by high-speed rail, but it's very unreasonable to take a taxi at Qufu East Station.

It is nice place to learn about Confucius, well organized, with clear directions to follow, and with online guide. Every hall has an introduction in double language including English, unfortunately the single things on show only have Chinese tags. How to get there: I suggest by taxi since is not in the historical downtown, it is located not far from the West High Speed Train Station….so I did visit it before to board the train back to Shanghai. Is a modern museum which greatly shows the excellent traditional Chinese culture represented by Confucianism. #tripblazers #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #lucaworldtraveler

Taipei MRT Loop Line - a convenient golden artery connecting New Taipei City The Taipei MRT Loop Line is an important new line in the Taipei Metro system. It uses a bright yellow main color to symbolize its key position running through multiple administrative districts in New Taipei City. The opening of this route not only greatly improved the transportation convenience in New Taipei City, but also made transfers on the Taipei Metro more flexible and smooth. Features and advantages of loop line The MRT Loop Line is the first line in the Taipei MRT system to adopt a "loop" design and is operated with autonomous driving technology, making train operation more stable and efficient. This route mainly connects the areas of Banqiao, Xinzhuang, Zhonghe, Tucheng and Xindian in New Taipei City, providing a more direct transportation option for people who originally had to rely on buses or transfer to other MRT lines. Important transfer stations and transportation advantages The Loop Line intersects with multiple MRT lines to create a more convenient commuter network, such as: • Banqiao Station (connecting to Banqiao-Nanning Line, High Speed ​​Rail, Taiwan Railway) • Dapinglin Station (transfer to Songshan-Xindian Line) • New Taipei Industrial Park Station (connected to Airport MRT) • Jing'an Station (connecting to Zhonghe Xinlu Line) This design makes the ring line the "golden artery" for New Taipei City residents, effectively shortening commuting time and reducing reliance on major urban roads. The future of the loop line Currently, the "first phase" of the MRT Circular Line has been opened to traffic, and it will continue to be extended in the future, including the construction plans of the North and South Circular Sections, to truly build the Circular Line into a complete circular road network, further improving the traffic efficiency of Greater Taipei. Summarize The opening of the MRT Loop Line has brought a brand new transportation experience to New Taipei City. It not only improves the accessibility of the MRT system, but also makes transportation in the Greater Taipei area more convenient. With the continued expansion of the ring line in the future, Taipei’s MRT system will become more complete and become a true “ring transportation hub.” If you haven’t taken it yet, why not take a chance to experience this new MRT line that symbolizes the city’s development!
