| Weihai is a mountain. This is the first high angle to see the sunrise over the sea | Weihai Chengshantou "May you be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains" is a blessing for the elderly. In fact, there is a "May you be as blessed as the East Sea" scenic spot in China! It has been more than a month since the beginning of autumn, but Guangdong is still not cool at all. Come to Rongcheng, Weihai, Shandong to experience the taste of autumn! 🚗Transportation: Because there is no direct flight from my city to "Weihai Dashuibo International Airport", I can only fly to "Yantai Penglai International Airport" and take a bus to Weihai at the Yantai Airport Bus Ticket Office, which is also very convenient! The scenic spots in Weihai are all quite far away, so it is most convenient to drive there yourself, or take a taxi! This time I went to Chengtoushan Scenic Area and Xixiakou Shendiaoshan Wildlife World. The two attractions are not far away! 🎫Tickets: Book online in advance for 158 yuan ⌚️Opening hours: 07:30-18:00 (peak season) Transportation: Take the "Weihai-Chengtoushan" bus from Weihai Bus Station. Be sure to find out the last return time to avoid missing it! Self-driving is the most convenient, you can park in the scenic area parking lot! * Tips: It is worth going just for the geographical location. On the east coast line, I strongly recommend the North Loop Cableway at Motianling. If the weather is good, you can see the sea and sky merge into one, and the scenery of the mountains and the sea is infinitely beautiful. It’s the end of the world! If you want to watch the sunrise, you must get up early. It has been a long time since I took the time to wait for a sunrise. It is so spectacular! Along Taking a walk along the “福如东海” coastline, you will find many buildings related to the word “福” (blessings), which is a favorite check-in spot for couples! There is also a seaside pier called "Zou Tianya" which is highly recommended and a great place to shoot blockbuster films. * Jixixiakou Wildlife World Tickets: Online booking 150 yuan (bring your ID card) ⌚️Opening hours: 07:30-18:00 (peak season) Admission stops at 15:30. Transportation: Take the "Xixiakou" short-distance bus from Weihai Bus Station to the scenic area directly. Just tell the driver where to get off! If you drive, please navigate to "Shendiaoshan Wildlife World"! There is an additional charge for self-driving in the scenic area, but there is no charge for parking outside the scenic area! Tips: The tour lasts 3-4 hours, which is very suitable for taking children to play and see the animals! There are a lot of animals inside. According to the staff of the scenic area, there are more than 400 species and more than 4,000 animals. It gives people a feeling of "experiencing wildness and returning to nature". It is very suitable for parent-child travel. It is a bit tiring to walk the whole way, but there is no turning back. You can also drive in the scenic area, which charges 40 yuan, but you need to park in the three designated parking lots inside! Although it is a zoo, there are many places for children to play. We recommend the glass bridge next to the first parking lot, where you can experience the double excitement of "people walking on the bridge and lions and tigers roaring under the bridge". You can also return to winter in the magical world of ice and snow. There is also a "glass maze" inside, which is also a good experience. This place is perfect for a family outing and a great place for parents and children to check in. I am Xiaobao who loves traveling and sharing ✌️

I went to Nanmotianling more than ten years ago, and have been planning to revisit the place recently. The original plan was to start from Hanjialing, but considering the strict inspection of donkey trails in winter, we had to find another way: go straight to Motianling from Luohanyan. There are many tombs along the way, and there is a house to watch over the cemetery on almost every hill. People are watching the graves and dogs are watching the houses. Some dogs are barking, while others are silent and rush forward in anger. After going around in circles and unable to get through, they had no choice but to retreat to Zhongtianmen and go through Motianling. On the 12th, I crossed Luohan Rock, Zhongxi Mountain, Longquan Peak, Nanmotianling and Hanjialing alone. Going up from the east side of Zhongtianmen is Zhongxi Mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking north at Mount Tai, Aolai Peak, Longjiao Peak and Dongma Peak, with stars surrounding the moon, lush forests and springs, tourists like ants, and the cable car flying in the air. Here you can truly feel the majesty of Mount Tai. The ridge formed by Zhongxi Mountain, Longquan Peak and Nanmotianling is called Dongshan Ridge. There is a group of wild goats in this area. With so many goats, there are naturally many ticks, so many people don't come to Dongshanliang anymore. Mount Tai has East Ridge, West Ridge, West Big Ridge, Middle Ridge, North Ridge and Ladder Ridge. The East Mountain Ridge and the North Mountain Ridge are rocky; the West Mountain Ridge and the Middle Mountain Ridge are long and undulating; the Tizishan Ridge is steep; the West Daliang is flat and looks like a grassland. I was just walking on my way when I suddenly saw a red vest in front of me and I suddenly became nervous. The man looked very kind, so I took the initiative to go up and say hello. "Hello"! "Don't touch the fireworks!" "Of course! I don't smoke and I don't have a stove"! Since we entered fire season, I really don’t carry a stove anymore. There are mulberry trees on Longquan Peak, including southern sandalwood and northern mulberry, which are extremely precious; there are crocodile stones in Ge Tiaogou at the foot of the mountain. Motianling is not that high, and the small house on the top of the mountain still looks the same as it did more than ten years ago. That year, I went hiking from here to Hongmen via Luohanyan. Today, we were blocked from going up the mountain, and I didn’t want to take the old road, so we decided to go to Hanjialing. There is a big slope in the south of Motianling, and there is an open area down there. Oh My God! There are graves as far as the eye can see! Death is like the extinguishing of a light, and I am not afraid of it. When I was a child, there were tombs all around my hometown village. Some were huge and had stone tablets standing on them. The cemetery is a paradise for wild animals. I remember when I was ten years old, one day, my father was about to come home from a long trip. I guessed that he might bring some delicious food, so I went to the village entrance to wait for him impatiently. I heard that the second brother next door had also gone to meet his father, so I chased him until dark. There was no village in front and no shop behind, but fortunately I caught up with him in the end. Neither of us went to meet our father. On the way back, we passed through three large cemeteries in succession. In order to give ourselves courage, my second brother sang loudly when we arrived at the cemetery. As I was reminiscing about the past, I unknowingly walked out of the cemetery. As I was walking along the path towards the house in front, several large free-range dogs suddenly jumped out and I was forced to retreat. At this time, three people emerged from the ditch, looking back as they walked, with a look of fear, as if they were talking about something. When we arrived at Hanjialing, a man in a red vest kept moving towards me and was right in front of me in a blink of an eye. "Where did you go up from?" "Red Gate"! "There is barbed wire on the mountain, how did you get down?" "The cemetery gate is open"! He was skeptical and seemed to want to say something, so I left in a hurry.
