Day 1 ⃣️ Drive 3 hours from Qingdao to Zibo ✅ Badaju: Very crowded, the food is really average, including baked pot cakes, purple rice cakes, and stuffed large intestines... I don’t know which one is the most authentic. I like the stuffed large intestines the most. It's the kind of place you'll regret not visiting, but also regret visiting. ✅ Haidai Building: Suitable for visiting after dark when the lights are on. The library on the first and second floors is quite beautiful and suitable for taking photos. There is a children's playground in the basement that sells many things. It feels like you can't breathe when there are too many people. 🍴 Zibo Barbecue: The popular online stores have ridiculously long queues, so I just ate at a random one. 🏨 Jinghe Hotel Day 2 ⃣️ Wake up naturally, depart after breakfast, and arrive in Boshan in 1 hour 🍴 Lunch Boshan Cuisine: More traditional Shandong cuisine, with a heavier flavor and large portions. Stir-fried Rooster with Chopped Wood: ￥138, large portion, heavy flavor, very filling. Boshan Fried Meat: ￥36, tastes good, can't finish it, so it's good to pack it as a snack. Boshan Tofu Box: ￥32, didn't taste anything special, didn't really like it. Braised Meatballs: ￥28, so-so Boshan Cold Cake: ￥28, the taste is amazing Fried Spring Rolls: ￥22, my favorite dish, highly recommended. ✅ Liuli Grand View Garden: Free Simply a paradise for little girls! Who understands the joy of two bracelets for 15 yuan! Tea sets are only 35 yuan a set! All kinds of things are very cheap and cost-effective! It is recommended to take a look around first, compare various styles, and then buy. ✅ Yanshen Ancient Town Adults 39.9, Children 19.9, Night Show 19.9, entry after 5:00 PM The ancient town is actually a renovation of the former kiln factory area, and there are still more than a dozen residences inside. Therefore, the scenic spot does not close at night, but the staff gets off work at 9:00 PM. The scenic spot is divided into 5 areas: Village Area, Factory Area, Art Block, Ming and Qing Street Area, and Traditional Street Area. The overall planning and design of the scenic spot are very careful, and the photos are great. 🍴 Dinner: Old Street Impression 🏨 All Seasons Hotel Day 3 ⃣️ After waking up naturally, stroll around Qingzhou Ancient City ✅ Qingzhou Ancient City feels more like a snack street. There is an Ou Garden inside that charges 20 separately. People without obsession don't need to go. There are electric vehicles that charge repeatedly. The city wall charges separately, recommended, the photos are very beautiful and spectacular.

In addition to the recently popular barbecue in Zibo Glaze is a traditional craft I feel ashamed to say that the delicious food has only become popular here. Fortunately, once you know it, it’s not too late Come and explore the ancient town Adjacent to Liulichang The ancient town is well planned and requires a ticket to enter. Checking in and taking photos is very photogenic You can also learn about the firing process Although there are new ones, they are protected Every brick and tile with a sense of time is a mark of history. clearly visible There is also a nightclub, but unfortunately there is not enough time

💰Ticket information: CNY 40 for adults (free entry after 5:30 pm, other discounts are subject to on-site announcements) ⛰Opening hours: Open daily from 8:30 am Liuli Intangible Cultural Heritage Performance: Daily at 10:00 am and 3:00 pm at the Liuli Theater 📝Boshan, formerly known as Yanshen, is named after the legendary Yan Wenjiang who became a fairy here. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, Yanshen had become an important base for the coal and ceramics industries, enjoying the reputation of "the hometown of Chinese ceramic and glass art." Until the 1990s, it was still an important global procurement center for ceramics and glass. Relying on the well-preserved 13 ancient kilns, old factories, and traditional neighborhoods, after two years of careful design and renovation by Professor Zheng Xin, winner of the UK's "Future Architecture Award," the once-abandoned ancient kilns, dilapidated sagger walls, and neglected courtyards have been reborn. Yanshen Ancient Town has been revitalized. Strolling through the streets of the ancient town, you can see sagger fragments embedded in the walls, a unique product of the round kiln firing process. In ceramic production, saggers are used as firing containers. Discarded saggers are cleverly used as wall materials, forming unique ceramic sagger walls, a distinctive feature of Boshan. The ancient town is dotted with themed spaces such as handicraft workshops, art museums, and creative studios, integrating cultural features such as intangible cultural heritage crafts, artistic creation, and full-process ceramic and glass craft experiences. It also introduces youthful entertainment projects such as Hanfu experiences and real-life CS alley battles. From the perspective of designers and ordinary tourists, this ancient town stands out compared to many overly commercialized imitation ancient towns. It has old buildings from memory, distinctive street spaces, participatory craft workshops, observable skill displays, and open leisure and entertainment spaces. Even if the studios are not attractive enough, the craft performances are not exciting enough, the entertainment projects are not rich enough, and there are some similar "internet celebrity" decorations, such a cultural space is rare in northern counties. If you have the opportunity to visit Boshan, I recommend you come and see it for yourself. I personally think the CNY 40 ticket is a bit expensive. It might be more popular if it could be transformed into a free cultural space. However, in today's era, economic benefits may indeed be an important consideration.

🚗Transportation: Mainly taking taxis, which are very cost-effective. There are also shared electric scooters available, but since I can't ride, I had to rely on friends to carry me. There are also special small electric cars on the roadside for carrying people, about 10r for 3km. 📄Suggestions: ❶ The distances between the districts of Zibo are quite far, and the car ride across districts usually takes about an hour, so it's more economical to book a ride-sharing service. ❷ Interact with the locals more, they will recommend some very tasty small restaurants and attractions, all of which are definitely worth trying. 📍Itinerary: 🌟DAY1: Zhongxin Barbecue (￥84/2 people) Less than 3km from Zibo Station. Although this small shop is simple, the food is really good and the portions are generous. Zibo Museum (Identity card required) Definitely worth a good visit, and spending 3 hours is not too much. Zibo was once a territory of the Qi state, and there are many related cultural relics and well-known stories. There is also a rare insect specimen exhibition recently that is quite good. Daguanyuan + Yansheng Ancient Town Zha Budie A fried meat shop with no signboard but known to all locals, on the way to Daguanyuan, next to 27A1 Xinbo Road. The queue there is the place. Fried meat starts at 10r, fried chicken at 15r, portions are very generous, super fragrant, the taste is a bit salty, so delicious that you can't stop, truly the No.1 fried meat in Zibo. Daguanyuan It is a pottery and glass market that is recognized by locals as relatively fair in price and authentic. There, we met a mother with her high school daughter who was out at the market, who kindly led us lost souls to Yansheng Ancient Town, and along the way, she told us many stories about Boshan and glass. Yansheng Ancient Town (9.9/person) Converted from an old factory, many shops are not yet open, not many people, the scenery is very beautiful. Caigentan (110/2 people) Although the chef had already finished work, the owner saw that we had come specially and still warmly welcomed us. The Boshan cuisine at this restaurant can be eaten for three days and nights without repeating, so the owner summarized the must-orders and also wrote a full page of notes. The tofu box is very special, with a bit of sweet and sour taste; the flavored eggplant amazed me, fried until crispy and soft, sweet; the fried chicken is also very flavorful, just the portion is huge.
