#WinterTravel ✨Shandong Airlines✨ This airline is a Chinese airline. We have a small 3-3 seat type. It is a domestic flight from Harbin to Qingdao. It is a night flight. There is a snack service, a bag of biscuits and water on the plane. The stewardess and stewardess provided very good service. They can communicate with us in English. It is another airline that is cheap. Most of the time, there is a change of planes in China more than Qingdao.

#discoverchina I higly recommend it to someone who love Chinese architecture. It is one of the valuable ancient temples for its famous architecture! Visitor can take a bus no.9 near the train station (the old one) to there by 40 minutes. It takes about two hours to look around. I recommend to hire a guide for brief explanation. It definitely highlight the visit and enrich the knowledge of the ancient architecture. It is a pity that there are not lot of people to visit this temple. The temple was very quiet and we were the only tourist when we got there. We were very impressed with ancient architectural structure which survived over 1000 years.

#discoverchina We visited Qufu this past June and saw Confucius Family Cemetery and Confucius Temple but were too late to visit his mansion. We were in awe of the cemetery, what a beautiful, peaceful place! It was maintained like a park with many people strolling around. In case you cannot walk so far, there is a trolley that you can ride. We could not believe that Confucius' grave was still beautifully kept after two thousand years! There were hardly any foreign tourists but there were lots of Chinese tourists from other parts of the country. We regret we did not have enough time for the mansion. It is a very serene place with interesting architectural elements and not at all what you might imagine the cemetery to be like.

#discoverchina Zhougong Temple (the Temple of Duke Zhou), is the former Taimiao of the Lu State. Taimiao is supposed to be the ancestral temple of the emperor. As Duke Zhou was only a vassal of the Zhou Dynasty, not the emperor, the Zhougong Temple should not have been called Taimiao. But Duke Zhou was with great achievements for creating rites and music, therefore King Cheng of Zhou specially authorized the Lu State（Duke Zhou’s territory）to sacrifice the former emperor. As a result, the rites and music belonged to the emperor were practiced in the Lu State. King Cheng ordered the Lu State to set up the Taimiao Temple after Duke Zhou‘s death. When the Lu State was destroyed by the Chu State, the Taimiao Temple also perished. Afterwards, the present Zhougong Temple were built and expanded six times in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, forming its current scale. It is said that the original site of the Taimiao Temple is where the present Zhougong Temple locates. There are 57 halls, pavilions, gates, and residential area in three courtyards front and back (excluding the collapsed parts in the east and west courtyards), with a total area of 42 acres. Zhougong Temple is now a national key cultural relics protection unit.

#discoverchina If you ever find yourself in Qufu, the Mencius Temple and Mansion are definitely the places to check out. The Mencius Temple is where they honor the famous philosopher Mencius, and it’s pretty impressive. The temple is filled with old architecture, ancient trees, and peaceful courtyards that make it a great spot to wander around and reflect. You’ll find tablets with inscriptions about Mencius’ teachings and some cool historical details about his life. It’s kind of a tranquil spot, so it’s easy to get lost in the history as you explore. Then, there’s the Mencius Mansion, which was where Mencius’ family lived. It’s more like a big, old compound with several buildings, and it gives you a glimpse of the way life was back in his time. The mansion has a bunch of classic Chinese architectural features, like courtyards and beautiful wooden carvings. It’s like stepping back into history. Both places are pretty close to each other, so it’s easy to see them both in one visit. If you’re into Chinese philosophy or just love old, historical sites, the Mencius Temple and Mansion in Qufu are totally worth exploring.

Shan Dong, a province often called the “Land of Abundance” in China, holds a special place in my heart. Its history is as ancient as it is rich, and the landscapes, people, and culture blend into unforgettable memories. As I reflect on my time there, vivid images and emotions come flooding back, bringing warmth and nostalgia. I remember my first glimpse of Qingdao’s stunning coastline, where the Yellow Sea meets the land in a breathtaking embrace. The sea air was fresh and salty, filling my lungs as I watched waves crash against the rocks. Along the coastline, locals and tourists alike strolled, and the sight of children laughing as they played in the sand added a simple joy to the scenery. The famous Qingdao Beer Festival was a highlight of my visit—lively, colorful, and brimming with energy. Every sip of the world-renowned Tsingtao beer was a taste of history, a tradition that had been passed down for over a century. Exploring the historic city of Jinan was like stepping back in time. Known as the “City of Springs,” Jinan is dotted with natural springs, each with its unique character and charm. Baotu Spring, the most famous of them all, drew me in with its crystal-clear water and tranquil surroundings. I was mesmerized by how the springs created a sense of peace, a quiet contrast to the bustling urban life surrounding them. The local people gathered there, engaging in Tai Chi, sharing stories, or simply enjoying the beauty of their city. There was something special about the harmony between nature and city life in Jinan, as if the springs were a gentle reminder of life’s simplicity. One of my most cherished memories is of Tai Shan, or Mount Tai. Considered one of the “Five Great Mountains” of China, Tai Shan is both a physical and spiritual journey. The climb was challenging, with its steep paths and countless steps, but the experience was unparalleled. I started my ascent before dawn, joining other travelers who were eager to see the sunrise. Step by step, I could feel the air growing thinner, the temperature cooler, yet my excitement only grew. Reaching the summit was a triumph; the panoramic view of the sun rising over the mountains was a sight that words cannot fully capture. In that moment, standing at the peak of Tai Shan, I felt a deep connection to the ancient emperors, scholars, and pilgrims who had made this journey before me. The food in Shan Dong left a lasting impression as well. The local cuisine, known as Lu cuisine, is one of China’s “Eight Great Culinary Traditions.” Each dish was a celebration of flavor and texture, from the crispy and savory Dezhou braised chicken to the delicate and fragrant scallion pancakes. I’ll never forget my first taste of jiaodong seafood, freshly caught and bursting with flavor. It was a culinary journey that mirrored the richness of Shan Dong’s culture. But what I hold dearest are the people of Shan Dong. They welcomed me with warmth and kindness, making me feel at home in a place thousands of

Shan Dong, a province often called the “Land of Abundance” in China, holds a special place in my heart. Its history is as ancient as it is rich, and the landscapes, people, and culture blend into unforgettable memories. As I reflect on my time there, vivid images and emotions come flooding back, bringing warmth and nostalgia. I remember my first glimpse of Qingdao’s stunning coastline, where the Yellow Sea meets the land in a breathtaking embrace. The sea air was fresh and salty, filling my lungs as I watched waves crash against the rocks. Along the coastline, locals and tourists alike strolled, and the sight of children laughing as they played in the sand added a simple joy to the scenery. The famous Qingdao Beer Festival was a highlight of my visit—lively, colorful, and brimming with energy. Every sip of the world-renowned Tsingtao beer was a taste of history, a tradition that had been passed down for over a century. Exploring the historic city of Jinan was like stepping back in time. Known as the “City of Springs,” Jinan is dotted with natural springs, each with its unique character and charm. Baotu Spring, the most famous of them all, drew me in with its crystal-clear water and tranquil surroundings. I was mesmerized by how the springs created a sense of peace, a quiet contrast to the bustling urban life surrounding them. The local people gathered there, engaging in Tai Chi, sharing stories, or simply enjoying the beauty of their city. There was something special about the harmony between nature and city life in Jinan, as if the springs were a gentle reminder of life’s simplicity. One of my most cherished memories is of Tai Shan, or Mount Tai. Considered one of the “Five Great Mountains” of China, Tai Shan is both a physical and spiritual journey. The climb was challenging, with its steep paths and countless steps, but the experience was unparalleled. I started my ascent before dawn, joining other travelers who were eager to see the sunrise. Step by step, I could feel the air growing thinner, the temperature cooler, yet my excitement only grew. Reaching the summit was a triumph; the panoramic view of the sun rising over the mountains was a sight that words cannot fully capture. In that moment, standing at the peak of Tai Shan, I felt a deep connection to the ancient emperors, scholars, and pilgrims who had made this journey before me. The food in Shan Dong left a lasting impression as well. The local cuisine, known as Lu cuisine, is one of China’s “Eight Great Culinary Traditions.” Each dish was a celebration of flavor and texture, from the crispy and savory Dezhou braised chicken to the delicate and fragrant scallion pancakes.
