You can't imagine how romantic this aquatic art museum in Shandong can be
Honestly, no child can resist such a place! Take us to the recently opened Egret Bay in the Water Art Museum with our seal. After passing through the tunnel, you will see it in white in the water. Walking through the dense reeds is like passing through an entire autumn. Entering it is like opening the door to a different space, the water surface is connected to the outdoors, a winding and long waterway leads to the distance, and the indoor space changes with the light and shadow. Inside the museum is like Charlie's Chocolate Factory has come into reality. Take the children to learn about the history and production of chocolate, taste it while walking, all kinds of chocolates are really eye-opening. The seal really loves this and doesn't want to leave at all. 🍫Other hidden gameplay ✓Go to the Cocoa Beverage Library for a cup of hot chocolate The chocolate that is cut like a brick is so delicious ✓Take a ride on the retro train to tour the park ✓Eat a lazy monkey chocolate ice cream ✓Coffee and Tree Cafe Designed by the Spanish SelgasCano team 📍Address: Egret Bay Chocolate Park Transportation: Navigate to the No. 2 parking lot of Rizhao Wulian Egret Bay, after parking, carefully read the signs into the tunnel, and you will be out the door.

Jiuxian Mountain Day Tour: Discover the Best Route and Enjoy a Relaxing Day!
First, navigate to Wulian Guangmingding Cableway and take the cableway up the mountain. Keep your ticket safe, as you'll need it throughout the journey.
After exiting the cableway, follow the cement road to Lovers' Peak. The stones here come in various shapes, and there are also Sun Lake and Moon Lake, where small fish swim freely. The scenery is stunning.
After descending from Lovers' Peak, take the scenic shuttle bus and get off at Cang'ao Ridge. Then, walk along the wooden plank road, descending all the way to Sun Bin Academy. This section of the wooden plank road is long, and there are many monkeys along the way. Take your time descending, or you'll get tired (the scenic vehicle route is on the last page).
From Sun Bin Academy to the boarding point, take a car to Maojia River. There are many farmhouses there, where you can have a good meal and take a break.
After lunch, you can head to Longtan Grand Canyon, which takes about an hour to walk. Be careful while walking, as the road is not very smooth, but when we went, there was a stream accompanying us.
After exiting the canyon, you'll need to climb a section of stairs, and then you'll reach the glass plank road. Although it's not long, it's worth experiencing.
After walking the glass plank road and descending a section of stairs, you can take a boat. The last boat departs at 4:00 pm.
After disembarking, a scenic tour bus will take you back to the Guangmingding Cableway Station parking lot. The beauty of this route lies in descending the plank road from Cang'ao Ridge to Sun Bin Academy. If you were to go the other way, it would be a real test of your stamina!

Rizhao Stop 2: Egret Bay Art Town.
When I arrived at Egret Bay Art Town, I was taken to the entrance of Chocolate Resort (Photo 3) after getting off the bus. Walking in the corridor, I felt like I was in the city's sewer. I thought to myself, "What's so good about this place?" Until I saw the Corridor Art Museum on the wall (Photo 4), I walked out of the corridor and found that the view was suddenly wide open and there was a whole new world (Photos 1 and 2). I was separated from the group because I was taking photos, so I didn't hear the explanation.
But there are:
Egret Bay Train Park (Photos 13 and 14),
Seaweed and Straw House (Photo 12),
Egret Ranch and Tree Art Museum,
Coffee and Tree Cafe...
I also found the Water Art Museum (Photos 15 and 16). I took two photos at the entrance and received a call urging me to get on the bus, so I had to quickly find my way back to the bus.
This place is suitable for a slow-paced trip...

Encounter the autumn scenery of Wulian Mountain Scenic Area.
The autumn wind rises, the leaves fall, and the autumn of Wulian Mountain arrives as scheduled. In this season, Wulian Mountain Scenic Area seems to have put on a colorful new outfit, waiting for every visitor to come and encounter this autumn feast.
Wulian Mountain, located in Wulian County, Rizhao City, Shandong Province, attracts countless tourists with its unique natural scenery and rich cultural landscape. The autumn of Wulian Mountain is even more beautiful and intoxicating. Walking on the mountain paths, the fallen leaves form a carpet of "autumn colors," soft and rustling underfoot, a melody unique to autumn.
In autumn, Wulian Mountain is a landscape of overlapping mountains and colorful forests. The red and yellow leaves make the mountain world colorful, the mountains like paintings, and the mountains are covered with golden armor. The distant mountains appear deeper and more mysterious under the autumn colors, while the nearby streams are clear and reflect the autumn colors on both banks, like a flowing ribbon.
Here, you can fully enjoy the gifts of nature. The morning breeze carries a hint of coolness, the leaves gently sway in the wind, and the golden and fiery red intertwine into a beautiful picture. The sunlight filters through the sparse branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows and draping the earth in a warm veil.
In addition to enjoying the scenery, Wulian Mountain also offers a variety of outdoor activities for you to experience. The autumn colors are just right, so why not go on a camping trip? Set up a tent in the embrace of the mountains and get close to nature. In the morning, watch the sun rise from the east and illuminate the entire forest, and at night, gaze at the stars and feel the tranquility and mystery of nature.
Wulian Mountain is not only beautiful in natural scenery but also rich in cultural heritage. The scenic area has the Ming Dynasty's Huguo Wanshou Guangming Temple, one of the four major Buddhist sites in Shandong. In addition, Wulian Mountain is closely connected with many historical figures and legends, such as Su Shi and Wang Jinmei, adding a strong cultural color to this land.
The autumn of Wulian Mountain is a feast for the eyes and the soul. Here, you can temporarily forget the troubles of life and enjoy intimate time with nature. Come to Wulian Mountain Scenic Area and encounter this autumn beauty!

📍Horse Ear Mountain:
Wulian County, Rizhao City
🚗Transportation:
Rizhao City - Horse Ear Mountain 1h⏰ by car
⚠️It is recommended to drive by yourself, navigate to "Horse Ear Mountain Camping Base"😇 The parking lot is very large and convenient for parking🅿️
👇Route: (round trip about 3h⏰4.6km)
For those who watch the sunrise, check the sunrise🌅 time and weather in advance❗️Different weather has different feelings~😇
🟤Our sunrise time that day was around 05:40, so we set off from Rizhao City at 3:00✌️
Up the mountain (1.5h, 2.3km)
🔴Arrive at the "Horse Ear Mountain Camping Base" parking lot at about 4:00, start hiking from the side of the single wooden bridge, and it will be about 5:30 on the top of the mountain.
(Because everyone is a newcomer and climbs slowly, take a break several times along the way😅)
🟢There is a "Horse Ear Mountain Mani Heap" on the top of the mountain, and then wait quietly for the sunrise (the wind on the top of the mountain is particularly strong, and the assault clothes are on the big side)
🟣We returned the same way down the mountain (1h⏰2.3km)
The downhill road is steeper, not as tired as going up the mountain but more dangerous❗️We walked down the mountain slowly and took nearly 1h⏰ and took beautiful photos along the way~📷
(Return to the parking lot🅿️ safely at 7:10 in the morning⏰ I went to work at half past eight)
⚠️Precautions:
💜Night climbing must bring headlights or flashlights, it is really difficult to climb in the dark
🤎Wear long pants👖 to prevent mosquitoes and insects, and some densely vegetated roads will scratch your legs❗️The wind on the top of the mountain is really strong, you must bring a jacket🧥 you must bring a jacket🧥 you must bring a jacket🧥
💜The process of going up the mountain will sweat a lot🤣 It's too hot❗️Bring more tissues🧻 and water, and some chocolates🍫 can also bring some I carried two burgers🍔 a bottle of water, and I was so happy after reaching the top😍)
💚There are no trash cans, no toilets, and no supermarkets on the mountain!! Remember to take your own garbage away♨️ After all, it is not a scenic spot, be prepared in advance❗️
We originally wanted to see the sea of clouds and watch the sunrise. We didn't expect the weather to be weak that day and the fog was too big😅
♨️If you go, you must check the weather☁️ forecast in advance, but the smoke is actually quite flavorful✌️

Rizhao Wulian Mountain, exploring the rock top, the moment of reaching the top of Wanghaifeng and the way down the mountain.
Attracted by the pile of rocks on the top of the mountain, I didn't take the steps up first, but climbed the boulders next to it first. 😎
.
When I climbed to the top, I could actually look at the opposite Tianzhu Peak, but I could only check in by myself, and I couldn't present it at the best angle. 🙇
.
Then I came down from the boulders bit by bit, and then walked up the steps next to it. Although the steps were steep, they were much worse than the boulders next to it. 🧐
.
When I climbed halfway, I would stay for a while when I encountered a boulder to lean on. 🙇
.
At the corner of the upcoming summit, I found a magnificent mountain and river in the distance, so I stayed and checked in to freeze time. 🙇
.
Make a wish to the stars, meet at the top of the mountain, stand on the top of Wanghaifeng, overlook the magnificent mountains and rivers, and the world is safe. 😊
.
There is also a Wanghai Pavilion here. Many people go in to play, but I can just check in outside. 😁
.
Then there is a stone carving of Wanghaifeng on the side of the steps that came up. You can check in after walking a few steps down. 🤷♂️
.
After checking in at the Wanghaifeng stone carving, I returned to the open space inside and checked in the distant peaks. 🧐
.
Then I started to go down and prepare to go down the mountain. When I went down the steps, I still couldn't bear the scenery in the distance, so I sat down and continued to check in. 🙇
.
On the way down the mountain, I encountered a place where I could watch Tianzhu Peak, and I stayed here and asked passing tourists to help check in. 🚶
.
When I finally got down to the entrance of the mountain, I felt very fast. It was not as hard as when I came up. Then I went to the stone tablet of the Azalea Garden opposite to check in and rest in the pavilion for a while. 🙇

The road to the top of Rizhao Wulian Mountain.
After passing through the Buddha statues in the cave, you can still see Wanghaifeng on the road ahead, but the angle is not as good as the previous best viewing point🧐
.
Afterwards, I walked to the Guanlanting and rested for a while, sweating a lot, and finally went down and prepared to continue walking🚶
.
Walking along the Songfeng Trail, I quickly walked to the steep steps of the road to the top🚶
.
The roads with trees are very beautiful. At a certain corner, I saw the "figure" of Tianzhu Peak again, but this time it was not looking up, but almost flat. I guess I will walk up again and reach the top. It can be flat🧐
.
On this dangerous road, turning around, shuttling, passing through narrow areas, finally ushered in the dawn of a large open area above, although it has not reached the top, but standing on the rock at this moment is already full of joy😁
EMILEE CRAIG
Rizhao Wulian Mountain, overlooking Wanghaifeng and Baihefeng.
After walking out of Guangming Temple, continue to climb up. There are many gains on the way to chase Wanghaifeng🧐
.
First, I walked to a corner of the steps to rest, and also found that this is the best check-in point for Wanghaifeng🧐
.
Then I walked to a stone cave and saw a Bodhisattva riding an elephant in it. It should be Puxian Bodhisattva🧐
.
Later, I entered Liao Tiange and successfully checked in next to the boulder to the distant Baihefeng. The magnificence of the mountains and rivers is breathtaking🙇
.
After coming out, I walked through two small holes and met two statues. If the previous one was Puxian, then this one riding a lion would be Manjusri. As for the one behind, I don’t know😊

Rizhao Wulian Mountain, Zengshou, Dizang Hall and Juezhao Monk Tower, Guanyin Cave and Eggshell Cave.
After punching in Lai Cai, only Zengshou is left. All the vertical banners inside have been punched in. 😁
.
Then walk to a fork in the road, the left side is the direction of Guanyin Cave, and the right side is the direction of Guangming Temple. Guangming Temple is definitely a must-visit, but now I want to go to the left side of Guanyin Cave.🧐
.
On the way to Guanyin Cave, I came across a Dizang Hall. It looked quite desolate, a small stone house surrounded by grass.😓
.
After coming out of the Dizang Hall, there is a Juezhao Monk Tower in front. This tower is very small, but the rocks behind it are quite large. There is also a tree growing on the rock, which makes the tower's view even worse.😓
.
After passing the Juezhao Monk Tower, I soon walked to Guanyin Cave. In addition to the Guanyin statue in the cave, there are two small statues on both sides, which are probably the Shancai Tongzi.🧐
.
In front of the Guanyin Hall, there is a wonder called Eggshell Cave. The exploration here really makes me happy.😁
.
Then I returned to the fork in the road and prepared to explore Guangming Temple. When I was rushing towards Guanyin Cave before, I also forgot to punch in the direction of Guangming Temple. Now I come here to punch it in and move forward.🙇

I also love Wulian Mountain in Rizhao, and the "Good Fortune" and "Great Wealth" signs.
After leaving the beautiful scenery of the Emotion Recycling Station, I was also attracted by the net in front of me. This is a happy channel and a happy planet. Yes, I also love Wulian Mountain deeply❤️❤️❤️
.
While following the entrance of time, I also came to this fairy monument, Lotus Mountain Fairyland, I and the wind are thinking of you here❤️
.
There is also a monkey landscape next to the stele of Wulian Fairyland. This novel place really makes me happy😁
.
Start climbing up along the Wulian Fairyland Monument. If you are tired, sit on the steps and rest for a while🙇
.
The beautiful scenery on the mountain road is endless, and the trees and peaks are always in my eyes. But what I want to say more is this good fortune and great wealth. I hope that the viewers will get rich and the viewers will be lucky😁

Rizhao Jiuxian Mountain Sun Bin Academy Xiaodongtian and Bijia Peak
After checking in at Baodu Peak, I explored the natural beauty on one side. The nearby branches and leaves, the surrounding greenery, and the distant peaks deeply attracted me. 🙇
.
Then I walked up to Sun Bin Academy. The steps here are also very steep, and there are signs next to them indicating the steep steps and advising to proceed with caution. But for me, a proud young person of the modern era, it's nothing. 😁
.
There are many fallen leaves on the ground of Sun Bin Academy, which look very beautiful. I don't know what font the characters on the plaque are, but I can barely make out that it says Sun Bin Academy. 🧐
.
You might think that the scenery of Sun Bin Academy ends here, but actually, there is a Tianquan (Heavenly Spring) behind it. The water flow is not large, but it is still worth checking in. 😎
.
After coming down from Sun Bin Academy, I found a resting place in front. Sitting on the stone bench and looking at Xiaodongtian, I couldn't help but go over and take a look. 🧐
.
The stream in Xiaodongtian is quite nice. When it gets hot, you can wash your face. Walking up to the top of Xiaodongtian, you can also enjoy a small waterfall. 🙇
.
Next, I want to talk about another stunning scenery of Jiuxian Mountain after Baodu Peak, which is Bijia Peak. Since I climbed the mountain early, there was still a bit of misty feeling. 🧐
.
At the same time, the Bijia Peak viewing platform is also a dangerous road dividing point. There are also scenic area signs next to it. I guess many people will choose to return the same way here. 🙇
.
But as I said, I am a proud young person of the modern era. No matter how steep, dangerous, or distant the road is, I have walked them all. If there are no steep, dangerous, or distant sections, what's the point of climbing the mountain? Just face the difficulties head-on. 🤷♂️

Rizhao Jiuxian Mountain, Liuxian Bed and Baodu Peak
Walked to Xueshi Village and found the booked inn to stay. The next morning, started climbing the mountain early 🙇
.
On the way, encountered a fork in the road. You can take the path from here, but later found that the two roads converge and both lead to the main road. However, the advantage of this path is that you can see more beautiful scenery. The wooden walkway is very comfortable to walk on, and you can also enjoy the pond water 😁
.
At the end of the wooden walkway is Liuxian Bed, a very beautiful name. From here, you can go up to the main road 🧐
.
After coming up from Liuxian Bed, continue upwards to reach the mountain gate of Sun Bin Academy 🙇
.
Entering inside, you can see the spectacular scenery of Baodu Peak from a distance. It's like a scene from a painting 🧐
.
There is a ground spring at the corner. Since my large water bottle was already filled with boiled water, I couldn't pour it all out. So, I just gulped down enough here to avoid any regrets 😁
.
Walking further up, there is another wooden walkway. Here, you can closely experience the wonders of Baodu Peak 😎

The scenery in Rizhao is so beautiful, why don't you promote it? Are you confused?

I just went to Rizhao, but everyone thought I went to Xinjiang!!
Address: Bailuwan Road, Wulian County, Rizhao City, Shandong Province
Store Name: Bailuwan Town
This is a relatively remote town in Rizhao, but it's worth a visit! The photos look really good when the weather is nice!
First Stop: 📍In the Water Art Museum
A long corridor full of artistic atmosphere~ The photos turn out great. Learn about the process of making chocolate🍫, it's also very interesting to bring children here.
Second Stop: 📍Train Park
A holy place for couples to check in and date, and a children's playground. There is also afternoon tea inside, where you can enjoy the scenery while drinking tea🍵.
Third Stop: 📍Ding Ding Car🚎
You must take the Ding Ding Car when you come here. You can enjoy different beautiful scenery of Bailuwan. This is a self-funded project that can be booked online in advance!
Fourth Stop: 📍Bailu Ranch
A large grassland with a symbolic tree🌲. Taking photos here is really beautiful.
🍱For seafood, I recommend going to the Chocolate Fisherman's Restaurant in the urban area. You can choose based on your distance (Wanpingkou/Third Seawater Bathing Beach). Both are good. Whether it's the environment, hygiene, or price, it's very cost-effective for us tourists. Moreover, the seafood🦞 there is freshly caught and cooked, very fresh‼️ The owner is also very enthusiastic, always introducing the dishes to us and telling us that there are online discounts now. He is really honest and nice. Haha, I put the dishes I ate in the pictures to make you drool🤨.
🏨For accommodation, it's better to choose cost-effective homestays. Both Wanpingkou/Third Seawater Bathing Beach are fine. Even in peak season, it's about 100 yuan per person!
Get close to nature~ A summer resort and play destination, come and check it out8️⃣

Here is Rizhao, Shandong, an underrated art town
Less than two hours' drive from Qingdao, it is a place detached from real life, where many artistic creations converge. There is a gentle expectation that this place will eventually become the top trending spot in Shandong like Aranya. Embark on a wonderful journey on the red vintage train~
💙In the Water Art Museum
The art museum floating on the water is designed by the architectural master Junya Ishigami. The interior and exterior water systems are interconnected, creating a beautiful world of light and shadow. Currently, there is a chocolate exhibition, where you can enjoy unlimited chocolate and interesting encounters.
🌳Egret Bay Ranch
Meet the solitary tree, the endless lawn has become a favorite spot for camping, walking with children, and a holy land for wedding dresses.
🌹Egret Bay Rose Courtyard
In the season when roses bloom, take photos among thousands of roses, then rest by the coffee shop next to the trees and enjoy a rose-themed afternoon tea. The purple hydrangeas and the new phone match well, unlocking many liked photos.
🚞The fairy tale world of Train Park
The old train transformed into an activity space, where adults can find memories of past trains, and children can also have fun here.

Wulian Mountain, worth a visit!
Wulian Mountain Scenic Spot (4A level)
As a local of Wulian, this is the first time I have climbed Wulian Mountain after growing up here. I thought it would be as crowded as Wanheping that I visited yesterday, but I worried too much~
We didn't drive, so we took the C305 bus for about an hour to reach the entrance of Wulian Mountain. It took us about twenty minutes to walk to the service center, and it was so hot! It was scorching, so everyone must drive there!
The ticket for the scenic area is 65 yuan, and the round-trip bus ticket is 20 yuan. If you drive, you can go directly up the mountain; otherwise, you must take the bus. Walking up will make you doubt life because the mountain road is winding, and it's very unsafe with the traffic going up and down!
On the bus, I was amazed by the driver's driving skills, especially since the road turns are quite astonishing. As someone who is afraid of heights, I was still very nervous inside.
When we arrived at the entrance of the scenic area, there was a parking area for self-driving cars. Then we could check our tickets and enter. The environment is very clean, and walking on the shaded avenue is really pleasant. The air on the mountain is fresh, and occasionally birds sing...
The main gate is very grand, suitable for taking photos. On the way up the mountain, on the left side, there are several old trees where some people tie wish bands and plaques, which is quite meaningful.
We first followed the signs to Guangming Temple. This temple is named after the master (I forgot his name) who used the water from Guangming Spring and herbs to cure Empress Wu Zetian's eye disease. However, the temple is now closed, the Zen tea room is not open, and although Guangming Spring still has water, it is not clean anymore.
Following the right side of Guangming Temple upwards, the path is newly paved and very clean. The sanitation is very well maintained, which deserves great praise. Going up, we saw a temple with Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva inside, and there was another deity in the middle that I didn't see clearly. There are no fortune-tellers here, everything is as fate wills, and you can buy incense to offer yourself.
On the left side, a small door leads up a wooden plank path to a platform with stone elephants and small animals, and as shown in the picture, there is the 'Record of Sakyamuni's Enlightenment' written with a brush on the wall, quite impressive! On the right side, there are two more Buddhas, sorry I don't know their names. After exiting through the small door on the right, we went to the 'Bodhi Tower', which has a wide view. Looking out, it's really refreshing, and it's also a good place to rest and replenish energy

Please! Is there anyone who doesn't know how to make their own Rizhao travel guide
Welcome to "Sun City of the Orient" Rizhao! Here, not only do we have miles of golden beaches, but also the poetic and picturesque sunrise spectacle and a wealth of cultural landscapes. This carefully compiled Rizhao travel notebook will unveil the mysterious veil of this seaside city for you, taking you on a unique journey that combines natural scenery, cultural history, and authentic cuisine.
🌈【Highlight Attractions】
1. Wanpingkou Scenic Area: As one of the most famous scenic spots in Rizhao, the beach here is wide and flat with fine sand, making it a paradise for swimming and surfing enthusiasts. At sunrise, you can greet the first rays of the sun over the East China Sea here, feeling the endless tranquility and magnificence between heaven and earth.
2. Rizhao Ocean Park: It is not only an ideal place for family trips but also a great spot to learn about marine ecology. Strolling through it, you can observe various rare marine creatures up close, and there are also exciting dolphin shows and other activities waiting for you to explore.
3. Wulian Mountain Scenic Area: Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, climbing high to see far, the lush Wulian Mountain lets you appreciate the natural wonders. The Buddha's light shining over the mountaintop's Jiuxian Mountain Great Buddha also deeply reflects the profound historical and cultural heritage.
🍽️【Taste of Rizhao】
In Rizhao, seafood is undoubtedly a feast not to be missed. Fresh fish, shrimp, and crabs from the Rizhao fishing port are skillfully cooked by local chefs, creating mouth-watering dishes such as steamed sea bass, garlic steamed scallops with vermicelli, and pan-fried Spanish mackerel cakes. In addition, Rizhao green tea is also unique, tasting a sip of the fragrant Rizhao green tea is like tasting the flavor of the entire spring.
🚗【Transportation Tips】
Rizhao is convenient for transportation, whether by self-driving or public transport. Rizhao Shanzihe Airport offers several domestic flight services, and the train station has high-speed trains directly to major cities. The city's bus routes cover the main attractions, and taxis and ride-hailing are also very convenient. If you choose to drive, the G15 Shenyang-Haikou Expressway and the G25 Changchun-Shenzhen Expressway can both take you to Rizhao.
📝【Recommended Itinerary】
• 3-day 2-night itinerary plan: On the first day, visit Wanpingkou Scenic Area and enjoy the sunrise, then head to Rizhao Ocean Park in the afternoon; spend the whole second day at Wulian Mountain Scenic Area, and have a seafood feast in the city at night; on the third day, you can have free activities on the beach, or choose to visit nearby ancient towns, ending a pleasant journey.
The above is my detailed guide to traveling in Rizhao, hoping to add some color and fun to your trip to Rizhao. Let's start an unforgettable travel memory under the sunshine of Rizhao together!

Come play in my hometown for a day
If you come to Rizhao, as a local, I recommend you definitely check out the Egret Bay. It's niche but worth it.
★ Reason for recommendation: You don't need to go to Wuhan University to enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms. With 36 varieties of cherry blossoms such as Somei Yoshino, Hatsubeni, Okanzakura, and Sekiyama, there are tens of thousands of cherry trees. The branches are full of densely packed buds, and the air is soaked with a faint fragrance.
★ Special highlights: There is also the Jimmy Train Park that children love the most. I recommend everyone to definitely take a look. Although it's not big, the content inside is rich, themed around characters from Jimmy's books. The fountain pool is a great place for kids to play in the water in the summer, and there's a pizza shop inside with great tasting food. The park has non-powered equipment that kids really love. The picture book museum is also worth a visit. Riding the little train around the park and stopping by the popular bookstore is a must. Right next to the Jimmy Train Park, it's very photogenic.
A breeze stirs up a fragrant ripple, the flowers are yet to bloom, but their scent arrives first. The flower season is about to begin~ Spring is already preparing a grand display of blooming and surprises for us. But before that, why not look for those scattered clues, listen to the whispers of spring, and seek out the message of the first blooming flower~

Cherry Blossoms
👍Highly recommended:
As soon as the news of the cherry blossoms blooming in full spread, photography enthusiasts were eager to move, making plans to visit Dongjialou Village. Driving on the Qilu Style No. 5 Road, they were greeted with a feast of spring scenery, with a thousand acres of cherry blossom sea within reach.

Cherry Blossoms
In Wulian, spring belongs to the cherry blossoms; only after seeing them here can spring be considered complete. Every year, in spring, Dawang Village takes the lead as 'the first branch of spring' to bloom, with lush and flourishing flowers. The petals are as delicate as snowflakes in white, set off by specks of peachy red. It always happens suddenly, overnight, bustling and bustling, 'desperately' striving to load this once-in-a-lifetime cherry blossom season.
