Recently, I traveled from Qingdao to Taierzhuang. It was an amazing experience, so I want to share my travel tips with you👇 🚗Transportation: • There is no direct high-speed train from Qingdao to Taierzhuang Ancient Town. I took a high-speed train to Zaozhuang Station first, then took a taxi to the ancient town. It took about 2 hours and cost about CNY 100. If you are traveling with a group, it is more cost-effective to rent a car. 🏨Accommodation: Zhuangyuanlou Hotel • The location is perfect. It is located in the ancient town, so you can walk around the ancient streets as soon as you leave your room. There are fewer tourists in the morning, so you can enjoy the charm of the ancient town in peace. At night, you can return to your room without having to drag your tired body around. • The hotel is in a traditional Chinese style, with flying eaves and black tiles, and has an antique charm. The rooms are exquisitely decorated with wooden furniture and classical windows, showing ancient charm in every detail. The service is attentive, and the staff are enthusiastic and helpful with luggage and introducing attractions. 🍱Food: Huajiadi • Daylily beef noodles: The beef is tender and flavorful, the noodles are chewy, and the broth is rich with the unique aroma of daylilies. It is very satisfying to drink a sip of soup and eat a bite of noodles. • Spicy chicken: The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The fresh spiciness of the chili peppers and the chicken are perfectly combined, making it so delicious that you can't stop eating it. It is perfect with rice. 📸Things to do: • During the day, you can stroll along the ancient streets, watch the ancient canal flow slowly, visit attractions such as the Deputy General's Office and Tianhou Palace, and feel the historical charm. • At night, the ancient town is brightly lit. You can take a boat ride and listen to the boatwoman sing a little tune. The lights on both sides of the river are reflected on the river, creating a dreamy atmosphere. Come to Taierzhuang and experience its unique charm. You will have an unforgettable trip💕

Transportation Self-driving 🚗 High-speed rail or train 🚊 🅿️ Parking Parking is available at the east gate, south gate, and bridge parking lot (📍Be sure to have the east gate on weekdays) 2. Travel route (If time is tight) 🍂 🏨 [Accommodation recommendation]: Castle in the Sky 🎈 Location: Inside the ancient city, convenient for travel, very close to the hotel after watching the night view. 🎈 Environment: Siheyuan-style architecture, full of ancient charm. The room is clean and tidy, fully equipped, and the bedding is also very comfortable 🛏 🎈 Service: The staff is enthusiastic and thoughtful, and will also provide some travel suggestions. 🎈 A particularly good point is to help make travel guides, and basically see every performance. ❗️Note ✅ Iron Flower: Watch the performance at 19:45 at Fuxing Square. I arrived 20 minutes early because I wanted a good position, but the Iron Flower started at 19:30. 🛶 · Sculling boat: One-way CNY 60/person, round-trip CNY 100/person. It is recommended to take the boat at night and sit at the bow.

After dark, the bar street becomes lively. ❓ Food At {Huajiadi Art Restaurant}, we ordered Zaozhuang spicy chicken, canal prawns, and two servings of rice. After the group purchase discount, the total was CNY 271.5. The spicy chicken was too much, and we realized we could order half a serving after the dish was served [🙈] The taste was very good 👍, but the dining environment (you can eat in the small courtyard) and service were particularly good. Fully play for two nights and three days: • One day for ancient city performances (avoid Tuesday when there are more performances) • One day for museums (many exhibition halls but few people, very quiet) 🙈🙈 If you want to know more, you can leave a message in the comment section

Transportation tips: If you're driving, there are several parking lots in the ancient town. Don't park in the first place you see. Drive a few hundred meters to find the official parking lot. Don't trust people on the street who say they can take you to a cheap parking lot. It's often a scam. Accommodation tips: There are many accommodation options in the ancient town, but the value for money varies greatly. Don't choose an inn near the main street. It's very busy, with people laughing and playing until late at night, and people leaving with their luggage early in the morning. It's very noisy! We chose the Lake Moon View Inn. It has a private courtyard. It's not on the main street, but it's very close to all the attractions, so it's very convenient. The environment is great, with a lake in the backyard where you can watch the Water Moon performance at 6:30. The rooms are well-equipped and comfortable, and the front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. Food tips: The prices of snacks and restaurants in the scenic area are generally similar to those outside. Lunch: We tried the local specialty, pancake with yellow beef noodles. Dinner: We ate at the Zhaohuaxishi Chinese Restaurant. The environment was great, and the food was delicious and authentic. We had local specialties like spicy chicken, canal carp, duck egg noodles, and pancakes with green onions. Travel tips: Some photo spots have people in ancient costumes who will offer to take your picture for free, but then ask for money afterwards, and the price is not cheap. If you want to take a photo, it's best to ask about the price in advance, or just take a photo with your phone. Also, for the boat tours in the ancient town, be sure to ask about the price and route before boarding to avoid being scammed. Taierzhuang Ancient Town is definitely worth a visit. It's truly a paradise on earth, even more beautiful than Suzhou and Hangzhou. But be sure to plan ahead to make your trip even more perfect. Bring your family and friends to Taierzhuang Ancient Town to experience its unique charm and welcome the wonderful year of 2025 together.
