Ancient Town of Qingzhou
Qingzhou is one of the ancient nine provinces of China. Since the early Western Han Dynasty, six cities—Guang County, Guanggu City, Dongyang City, Nanyang City, Dongguan Weizi City, and Qicheng—were successively built on this land, with a continuous urban history spanning over two thousand years. Today, the Ancient Town of Qingzhou has been comprehensively protected and restored, forming three major districts: the Beiguan ancient block in Dongyang City, the Ouyuan historical and cultural block and the South Gate block in Nanyang City, and the Zhaode ancient block in Dongguan Weizi City. Government buildings, traditional residences, and classical gardens are scattered across hundreds of ancient streets and alleys, such as North Gate Street and East Gate Street, with their blue bricks and dark tiles showcasing distinct Ming and Qing architectural styles. Unlike many entirely reconstructed ancient towns, this is a "living ancient town," where original residents still live in the old streets and alleys, and intangible cultural heritage items like the cuoqin are passed down on the streets, blending the vibrancy of daily life with ancient charm. A visit can begin by ascending the Fucai Gate Tower at the south gate of ancient Nanyang City for a panoramic view of the town's sea of dark tiles. Ouyuan is a preserved classical garden within the town, originally the eastern garden of the Ming Dynasty's Prince of Heng's residence and later the private garden of Feng Pu, a grand secretary during the Qing Kangxi era. Its three-peak rockery embodies the grandeur of northern landscapes. Figures like Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu once served as officials here, and Li Qingzhao lived in Qingzhou for over a decade, composing numerous ci poems. Historical relics like the Qingzhou Prefecture Examination Hall are also scattered throughout the streets, where traces of this cultural legacy can often be encountered. The main street is densely lined with shops, but to avoid crowds, one can turn into the side alleys or head straight to Zhaode Ancient Street—where rows of Ming and Qing-era houses remain, with wooden doors, stone steps, and flagstone paths offering a glimpse of old Qingzhou's daily life.China · Qingzhou

The Chinese version of Disneyland has decent attractions and is quite fun. It gets very crowded during the Spring Festival, so you can enter as soon as it opens and stay until closing time. There's something for both adults and children. The drone and fireworks shows at night are also good. However, the downside is obvious: after watching the fireworks, you can't get out of the parking lot due to severe traffic congestion!

Parking is easy, and the Jinshan Temple gate is just a short walk away, making it very convenient. The temple is quite large, with exquisite halls and majestic statues. It's shaded by trees, and there's a small lake with a small bridge, where waterfowl flock to swim in groups, a truly fascinating sight. Towards the back, there's a building shaped like the Temple of Heaven, predominantly white and gold. It's beautiful and well worth a visit.

Yuwangting Tourist Attraction, a place with profound historical and cultural heritage, made my trip full of surprises and gains. The scenic spot is located in Shiliwang Village, Shiliwang Township, Yucheng City, Dezhou City, Shandong Province. Although the traffic is a little remote, it is still convenient to drive or take a taxi.
As soon as I stepped into the gate of Yuwangting Museum, I was attracted by its simple and elegant architectural style. The buildings such as Dayu Hall, East and West Side Halls, Bell and Drum Tower are scattered and antique, as if they have traveled through time and space back to ancient times. Every detail here reveals the respect and inheritance of history, which makes people awe-inspiring.
The museum has a large collection of historical materials and cultural relics about Dayu's flood control. Through vivid exhibitions and explanations, I deeply felt Dayu's spirit of dedication to the people. In addition, the exploration of the Juqiu site also made me seem to witness the hardships and wisdom of Dayu's flood control with my own eyes.
In addition to history and culture, the natural scenery of Yuwangting is also intoxicating. The green trees, the fragrance of flowers, and the sparkling lakes provide tourists with a good place for a leisurely walk and taking pictures. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, listen to the echoes of history, and feel the precipitation of time.
In short, the Yuwang Pavilion tourist attraction not only allowed me to appreciate the profoundness of Dayu culture, but also allowed me to find a moment of tranquility and relaxation in my busy life. This trip will become a precious memory for me, and I strongly recommend it to every friend who loves history and culture.
