Things to do in Gaoqing

The escape routes within the traditional courtyard house are incredibly ingenious and well worth exploring. It's best to do some research beforehand, or hire a guide on-site; it will definitely be worth the trip. Security is as tight as the escape routes on a city wall; rules are as strict as the well water used by the women; the guards are as mysterious as the cabinets where bodyguards hide; and the escape routes are as ingenious as the design of hidden doors and drawbridges. While not as grand as the Wang Family Compound, nor as famous as the Qiao Family Compound, the Wei Family Manor is a system in itself, full of mysteries and intricate calculations—it's truly fascinating.

The architecture and layout of Weiji Ancient Village are quite unique, but for some reason there are no tourists. During the more than one hour I spent there, I did not see a single tourist. Hundreds of shops were closed, and only two were open.

This is a relatively famous tourist attraction in Zibo. Because it was the National Day Golden Week, it was packed with tourists, making the already narrow streets even more congested. The streets are lined with a dazzling array of small shops, and there are also several venues to visit.

My second trip to Mount Tai, fulfilling my promise to the Eastern Peak once more. The first time, I was solely focused on reaching the summit, but this time I could leisurely appreciate the cliff carvings and ancient pines along the way, experiencing the rich cultural heritage of the ancient Fengshan ceremony. The Eighteen Bends remained precipitous, but climbing to the South Heaven Gate and Jade Emperor Peak, overlooking the continuous mountain range, I felt the grandeur of "Ascending to the summit, one can survey all the mountains below." The scenic area has excellent facilities; although the climb was tiring, the expansive view from the summit more than made up for the fatigue. It truly lives up to its reputation as the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains, and I will definitely come back.

A stunningly high-quality museum, filled with history and beautiful artifacts, the national porcelain display is particularly unique! The porcelain used at state banquets is truly extraordinary; seeing set after set is simply dazzling and overwhelming.

The scenic area isn't large; the main attraction is Baotu Spring. The rest of the area is mostly garden-style. It's like a postcard image of Jinan. Visiting Jinan without seeing Baotu Spring feels like a missed opportunity. I visited on a Friday, but it was still very crowded. Parking around the scenic area is extremely difficult; I recommend taking a taxi.

Seems like a must to visit based on reviews. Since it is at Qingdao. The experience was okay. The queue was insane though during my visit. However, it didn't take too long.

There are usually many activities here to participate in. Please make an appointment in advance.

Definitely a great experience. We took the cable car from yangkou and hike down. Tried the 618 bus to Taiqing. But the day went pass very quickly we do not have enough time to hike to tai ping gong. Hence we took a didi back to town. A gentle reminder that you need to purchase the sight seeing bus separately if you didn't purchase it at first. The hike and view was nice. The cave mitian is the highlight but it was very crowded during my trip. Need to queue inside the cave in order to pass. It is a 1 way road. Which wasn't exactly a good experience.

It was great. I explored the Ouyuan Garden and the main street thoroughly, but didn't have time to visit the other alleys and attractions. The church wasn't open, but there were a few cultural and creative shops, and I bought quite a few things. Dong Ge's noodles were delicious; I ordered the pork intestine noodles, which were tasty and only 18 yuan, not expensive.
