Qingzhou Shenxianmen, the "Mountain King" of the thousand-year-old ancient village

🎫 **Ticket Mysticism · Wool Gathering Technique** - **Free Admission**: Currently, the scenic area offers **free entry**, but it is recommended to bring 5 yuan in small change to donate to the Mountain God Temple’s merit box in exchange for a “blessed cultural creative ice cream” (sold at the foot of the mountain stalls, the chocolate flavor can wake up even the laziest kids)! - **Divine Deal**: Join a local outdoor group (such as Panshi Outdoor) for ¥120, including round-trip transportation + whole lamb feast + insurance, a cost-effective deal that beats cram schools! 🚌 **Transportation Tech · Avoid the Crowds** - **Self-driving Heroes**: Navigate to "**Qingzhou Shenxianmen Mountain**," look for the entrance at Beifuwang Village, Miaozizhen Town, free parking! Arrive before 9 AM for parking spots more abundant than Cao Zhi’s inspiration. - **Bus Riders**: Take the **Miaozizhen Town Special Line** from Qingzhou Bus Station, tell the driver “Get off at Shenxianmen!” (After getting off, walk 1 km along the Millstone Road to capture Stone Age-style photos). - **Secret Route**: On the return trip, detour around Renhe Reservoir, with its azure lake and layered mountains, parents will enthusiastically snap a “Qingzhou version of Kanas” nine-grid photo! 🍖 **Foodie Code: Whole Lamb with Baked Flatbread, Even Immortals Can’t Resist!** - **Mountain King Delicacies**: ✅ **Renhe Reservoir Whole Lamb Feast**: Firewood stewed for 4 hours, milky white lamb soup paired with freshly baked flatbread, so fragrant Tang Saier wants to quit the village and become a chef! ✅ **Miaozizhen Tofu Box**: Deep-fried tofu stuffed with meat filling, drizzled with sour and spicy sauce, one bite bursts with juice (beware of scalding your expression). - **Avoidance Guide**: Head straight down the mountain to Qingzhou Ancient City! → **Longsheng Pastry**: Grab the Honey Three Cuts! Sweet enough to make your throat tremble, paired with mung bean cake to cut the richness, even Su Shi would want to promote it. → **Old Locust Tree Fried Buns**: Crispy bottom + bouncy meatballs, opens at 6 AM, if you’re late you’ll only be biting air! 🏡 **Overnight Guide: A Journey from Wilderness to Ancient City** - **Budget Happy House**: **Home Inn Business (Ancient City Branch)**: ¥200+ stay in the scenic area’s prime spot, walking distance to Ouyuan Street, free parking lot + charging stations, kids rolling on the bed while you snack on seeds. - **Top Choice for Families**: **Zijing Hotel**: Family rooms come with sand digging tools, rooftop views of the ancient city at night, parents relax with tea and opera. - **Ultimate Wild Fun**: Camp by Renhe Reservoir! Rent a tent for ¥50 each, stargaze at night and trout fish in the morning (bring your own bait, fish are smarter than claw machines). 👨👩👧 **Age-specific Immortal Cultivation Techniques** - **Youngsters**: Charge! Climb to find the “Shenxianmen” cliff stone gate, post on social media with the caption: “Jade Emperor, please sign for this delivery!”. - **Parents with Kids**: At the foot of the mountain, there’s a “Red Leaf Treasure Hunt” (autumn only), collect yellow smoke tree leaves to exchange for maltose candy, proven to cure laziness! - **Filial Piety Plan**: Drag your parents to visit **Tang Saier’s Watchtower Village**, trick them by saying: “This is the Ming Dynasty female CEO’s office!” (a tactic to avoid marriage pressure +1). > **💡 Tang Saier’s reaction**: > Morning as the “Mountain Village King,” lunch devouring lamb like a hero, afternoon picking leaves turning into a hipster— > **The ultimate secret of Shenxianmen: kids chase red leaves while parents lie down, youngsters busy editing photos for nine-grid posts!** > (Friendly reminder: wear non-slip shoes! A fall on the wild path can create a Water Margin opening scene effect; bring mosquito repellent, mountain forest mosquitoes are fiercer than the head teacher) **【Leg-saving Route】** **Morning**: Enter the mountain from Beifuwang Village → treasure hunt for red leaves → rush to the Shenxianmen cliff gate **Noon**: Whole lamb feast with flatbread at the foot of the mountain **Afternoon**: Fish at Renhe Reservoir → return to ancient city to show off fried buns **Night**: Camp under the stars / relax in ancient city guesthouse
