Weifang Kite Museum
Weifang Kite Museum is one of the earliest large-scale kite-themed museums in China. Its architectural design is inspired by the Weifang dragon-headed centipede kite; a complete, composite ceramic giant dragon coils along the roof ridge, and the peacock-blue glazed tile roof undulates like a dragon soaring through the sky. The museum houses and displays thousands of exquisite kites from ancient and modern times, both domestic and international, supplemented by historical materials such as photos, paintings, and replicas. The kite culture exhibition on the first floor begins with the legend of Mozi and Lu Ban creating wooden kites during the Spring and Autumn period, unfolding the 2,000-year history of kites from military tools to folk spring entertainment. It features domestic schools such as Beijing, Tianjin, and Nantong, alongside Yangjiabu kites with their woodblock print style, as well as kites from North Korea, Japan, Malaysia, and Western countries, plus a retrospective of the Weifang International Kite Festival. Hanging high in the main hall is the giant dragon-headed centipede kite "China Dragon," crafted by kite artisans; the dragon head is over 4 m high, and the dragon body stretches over 200 m. Nearby, the miniature goldfish and swallow kites are so small that you need a magnifying glass to see them clearly. Beyond the exhibits, the museum also features a digital experience space, complete with VR experiences, an immersive cinema, and a creative workshop where you can try your hand at making a kite. If you catch the indoor circling eagle kite flying performance, you can see the kite circling in the exhibition hall like a real eagle without the need for wind. Visiting in the spring might coincide with the annual Weifang International Kite Festival; after viewing the kite treasures in the museum, head to the flying site to look up at the sky full of kites—only then can you say you have truly experienced Weifang's kites.Weifang · 30.6 km from Changyi

Watching the sunrise and catching the spectacular sea of clouds are common activities that visitors engage in. You are also encouraged to explore the ancient sites, engravings, and religious temples to understand the role of Mount Tai in China's long history.China · Tai'an

The VR brewing lab allows visitors to become brewers adjusting malt ratios, while the hop recognition system decodes the scientific secrets behind beer flavors. Personalized beer label printing customizes brews, turning taste into portable urban memories. This cultural landmark, bearing Qingdao's industrial DNA, not only showcases its benchmark value in cultural-tourism integration through honors like "national first-class museum" and "China's top 10 cultural heritage tourism cases," but also injects more sustainable vitality into the century-old factory by being selected as a "national cultural industry demonstration base." It continues to brew the city's cultural richness from industrial heritage amid the tides of time.China · Qingdao

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.Qingzhou · 84.2 km from Changyi

Although the scenic area isn't large, it boasts pavilions, towers, and flowing streams, and even includes the filming location for the TV series "Journey to the West," Gao Lao Zhuang. It's worth a visit if you're passing by, but not worth making a special trip. The nearby commercial area isn't very busy, but finding a beverage shop to enjoy a cup of tea is a great way to relax.

The only downside: the parking lot attendant, who wouldn't let anyone park even when there were empty spaces.
The kite-making DIY activity was very interesting. Making kites by hand.
The actor/NPC performance was excellent.

Mount Tai is definitely worth visiting. If you're physically fit, I highly recommend hiking (around 500 meters for a full marathon). If you walk slowly, taking photos along the way, you should be able to reach the summit in about 3.5 hours. If you have a fear of heights, the section near Nantianmen might be a bit tiring. You can take the cable car down the mountain. Prices on the mountain are very reasonable; it's not expensive at all. 4 bottles of water cost 10 yuan. I even brought three bottles of water with me, but it was a waste of money.

Convenient, just scan the code to enter. It's a combined A and B hall, with a single-line design so you don't backtrack… Just follow the signs. At the end of the two halls, there's a free beer area; you can get two. The second one was replaced with hot beer tea, which was also quite nice… At the exit, there's a souvenir shop. The beer mugs were in secure packaging to prevent them from tipping over, so I searched online for the same model from the official flagship store. The mug arrived home before I even got there!

Baotu Spring is definitely worth a visit. The park is beautiful, and aside from being very crowded, it has no other drawbacks. The three springs are quite large, though the spray isn't very high. Each pool is different, and it's quite interesting to observe closely. Some pools constantly emit small bubbles, and many pools are teeming with koi. However, due to the large number of people feeding them, the fish have become very picky eaters.

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.

You can feed seagulls while on the boat. I saw many people bringing large sausages, so I asked them out of curiosity. It was our first time here, and we hadn't done any research, so we didn't know. However, I did manage to take pictures of others feeding the seagulls, so it's kind of an activity. The island gets quite hot in the summer, so you can easily explore in half a day. Liugong Island, as a key coastal defense location, was the main battlefield of the First Sino-Japanese War. The island's museum is worth visiting, especially for children learning about history. There's still a naval presence there, so photography is prohibited in some areas.
The island has an extremely high forest coverage rate and is the first marine forest park in China. It's home to wild sika deer and also has a giant panda enclosure. It's mainly too hot in the summer; other seasons are better for exploring. Bring plenty of food and enjoy your visit at a leisurely pace.
There are vending machines on the island where you can buy drinks. There's also a hidden little supermarket further inside; locals often buy their drinks there at more affordable prices.
