The scenery is pleasant and lush with trees. Unfortunately, it was too hot today, with no wind at all, and my clothes were soaked with sweat. There were few people and no water sellers, so each person only brought one bottle of water up the mountain. I came down halfway up. It's a good place to visit around May Day or National Day.

In late October, the cable car was closed for maintenance for two days, but thankfully there was a sightseeing bus available. The scenic area has many stone carvings, and there was a short film about the Monkey King in the Water Curtain Cave. The mountaintop is Jade Maiden Peak, the highest peak in Jiangsu Province, offering panoramic views of Lianyungang. There are also some old artifacts and restored pieces from the Wanli period.

Standing on the sea-view Yuntaishan Scenic Area, you can see Lian Island and Lianyungang Port, which is a truly magical perspective. Yesterday I was on Lian Island, and today I can overlook it from above. There's a giant wing-shaped sign right outside the bus stop, and a photo spot at the "Sea Eagle" sign. If the sunlight is good, it's incredibly photogenic. There are also directional signs. Seeing this makes me want to sing, "I'm standing in Lianyungang, looking towards Beijing!" Hahaha!

The visit to the park was very pleasant. We saw a group of monkeys, played games to earn silver coins to exchange for small gifts, and the gifts were quite nice. The Water Curtain Cave featured several segments on display, which were quite interesting. After spending most of the day there, it was definitely worth the price.

[Celebrating] Climbing Mount Tai, a journey through all four seasons! ⛰️ Initially sunny, then a sudden downpour, heavy rain covering the mountain, thick fog shrouding the peaks.
On the way down, I was surprised to find a clear sky and a sea of clouds surging.
All the twists and turns transformed into a magnificent vista before my eyes, and my heart felt instantly lighter and more open. ✨

The main attractions are the natural landscape, with Laolongtan Waterfall and Canglong Cave being the core sights, making it perfect for families with children to enjoy water activities. The downsides are that the scenery is significantly diminished during the dry season due to low water levels, and the stone paths are slippery, so caution is advised. Summer night tours also feature performances such as iron flower displays.

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!

Niushou Mountain is also beautiful in autumn. For tourists with limited time, it's recommended to take the shuttle bus, as the uphill walk will be close to 10,000 steps. The Buddha Palace is exquisite and suitable for leisurely exploration and worship. Unfortunately, the shuttle bus stops too few times, and on the way down, we passed a large field of pink muhly grass, but unfortunately, we couldn't stop to admire it. Those with ample time and good stamina are advised to slowly explore the descent, as the scenery along the way is also quite beautiful.

The Mitian Cave was quite interesting. I thought it would just be a normal cave crawling experience, but once inside, I had to bend over, squat, stand up straight, and even turn sideways to get through. Emerging from the cave entrance, the view opened up dramatically, revealing mountains and the sea – a delightful and romantic surprise…
