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 · 46 km from Huantai

In addition, the museum often holds various special displays and temporary exhibitions, such as "Red Zibo-Zibo Museum Collection Revolutionary Relics Exhibition" and "Shandong Province Collection Cultural Relics Tour-Ming and Qing Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition", which enrich the audience's visiting experience.Zibo · 18.2 km from Huantai

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 overall scenery is very good. It was November when I went there. It was a little bleak in late autumn, but the fallen leaves 🍂 were also very beautiful. Those with children can go to the second floor of Zhongshuge. There is a popular photo spot on the first floor, which is a balcony-style corridor that extends slightly.

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.

Mami Lake National Wetland Park is a great place to visit during the National Day holiday. The parking lot is large and quite crowded. You can take a cruise or rent electric four-wheeled vehicles. It's fun for both adults and children and it's not tiring.

This is a unique textbook-themed museum in China, brimming with memories of a bygone era. From ancient primers to old textbooks from the 1970s and 80s, the restored old-fashioned classrooms create a truly immersive atmosphere. Those born between the 70s and 90s will find it very relatable, and it's also suitable for families with children. The indoor exhibition hall takes 1-1.5 hours to explore, making it a worthwhile stop when visiting Zibo.

The Lantern Festival City was truly beautiful, the environment was clean, and there were various snacks available, which was very convenient; we ate while waiting for the performance. The performers were all very dedicated and professional, and their performance was excellent. After the show, they even stayed to take photos with the audience. The iron flower display was absolutely spectacular.

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.

I checked in at the Zibo Museum on the weekend and was really amazed. I was lucky enough to see the legendary Hou Yang Inkstone, which confirmed that the Peach Blossom Fan written by Mr. Kong Shangren was based on facts. This inkstone witnessed the sincere friendship and lovesickness and separation of the protagonists Hou Chaozong, Yang Youlong and Li Xiangjun. The story behind the return of this stone to the Zibo Museum is even more tortuous and bizarre. I suggest that friends who have read the story of Peach Blossom Fan take the elevator directly to the fifth floor of the museum to learn about this legendary and tortuous story.
