Things to do in Pizhou

Aishan Scenic Area is like a bright pearl hidden in Zaozhuang, Shandong. When you first arrive here, you will be attracted by its unique natural scenery. Driving to the scenic area, the road is shaded by trees and the scenery is pleasant. After arriving, climb up the winding mountain road and find that the strangely shaped rocks are scattered on both sides of the road, like the magic of nature. Climbing to the top of the mountain, looking far away, the surrounding mountains are rolling and shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland. The strange stones in Aishan Scenic Area are one of its major features. They are like ancient beasts crouching or immortals playing chess, with various shapes and lifelike. The most spectacular one is the "Stone Forest Maze". Being in it, it seems to have entered a fantasy world of stone. Walking in the scenic area, the ancient trees are towering, and the birdsong in the forest is endless, adding a bit of tranquility and mystery. In a quiet valley, a hidden underground canyon was also discovered. The stalactites in the canyon were upside down, and the streams were gurgling, forming a natural underground painting. Aishan not only has natural wonders, but also rich cultural landscapes. Longshun Temple, Dasheng Temple and other ancient monuments carry a heavy historical and cultural heritage for tourists to explore and feel. The teahouse on the mountainside is also unique. Tasting local special snacks and feeling the mountain tea rhyme are leisurely and comfortable. The only slight shortcoming is that the facilities in some areas of the scenic area are slightly old, the signs are not clear enough, the scale of the tourist service center is small, and the services provided are limited. But overall, Aishan Scenic Area, with its unique natural landscape and profound cultural heritage, has brought me an unforgettable visual feast and spiritual journey.

This town is located east of Xuzhou and is currently undergoing expansion. There aren't many tourists, probably because there's an entrance fee. It's okay to stop by for a quick visit, but not worth making a special trip for.

The ancient city is very charming. Although it is newly built, it still bears the marks of history. I stayed for two nights and saw the ancient city under the sun and in the rain and mist. I loved it. There are many snacks inside, and it's a great place to take photos. It's definitely worth a visit.

The Time Tunnel, located in the suburbs of Pizhou, is a scenic spot formed by ginkgo trees in the golden autumn season. There is a small service area here, which is basically only open in autumn. The scenic area provides camping tents, catering and related facilities. In the golden autumn season, the place is golden and the ginkgo trees are arranged like a dreamy time tunnel. However, have you ever seen the time tunnel in winter? The rows of ginkgo trees, with fallen leaves all over the ground, still have a kind of withered bone beauty.

[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. ✨

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!

No one can help but be awestruck by the architecture and splendor of Niushou Mountain. It houses the Buddha's skull relic, a supreme Buddhist treasure. The mountain is also very accessible for the elderly; after disembarking from the sightseeing bus, an extremely long escalator leads directly to the Buddha's Palace. Every detail is worth exploring. A sacred Buddhist site, faith nourishes all things. It's recommended to start with the underground palace, which is open to the public for approximately 21 days each year.

Slender West Lake truly lives up to its reputation as a classic Yangzhou garden, with its elegant lake scenery and scattered pavilions. The iconic Five Pavilion Bridge, White Pagoda, and Twenty-Four Bridges are all charming, offering picturesque views along the way. The scenic roads are smooth, with plenty of benches for rest, and you can also take a sightseeing bus for a more relaxed experience. The park is clean and refreshing; a leisurely stroll allows you to fully immerse yourself in the poetic beauty of Jiangnan, making the trip worthwhile. 👍

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.

The youngest martyr shows the life trajectory of the little carrot head. It is a must-see place for patriotic exhibitions.
