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 · 33.9 km from Shouguang

I come every year, except for the May Day holiday when it gets crowded. This time I brought my parents to the exhibition, and the kids loved it. We'll definitely go again. The Shouguang persimmons and honeydew melons are delicious, and the Chaotian hot pot is also great.

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.

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 mountain is not very high, with an altitude of just over 400 meters. However, there is not much scenery along the way, and the climb is a bit tiring. The scenery is only beautiful when you reach the character "寿" (longevity). At the top, the wind feels very comfortable.

The scenic area of the Jidian Lake is located in Niutou Town, Shouguang. The whole scenic area is very large. There is a field of reed rice, where you can play by boat. There is a new playground with a large investment. You can bring your children here to play. There is also a new zoo with many animals. It is very nice to come here for a day.

[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. ✨
