Guest User: Very cost-effective. Clean and tidy, breakfast is OK. Floor heating is very sincere. I don't like the feeling of being too hot. I called to ask why the air conditioner can't be adjusted lower. They said the air conditioner can't be used. I can only open the window to cool down. But the air outside is not good due to the haze and it is noisy.

On the land of Qilu, there once were a group of ancient Dongyi states. These small states and tribal civilizations lasted through the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, were conquered by Qi and Lu, and then faded into the dust of history. Seeing this historical exhibition at Shandong Museum reveals that the coastal area of Shandong also experienced a process of civilization and cultural integration. Almost every town has its own distant historical traces. ✅ About the ancient Dongyi states Shandong is the birthplace of Dongyi culture. Historically, many ancient Dongyi states existed here. Most of these states were founded by Dongyi tribes (such as descendants of Shaohao and Chiyou). They were active throughout Shandong during the Xia, Shang, and Zhou periods, later mostly annexed by the states of Qi and Lu, and eventually integrated into Huaxia civilization. 📌 State of Ni (Xiao Zhu state) Historical background: Originally the Dongyi "Er state" during the Xia and Shang periods. During the reign of King Xuan of the Western Zhou (798 BC), Zhu Yi’s second son Youfu (Zhu Fei) was enfeoffed in the former territory of the Er state, establishing the Ni state (often mistakenly called "Xiao Zhu state" or "Xiao Zhu Lou" because of its origin from Zhu state). It lasted about 537 years, spanning 15 generations, and was destroyed by the state of Chu in 261 BC. Location: Mainly in present-day Tengzhou, Shandong (early capital near Liangshui east of Tengcheng) and Shanting (mid to late capital at "Dongji"). 📌 State of Ju Historical background: Descended from the Dongyi Shaohao tribe, officially enfeoffed by the Zhou royal family in the early Western Zhou period (1046 BC) with Ziyuqi as ruler of Ju. The initial capital was Ji (now Jiaozhou), later moved to Ju (now Ju County). During the Spring and Autumn period, Ju was a strong eastern state, rivaling Qi and Lu, before being annexed by Qi in 412 BC. Location: Mainly in present-day Ju County, Jiaozhou, and southeastern Shandong. 📌 State of Lai (Donglai) Historical background: Founded by the Dongyi Lai tribe, its center before the Zhou dynasty was around present-day Changle and Linqu in Weifang, extending east to the coastal area of Huang County. Early Zhou period saw Lai competing with the newly enfeoffed Qi state (led by Jiang Taigong) for Yingqiu. Lai was defeated by Qi during the Spring and Autumn period, and the Duke of Lai was forced to move the capital to Huang County (Donglai). Lai was fully annexed by Qi in 567 BC. Location: Mainly in the northern Shandong Peninsula (Weifang, Yantai area). 📌 State of Xu (Xufang/Huaiyi) Historical background: A branch of the Dongyi Huaiyi tribe, existing since the Xia and Shang periods. Enfeoffed in the early Western Zhou, initially with the capital at Tancheng (now Tancheng, Shandong), later moved to Xuzhou and Sixian. Xu was strong during the Spring and Autumn period under King Xu Yan but was eventually destroyed by Chu. Location: Mainly in southern Shandong (Tancheng) and northern Jiangsu and Anhui. 📌 State of Yun Historical background: An ancient Dongyi tribal state from early Zhou times. Its capital was attacked and captured by Lu forces in 542 BC. Location: Mainly around Nanfang Town, Lanshan District, Linyi, Shandong. 📌 Other ancient Dongyi states Zhu state: An ancient Dongyi state, initially with its capital at Qufu, later moved to Zoucheng. It was a vassal of Lu and later divided into Ni, Lan, and other states. Lan state: One of the three states divided from Zhu, with its capital at Yangzhuang Tucheng, Tengzhou. Ji, Pi, Tan, Qi, and others: All ancient Dongyi states that once existed in Shandong, later successively annexed by the major states of Qi, Lu, and Chu. ✅ Check in to the museum’s Dongyi culture 📌 East of Huaxia — Dongyi culture exhibition from the Xia, Shang, and Zhou periods Location: 3rd floor, Exhibition Hall 15-1 Highlights: Over 110 artifacts including pottery, bronze, and bone and horn tools systematically trace the Dongyi culture’s journey from coexistence with Huaxia to integration into Huaxia civilization. Key exhibits: Include ritual vessels from the Yueshi culture shaped like zun, boats, and mushroom-shaped lids, as well as pottery from the Pearl Gate culture of the Shang and Zhou periods, showcasing the fusion of Dongyi and Central Plains cultures. 📌 Ju culture special exhibition Location: 1st floor, Exhibition Hall 3 Highlights: Focuses on the ancient Dongyi state of Ju, displaying over 240 artifacts such as inscribed pottery zun and bronze ritual vessels, illustrating Ju’s interaction with Qi and Lu cultures and the spirit behind "Never forget Ju." 📌 Dialogue with the eggshell black pottery high-stem cup Location: 3rd floor, Exhibition Hall 15-2 Highlights: Centered on the eggshell black pottery high-stem cup, compared with Majiayao painted pottery, demonstrating the peak of Dongyi pottery craftsmanship and revealing the unique aesthetics and technical achievements of Dongyi culture. ✅ Check-in tips 📌 Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, last entry at 4:00 PM. Closed on Mondays (except public holidays). 📌 Reservation: Book in advance via the Shandong Museum WeChat official account or website. It is recommended to reserve 3–5 days ahead, earlier during holidays. 📌 Guided tours: Guidebooks are available at the first-floor service desk, or you can rent an audio guide. Some exhibition halls offer interactive experiences.

Near Fuzhou, within Changle, the ancient Xianying Palace carries a story that feels less like history and more like rediscovery — a temple that disappeared beneath sand, and returned centuries later. Originally built in the Song Dynasty during the Shaoxing era, Xianying Palace was once an active coastal temple complex, closely tied to local folk belief systems along Fujian’s maritime edge. Over time, successive dynasties added layers of devotion — Ming and Qing artisans expanded its sculptural traditions, forming a rare composite world of regional deities and ritual figures unique to southeastern China. What makes this site extraordinary is not only its architecture, but what it contains inside: exceptionally vivid clay sculptures, representing a complete coastal pantheon shaped by generations of local belief. These figures, expressive and richly detailed, reflect the fusion of religious imagination and coastal life — a visual record of how communities once understood protection, sea travel, and divine order. In the late Qing period, natural disaster buried the temple beneath drifting sand, sealing it away for decades. For a time, it was forgotten — absorbed back into the landscape. Then in 1992, during local construction work, the site re-emerged unexpectedly. As sand was removed, the long-hidden statues and temple remains resurfaced, astonishing the community. The rediscovery was so significant that cultural heritage scholar Luo Zhewen described it with the inscription: “Joyfully seeing the treasure shine again.” Today, Xianying Palace stands not as a reconstructed attraction, but as a layered archaeological memory — where Song foundations, Ming-Qing artistry, and modern rediscovery coexist in the same sacred space. 📍 Location: Xianying Palace, Changle, Fuzhou 🏮 Known for: Song Dynasty origins, coastal folk religion, rediscovered clay sculptures, multi-dynasty temple layers 🏺 Highlights: Buried-and-revealed temple site, vivid clay deity statues, Ming-Qing additions, archaeological significance 💡 Travel tip: Visit slowly — this is not a rebuilt scenic site, but a place where every sculpture feels like it has just resurfaced from time. Xianying Palace is not simply a temple. It is a memory that was buried by sand — and later returned, still carrying the breath of its past.
Standing at the city gate, you can overlook the entire ancient city, and the Catholic church in the distance is also clearly visible. Overall, the scenery is acceptable. However, the service attitude and awareness of the ancient city staff need to be improved, as soft services are an important aspect of the tourism industry.
_wa***96Although 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.
Natasha...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.

Anonymous userI brought my child to take a look, and it seemed alright. Not too crowded, and they had a wide variety of vegetables and fruits. Especially the chili peppers 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️—so many varieties!
Anonymous userThe 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.
阿黛adelQingzhou, one of the Nine Provinces, has a long history. Although the city wall was built later, you can see a panoramic view of the ancient city from the top. In addition, the Imperial Examination Hall is very famous and produced more than 800 Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations).
M26***89My second trip to Mount Tai, fulfilling my promise to the Eastern Peak once more. The first time, I was solely focused on reaching the summit, but this time I could leisurely appreciate the cliff carvings and ancient pines along the way, experiencing the rich cultural heritage of the ancient Fengshan ceremony. The Eighteen Bends remained precipitous, but climbing to the South Heaven Gate and Jade Emperor Peak, overlooking the continuous mountain range, I felt the grandeur of "Ascending to the summit, one can survey all the mountains below." The scenic area has excellent facilities; although the climb was tiring, the expansive view from the summit more than made up for the fatigue. It truly lives up to its reputation as the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains, and I will definitely come back.
