Shouguang Vegetable Hi-Tech Demonstration Park

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.

Shouguang Polar Ocean World

Shouguang Polar Ocean World was an amazing experience! The adorable penguins, beluga whales, and other polar animals were incredibly cute and soothing, the shows were fantastic, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The venue was clean and cool, making it a perfect place to take the kids for a stroll. 🐬

Ancient Town of Qingzhou

The scenery was beautiful; from the city tower, you could overlook the entire original appearance of Qingzhou Ancient City, which was quite breathtaking. The ancient city was bustling with people, and a festive atmosphere permeated everywhere.

China (Shouguang) International Vegetable Sci-tech Fair

I 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!

Shihuyuan

Before coming to Weifang, I didn't expect that there was such an exquisite miniature garden hidden in the city center. Shihu Garden is known as the "Pearl of Eastern Shandong". The entire garden is only over 3,000 square meters, but when you walk in, you don't feel like you can "see through it at a glance" - there are rockeries, ponds, corridors and pavilions, and it has both the regularity and stability of northern houses and the graceful charm of the winding paths of Jiangnan gardens.

This is really not recommended..., but it is indeed a mountain

Yunmen Mountain Scenic Area

I went around 6:30 in the morning. The air was fresh, and there was the rustling of leaves in the wind and birdsong in the mountains. Climbing the steps was a very pleasant experience. The steps were gentle and didn't require much effort, making the climb relatively easy. I even encountered a cute little squirrel along the way.

Mount Taishan

Taking the Zhongtianmen Cableway on Mount Tai is a time-saving, effortless, and worry-free option. It only takes about 10 minutes to get from Zhongtianmen to Nantianmen, and you don't even need to climb the 18 bends – truly a blessing for lazy people!

Ouyuan Garden

I switched hotels at the last minute, and the photos on the platform didn't make me think it was anything special. I just thought Qingzhou Ancient City was close to the pedestrian street! It's only 50 meters from the main street! Cars can drive right up to the hotel entrance, but I wasn't particularly impressed. I didn't have any expectations at the front desk either! The receptionist said the rooms were on a street behind, and the whole street belonged to our hotel. I had no idea what that meant! Turns out… after walking 20 meters around to the back street, it really wasn't a lie! The entire street belonged to this hotel, all uniform two-story buildings; a private underground parking lot! My goodness!!! It was beyond my imagination!!! As someone who grew up in Beijing's hutongs in my 30s, can you imagine the significance and value of "a ground-floor apartment with a courtyard"? It's incredibly luxurious, extravagant, and amazing!!! I booked two standard rooms, next to each other! That means two ground-floor standard rooms with courtyards, and they were right next to each other! The rooms were huge, I'd estimate around 40 square meters! The bathroom was also enormous! Clean, hygienic, and simple! Here are some pictures! The front desk staff were also incredibly friendly and attentive! They were always there to help! I didn't want to leave!! I hope the owner opens more branches in other cities; I'll definitely follow them!
