You must stay at this newly opened hotel when you come to Jinan! The room is decorated in a very high-end style. Compared with other hotel groups that keep reducing their configurations, this hotel really spent more money. There are welcome fruits and mangosteens. It feels very cost-effective! The executive lounge is very quiet, the afternoon tea tastes good, and the lady in the lounge, Liz, is really beautiful and kind. Her service is just right. She doesn't disturb the guests, but can provide them with various "proactive services" in time. I was asked several times if I needed some snacks or other drinks. This is much better than the market-like environment in the lounges of other hotels. The tomato beef noodles in the breakfast restaurant are very good, and there is ice cream! The shape at the door really looks like a spaceship in a movie, haha.

I was speechless at the beauty of the Jiuru Mountain Icefall It was shocking to see it live...and the photos were superb too! The icefall is very large, with a Frozen atmosphere, and the scenery opposite gives it a Nordic Xinjiang feel. The ice road is very slippery, so you must wear crampons, which you can buy on site or bring your own The recommended shooting time is around 3 or 4 pm. There is no strong light during this period before sunset, so you can capture the blue glacier feeling. In addition to taking photos and checking in, you can also go to the Creative Arts and Crafts Museum to experience making lipstick, perfume, chocolate, dried flower sachets... You can bring your children there, the parent-child interaction is really good, and you can take it away with the ticket experience voucher 🎫 The park complex is huge, so you don't have to worry about the monotony of the trip. There is also a snow park outdoors, which is family-friendly. The charcoal stove inside the wooden house is really warm! !

| Romantic Autumn in Jiuru Mountain. 🌳My friends, I recently went to Jiuru Mountain and was really amazed by its beauty! The autumn scenery here is like nature has spilled a palette, with fiery red maples, golden ginkgoes, and evergreen pines and cypresses, creating a colorful landscape that resembles a fairy tale world. Walking along the wooden plank road, the fallen leaves rustle underfoot, the stream flows gently beside you, and the fresh air is refreshing, making you feel healed both physically and mentally. The cabins in the scenic area are scattered and unique. Staying here, you are awakened by sunlight and birdsong in the morning and fall asleep to the sound of insects and the starry sky at night, feeling extremely comfortable. There are also various handicraft activities, where you can make perfume, lipstick, and chocolate, which are full of fun. The small items you make yourself give you a great sense of accomplishment. Whether it's a date, a family trip, or a gathering with friends, Jiuru Mountain is a great choice. Come and have a date with autumn here, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with this landscape.

#OctoberGoodDestinations2024 Jinan Jiefang Pavilion to learn about history Jiefang Pavilion is a tourist attraction in Jinan, located in the southeast corner of the original Jinan city wall. It is separated from the Black Tiger Spring by only a moat. The Liberation Pavilion was built to commemorate the Chinese People's Liberation Army's capture of Jinan in the Jinan Campaign of the Second Kuomintang-Communist Civil War. Its site is the breakthrough point of the People's Liberation Army's siege on September 24, 1948. Admission is free and it commemorates the Kuomintang-Communist War and the victory of the Communist Party. There are related exhibitions on the upper two floors. I think visiting the Liberation Pavilion helped me better understand the history of that time. ##100 Ways to Travel ##Jinan ##Jiefangge

#100 Ways to Travel Mingshui Ancient City in Jinan, Shandong, is also known as the Wuzhen of the North. It has two major selling points. One is that it is the former residence of Li Qingzhao, a female poet of the Northern Song Dynasty. The other is that all the water in the water city comes from underground springs. The water is crystal clear and the scenery is beautiful! Moquan is one of them, with 3 tons of water output every day. The temperature is 12 to 15 degrees in summer and warm and not frozen in winter. With the blessing of autumn colors and the backdrop of blue sky, it is particularly comfortable. Mingshui Ancient Town has a large scenic area, with daytime and night views, various performances and intangible cultural heritage displays. It is generally recommended to stay overnight to have more fun!

#Take a boat Taking a boat trip to Jinan is definitely the best way to get from Jinan. Jinan City is surrounded by a moat. You can see many famous scenic spots in Jinan in just one round.

I've been to Daming Lake 3 times so far, and I want to say that no matter it's spring, summer, autumn or winter, the scenery of Daming Lake is very beautiful. In spring and summer, Daming Lake is very vibrant green, with lush branches and leaves, green grass, and even the lake seems to turn green. In autumn and winter, Daming Lake is a very high-grade gray, with cold wind, withered grass and trees, and a duck swimming on the quiet lake. When it comes to Daming Lake, many people should think of the first question Ziwei asked Qianlong in My Fair Princess: Do you still remember the summer lotus by Daming Lake? The precipitation of Chinese history and culture for 5,000 years, every landscape has a story, such as the story of Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi behind West Lake, and the history of the Bund in Shanghai, and Juzizhou reminds people of Chairman Mao's poem "Qinyuan Spring". The story behind Daming Lake is about the romantic affairs of Emperor Qianlong, but what I want to say is that the most impressive thing about Daming Lake is its beautiful scenery. Do you prefer the scenery in summer or winter?

2 hours from Beijing, the "Northern Jiangnan Town" is seriously underestimated. I spent two days in Jinan over the weekend. It turns out that small bridges, flowing water, and misty rain are not only in Jiangnan, but also in Jinan. I walked into the lotus flower in Li Qingzhao's pen in Mingshui Ancient City and spent the slow life I yearned for. There are springs during the day and poetry and wine at night. It is suitable for weekend vacations and the photos are particularly good! [!]Location: Mingshui Ancient City

#100 Ways to Travel Heihu Spring is one of the four major spring groups in Jinan. It is located in the Ring City Park and its water volume is second only to Baotu Spring. The "Hei 乕泉" in the middle of the stone tablet is a variant of the Chinese character for tiger. Black Tiger Spring is formed by a natural cave. When the spring water gushes out, there is a rough sound, which is similar to the roar of a tiger, so it is named: Black Tiger Spring. ⋯⋯⋯⋯ Open to the public free of charge, you can come at any time, it is the most popular place among locals, and it is also the place where old Jinan people get water. There is a water collection point. Scan WeChat and spring water will flow out (about ten seconds). You can also follow the local people to collect water directly from the moat. Take a walk along the path beside the moat. The coolness brought by the spring water, plus the willow trees on both sides, and the beautiful scenery as shown in the picture will make you feel that the trip is worthwhile.

The best way to understand a place is to go to its museum. When you come to Jinan, the Shandong Museum is a must-see. This museum, established in 1954, is grand in scale and rich in collections. The "Top Ten Treasures of the Museum" are worth checking out one by one! The top ten treasures of the museum each have their own characteristics. Among them, the red pottery animal-shaped pot and the eggshell black pottery high-handle cup reflect the pottery-making process. The Yachou axe and the big jade wall of the Lu Kingdom are iconic collections. The Songgui and oracle bone inscriptions witness history. The bamboo slips of Sun Tzu's Art of War and Sun Bin's Art of War, and the murals of the Han Tomb in Dongping are cultural treasures. The nine-crown crown and the Qing Zhengbian double pine map axis are the crowns of the Ming Dynasty prince and Zheng Banqiao's paintings, both of which are treasures. The "Top Ten Treasures of the Museum" of the Shandong Museum are all in the 6, 7, 8, and 9 exhibition halls on the 2nd floor, not far apart, and it is very convenient to watch in one stop. What if there is still time after watching the "Top Ten Treasures of the Museum"? The Shandong Museum has a permanent Buddhist statue art exhibition, Han Dynasty portrait art exhibition and three special exhibition halls on the first floor; the third floor mainly exhibits the African wildlife migration exhibition, archaeological achievements exhibition, etc. Not enough to see? There is an art gallery next to the Shandong Museum. I'm afraid you don't have enough energy. It takes a lot of physical strength to visit the Shandong Museum once, so be prepared. The Shandong Museum is very easy to make an appointment except for summer vacations and long holidays, and you can make an appointment at the door. Large luggage cannot be brought into the museum, and there is a storage place at the door. After entering the museum, remember to ask the staff at the consultation desk for a museum guide to facilitate the tour. I didn't catch any explanations in the museum for half a day. Whether to rent an interpreter or not, weigh it yourself. Shandong Museum
