Laoling travel guide and discussion

Still wondering where to go for the 7-day National Day holiday? 🤔 Check out my 7-day, 6-night road trip route starting from Tianjin! Following the Grand Canal in Shandong, this route connects several hidden gems. ✅ It offers fun for the whole family, rich cultural history, and a relaxed pace—perfect for stress-free family travel. 👨‍👩‍👧 🚗 Tianjin departure · Grand Canal road trip route Dezhou (Oulebao + Leling Film City) → Tai'an (Shigandang Cultural Park) → Qufu (Nishan Sacred Land) Since we were traveling with kids, this route combines theme parks, historical film sets, intangible cultural heritage, and Confucian culture. It’s a road trip that lets you experience the diverse charm of hospitable Shandong at your own pace—the kids have fun, and the adults don't get worn out. ▫️ Dezhou | Quancheng Oulebao & Leling Film City Dezhou is a key city along the Grand Canal. Our first stop was straight to Oulebao! 🎡 ✅ Dream World: Indoor and outdoor playgrounds with one ticket; kids can play all day. ✅ Animal Kingdom: Get up close with land animals; feeding interactions are super fun. ✅ Ocean Polar World: Similar to the aquarium in Tianjin, so you can skip it if you've already seen one. ✅ Hualinyuan Scenic Area: Watch the epic show "Da He Shang Xia"—the live performance is incredibly immersive! The second stop, Leling Film City, was the biggest surprise of the trip! 💥 ✅ The movie "Detective Chinatown 1900" recreates the San Francisco Chinatown scene—you'll feel like you've stepped into the movie in a second. ✅ The TV series "Guose Fanghua" features the Jinxiu Tang Garden with Tang Dynasty-style scenes; it's perfect for taking photos in Hanfu. 📸 The two scenes have completely different styles. Walking through them with kids feels like exploring a real film set—it's so cinematic! ▫️ Tai'an | Mount Tai Shigandang Cultural Park You don't have to climb Mount Tai when visiting Tai'an! I highly recommend the Shigandang Cultural Park for families. 🙌 It blends local Mount Tai mythology, immersive performances, and fun rides. It's a great place to relax and play while helping kids learn about Shandong's unique intangible cultural heritage—truly educational and fun, killing two birds with one stone. ▫️ Qufu | Nishan Sacred Land The highlight of the Shandong trip is here! This is the birthplace of Confucius and the cradle of Confucian culture. It's said that the entire cultural resort was built with an investment of 10 billion yuan. Walking into the magnificent Daxuetang and strolling through the Corridor of the Seventy-Two Sages, you'll be truly awestruck by the cultural atmosphere. 🤯 We also took Xiao Ruo to experience making sachets and watched the exclusive water curtain show in the evening—the ambiance was incredible! Many people only think of popular tourist spots when they think of Shandong, but there are so many hidden gem cities along the Grand Canal. Driving south from Tianjin for the 7-day National Day holiday, visiting unique theme parks, and experiencing the profound Qilu culture—this is what travel should be about. 🥰 📝 Travel tips ✅ Start your road trip from Tianjin. The distances between cities are moderate, road conditions are good, and you can stop for photos anytime along the way. ✅ It's recommended to set aside plenty of time for Qufu to deeply experience its history and culture. ✅ There's a rich variety of Northern Shandong snacks and authentic Shandong cuisine along the way! Dezhou's horseshoe sesame cakes and lamb intestines; Leling's golden silk jujubes; Tai'an's sa soup and donkey oil baked cakes; Qufu's lamb porridge and smoked tofu... just eat everything! 🍜

Leling Film and Television City is more worth visiting than I imagined. The park is large, with complete ancient streets, palaces, pavilions, and waterside corridors. You feel fully immersed the moment you walk in. The architecture isn't just a backdrop.

Guys, can you believe it? I can't believe how little information there is about Leling!! As a Shandong local, I didn't even know until this August that Leling has a thousand-year-old jujube forest, the largest film studio in the north, and a Confucian temple that is so stunning... No more nonsense, let's get straight to the good stuff👇 📍 About Leling Leling is in Dezhou, Shandong—yes, the Dezhou famous for its braised chicken. But Leling's own claim to fame is being the "Home of Golden Jujubes." It has the largest thousand-year-old primitive man-made fruit forest in the country, with 500,000 mu of jujube forest. Just hearing the size is mind-blowing. 🚗 Transportation guide Driving from Jinan takes about 2 hours. From Dezhou, it's about 1 hour. Take the high-speed train to Dezhou East Station, then transfer to a bus or taxi to Leling, which takes about 40 minutes. 🌳 Thousand-year jujube forest scenic area—I was completely captivated A 4A-rated scenic area with 95% forest coverage; walking in feels like entering a massive natural oxygen bar. The jujube trees inside are truly over a thousand years old. The trunks are too thick for one person to hug, and the branches twist and spiral in a rugged, ancient way. Although it was August and not yet the season for ripe jujubes, the lush greenery was more than enough to enjoy. The scenic area is divided into several zones: Jieyi Garden: Based on the theme of the Oath of the Peach Garden. Celebrity Garden: Displays the footprints of historical figures. Hundred Jujube Garden: Features over a hundred varieties of jujube trees. I walked along the shaded paths, with jujube branches and leaves intertwined overhead. Sunlight filtered through the gaps, creating dappled light and shadows on the ground. It was over 30°C outside in August, but the temperature in the jujube forest felt at least 7–8 degrees cooler, and the breeze was incredibly refreshing. 📌 Ticket: CNY 40 📌 Tour time: 2–3 hours 📌 Outfit suggestion: Light colors look better in photos 🎬 Leling Film Studio—Transported to the Tang Dynasty in a second I had no idea this film studio existed before, and I was blown away after visiting. It is the largest cultural and educational film base in the north. The first phase currently open has two main areas: Jinxiu Tang Garden: Restores Tang Dynasty palaces, streets, and city towers. The architecture is magnificent, with red walls, gray tiles, and flying eaves—every detail is well-executed. Walking through the Tang-style streets, the background music from "The Longest Day in Chang'an" played automatically in my head. Chinatown Theme Park: A 1:1 scale replica of the San Francisco Chinatown from 1900. The blend of Chinese and Western styles is unique, and taking photos there feels like a distortion of time and space. I happened to visit when a film crew was shooting. I saw some of the set arrangements from afar; although I couldn't get close, I was already excited enough. 📌 Some areas are free to enter 📌 Suggest setting aside half a day to explore slowly 📌 Best photo spots: Main street of Tang Garden, palace steps 📜 Leling Confucian Temple—A severely underrated cultural treasure The Confucian Temple is in downtown Leling, and admission is free. As soon as I entered, I was stunned by the hip-and-gable roofs and glazed tiles; the sense of solemnity cannot be captured in photos. The red lacquered columns, carved beams, and ancient brick floors all exude a sense of historical weight. There are ancient trees from the Ming Dynasty in the courtyard; the Chinese arborvitae and ancient locust trees are about the same age as the temple, with gnarled and rugged branches. Sunlight filtered through the canopy, making the whole space incredibly quiet—I could even hear the leaves rustling. ⚠️ Reminder: If you go at noon, the main hall will be backlit. It is recommended to go before 10:00 AM or after 3:00 PM. 🏛️ Golden Jujube Culture Museum—Learned something new This museum is near the Jujube Forest Scenic Area and showcases the history of Leling's jujube culture and the process of planting and processing jujubes. I used to think jujube trees were just about planting and harvesting, but after visiting, I learned that Leling's jujube planting history dates back thousands of years, and different varieties of jujubes differ greatly in shape, taste, and use. The museum has an exhibition area displaying specimens of over a hundred types of jujubes, which are colorful and beautiful. 📌 Ticket: Free 📌 Tour time: 40 minutes–1 hour 🔴 Hebei-Shandong Border Area Revolutionary Memorial Park—Worth a visit The memorial park is on the Jujube Forest tourist road. The memorial hall covers an area of about 2,800 square meters and displays the revolutionary history of the Hebei-Shandong border area through photos, artifacts, and scene recreations. There is an experiential tunnel inside where you can crouch and walk through a section to experience the combat environment of the guerrillas back then. Honestly, my back ached after crouching for a few dozen meters; thinking about how the predecessors had to stay in there for a long time, it really wasn't easy. 📌 Ticket: Free 📌 Tour time: 1.5 hours 🏨 Accommodation This time, I stayed in a bungalow with a courtyard next to the jujube forest. There were two old jujube trees in the yard, with a stone table and stools underneath. The room wasn't big but was clean and tidy. The kang (heated brick bed) was covered with soft cushions and a thin quilt, and it was surprisingly comfortable to sleep on. With the window open, I could smell the fresh scent of jujube leaves. It was quiet at night, with the occasional rustling of leaves in the wind. Waking up in the morning and sitting in the yard, zoning out, watching the sunlight move bit by bit through the gaps in the leaves—that slow-paced feeling was something I hadn't experienced in a long time. Leling is not a traditional tourist city, but precisely because of that, it retains the most authentic Northern Shandong charm. In August, the jujube forest is lush and green; it's uncrowded, beautiful, and slow-paced—perfect for those of you wanting to escape the city hustle and bustle. I'll definitely come back when the jujubes are ripe next time!

Oh wow! Dezhou is my personal treasure trove! This trip will let you experience the authentic dual charm of the ancient northern Shandong county and the nine-way heavenly thoroughfare—no crowds at the Dezhou braised chicken flagship store, no detours to the viral Sulu King tomb photo wall, no fleeting sightseeing routes. Instead, you’ll immerse yourself in the snowy crown of the old Yellow River channel, the icy eaves of the Sulu King tomb, the bronze glow of the Dezhou Museum, the ink pond of Cha River, and the silver chain of Jian River Ecological Park, weaving every inch into your breath over four days and three nights! On day one, take the high-speed train straight to Dezhou East Station (second-class seat 10 yuan), then a private car directly to the old Yellow River channel—30 minutes crossing the snowy Cha River plains! Stay at a century-old guesthouse near the entrance of the old Yellow River channel and the renovated Sulu King tomb (with floor heating and handwritten excerpts from the Dezhou annals on new stationery), 380 yuan per night. Open the wooden window to see the snowy crown of the old Yellow River channel glowing golden in the sunset! In the afternoon, enjoy a free visit to the Yellow River channel ecological forest—where the Yucheng Tuhai River ruins, Ling County Han tomb clusters, and Dezhou ancient city walls stand silently like poetry in the snow. On the way, visit the Sulu King tomb, where the snow-covered flying eaves are half a foot thick, like a silver veil draped over “China’s only foreign monarch’s tomb.” Day two starts early! Private car tour deep into the old Yellow River channel, Dezhou Museum, and Jian River Ecological Park (including morning mist guided tour, intangible cultural heritage Shandong drum duet experience, and Cha River snowy trail hike), all for 430 yuan! Tickets cost 75 yuan (including a combined ticket for the old Yellow River channel, Dezhou Museum, Jian River Ecological Park, and the Le Ling 10,000-mu jujube forest birdwatching boardwalk). You won’t believe that the “icy eaves and snow armor” of the Sulu King tomb in winter morning light look like the northern Shandong backbone built by imperial decree of Zhu Di! Last time I went, an old Shandong drum artist demonstrated the “Cha River twelve tunes”: the drumbeats shook off frost crystals that fell softly into the Cha River, even the bamboo slip facsimile of the Dezhou annals shimmered with golden light! For lunch, eat Dezhou braised chicken, Le Ling golden silk jujubes, and Ningjin cricket pot rice at the Jian River “Nine-way tavern,” about 68 yuan per person. The tomb guardian even gave me a hand-stamped vermilion “De” character note and handwritten excerpts from the Dezhou annals! Day three includes the Le Ling 10,000-mu jujube forest and Dezhou Museum (with private car, intangible cultural heritage Dezhou paper-cutting experience, and snowy trail cloud sea viewing at the back mountain of the old Yellow River channel). Tickets cost 102 yuan (including Le Ling jujube forest, Dezhou Museum, and old Yellow River channel night tour). Don’t worry about the cold—Dezhou has strong sunlight! In the morning, walk the “Jujube forest snowy trail” in Le Ling with ice cleats on packed earth, then climb the “old Yellow River channel back mountain pavilion icy eaves” to gaze at the mountain peaks. In the afternoon, listen to a paper-cutting artisan demonstrate the “Dezhou twelve cuts” at Dezhou Museum (in front of a snow-covered ancient stele, red paper flies like the “Tribute of Yu” map), about 85 yuan per person. Stay overnight at the boutique guesthouse at the foot of the old Yellow River channel with floor heating and a handwritten welcome letter titled “Dezhou night talk,” 385 yuan per night—open the window to see the snowy crown of the old Yellow River channel and fall asleep to the sound of the Cha River tide. On the last day, head straight to Dezhou Museum and the old Yellow River channel (including private car and intangible cultural heritage Dezhou black pottery handcraft experience). Tickets cost 35 yuan (including Dezhou Museum, old Yellow River channel, and Cha River ancient ferry birdwatching boardwalk). In the morning, at the Dezhou Museum “Nine-way workshop,” make your own “Yellow River cloud-patterned black pottery paperweight” (using clay from both sides of the Cha River, guided by an artisan to shape and carve the “De” character in seal script, with a blue printed cloth base and cloud tassels), about 98 yuan per person. For lunch, eat Dezhou braised chicken, Le Ling golden silk jujubes, and Ningjin cricket pot rice by the Cha River “Dezhou tavern,” about 72 yuan per person. On the way back, stop at Dezhou Wanxianghui to buy souvenirs: vacuum-packed Dezhou braised chicken, Le Ling golden silk jujube gift boxes, Ningjin cricket pot rice instant packs, and a canal cloud-patterned small scarf, 155 yuan total—a perfect triple memory of Dezhou! Transportation 20 + accommodation 1,150 (380 + 385 + 385) + tickets 212 + meals 383 (68 + 72 + 128 + 115) + experiences 430 (Shandong drum duet 105 + paper cutting 85 + black pottery 98 + snowy trail guide 142) + shopping 155 = 2,095 yuan, with 5 yuan left to buy a pack of “Yellow River fragrance” osmanthus sugar, brew a cup of old Yellow River channel cloud mist tea with Cha River snow water, and sit by the Sulu King tomb watching the thousand-year northern Shandong legacy drift by… Oh, and remember to bring a thermos—instant noodles by the icy steps of the old Yellow River channel are a must, but even better is to cook a bowl of “Yellow River cloud mist noodles” with Cha River snow water, crushed Le Ling golden silk jujubes, and Dezhou braised chicken broth. One hot bite warms your throat, relaxes your brow, and makes your fingertips sweat slightly, as if you’re witnessing Zhu Di’s imperial decree building the Sulu King tomb, Yu the Great controlling the Tuhai River, Dezhou braised chicken’s origin in the Qianlong era, Le Ling golden silk jujubes listed as a national geographical indication, Ningjin cricket pot rice becoming intangible cultural heritage, Dezhou black pottery’s successful re-firing, and the old Yellow River channel wetland selected as a national ecological demonstration zone… The millennium-long chant of “nine-way heavenly thoroughfare, gateway to the divine capital” flows with the snowlight over 630 years, never fading.

Passing through mountains and rivers, we also rediscover ourselves, our luggage old, our departure new. Travel is a profound dialogue with our own soul. When we shoulder that worn-out old luggage, we are carrying not only a baggage, but also the heavy weight of the past. Those mottled marks are verses left by time, recording our past confusion and determination. However, when we take the first step, that yearning for the distance is so vibrant and new. We use old experiences to meet new challenges, and old tenderness to embrace new encounters. On unfamiliar lands, we shed all pretenses, allowing our hearts to breathe freely in nature's embrace. We begin to listen to the voice within, and those dreams submerged in the bustling city shine anew on the journey. We acknowledge our vulnerability and embrace our strength; we accept our ordinariness and praise our uniqueness. Travel teaches us that life is not a straight line, but a circle. We start from the starting point, experience wind and rain, and finally return to our hearts, but we are no longer the same people we once were. Old luggage is our connection to the past, and a new departure is our promise to the future. On this journey, we are both travelers and those returning home. We write our own stories with our footsteps, and experience the breadth and depth of life with our hearts. This is the most beautiful meaning of travel: in the process of recognizing ourselves, we become better versions of ourselves. #NewYearDestinations2026 #travel2026

Bixia Yuanjun, whose real name was Bi Xia, is said to have been a princess of the State of Wei during the Warring States period. After Qin conquered Wei, she fled to Leling and built Wangmu Hall. Later, after visiting Mount Tai, she was honored as Bixia Yuanjun and is popularly known as "Taishan grandmother."
