#europetrip The Julius Caesar exhibition is... more like giving a history lesson alongside some not-so-extraordinary objects of the SPQR. There is a lot to hear with the audio guide and the texts are well-formed. But sadly there aren't many good antiques to see actually. The objects are mediocre, some not really relevant to Caesar in particular, and are mostly lumped in glass shelves that kills the aesthetics. If you haven't known a lot about Caesar you may find it very educative; but for me l've known enough about him, and this exhibition then becomes quite dull.

The city isn't large, but it has plenty of delicious food, making it quite suitable for a leisurely visit. Here's a half-day tour itinerary: Juye Station -- Yongfeng Tower -- Confucian Temple to Juye County Museum -- Site of the Qi-Lu Alliance Platform -- Juye North Station Highlights √ Yongfeng Tower A thousand-year-old tower immersed in water, surrounded on three sides by water, which you could originally climb to the top. √ Juye County Museum The exhibits are quite rich, including ancient tombs that have been relocated here. It was later discovered to be bigger and richer than the city museum. √ Site of the Qi-Lu Alliance Platform The meeting place of the states of Qi and Lu, the site has been restored, allowing you to experience history. The county's Jar Soup can be found everywhere, with the authentic ones not opening in the afternoon and evening. Once you leave Juye, it's hard to find, so it's recommended to give it a try. Juye is nestled between Heze and Jining, making it a convenient stop on a trip, and can be included in a Shandong off-the-beaten-path travel plan.
