🌟 China's Quintessential Quests: Nature, History & Culture 🌟
Embark on a journey through Qingdao, where each attraction tells a tale of beauty, history, and cultural splendor. Here's my roundup of must-see spots that promise an unforgettable travel experience!
🏞 Mount Taishan
Taishan District, Tai'an City
Worth every penny, Mount Taishan is a hiker's dream by day and a tranquil retreat by night. With VIP services offering customizable routes, the ascent is as breezy as the descent. Whether you're trekking up the Red Gate or taking a cable car from Peach Blossom Valley, the mountain's cultural significance and breathtaking views are not to be missed. It's a spiritual home that encapsulates the essence of Eastern culture and the harmony between man and nature.
🚢 Liugong Island
No. 101-2, Haibin North Road, Huancui District, Weihai City
A serene island steeped in history, Liugong Island is a poignant reminder of the past with its lush greenery and the towering statue of war hero Deng Shichang. It's a place where feeding seagulls and exploring retired warships offer a blend of peace and education. Despite the challenge of hailing a cab, the island's beauty and significance make it a top-tier destination in Weihai.
🌉 Penglai Pavilion
On the cliff of Linhai, 1.5 kilometers northwest of Yingbin Road, Penglai City
Penglai Pavilion is a scenic spot bustling with visitors. From its storied past fighting pirates to the legendary Eight Immortals, this destination offers a mix of myth and history. With its refreshing sea breeze and a plethora of nearby attractions, it's a coastal gem that's as educational as it is enchanting.
🏖 Liandao Island
Liandao Seaside Tourist Resort, Liandao Town, Lianyungang City
Rock music and sandy beaches define the summer vibe at Liandao Island. The clear waters and soft sands invite relaxation, while various water sports cater to the adventurous. With well-maintained facilities and a backdrop of music festivals, it's a seaside sanctuary that leaves a lasting impression.
🐾 Shendiao Wild Animal Nature Reserve
Xixiakou Village, Chengshan Town, Rongcheng City, Weihai City
A paradise for animal lovers, Shendiao Reserve offers up-close encounters with a variety of species. While the park's size requires stamina, the interactive experiences are well worth the effort. It's an ideal spot for families, offering both a glimpse into the animal kingdom and a chance to appreciate nature's splendor.
🏰 Taierzhuang Ancient Town
Huaxing Rd, Taierzhuang Qu, Zaozhuang Shi, Shandong Sheng, China
Step back in time in Taierzhuang Ancient Town, where the past comes alive with traditional outfits and picturesque waterways. Despite its touristy feel, the town's rich history and vibrant night scene offer a unique blend of entertainment and culture. The local cuisine may be repetitive, but it's a small price to pay for the charm of this historical enclave.

Suzana chen
Seeing the beautiful photos of Weihai taken by others, I decided to visit
The scorching heat in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai,
with temperatures reaching 38°C every day after the plum rain season 🌞
Ladies, to escape the heat, you have to head north,
Seeing the beautiful photos of Weihai taken by others,
I didn't want to leave once I got there
.
The attractions in Weihai are all along the coastline,
You can tour without retracing your steps 🚶
.
🧵 Route Recommendation
D1: One-day tour of Weihai City

.
1⃣ Chengshantou
Rated as the most beautiful inland coastline by "China National Geography", it is the earliest place to see the sunrise over the sea and is known as the "Cape of Good Hope of China". You can drive in or take a sightseeing car 🚙
At the end of the world, you can feed the seagulls, which makes for great photos 📷. You can enjoy the sea view along the Tianya Guanhai boardwalk, and if you're lucky, you can see a historical performance of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's eastern tour at Chengshantou 💃
Ticket: 148r/person
Self-driving car: 80r/car
Mini train: 20r/person
.
2⃣ Hailv Island
It is recommended to take the first boat at 07:30 in the morning for the best experience of feeding the seagulls with fewer people. The boat tour around the island takes about 50 minutes (you cannot land on the island), and you can get close to the seagulls throughout the journey 🐦
There are also many seagulls on the beach at Hailv Island Wharf, and there is a stranded ship called the Fortuna Goddess 🚢, which makes for great photos
Boat ticket: 120r/person
.
3⃣ Xixiakou Shendiaoshan Wildlife Park
The largest coastal zoo in Asia, where you can see animals from land, sea, and air in one place. It's very interesting, but there are many steps in the park, so it's not suitable for strollers 🛒

🏨 Accommodation
It is recommended to stay at the Ruize European Language Resort Manor opposite Hailv Island Wharf, which is very convenient for visiting the three attractions‼
The entire manor is very quiet and comfortable, and each room is tent-style. When you open the door, you have a first-line lake view, and you can feed the seagulls up close by the lake
In the evening, there are bonfires & fireworks parties, and it's very pleasant to sit around with a few friends, drinking, eating meat, and enjoying the sea breeze‼

📍 Xixiakou Shendiaoshan Wildlife Park
StellarSunrise
The largest zoo in Asia where you can get up close and personal with the animals!!
Who else loves visiting zoos like me🦒🐘🦧🦙🐅
As soon as you enter the zoo, you can feel the full presence of nature
The safari park even more so replicates their natural habitats
Fierce lions and tigers🐯
Adorable panda babies🐼
Clever monkeys🐒
I was shouting it's too complete, too complete, I simply can't get enough!!!
🦒The giraffe area is particularly interesting
You can feed them from a close distance
Watching their long necks stretch over to eat the food from your hand
🐢There's also a marine animal area
This is very special, right by the seaside🏝️
Sea lions and seals are very lively, and their performances are spectacular
🎡The whole park is quite large, but the routes are very well planned
Walking around, you won't feel tired
And the scenery along the way is beautiful, with lush green trees and fresh air
The two of us adults walked around for about 4️⃣ hours
When exiting the zoo, lazy babies can take a magic carpet ride
It's a fun and effortless way to end the visit~

Weihai Xixiakou Shendiao Mountain Wildlife Park
The Xixiakou Shendiao Mountain Wildlife Park is located in Weihai City, Shandong Province, covering an area of 3,800 acres. It is currently the largest coastal wildlife park in Asia. The entire park is situated by the mountains and the sea, and the scenery alone is very beautiful, especially the marine animal area at the exit is very stunning.
The variety of animals in the entire zoo is very rich, whether they fly in the sky, run on the ground, or swim in the water, as long as you can think of it, they have it here.
You can bring your own food into the park, there's no need to spend money to buy grass for feeding at twenty or thirty yuan a bunch.
The park is particularly crowded on holidays, and it's especially tiring to bring children, basically, it's people pushing you forward in a crowd.
Below are a few points I hope can help friends who want to come and visit:
1️⃣ Transportation:
① Free parking at the main entrance if you drive yourself! Driving into the park costs 40, and you have to take a detour! Not recommended
② Take a long-distance bus from the bus station, the earliest one at 6:30
③ You can also charter a car to go there
2️⃣ You can prepare a variety of clean vegetables. Peacocks like to eat crispy cabbage, break it into small pieces. Rabbits need to buy their food to go in and feed, I didn't go in. Monkeys can be given apples, sunflower seeds, bananas. The monkey species all have talents and can catch with bare hands. There are also animals like alpacas and ostriches that love to eat vegetables behind.
3️⃣ About the magic carpet: Not highly recommended, there is one in front of the peacock garden that goes directly to the beast area, you will miss the peacocks, take it if you don't want to see them; the monkey area is also not necessary, it's a very short staircase and you will arrive after a short walk; ③ There is one in the small animal area, you will miss animals, not necessary; finally, the oceanarium, after watching the sea lion show there is a magic carpet + slide, must take! It's a long way! And you will be very tired at the end of the trip, you can take this to rest. The charge is 30/person, children are free, 2 adults and 1 child, bargain for 50 (there is some fluctuation, other areas' magic carpets are around 15)
4️⃣ Glass walkway: Not necessary! It's expensive and you miss the close-up view of the beast area.
5️⃣ The bus after the oceanarium can take you to the entrance, and there's a loudspeaker shouting: It takes 20 minutes to the entrance!!! Pure nonsense, it's just seven or eight minutes!! It's not far, just walk and it's done!!
6️⃣ Feeding meat in the beast area: There are 2 charging areas in total. The first one is 30 yuan for 8 chicken necks, the second one is in the white tiger area for 20, the first one you can watch others feed, the second one is more cost-effective to buy and feed yourself.
7️⃣ Other animal expenses: If you don't want to spend so much money on feeding, I think guinea pigs are a must to go in and feed, they are very gentle, cooperative for photos, and children especially like them. Also, if you go to the giraffe restaurant, you must buy grass, the close contact experience is amazing. There is a charge to enter the parrot area, I didn't go, there are 6 macaws outside, very close and free! Seagulls in the marine area can be fed, the experience is good.
8️⃣ Dining: Just bring your own food, if you want to experience the dining in the park, I suggest going to the giraffe restaurant, the price is not too expensive, and the taste is passable.
9️⃣ If the child is three or four years old and usually can walk well, there is no need for a stroller, there are many steps, and it's more tiring to carry it around.
🔟 Dolphin show at noon, sea lion show at 15:00. If you want to see pandas, you must go early, they sleep at noon, and the pandas here love to eat steamed buns 😂.
⚠️ The above can be adjusted according to your own situation, sit down when you are tired, holidays are really not recommended, too many people, especially when bringing children, the experience is basically zero, just tired 🤣.

Xixiakou Shendiao Mountain Wildlife Park Nanny-style Guide
Before going, I read a lot of travel guides, and after visiting myself, I added some missing information and tips that are more suitable for my own family. There were two adults, one middle-aged person over 50, and a four-and-a-half-year-old child in our group, staying at the Xianghai.
At 10:20, there was already a traffic jam at the entrance, and the first parking lot was full. The security guards were stopping cars from entering, so we got out of the car. Note that if you are stuck in traffic at this time and the entrance direction is no longer allowing entry, decisively get out and cross the road into the scenic area. We tried to get into the parking lot by having the driver move forward and turn back, which not only added over a kilometer to our journey but was also very congested, and in the end, we still couldn't get in and had to get out of the car on the roadside. So even before reaching the zoo entrance, we had to climb a long slope. At the entrance, there was a long queue for ticket checking, and it felt like it would take twenty minutes just to get in. By the time we strolled to the restaurant, it would probably be almost two in the afternoon, and the child being young would definitely get cranky and hungry by that time. Moreover, the roads inside were very narrow, only wide enough for three people to walk side by side. With so many people queuing up to check tickets and entering, it would definitely be shoulder to shoulder, and there would be no point in seeing any animals. So we decisively gave up and took a taxi back to the hotel. We set off this morning at just after 7 o'clock, and finally arrived at the zoo at around 8:10. There were few people and the car could still enter. The driver dropped us off at the zoo entrance, saving us from climbing a slope and time. We left the zoo at around 12:30, spending a total of four hours, and we even rested for more than half an hour at the giraffe restaurant. We fed almost all the animals we could, didn't play with the old amusement facilities, were delayed a little while riding horses, didn't pay much attention to some of the common animals we see, and took the second magic carpet and rainbow slide as well as the third magic carpet and slide. The whole process was not crowded, feeding without queuing, only the last slide had a few minutes wait. I guess the reason for fewer people in the latter half is that the main group had come up, and they were stuck in the first half of the journey, which slowed down the progress. So in conclusion, it's still best to go early, and the weather was still cool. Today we felt the temperature was particularly suitable, there was wind on the mountain, and it was not hot or humid, which was very nice.
Regarding feeding, the first animal we fed was the tiger, at around 8 in the morning. They were so hot they didn't want to move, lazily lying there, and wouldn't walk an extra few steps even if the chicken necks were thrown far. As for the wolves, don't even mention it, they were all lying down in the distant shade. Later, we reached the monkey area, I forgot what the zookeeper was selling, but the monkeys weren't very interested. Instead, they were fascinated by the bread in the hands of the tourists. There were staff members next to us constantly reminding us not to feed them privately, so no one dared to feed them secretly. The feeding interaction experience in this part was not very good, and it was different from the guides I had seen before. But starting with the capybaras, it was different.

Weihai Tour
Weihai is surrounded by sea on all sides, my feeling is just a good blue sky
My son is having a great time, there are beaches everywhere to play
The cost performance is very high, feeding seagulls, picking up shells, playing with water, too happy
The summer is okay, not very hot, sometimes it rains, the price is cheap
Anyway, my son's favorite is the seagull, it's great

What attracts me the most is the animal world at the seaside. I especially like marine animals, super cute.
The proud lion, the hospitable zebra, the wild wolf, the hippo that always lingers in the water... This is not Madagascar, but the Shendiao Mountain of Xixiakou, but wherever you can think of it, here It can be seen that from elephants in Africa to sea lions in South America, these animals are once again gathered together to offer a warm and adventurous animal journey for everyone.

The Shendiao Mountain Wildlife Park does not go back. The first thing that comes to your attention is the lion and tiger beast. Each area will be accompanied by an introduction to the animal, so that you can spread the relevant animal knowledge even without a guide. It is very suitable for parents. Bring the baby to come and enlighten the animals.
I still remember the last time I went to the zoo or when I didn't remember, so I didn't have a big impression. The zoo was so interesting. I saw a lot of animals I hadn't seen before, such as the vulture, this magical animal. It was only the protagonist when I heard the celestial burial, but I have never seen the real body. This time I finally met each other and it was very bright.
Various animals see you dazzled, I don't have much spoiler, and I want to see more friends who still suggest to go there in person.
Amy..
The entire Shendiao Mountain Wildlife Park covers an area of 3,800 acres, with a beast area, a herbivore area, a marine animal area, an African animal area, a bear park, a bird park, a raptor garden, an orangutan garden, a leopard wolf mountain, a monkey mountain, and a golden monkey museum. Animal habitats such as the Panda Pavilion are the largest in Asia and the most complete animal species. The only one is a stocking safari that can see all the animals in the sea, land and air.
The zoo grows with us and witnesses our beautiful childhood. The pair of chubby little hands, bright and bright smiles, screaming with ecstasy, the joy of the children seems to make the animals happy.
Amy..
Zoo, this is a place to carry childhood memories. It gives us a chance to be close to nature born and raised in the city. It satisfies the curiosity of the young people in the animal world. In the zoo, whether it is adults or children, Without the boundaries of age, it is very childlike to tease the monkeys together and watch the bears play...
Xi Xiakou Shendiao Mountain Wildlife Nature Reserve is located in the northeast of Xixiakou Village, Chengshan Town, Rongcheng City, Weihai City, Shandong Province. The mountain is steep, and it is said that the Emperor Qin Shihuangs east tour Chengshan once shot a large eagle in this curved bow, the famous god carved mountain. Large mountain murals in front of the mountain, a variety of animal carvings on the mountain wall, lifelike, colorful, very rare, here you can already feel the unusualness of the Shenzong Mountain Wildlife Park.
The animals in the Disney animation can be seen here. There are many tiger breeds, Bengal tigers, white tigers, etc. Many children who are present are screaming, and they are very active if they take some food to lure them. It is.
