this place is located in the north east of Beijing, I can highly recommend this for an walk in the afternoon or by going there with kids as well. People which are interested in art will get to see a lot of beautiful sceneries. Based on an old German industry architecture, this place is ideal for doing photos and hanging around smoothly with a coffee to go or if you like in one of the cafe’s there around. Getting There - by didi to 798 art zone, bus line 403, Metro 🚇 line 14 exit Jingtai to north Attractions - for kids, families, couples, perfect for dating Food & Restaurants - you will find something Shopping - souvenirs and artworks

Northern China is a land of extremes. Super hot summers and FREEZING winters! There are about three or four heavy snowfalls every year so you will be quite lucky to catch the flakes falling during a trip. All-in-all it's a beautiful sight and surreal experience.

Weifang is a small and simple city slap bang between the giant cities of Jinan and Qingdao. It is famously recognized as the "Kite City", the home of the traditional Chinese kite. HOWEVER, I wouldn't expect to see much kite action in the city if I were you. It's more an ancient past time than a practicing element of modern Weifang culture. It would be wiser to explore the Bailang River. Getting There - Weifang has a domestic airport, but most travelers arrive via the high-speed train line running from all parts of the country to Qingdao. Attractions - As mentioned, the Bailang River is the most beautiful part of the city. It runs south to north through the city, with unbroken and well-paved cycling/foot paths running parallel. I recommend a ride south to the genuinely beautiful ShiDi Wetland Park. Also along the river, and in CBD, is the Kite Museum (not bad for a quick lookaround) and the Taihua Mall. I recommend an evening walk from Taihua, down to the Kite Museum, through the People's Park, then on to Yuandu Bridge. The area is also dotted with a number of 3 star bars. Hotels - The Pullman Hotel (5 stars), Taihua Pillow Hotel (budget), Oceanwide Hotel (budget) Food & Restaurants - LaoChengGen Restaurant (local cuisine), Hidilao Hot Pot Restaurant (spicy hot pot), Hippy Burger, Susie's, Movecamp (western style food) Shopping - Taihua Mall, Wanda Mall, Gooda Mall #travelguide

Life in the city, used to shopping in the supermarket, apple is the fruit that you can eat every day, you can buy it all year round, but when I come to Yantai Qixia, my friend told me specifically, the most important part of Qixia You must taste the real Qixia apple, you will know that the apple can be so delicious, watching her exaggerated and envious eyes, I can't help but laugh, the most common fruit of apple food, can eat something fresh. Feeling? Looking at the apples full of branches, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Qixia Apple is really very good. It is not only sweet taste, but also the unique fragrance of fruits. Most of the fruits we eat are stored in cold storage. Although there is a sweet taste, crisp and delicious, but the natural fruit aroma is gone.

This tower is called Wenrun Pavilion. The stairs are open and you can climb directly to the highest top floor and get a panoramic view of the scenic spot. The view from the top of the building is very wide, and the scenic spot is also the highest point within a few kilometers. There is a cloister outside the top floor, which can enjoy the scenery without a 360 degree corner.

#2026New Year Entering Hangzhou Wenyungak, the antique architecture captivated my eyes. The worn bricks and tiles bore the marks of time, evoking a sense of antiquity. Stepping inside, I was greeted by a diverse array of cultural artifacts on display. Calligraphy, paintings, ceramics, and woodwork showcased exquisite craftsmanship and exceptional artistry. Each artifact offered a window into the culture and lifestyle of that era. The garden surrounding Wenyungak was also beautiful. The lush greenery, lush lawn, and pristine pond blended together to create a tranquil setting. This visit was an unforgettable cultural experience.

We ordered the sauerkraut and beef tallow hot pot base 🌶️ and the jasmine and tomato hot pot base 🍅. The combination of sauerkraut and spicy broth was amazing! There was also pickled radish in it, which reduced the greasiness, and the sour and spicy flavor wasn't cloying even towards the end! The Angus snowflake beef brisket had a clear texture, and after a few seconds in the broth, it was so tender it burst with juice 😋. Dipped in sesame sauce, it was absolutely delicious! The handmade fish fillet was beautiful, bouncy, smooth, and incredibly fresh. Finally, we had a bowl of rice noodles—so fragrant that my friends and I were fighting over them!

Before traveling to Weifang, I selected my hotel by comparison and chose the Weifang Zhongwei Oriental Hotel as my first choice. Stepping into the lobby, you enter a silent and grand artistic realm. Looking up, under the high vaulted ceiling, the geometric gold-carved ceiling spreads out like a star map; the central crystal chandelier resembles a falling galaxy, with thousands of sparkling lights shimmering, casting flickering reflections on the black-and-white interwoven marble floor, dreamlike and magical. The corridor columns resemble a beautiful classical music piece, with Romanesque upright postures supporting exquisitely delicate carved railings. The beige stone is warm and jade-like, while the black cast iron is cold and firm; the two complement each other, playing a harmonious melody of solemnity and lightness. Suspended in midair are two giant dragon kites, like lively variations in the musical score—the vermilion tassels hang freely, the dragon heads held high, the dragon bodies winding, with the bright colors reminiscent of Weixian New Year paintings subtly infusing the oriental auspicious charm into this modern space. The most captivating is the central black sculpture group titled "Let Dreams Fly." The figures are vivid and dynamic, as if time freezes at this moment, contrasting with the warm-colored peony mural on the service desk background wall, telling the past stories of Weifang in detail. Light and shadow flow freely in the lobby, and the marble floor is like a clear mirror, collecting the brilliance of the chandelier, the passion of the dragons, and the calmness of the sculptures, weaving them into a three-dimensional poetic painting. At Weifang Oriental Hotel, there is no excessive embellishment, only a heartfelt dialogue between classical and modern: the crystal chandelier’s clarity reflects the ancient and heavy dragon patterns. In this small space of the lobby, it interprets the inclusiveness of a city. It carries the ancient charm of the Kite Capital, like a softly murmured ancient poem flowing slowly through the river of time; it also has the bright sharpness of the era, like a passionate new song playing the strongest sound of the times. Address: No. 181 Dongfeng East Street, High-tech Zone, Weifang City, Shandong Province. Transportation: Bus lines 50, 52, 72, Ring Line 16, Oriental Hotel Station.

Live chickens are slaughtered and served within 30 minutes, a world of difference from frozen chicken! The meat is so tender it melts in your mouth. Each chicken weighs over 3.5 pounds after slaughter, a truly hearty portion! A nourishing medicinal broth, without a single grain of salt, locks in the original flavor of the chicken, so delicious I drank three bowls of soup! The chicken carcass can also be made with salt and pepper, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, increasingly addictive with every bite. I must praise the fermented bean curd chicken wings! Fried to a golden brown, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the fermented bean curd is perfectly seasoned. Remember to eat them while they're hot, they're so juicy! All the meat in the restaurant is hand-cut by the chefs, not machine-processed, and they use Luhua peanut oil for cooking—the attention to detail is impeccable.

At the restored section of the ancient city wall on Fushou East Street in Weifang, there is the site of an old cannon platform. Approaching the site, the iron cannon still holds its head high. The cannon body is mottled like the wrinkles on an elderly hand, and the lotus patterns wrapped around the cannon’s tail have been weathered by wind and rain until blurred, yet one can still faintly discern the strength of the craftsmen’s engraving from the late Qing Dynasty—those raised lines still hold the lingering warmth of gunpowder smoke from that era. The city wall is a silent storyteller. The gray bricks interlock in the ancient “one stretch, one header” pattern; the square holes at the battlements once held crossbows, now only the wind passes through, carving fine indentations on the brick surface. The stone pavement beneath the wall is polished bright by countless footsteps; moss between the bricks withers and flourishes with the seasons, and between spring’s growth and autumn’s decay, it stains the bricks with flowing rings of time, much like a poem the earth writes to the city wall. The cannon faces southeast, its muzzle gazing at the now bustling street filled with traffic; the gunpowder smoke has long since cleared, after all, the world has changed. The stubborn wild grass growing through the cracks in the wall emerges year after year, continuing to watch over the ancient city’s dawn and dusk on behalf of the vanished defenders. As dusk spreads over the parapet, the silhouette of the iron cannon gradually merges with the city wall. Only the circle of wear marks on the muzzle, worn over years, softly tells the story: here once roared the clash of arms and horses, yet in the end, it all returns to peaceful times. Address: No. 340, Fushou East Street, Kuiwen District, Weifang City, Shandong Province.

If you’re in Golmud and craving an authentic taste of China, you can’t miss savouring a traditional Beijing copper pot hotpot experience. This classic culinary tradition has been around for centuries and is the ultimate way to enjoy hotpot—especially with expertly sliced fresh meat. The copper pot hotpot stands out with its unique design: a round pot with an elegant chimney in the middle, historically fired with charcoal. In Golmud, many restaurants preserve this old-school style, offering a pot divided into two sections—one for a rich, coffee-hued broth full of spices, and another left plain for diners to customize their dipping sensations. You’ll receive a platter of beautifully marbled meat, usually hand-sliced mutton or beef, stacked neatly and ready for a quick dip in the bubbling broth. Use your chopsticks to swish the meat through the simmering liquid, letting each slice soak up the fragrant, savory flavors before dipping it in sesame sauce or garlic and chive oil for extra punch. Part of the tradition—and fun—is the communal aspect. Gather around the copper pot with friends and family, sharing stories as you swirl meat, vegetables, and tofu through the broth. The contrast in your pot reflects the yin-yang balance beloved in Chinese culture: the deep, aromatic soup on one side alongside the clear “white soup” or simply a plain section for a lighter taste. If you’re feeling adventurous, add noodles, lotus root, or mushrooms, and savor how each ingredient changes the flavor of the broth. Practical Info: Golmud’s main hotpot restaurants are often busiest at dinner, from 6 PM onwards, so consider heading in a bit earlier. Most local spots open from around 11 AM to 10 PM. Look for “Beijing Style Copper Pot Hotpot” (北京铜锅火锅) on the storefront or ask locals for their recommendations—word of mouth is a great way to discover the city’s best-kept culinary secrets. Remember to check whether the broth is spicy, mild, or dual-flavored to suit your taste. Tips: – For the best aroma, order freshly cut meat and have it prepared while you wait – The copper pot’s broth is replenished regularly; don’t hesitate to ask for more soup base if it burns down – Go with a group for the most fun, as hotpot is a social activity in China – Ask for local mushroom or yak meat additions if you’re feeling adventurous This Golmud hotpot experience is more than just a meal—it’s a warm, shared tradition and the perfect way to end a day exploring the city. #Hotpot #ChineseCuisine #GolmudEats #TravelFood #BeijingCopperPot
