The hill is great; you can reach the top quickly. From the summit, you can overlook the Yellow River. The small waterfalls within the scenic area are very light and lively, and the vegetation is lush and diverse. It's a very nice place to visit.

Liaocheng Water City, also known as Jiangbei Water City, is surrounded by water. Originally built in the Northern Song Dynasty and renovated during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is renowned for its unique layout: "the city is nestled in the water, and the water and city are one." The city boasts a square layout, centered around Guangyue Tower and crisscrossed by cross streets. The city boasts numerous attractions, making it particularly worth a visit. Admission to the ancient city is free, though some attractions require tickets.

Boating on Dongchang Lake is quite cheap. A four-person boat costs 80 yuan per hour, and a six-person boat costs 100 yuan per hour. There aren't many people, so you can get on the boat without queuing. The electric boats are very easy to drive, and the lake is quite large, so you don't have to worry about bumping into other boats.

When visiting the ancient water town of Liaocheng, Shandong, I started my day by visiting the Guangyue Tower in the center. This over 600-year-old tower is quite impressive, especially the beautiful caisson ceiling. 👀

Mount Tai is definitely worth visiting. If you're physically fit, I highly recommend hiking (around 500 meters for a full marathon). If you walk slowly, taking photos along the way, you should be able to reach the summit in about 3.5 hours. If you have a fear of heights, the section near Nantianmen might be a bit tiring. You can take the cable car down the mountain. Prices on the mountain are very reasonable; it's not expensive at all. 4 bottles of water cost 10 yuan. I even brought three bottles of water with me, but it was a waste of money.

The ancient city of Liaocheng has some worthwhile attractions, with ingenious architecture and exquisite objects. The downside is that the attractions are much smaller than expected, and the price of 30 yuan seems a bit expensive; 20 yuan would be more reasonable.

Baotu Spring is definitely worth a visit. The park is beautiful, and aside from being very crowded, it has no other drawbacks. The three springs are quite large, though the spray isn't very high. Each pool is different, and it's quite interesting to observe closely. Some pools constantly emit small bubbles, and many pools are teeming with koi. However, due to the large number of people feeding them, the fish have become very picky eaters.
