Er'langshen Culture Relics Park

3.5
4.1/5
56 reviews

Erlangshen Cultural Relics Park is located at the mouth of Guanhe River, 4-5 kilometers north of Guannan County, where five rivers meet. It is said that Erlangshen in Journey to the West once guarded Guanjiang River (now Guanhe River), and the battle with Sun Wukong took place at the mouth of the river. The names of the scenic spots in the park are all related to Erlangshen. There is an Erlangshen Temple where you can burn incense and pray for blessings. The park is well greened, and with the beautiful waterscape, it is also a good place to take a walk in your spare time. The gate of the park is on County Road 207 in the east. After entering the gate and heading west, you will first see the Erlangshen Temple. From south to north along the central axis are the archway, the mountain gate, the drum tower and bell tower on both sides of the central axis, the offering hall, the stage, the Zhenjun Hall, and the sleeping hall. Among them, the Zhenjun Hall enshrines Erlangshen. To the west of the Zhenjun Hall is another group of buildings arranged in a north-south direction: the Reunion Palace, the Wenchang Hall, the God of Wealth Hall, and the Sanyuan Palace, which are places to pray for Wenchang's wealth, happiness, longevity and health. Go west past the Tuanyuan Palace and you will arrive at the Cixiao Pavilion, the tallest building in the park. Climb up the Cixiao Pavilion and look west to overlook the confluence of five rivers, which is very impressive. The octagonal platform to the west of the Cixiao Pavilion is the Zhanjiao Platform, named after the story of "Erlang crossed the river and killed the dragon to make his hometown". There is a large lake to the north of the Erlang Temple. The best place to see the water view is on the winding corridor on the north side of the lake. Willows on the shore brush against the water, the lake reflects the green trees and red flowers, and the breeze blows, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The Tsingtao Beer Museum is located at No. 56 Dengzhou Road, the birthplace of Tsingtao beer. This century-old factory, housed in a 1903 German-style industrial complex, witnesses China's beer industry journey from its infancy to prominence. As China's first beer-themed model for industrial heritage revitalization, the museum transforms weathered red-brick workshops into immersive spaces using precious early equipment like old motors, mash kettles, and boiling kettles. Visitors walking through the century-old memory corridor can touch over 30,000 artifacts from the German occupation era while overlooking the smart production lines of the "lighthouse factory" through glass walls. Through the dialogue between traditional wooden fermentation tanks and fully automated filling equipment, they decode the evolution of Chinese manufacturing from artisanal heritage to digital transformation. With the innovative concept of "living heritage + technological empowerment," the museum breaks free from the static display constraints of industrial sites. The VR brewing lab allows visitors to become brewers adjusting malt ratios, while the hop recognition system decodes the scientific secrets behind beer flavors. Personalized beer label printing customizes brews, turning taste into portable urban memories. This cultural landmark, bearing Qingdao's industrial DNA, not only showcases its benchmark value in cultural-tourism integration through honors like "national first-class museum" and "China's top 10 cultural heritage tourism cases," but also injects more sustainable vitality into the century-old factory by being selected as a "national cultural industry demonstration base." It continues to brew the city's cultural richness from industrial heritage amid the tides of time.

The Erlangshen Cultural Relics Park in Lianyungang is really unique! There are many legends and stories about Erlangshen, which has taught me a lot. The park environment is also very good, with green trees and shade, and it is not tiring to walk. Bring your children here to play and learn a lot of historical and cultural knowledge, which is quite good!

Jinshiyuan Tourist Scenic Area has a super full experience, a must for wine culture lovers! 📍Coordinates: Jinshiyuan Tourist Scenic Area ⏰Visiting time: 3-4 hours recommended 🌿Environmental atmosphere The overall planning of the scenic area is very comfortable, with green trees and water systems surrounding it. Walking on the road is as pleasant as visiting a park, without the messy feeling of general factory scenic areas. 👩💼Service experience It was very considerate from the beginning of entering the park. There were free guide maps and scenic area introduction brochures at the door. We caught up with the free tour group on the hour. The tour guide was super professional. She explained everything from the history of winemaking to the details of the process very clearly, and she would also take the initiative to answer everyone's questions, with a strong sense of interaction. The staff in the scenic area were very friendly, and they were very patient in asking for directions and consulting the location of the rest area. There is also free drinking water and clean toilets in the park, full marks for details~ ✨Special highlights 1. Super rich wine culture experience: you can visit the real winemaking workshop, watch the workers make wine in the ancient way, and observe the century-old cellar up close, and intuitively feel the truth that "wine is fragrant when it is aged". 2. Strong interactivity: There is a special wine tasting area where you can taste raw wine of different years for free, as well as a handmade winemaking experience. Wine lovers who like to drink can also buy raw wine exclusive to the scenic area! 3. Cultural creation is very attentive: the wine culture surroundings in the scenic area store are high-value and practical, from wine glasses, bookmarks to doll pendants, they are suitable for giving or keeping, and the price is not expensive. 📌Tips • It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes, the scenic area is not small, and there is a lot of walking; • You can experience the wine tasting area slowly, and the staff will explain the tips of wine tasting, which is very knowledgeable; • There may be wine performances on weekends, so it is recommended to come here on weekends Overall, whether you are interested in wine culture or just want to find a quiet and comfortable scenic spot to visit, this place is worth coming! The experience is far beyond expectations, and I have recommended it to my friends who love traveling~

The displays are informative, interactive, and visually appealing, so the visit never feels boring.The whole experience was really enjoyable, and there was plenty to see and explore. It was also a great opportunity to learn more about one of Qingdao’s most famous products and experience a little piece of the city’s culture.

The Niushou Mountain Underground Palace is quite impressive, but the higher levels don't seem to offer much to see. It's a shame to miss it, but if you do go, it's just okay. Your feet will ache from walking so much. It's not suitable for family trips, but it's great for taking photos!

Not bad, we climbed up and took the cable car down. But I actually think we should have taken the cable car up and then continued climbing to the very top of Tianyuan, and then come down. That way we could have seen the whole panorama. We were so tired climbing up that when we saw the cable car, we didn't want to climb anymore, and we didn't reach the top; we just came back.

The scenery in riverside parks across the country is pretty much the same, as that's the feeling after a short stroll around the entrance. It's only near the Twenty-Four Bridges that the core scenery of Slender West Lake truly comes into view (unfortunately, the weather was overcast and rainy). If you're short on time, I recommend entering from the South Gate, strolling to the Twenty-Four Bridges, taking a boat back to the South Gate (1 hour 30 minutes stroll, 10 minutes boat ride back to the entrance) (except for those planning to exit from the North Gate). It's effortless to walk with kids! 👍 I won't go into the scenery photos, but the ducks and geese in the lake are quite content. 👀

It was so much fun! Hongshan is a mountain, and the zoo is built on it, very close to nature. The design and thoughtful touches inside are adorable, and there are many kinds of animals that are very lively. I spent about four hours visiting the whole place and had a wonderful time.

Lian Island Scenic Area boasts beautiful scenery, soft sandy beaches, and clear waters. The island offers numerous seafood stalls, making it ideal for a relaxing vacation. The scenic area is well-managed and has excellent facilities, but it can get crowded during peak season. Overall, it was a good experience, and I recommend visiting outside of peak times. I visited during off-peak season, which contributed to my excellent experience.
