Mount Taishan

Mount Taishan is centered around Mount Taishan, the first of the Five Great Mountains, with steep and towering peaks, and the views of sunrise and sunset from the summit are breathtaking. Sea of clouds often appear among the mountains, and in winter there are spectacular rime ice views. In addition to natural scenery, the mountain also has numerous historical sites, stone inscriptions, religious temples, and other cultural views, with cliff inscriptions and steles scattered throughout the mountain, which is a major feature of Mount Taishan. Mount Taishan has its own highlights in each of the four seasons: in spring, peach and pear blossoms bloom across the mountains; in summer, the mountaintop is lush green and cool, making it a great summer retreat; in fall, the leaves are a mix of red and yellow, dyeing the layered forests in brilliant colors. There are multiple routes to the summit of Mount Taishan. The hiking trail at the Hongmen entrance is the traditional route opened during Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Fengshan ceremony, consisting mainly of stone steps. Walking from Hongmen to Zhongtianmen, you will pass by numerous attractions along the way, including Wanxian Tower, Doumu Palace, Huima Ridge, and Hutiange. This area is also where stone inscriptions are concentrated. After reaching Zhongtianmen, you can take a cable car or walk to Nantianmen and the summit area, where you can see attractions such as Eighteen Bends, Shengxian Archway, Duisong Mountain, Chaoyang Cave, and Wudafu Pines. The Tianwaicun route is a road leading from Tianwaicun to Zhongtianmen, accessible by tour bus, passing by Heilong Pool, Fanzhi Cliff, and Feng Yuxiang's Tomb. After reaching Zhongtianmen, it merges with the latter half of the Hongmen route. Travelers who prefer not to hike can choose this route. The Tianzhufeng route is relatively steep with few visitors, and is a hiking route often taken by outdoor enthusiasts. It features beautiful mountain scenery, including attractions such as Liyu Back, and at the starting point there is also the large-scale live performance "Chinese Mount Taishan: Grand Ceremony of Fengshan." The Taohuayu route is mostly chosen by travelers when descending the mountain. From Tianjie at the summit, take the ropeway to the mountainside, then transfer to a tour bus down to Taohuayu at the foot of the mountain. Along the way, you can enjoy the Colorful Stone Stream scenic area, where the colorful stone patterns at the bottom of the stream are quite magical. Dongyudao is also a walking hiking route, with attractions such as Qingyang Hall, Hanque Gate, and Dongtianmen along the way. Each route ultimately leads to the Daiding tourist area at the summit. Daiding features the main peak of Mount Taishan, Jade Emperor Peak, the Tianjie Scenic Area, as well as attractions such as Sun Viewing Peak, Daguan Peak, Zhanlu Terrace, Bixia Temple, and Confucius Temple. On clear days at the summit, you can gaze at the Yellow River in the distance and admire the wonder of the "Golden Belt of the Yellow River." The Houshiwu area is rich in varied pines and rocks, and there is a cableway leading to the North Heavenly Gate. Many visitors who want to watch the sunrise choose to climb Mount Taishan at night, usually setting off from the Hongmen route, and it is advisable to depart around 11 pm. This route is well lit at night, and a hike of about seven to eight hours will allow you to reach Sun Viewing Peak or Jade Emperor Peak at the summit before sunrise, which are ideal spots for watching the sunrise.China · Tai'an
Longmen Grottoes

Longmen Grottoes

Longmen Grottoes are located in the southern suburbs of Luoyang, Henan Province, on the cliffs along both banks of the Yi River. As one of China's three major grotto art treasures, they were inscribed on the World Cultural Heritage list in 2000. The grottoes were first carved when Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei moved the capital to Luoyang, and construction continued through the Eastern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Qi, Sui, and Tang dynasties, with the vast majority of niches and statues left from the Northern Wei and Tang periods. Today, more than 2,000 niches and over 100,000 statues remain, along with a large number of inscriptions and steles, making the site an important representative of Chinese stone carving art. The attraction is divided by the Yi River into two parts: West Hill and East Hill. The West Hill Grottoes are the essence of the site, carved from the Northern Dynasties through the Sui and Tang periods. Famous caves include Guyang Cave, Binyang Cave, Lotus Cave, Wanfo Cave, and Fengxian Temple. The Lushena Buddha at Fengxian Temple stands about 17 m tall, making it one of the larger Buddha statues at Longmen Grottoes. Its face is dignified and serene, with a faint smile, and legend holds that it was modeled on the appearance of Wu Zetian, earning it the name "Oriental Mona Lisa." The inner walls of Wanfo Cave are densely covered with about 15,000 small Buddha statues, each only a few cm tall, neatly arranged and finely crafted. Guyang Cave is the earliest cave carved at Longmen, and its inscription calligraphy is exquisite; the selected "Twenty Masterpieces of Longmen" are representative works of Wei stele calligraphy. Binyang Cave consists of the South, Middle, and North caves and took more than twenty years to complete. Its original reliefs depicting emperors and empresses worshipping the Buddha were looted and lost overseas in the 1930s. In Binyang North Cave, a Buddha statue has a distinctive hand gesture, with the right index and middle fingers raised in a shape resembling the modern "scissors hand," though it is actually a Buddhist mudra, and it once sparked heated discussion online. The East Hill Grottoes are mostly Tang dynasty works and are smaller in scale than those on West Hill, but from the opposite bank visitors can enjoy panoramic views of West Hill from different angles, especially distant views of the Lushena Buddha. The attraction also includes Xiangshan Temple and Bai Juyi Memorial Park (Bai Garden). The Tang dynasty poet Bai Juyi lived in Luoyang in his later years and once praised it, saying, "Of the scenic splendors of Luoyang's surrounding mountains and waters, Longmen ranks first." When visiting, simply follow the route West Hill—East Hill—Xiangshan Temple—Bai Garden, proceeding in one direction without backtracking. The West Hill Grottoes are densely packed with content, so it is advisable to set aside ample time for a closer look; East Hill is quieter and more secluded, suitable for a brief visit and gazing across the river when energy is limited.China · Luoyang

Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden, located on the shore of Longting Lake in Kaifeng, is a large-scale historical and cultural theme park that recreates the famous Song Dynasty painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by the Song Dynasty painter Zhang Zeduan at a 1:1 scale. The park is divided into two sections by the Shuangting Bridge: the South Garden recreates the bustling city life of Bianjing (Kaifeng), with restaurants, teahouses, and pharmacies lining the streets; the North Garden is a royal garden, with palaces and courtyards standing by the lake. Many performers and vendors along the streets are dressed in Song Dynasty costumes, and the sounds of ancient music and drums create an atmosphere that easily evokes the feeling of "stepping into a painting and traveling back a thousand years in a single day." Architecture is the most visually appealing feature here: the Rainbow Bridge spanning the Bian River is a replica of the famous bridge in the painting, shaped like a rainbow, and standing on the bridge to watch the canal boats come and go is just like in the painting; the Fuyun Pavilion stands tall above the other pavilions in the garden, with its red floors and golden tiles on four eaves, giving one the feeling of climbing up from afar; the Shangshan Gate is a reconstruction based on the gate of the Northern Song Dynasty's Bianjing city, tall and majestic, with brilliant paintings, and is the most magnificent city gate in the garden; pavilions and waterside pavilions such as the Shuixin Pavilion, Shuangting Bridge, and Jiulong Bridge are scattered among the blue waves. The daytime highlight is the themed performances scattered throughout the park: "Bao Gong Inspects the Bianhe Canal" takes place on the water on both sides of the Rainbow Bridge; "Wang Yuanwai Seeks a Son-in-Law" features a ball being thrown from an embroidered tower in front of Wang Yuanwai's house to choose a husband; and "Yue Fei Spears Xiao Liang Wang" takes place on the Song Dynasty military training ground, with horses kicking up dust. Folk performances such as cockfighting, stilt walking, and drumming are interspersed throughout. For those who want to immerse themselves in the drama, they can go to the Sifangyuan to change into ancient costumes and enter the examination cells to experience the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty. Families with children can enjoy rides such as carousels and roller coasters at the Song Dynasty Royal Park, all wrapped in Song Dynasty stories. In the entertainment districts, various Song Dynasty performances such as face-changing, fire-breathing, and ancient magic tricks take place in turn, and intangible cultural heritage performances may happen around you at any time. The park takes on a different look after nightfall: large red lanterns light up one after another, and the streets are brightly lit, a stark contrast to the daytime scene. The large-scale water-based live performance "A Dream of Splendor in the Northern Song Dynasty" is staged on Jinglong Lake. The entire performance is linked by eight classic Song Dynasty poems and a painting of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival," transporting the audience back to Bianjing (Kaifeng) in the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. The performance lasts about 70 minutes, and many visitors specifically set aside time for the evening to see this show. Dining options are also convenient within the park: the snack street in Tokyo Food Street offers a variety of Kaifeng snacks such as stir-fried mung bean jelly, braised chicken, and almond tea, perfect for strolling and eating; if you want to sit down and have a proper meal, you can visit the reconstructed Sun Yang Restaurant in the park, which was originally one of the seventy-two restaurants in Bianjing during the Northern Song Dynasty, where you can taste traditional Henan dishes such as soup dumplings and braised carp noodles.China · Kaifeng

The State of Wei, founded in the early Zhou Dynasty, had its capital at Chaoge. Qicheng was a small city located in the heart of Wei. In 629 BC, Duke Cheng of Wei moved the capital to Diqiu (present-day Puyang), which served as the political, economic, and cultural center of Wei for 388 years. Later, as the state's power declined, Qicheng became a key military stronghold on the northern border. The name "Qi" appears more than 40 times in the Spring and Autumn Annals. The *Zuo Zhuan* records that from 626 BC to 531 BC, feudal lords and high officials from various states held seven alliance meetings in Qicheng. The ruins of Qicheng contain a 20-meter-long, 16-meter-wide, and 4-meter-high platform, a rammed-earth platform built during the Spring and Autumn Period. The Qicheng ruins are located in the southern part of Puyang city. The city wall has a circumference of 1520 meters, with the highest remaining section reaching 8.5 meters and the widest section 16 meters. There are gaps of 30-40 meters wide on all four sides, likely remnants of ancient city gates. Admitted free of charge, this site, besides its historical significance, is also a popular spot for locals to relax. It has four gates: east, west, south, and north; parking is available outside the east gate.

Fortunately, there weren't many people when I went, and the sun wasn't too strong, making the entire hike very comfortable. The scenery and stone carvings along the way were breathtaking, but unfortunately, I didn't know much about their history and culture, which was a slight disappointment. Although the climb was tiring, all the hard work was worth it the moment I reached the Jade Emperor Peak.

It is worth visiting. The place is huge but I find the number of visitors huge. It's kinda hard to see the grottoes up cup close. There are other things to see aside from the grottoes like the temple (forgot the name though), river viewing and of course you can also ride the boats with extra charge. Thus, the amount you pay is actually worth it.
