Things to do in Zaozhuang

The hotel has a great location, very close to the South Gate; it's just a few minutes' walk if you have luggage. The receptionist, Xiao Zhao, was very welcoming and professional. Before we arrived, she added us on WeChat to give us directions. Once inside the ancient city, she provided accurate information on the times and locations of various performances. She also gave us a detailed hand-drawn map, explained things, and marked the spots, along with WeChat reminders, so we never missed a show.

Only the film and television city charges, but it is free for people over 60 years old. Other places don't charge as long as you bring your ID card. Parking is convenient. It is recommended to take a day to go, otherwise it is a bit too rushed.

This was my first time visiting the island, and I was impressed by the professionalism and excellent attitude of the staff who operated the ferry, tour bus, and lake boats. Shandong is truly hospitable!

Great value, beyond expectations. I didn't expect that such a professional lantern festival could be held in this rural area. It is highly recommended. Parking is convenient. There is parking at the gate. I wanted to rent a wheelchair, but they said that the wheelchair was rented out and the remaining two could not be used.

It takes about ten minutes to walk from Taierzhuang Ancient City, which is very convenient. The Battle of Taierzhuang is worth remembering! Photography is not allowed in the memorial hall, so here are some photos of the ancient city😊

巢云竹林景区：以巢云观为中心，周围有众多的竹林和清泉，景色清幽。巢云观历史悠久，是道教文化的重要场所。桃源仙境景区：半山处有桃源洞、水帘洞等数十个山洞，周围树木葱茏，宛如仙境。君山望海景区：抱犊崮主峰海拔584米，在此可远眺群山连绵，若天气晴朗，还能看到微山湖的湖光山色，“君山望海”为古峄县八景之冠。 凤落古崖景区：有独特的崖壁景观和丰富的植被，传说曾有凤凰在此栖息，增添了神秘色彩。

It's a pity that we didn't see the Big and Small Rift Valleys. The mountain road was too steep, and the weather was too hot. We turned back less than 1/4 of the way. I recommend buying hiking sticks. There are charging stations in the parking lot below, which is very friendly to friends who drive trams. But if possible, you should still find a way to drive the car into the ticket gate so that you can walk less.

When we went, it was the hottest time of the day. There were many steps leading up to the top, but a small stream allowed children to play. The biggest problem was the sheer number of mosquitoes; everyone was bitten and frustrated! If you're bringing children, you absolutely must bring mosquito repellent spray. It's also sold at the mountaintop rest area for 10 yuan a bottle.

I wanted to take photos of every collection in the Tengzhou Museum and share them with you. This trip to Tengzhou was really worthwhile. I got to know the profound history and culture of Tengzhou and it made up for the gaps in history learning when I was in school!
