It is bordered to the north by Daming Lake, to the south by Xigengdao, to the east by the north gate of the Prince De's Mansion, and to the west by the Confucian Temple of Jinan Prefecture. The spring water from Pearl Spring and Wangfu Pool merges into a river, adjacent to Qushuiting Street. On one side are old houses with broken green bricks and tiles, and on the other side are clear springs swaying with green algae. People living near the spring wash their clothes and rice here. The Qushuiting Street still retains the complete spring city style of "every household has a spring water, and every household hangs a poplar tree" from "Lao Can's Travels". Qushuiting Street, when called out, sounds catchy and full of cultural charm.

Walking along Houzaimen Street into the alleyway, there are many cafes, tea houses, snacks, and more on both sides. When you reach Qushuiting Street, it suddenly opens up.

Dai Temple is located at the south foot of Mount Taishan Mountain and in Tai'an City. It was built in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is the place where ancient emperors worshipped Mount Taishan God and held sacrificial ceremonies. It is also a famous Taoist place. The architectural complex of Dai Temple is grand in scale, and is called the four ancient architectural complexes in China, together with the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Three Arches in Qufu, Shandong, and Chengde Mountain Resort. Nowadays, the towering palace gates are well preserved here, and you can enjoy the huge murals of the Song Dynasty and numerous ancient stone inscriptions.

We enter the Dai Temple for free from the north gate, and the first thing we see are the back bedroom palace, middle bedroom palace, stone tablet, and stone boat. There are many old photos on the wall, which are the appearance of Mount Taishan Mountain since the 1930s. The yard is covered with pine and cypress trees, and the air is fresh, making people feel relaxed. Climb on the city tower at the south gate, and go out of the south gate to photograph the gate of the Dai Temple and the memorial archway.

The Copper Pavilion is a historical site of the Ming Dynasty, which was moved from other places in Tai'an to this location. The copper pavilion, also known as the "Golden Palace", was earlier placed in the Bixia Temple on the top of Mount Taishan Mountain. The pavilion was assembled by skilled ancient craftsmen in the form of a wood like structure, which can be said to be a masterpiece.

The Tianqi Temple is the core building of the Dai Temple. It is the shrine of the Dongyue Emperor, in which Mount Taishan God (the Dongyue Emperor) is worshipped. On the north, east and west walls of the hall, there is a huge mural of the Song Dynasty, "Mount Taishan God Awakens and Comes Back", which depicts the magnificent scene of Mount Taishan God's patrolling. The people and horses in the painting are diverse and vivid, and there is only one painting of this subject in China. To enter the Tiankong Hall, you need to buy shoe covers at the entrance first, and the murals cannot be photographed.

The trees in Dai Temple are lush and towering, creating a beautiful environment. Among them, there are some precious ancient trees, especially the "Hanbai" and "Tanghuai" that have weathered thousands of years of wind and rain, and are one of the famous ancient trees in Daimiao. There are five ancient cypress trees in the Hanbai courtyard, which are said to have been planted by Emperor Wu of Han during his eastern enfeoffment. Although their skin has peeled off and their hearts are withered, new branches continue to grow.

There are now over 300 stone carvings of steles from various dynasties in the Dai Temple, hence it is known as the "Dai Temple Stele Forest" and a famous place for appreciating calligraphy. Upon seeing the early surviving stone carving in China - the Qin Dynasty Li Si Xiaozhuan Stele, the stone was inscribed in Xiaozhuan font by Prime Minister Li Si under the decree of Emperor Hu Hai of Qin. It has a history of over 2200 years and is a precious treasure. In addition, there are also representative works of the Han Dynasty clerical script style, such as the "Zhangqian Stele" and the "Hengfang Stele", as well as precious historical sites such as the "Madame Sun" Stele, one of the three major monuments of the Jin Dynasty, and the unique Tang Dynasty "Double Bundle Stele".

The entire Dai Temple was built according to the ancient imperial palace style, with tall city walls and magnificent halls that showcase the grandeur of ancient temples. Entering the Dai Temple from south to north, you can pass through the main buildings such as Yaoshen Pavilion, Dai Temple Square, Zhengyang Gate, Peitian Gate, and Ren'an Gate, and then reach the Tiangong Hall. The tall Zhengyang Gate is the main entrance to the Dai Temple, and in ancient times only emperors could enter through this gate.

Qufu is the hometown of Confucius, and the Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, and Confucius Forest in Qufu have been sacred sites for commemorating Confucius throughout history in China, collectively known as the "Three Confucius". Confucius opened an altar here to teach and pioneered Confucian culture during his lifetime, and his descendants also lived and thrived here, inheriting Confucius' cultural ideas. In 1994, the "three holes" were listed in the The World Heritage List by the United Nations.

The Confucian Temple and Confucian Mansion in Qufu's "Three Confucius" are located in the city center, while Konglin is located in the north of the city. The Confucian Temple is one of the largest temples in China dedicated to the worship of Confucius. It was rebuilt on the former residence of Confucius and can be regarded as the ancestor of Confucian temples worldwide; The Kong Mansion was once the residence of Confucius' direct lineage for hundreds of years, and its scale is second only to the Forbidden City in China; Konglin is the tomb of Confucius and his family descendants.

Unexpectedly, upon entering, I discovered that this was the gate of a small town, several hundred meters away from the Confucian Temple.

We went in from the memorial archway to visit the Confucius Temple.

The area here is very large, and the temples on each floor are very spectacular.

We walked all the way, passing through many gatehouses, and even looked at the imperial steles left by emperors of all dynasties.

On the 24th day, in Yangzhou, He Yuan.

I woke up at 7 o'clock in the morning and didn't book a hotel breakfast. I went specifically to the famous Fuchun Tea House to have breakfast in Yangzhou.

8: I went out with an umbrella and paid 14.00 yuan to the old Fuchun Tea House on Guoqing Road and Desheng Bridge.

There are many diners in the hall, and there are two halls downstairs that are fully booked for individual guests. We only found two seats upstairs and shared tables with four people. Ordering: Two cups of Kuilongzhu tea, one serving of Xiangyou eel paste, one serving of Fuchun pork belly, one large bowl of boiled dried crab roe, two crab roe soup dumplings, and two high-quality five Ding baozi, totaling 264 yuan.

Purchase a 50% discount ticket for two people and enter for 44 yuan.

He Zhizhen, the owner of He Garden, was a Yangzhou gentry who married Li Hongzhang, a prominent minister of the late Qing Dynasty, and Sun Jianai, a teacher of Emperor Guangxu. He built this private garden in the ninth year of Guangxu (1883 AD). Heyuan is known as the "first garden of the late Qing Dynasty", with a combination of Chinese and Western architecture and a multi-layered layout connected by multiple corridors.

The backyard is divided into two parts in terms of layout: east and west. In the east, a group of courtyards is formed with the "hall" as the center, among which the "boat hall" is shaped like a boat, surrounded by cobblestones and tiles, with a pattern of water waves, giving people the feeling of living in water.

In the west of the garden, there is a pool in the middle, in which there is a Water Heart Pavilion. It is the place where the owners of the garden watch theatrical performances, and the design of the "Water Play Pavilion" is ingenious.

The corridor winds and connects two buildings.

The various parts are connected to each other through a complex corridor (commonly known as "Chuanlou" by Yangzhou people, which is a corridor divided into upper and lower floors). This is a distinctive part of He Yuan's architecture, where visitors pass through the corridors to avoid rain on rainy days and shade from the sun on sunny days, unaffected by the weather. And a series of leaky windows and empty windows on the winding corridors, forming a floral window belt, is also a major feature of the park.

There is an exhibition room on the second floor, which is illustrated with pictures and text, introducing the history of the He family's development. There are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences among later generations.

The young and old people in the garden live in the Jade Embroidery Building in the south, which is a building that combines Chinese and Western styles. It not only adopts traditional Chinese brick and wood structure, but also extensively uses French louvered doors and windows, Japanese style sliding doors, French fireplaces, wrought iron beds, etc.

At present, Heyuan is still a natural base for filming in domestic film and television dramas, with nearly a hundred film and television dramas such as the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" and the sequel to "Huan Zhu Ge" filmed here.
