Shandong Museum is located in the eastern part of Jinan City. It is the earliest provincial-level comprehensive topographical museum established in China. It has so far collected more than 140,000 cultural relics and nearly 10,000 natural specimens. The display categories are very rich. Ancient cultural relics unearthed or collected in Shandong are features of the collection here.


At Shanbo, a large number of ancient ceramics, bronzes, ancient books of calligraphy and painting, oracle bones, Han stone reliefs and other cultural relics are displayed. Among them, the red pottery animal-shaped pot unearthed from the Dawenkou site, the oracle bone inscriptions from the Shang Dynasty, the jade Bi of the Lu State from the Warring States Period, the bamboo slips of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Sun Bin's Art of War", and the murals of the Han tomb in Dongping are all treasures of the town museum. They are very rare, and only some are displayed occasionally.

Entering the first floor, I first visited the "Buddhist Statue Art Exhibition" in the first exhibition room. The Buddha statues inside had a kind face, beautiful shape, and very touching shape. Then I visited the Han Dynasty Portrait Art Exhibition, which also gave me a lot of inspiration.

Then he went up to the second floor to visit Shandong's history and culture, which were the prehistoric part, the Xia, Shang and Zhou parts, and the Qin, Han, Ming and Qing parts.


I visited the exhibition of fine cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of Zhu Tan in the Ming Dynasty, the treasure of the King of Lu.



I took a taxi at 15:30 and returned to the hotel for 14.05 yuan.

In the evening, in the "Farming Story" next door, I ate braised yellow bone fish and celery stir-fried fragrant dried for 92 yuan.


On the 18th day, Jinan, Qushuiting Street, Furong Street, Kuananli.

In the morning, I took the K54 bus one stop to the outside of Qushuiting Street. Qushuiting Street is an old street with historical and cultural characteristics that is famous at home and abroad in Jinan, Quancheng. It borders Daming Lake in the north, Xigeng Road in the south, the north gate of Wangde Palace in the east, and the Jinan Fuxuewen Temple in the west. Spring water from Pearl Spring and Wangfu Pond forms a river and is interdependent with Qushuiting Street. On one side is an old house with blue bricks and broken tiles, and on the other side is a clear spring with green algae. People in Linquan wash rice and wash clothes here. The current Qushuiting Street still completely retains the spring city style of "Every family springs, every household hangs poplar trees" in "Lao Can's Travels". Qushuiting Street is catchy, sounds pleasant to the ears, and is full of cultural charm.

Walking along Houzaimen Street into the alley, there are many cafes, cafes, snacks, etc. on both sides. When you arrive at Qushuiting Street, you will suddenly become enlightened. Turn from the Christian Church and enter. There is a clear stream in the middle. Under the water, there is a long green water grass.

Walking along the canal, there are many specialty shops.


Take a tricycle to Furong Street for 20.00 yuan. This is a famous snack street. In addition to Shandong cuisine "Huixian Lou", there are snacks from all over the country, including pancakes and fruits, stinky tofu, fat intestines, drinks, etc. We bought two bottles of coconut juice for 15 yuan, a pineapple rice for 15 yuan, 6 oil swirls for 15 yuan, 4 fruits for 10 yuan, and a pancake rolled with green onions for 10 yuan.

Walking 300 meters from Furong Lane, passing through the People's Congress of Shandong Province, you will return to the hotel.

In the evening, walk to Kuanli, the famous food street.

When you come out of the hotel, you can cross the road and walk across from Shimao Square. It is not far. There are flashing lights inside, and there are many shops. The scale and level are higher than Furong Street. There are many old archways, stages, sculptures and various restaurants in Shandong style.

Sit down in the "Old Jinan Courtyard" and order pork ribs stewed with corn and kidney beans, jellyfish skin mixed with cabbage heart, and Wuchang rice. Checkout is 91.96 yuan.




On the 19th day, Jinan-Tai 'an, Dai Temple.

In the morning, check out at 9:30, add 45 liters of fuel, and pay 345 yuan after the discount, which is equivalent to 7.60 yuan per liter.

At 10:03, I left the gas station and drove towards the Ring Elevated Road. There were large trailers on the road and vehicles jammed on the way. The road conditions were not good. At 10:30, you enter the expressway through Jinan Xinglong Toll Station. The road is spacious and the traffic is small. At 11:06, you pass through Tai 'an Toll Station and pay 52.25 yuan. It takes 19 minutes to arrive at the North Parking Lot of Dai Temple.

Dai Temple is located at the southern foot of Mount Tai and in Tai 'an City. It was built in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It was a place where ancient emperors worshipped the God of Mount Tai and held sacrificial ceremonies. It is also a famous Taoist place. The building complex of Dai Temple is large-scale, and is also known as the Four Ancient Building Complex in China, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Sankong River in Qufu, Shandong, and the Chengde Summer Resort. Today, the towering palaces are well preserved here, and you can admire the huge murals of the Song Dynasty and many ancient steles.

We entered Dai Temple for free from the north gate. The first thing we saw was the back bedroom, the middle bedroom, the stone tablet, and the stone boat. There are many old photos on the walls, showing the appearance of Mount Tai since the 1930s. The yard is covered with pine and cypress, and the air is fresh and makes people feel comfortable. Climb the tower at the south gate and walk out of the south gate to take pictures of the Dai Temple gate and archway.


The copper pavilion is a monument in the Ming Dynasty and was moved here from other places in Tai 'an. The copper pavilion, also known as the "Golden Que", was earlier placed in the Bixia Temple on the top of Mount Tai. Highly skilled ancient craftsmen assembled the pavilion in the form of an imitation wood structure, which can be said to be extraordinary.


Tiankuang Hall is the core building of Dai Temple. It is the shrine of Emperor Dongyue. The god Mount Tai (namely Emperor Dongyue) is enshrined in the hall. On the north, east and west walls of the hall, there is a huge mural of the Song Dynasty "The Painting of the God of Mount Tai", which depicts the majestic scene of the God of Mount Tai on his patrol. The painting is in a variety of shapes and vivid and realistic. The painting on this theme is the only one in the country. To enter the Tiankuang Hall, you need to buy shoe covers at the door first, and photos of murals cannot be taken.

Dai Temple has green trees and towering trees, and the environment is very beautiful. Among them, there are some precious ancient trees, especially the "Han cypress" and "Tang locust", which have experienced thousands of years of ups and downs, which are one of the famous ancient trees in Dai Temple. There are five ancient cypresses in the Han Cypress Garden. It is said that they were planted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he was granted the east. Although their skin has been peeled off and their heart has withered, new branches have continued to grow.

Dai Temple now houses more than 300 stone steles from past dynasties, so it is known as the "Dai Temple Stele Forest" and is a famous place to appreciate calligraphy. I saw the early existing stone carving in China-the small seal tablet of Li Si of the Qin Dynasty. At this moment, the stone was made by the imperial edict issued by Hu Hai, the Second King of the Qin Dynasty, and was carved by Prime Minister Li Si in small seal characters. It has a history of more than 2200 years and is a precious treasure. In addition, there are also precious historic sites such as the "Zhang Qian Stele" and "Hengfang Stele", which are representative works of the Han Dynasty's official script style, the "Madam Sun" Monument, one of the three major monuments of the Jin Dynasty, and the unique Tang Dynasty's "Shuangshu Monument".



The entire Dai Temple is built in accordance with the shape of the palace city of ancient emperors. The tall battlements and magnificent temples reflect the style of the ancient temple everywhere. Entering Dai Temple from south to north, you can pass through main buildings such as Yaoshen Pavilion, Dai Temple Square, Zhengyang Gate, Pei Tianmen Gate, Ren 'anmen Gate, and then reach Tiankuang Hall. Among them, the tall Zhengyang Gate is the main entrance to Dai Temple. In ancient times, only emperors could enter from this gate.


Return to the North Gate to the parking lot and pay 17.50 yuan. Drive 3 kilometers to stay at the "Five-Star Holiday Hotel" you booked in Ctrip.

The twentieth day, Tai 'an, Tai' an.

Today, climb Mount Tai, the Eastern Mountain.

The hotel's breakfast is really simple. It's just a bowl of wontons, an egg, and it costs 20 yuan.

In the morning, check out at 8:20 and the car parked at the hotel entrance. We took a taxi for 12.76 yuan to Tianwai Village parking lot. Walk hundreds of meters to the visitor center, climb the high steps and scan the code in, and then go down the long steps to buy tickets. The elderly are free of charge, but two people have to buy a ticket of 34 yuan. At 9:20, take the scenic CMB up the mountain and circle to Zhongtianmen Parking Lot.

After getting off the bus at Zhongtianmen, continue to travel for about 300 meters to buy a lift ticket. The elderly enjoy a 50% discount, totaling 100 yuan per person.

The two of us sat in a cage and crossed the mountains and canyons to reach the Nantian Gate.

Nantianmen is located in the middle of the mountain, and the hiking and walking path is temporarily closed.


Walking to Tianjie Square and starting to walk, I thought it was not far, but in fact it was still far away, and there were many steps to walk.

Tianjie archway, blue sky and white clouds.

There is a stone pavilion at the corner. From there, you can see the towering mountains at the foot of the mountain and see the Tai 'an Urban area from afar.


We walked hundreds of steps with walking sticks to the Bixia Temple, where there were strong fireworks and many people were kneeling, donating money, and burning incense.




Continuing the mountain climbing, we will reach the Tang Dynasty cliff stone carvings. The most famous one is the "Ji Taishan Inscription" written by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and there are also writings left by many famous people.

We continued to walk forward to the Qingdi Palace and climbed a very high step.

Further up are the meteorological observatory, Gongbei Stone and Yuhuangding.



When going down the mountain, I walked from the "Confucius Temple" to Tianjie, and I had to go down dozens of steps to get to the bathroom. I was really exhausted.

Afterwards, take the cable car for 100 yuan and the Chinese bus for 34 yuan to the foot of the mountain. After coming out, take a taxi to the hotel for 6.46 yuan.

Depart from the hotel to Qufu at 16:24. Pass the Tai 'an South Toll Station in 23 minutes and maintain a speed of 103 kilometers per hour on the highway. At 17:32, crossing the Qufu Toll Station is 33.12 yuan.

Arrive at the "George Morandi Hotel" I booked through Ctrip in 9 minutes. The room rate is 265 yuan per day. Italian style. The journey is 81 kilometers.

In the evening, I walked hundreds of meters to the "Qufu Taste" in the tourist square and ate spicy carp and fried wheat vegetables for 66 yuan.



On the twenty-first day, Qufu, Confucius Temple and Confucius Forest.

In the morning, I had a hearty breakfast at the hotel, which included coffee, milk, yogurt, salt-baked chicken eggs, cooked meat and various vegetables and fruits.

Check-out at 9:00 a.m. and drive 700 meters to the Sankong Scenic Area parking lot.

Qufu is the hometown of Confucius. The Confucian Temple, Confucian Mansion, and Confucian Forest in Qufu are sacred places to commemorate Confucius in our country in the past, collectively referred to as "Sankong". During his lifetime, Confucius opened an altar to teach here and pioneered Confucian culture. His descendants also lived and multiplied here, inheriting Confucius 'cultural thoughts. In 1994,"Three Holes" was included in the World Heritage List by the United Nations.

The Confucian Temple and Confucian Mansion in Qufu's "Three Holes" are located in the city center, while the Confucian Forest is located in the north of the city. The Confucian Temple is the largest temple in China that worships Confucius. It was rebuilt on the former residence of Confucius and can be said to be the ancestor of Confucian temples around the world. The Confucian Mansion was once the long-term residence of Confucius's descendants for hundreds of years, and its scale is second only to the Forbidden City in China; the Confucian Forest is the cemetery of Confucius and his family descendants.

Unexpectedly, when I walked in, I realized that this was a small city gate, hundreds of meters away from the Confucian Temple.

We entered through the archway and visited the Confucian Temple.

It covers a large area, and the temples are very spectacular.

Along the way, we passed many gate buildings and saw the imperial steles left by successive emperors.

Xingtan is the place where Confucius gave lectures.

It is said that Confucius planted it himself.

When Confucius 'descendants were repairing houses, they found many ancient books on the mezzanine walls. This wall was named Lu Bi.

When you exit the middle gate of the Confucian Temple, you will find the Confucian Mansion more than 100 meters left. The Confucius Mansion is the place where the Confucius family lives. It is not large in area and the houses are simple, with houses and back gardens behind it.

We walked around and came out. We took a tricycle for 6 yuan outside the Confucian Mansion and arrived at the parking lot.

In the afternoon, depart at 13:30 for the ancient city of Taierzhuang. At 13:50, pass the Qufu Toll Station and get on the expressway, and turn to the Beijing-Taiwan Expressway 6 minutes later. 15:36 Pass the Yicheng South Toll Station. Then take the ordinary highway for 15 kilometers to arrive at the "Yuehewan Boutique Hotel". The room rate is 297 yuan per day, including breakfast. The journey is 176 kilometers.


I had dinner at Chengnan Past Things Restaurant and tasted pot mutton, cucumber mixed with jellyfish skin and vegetable pancakes for 98 yuan.



On the 22nd day, the ancient city of Taierzhuang.

In the morning, I went to the second floor and had a buffet breakfast. Although it was only 15 yuan, there were still many varieties.

In the morning, go out at 9:00 and walk nearly 500 meters to the west gate of Taierzhuang Ancient City. Tickets are free, and then scan the code and swipe your ID card to enter.

The Taierzhuang War that took place in 1938 turned the ancient city into ruins. The ancient city we see now is what it looks like after comprehensive reconstruction. Many scenic spots were rebuilt on the original site.

Once you enter the city gate, you will see the General's Office on your right.

In front of Tianhou Palace, there was a performance under Qianlong's visit to Jiangnan.


Boat-shaped Chinese Canal Museum.

Walk along the river and pass by Pingsheng Archway.

Walking down the river, I visited the ancient brothel "Lan Ting Shuyu". On the first floor is the counter where the brothel displays the first sign.

On the second floor, there is a three-inch Golden Lotus Museum, books, cosmetics, belly bands, etc. for brothel women, as well as a large bed with a red mosquito net and a bathing space.

Backyard.


Hu's courtyard and dock.


Architecture that combines Chinese and Western.

Zhonghetang went in and saw the war photos taken by American photographers in 1938 and the Taierzhuang War photos. Keep moving forward and you will reach Taierzhuang War Ruins Park. There are many bullet holes in the wall next to it, and a hut displays excavated battle relics and introduces battle stories,

Among them are the shape, photos and related reports of Liu Shouwen, a girl from Hanshou in Hunan Province who died in 1938.

At noon, I had lunch at "Morning Flowers and Evening Picking": the local specialty Fengjia donkey meat, a bottle of Tsingtao beer, and a large bowl of spicy tofu. When I paid the bill, I showed the Yuehewan Hotel room card. Because I belonged to the same company, the discount was 15 yuan. The actual payment was 102 yuan.


After lunch, braving the sun, I continued walking south along the river. After passing the Luojia Wharf, I visited the Jinpingmei Cultural Exhibition Hall. In fact, this exhibition hall is the private residence of a bureaucrat Jia Jingsan. There are not many exhibits, only some ceramic figures and some books of various versions of Jinpingmei.


I visited Guandi Temple.

Xie family escort agency. Xie Yutian, the owner of the Escort Agency, had his ancestors migrated from Hongdong County, Shanxi Province.

We really couldn't walk any longer and were sweating all over. We just happened to get a tourist battery cart, so we took the bus back to Ximen for 20 yuan per person.

Come out from the west gate and return to the hotel.


On the 23rd day, Taierzhuang-Yangzhou. The journey is 340 kilometers.

Breakfast is buffet breakfast.

Leaving Shandong and entering Jiangsu today.

Depart at 10:15 a.m. and enter the Jiangsu border after leaving the hotel 5 minutes. Provincial Highway 2513, which belongs to Xuzhou City, traveled nearly 80 kilometers. Enter the Yanghe Service Area in Suqian at 12:38 noon and refuel 282 yuan in the service area, 8.1 yuan per liter. It starts at 12:55 and enters the Huaian border G1516 Expressway at 13:26.

Arrive at Yangzhou's Zijin Hotel, which I booked in Ctrip at 16:55.

In the evening, we found the Hunan restaurant "Li Zongshao". We ordered stir-fried beef with chili and stir-fried green beans with chili. The bill was 85 yuan with Qingdao pure draft beer.


The twenty-fourth day, Yangzhou, He Yuan.

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

At 8:30, I went out with an umbrella and took a taxi of 14.00 yuan to the old store of Fuchun Tea House on Desheng Bridge on Guoqing Road.

There were many diners in the lobby. There were two halls downstairs for all of them. We went upstairs and found two seats to share tables with four people. A la carte: two cups of Kuizhuanzhu tea, one serving of fried eel paste, one serving of rich spring meat, a large bowl of boiled shredded crab roe, two crab roe soup dumplings, two high-quality Wuding steamed buns, a total of 264 yuan.

After coming out of the tea house, walk through the alley where teapot scissors are sold, navigate through Guangling Road, turn to Xuningmen Street, and come to the door of "He Garden", the first garden in the late Qing Dynasty. Buy a 50% discount ticket for two for 44 yuan.

He Zhiyu, the owner of Heyuan Garden, was a Yangzhou gentry who married Li Hongzhang, an important minister in the late Qing Dynasty, and Sun Jianai, the teacher of Emperor Guangxu. He built this private garden in the ninth year of Guangxu (1883 AD). He Garden has the reputation of "the first garden in the late Qing Dynasty". The buildings in the garden combine Chinese and Western, and are connected by complex corridors. The layout is full of layers.

The back garden is divided into two parts: east and west. In the east, a group of courtyards are formed with the "hall" as the center. The "boat hall" is shaped like a boat. The floor is paved with pebbles and tiles. The pattern is wave-shaped, giving people the feeling of living in the water.


In the west of the garden, there is a pool in the middle. There is a water center pavilion built in the pool. It is the place for the owner of the park to watch the drama performances. The design of the "Water Theater Pavilion" is unique.

The winding corridor connects the two buildings.


The various parts are connected into one by a complex corridor (commonly known as "Chuanlou" by Yangzhou people, which is a corridor divided into two floors: upper and lower). This is a distinctive part of the He Garden building. People in the garden walk through the garden through corridors, shelter from rain on rainy days and shade from sun on sunny days, and are not affected by the weather. The flowered window belt formed by a series of leaking windows and empty windows opened on the complex corridor is also a major feature of the park.


There is an exhibition room on the second floor, with pictures and texts, introducing the history of the He family's development. Among the descendants are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.


The owners of the park, old and young, live in the Yuxiu Building in the south, which is a building that combines Chinese and Western styles. It not only adopts traditional Chinese brick-and-wood structures, but also uses a large number of French shutters, Japanese sliding doors, French fireplaces, wrought iron beds, etc.

At present, He Yuan is also a natural base for filming domestic film and television dramas. Nearly 100 film and television dramas such as the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" and the sequel to "Princess Huanzhu" are filmed here.

Miss's bedroom.

Stone mountain houses.

I came out at two o'clock in the afternoon and took a taxi of 8.81 yuan to return to the hotel.


On the twenty-fifth day, he returned to Shanghai from Yangzhou.

I ended my trip today and returned to Shanghai from Yangzhou. The journey is 275 kilometers.

Depart at 7:55 in the morning, drive onto the S39 Expressway through the Yangzhou Development Zone Toll Station, and drive towards the Wufengshan Bridge at 8:50 and enter the Changzhou border. It began to rain in the sky.

Enter Wuxi Jiangyin boundary at 9:11 and arrive at Fangmao Mountain Service Area at 9:18, which is the Dinosaur Theme Park service area.

We set off at 10:17 and turned to the G25 Beijing-Shanghai Expressway. At 11:07, we entered the Suzhou boundary. After 22 minutes, we finally entered the long-awaited Yangcheng Lake service area. It is indeed worthy of its reputation. In the north district, we dreamed of Jiangnan Water Town, with white walls, black roofs, and huge ceramic bottles shaped and lotus ponds. After entering, the sky in the hall is like a Venetian, with blue skies and white clouds, shiny flower shapes in the pool, and in front of the new energy vehicle promotion hall is the head of a fairy.


We didn't leave until 12:44, and the traffic volume was heavy and the speed was not fast. At 13:38, he entered the city through Jiangqiao Toll Station and returned home in Shanghai smoothly.
