2025 Xintai Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Do you still remember the prose writer Zhu Ziqing's "Spring"??? Let's review our childhood memories together: Longing for, longing for, the east wind comes, spring's footsteps are near. Everything looks like it has just woken up. Joyfully opening their eyes. The mountains become clear and bright, the water rises, and the sun's face turns red. The grass secretly emerges from the soil, tender and green. In the gardens, in the fields, look, it's full of vast stretches. Sitting, lying down, rolling around, kicking a ball, racing, playing hide-and-seek. The wind is gentle, the grass is soft. Peach trees, apricot trees, pear trees, you don't let me, I don't let you, all are in full bloom, vying with each other. Red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow. The flowers carry a sweet scent; closing my eyes, the trees seem to be full of peaches, apricots, and pears. Thousands of bees buzz under the flowers, and butterflies of all sizes flutter around. Wildflowers are everywhere: various kinds, with names and without names, scattered in the grass, like eyes, like stars, blinking... 🎈Today, I set foot on Jianzi Mountain, and this scenic spot truly has a unique charm. Spring has come, let's take a walk, the mountain breeze caresses our faces, bringing the fragrance of grass and trees🌱. Walking along the winding path, surrounded by lush greenery, the birdsong is crisp and clear, as if we are in a paradise. Climbing to the top of the mountain, looking far into the distance, the magnificent scenery is breathtaking. Jianzi Mountain, it's worth the trip💕! Watching the children playing in the stream, childhood memories instantly flood my mind. Who wouldn't love such a wonderful season!!!

Xinpu Mountain is a tourist destination that combines natural scenery, cultural heritage, and leisure entertainment. It is located at the north end of Laihe Road in Xintai City, Tai'an, Shandong, at the junction with Lianhua Road. The opening hours are from 8:00 to 17:00, and the ticket price for the scenic area is 50 yuan. For a visit to Xinpu Mountain, you can refer to the following route: 1. Enter through the main gate and first touch the 300-year-old chestnut tree to pray for blessings for yourself and your family. 2. On the right-hand side, you can immerse yourself in jungle off-roading to experience speed and passion. 3. Walk up the mountain road to Guanyin Temple and Guanyin Pavilion.

After visiting Shandong, most people will think of Mount Tai first, but there are many other famous mountains and rivers worth appreciating on this land. For example, the Xinfu Mountain Scenic Area I discovered in Xintai City is a 'feng shui treasure land' that stretches 15 kilometers east to west and spans both Xintai and Jinan cities, with more than a dozen mountain ranges. Xinfu Mountain is divided into three touring routes: east, middle, and west. The eastern route, the ancient winding path, retains a large number of mountaineering relics dating back to ancient times, and is full of historical sites. The middle route, the Tongtian River Valley Exploration, which is the route I took this time, features Buddhist architecture such as Guanyin Temple, Guanyin Pavilion, and Yungu Temple, as well as many beautiful mountain streams, pools, and ancient cypresses. The western route, the Tiancheng Guanyin Pilgrimage, mainly includes the Buddha Stone Beach and the Natural Guanyin, which is the Guanyin stone statue in the second picture. It is currently the 'only naturally formed seated Guanyin stone statue in the world.' It is said to be very efficacious for worshippers, and the Guanyin stone statue is also a high point for viewing, offering a panoramic view of the mountain scenery. Visitors can also take the cable car directly up the mountain, saving a lot of energy. The park has a strong cultural atmosphere, with historical sites such as the Han Emperor's palace during the Mount Tai enfeoffment ceremony, the huge Guanyin Hall, and the ancient Hanwu Stele Pavilion. Take your time to appreciate the murals, inscriptions, and stone carvings inside the hall, which all contain a lot of history from the land of Qi and Lu. Moreover, the Buddha statues in the temple are lifelike, and the architectural design is exquisite, making them treasures not to be missed. 📍Detailed address: Quangou Town, Xintai City, Shandong Province 🚗Transportation strategy: There are direct buses from within Xintai City, which is very convenient 🕙Opening hours: 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM 💰Ticket price: 59 yuan for online booking 🌟Highlights: The 'only naturally formed seated Guanyin stone statue in the world,' the historical site of the Han Emperor's palace, stunning natural scenery, and the impressive Guanyin Temple 📌Little Tips: You can take the cable car up the mountain and then walk down from the top of the mountain to the other side.

After searching online for a day trip destination during the Spring Festival, I found a group of Huizhou-style buildings. Chaiwen River Cultural City is named after the Chaiwen River, which is a branch of the Wen River. Inside the cultural city, there are museums, art galleries, the top scholar's mansion, and more. Next door, there's a flower, bird, and fish market, as well as a cultural playthings market to explore, and you can even take photos in ancient costumes inside the cultural city. A place of utter devotion, where dreams of Huizhou come true. The layered beauty of the horse-head walls can also be experienced here. Although it's small, the scenery is pleasant and free of charge, making it worth a visit. The flower, bird, and cultural playthings market is also quite busy, and you might find something you like. 📍Location: No. 19 Wenhe Road, Xintai City, Tai'an, Shandong Province 💰Average cost: Free admission 📝Travel Tips: Tour counterclockwise Start with the Huizhou-style garden - flower, bird, and cultural playthings market - circle around the back yard and then look at the western buildings There's only one restroom in the entire cultural city, located inside the cultural playthings market ⏰Duration: 1-2 hours. The whole garden is quite small, and the museum was not open during the Spring Festival, so the visit is quite quick, and it feels like taking photos is what takes up time. Including the adjacent flower and bird market, I browsed for a little over an hour. 🚘Transportation: Self-driving is recommended, parking is available.
