Things to do in Dong'e

Kaifeng Prefecture felt like a completely artificial tourist attraction. All the replica ancient buildings were too new, and the exhibits inside were too outdated, especially the clothing in the glass cases of the tallest building – the dust was so thick, and there weren't any bright lights; elderly people were practically feeling their way around inside. The shows weren't particularly interesting either. I much preferred the interactive experience with the NPCs at Qingming Riverside Park. I guess I'll only be interested in that place when I'm older!

Just finished visiting the Confucius Temple. The ancient architecture and environment are truly impeccable; the red walls and yellow tiles make for stunning photos from every angle, and the atmosphere is fantastic. However, to be honest, its fun factor and value for money are only average, so four stars is a fair assessment. Overall, it's more suitable for taking photos and relaxing. If you're looking for something special or are looking for the absolute best value, you might want to reconsider.

Thousand Buddha Mountain in Jinan, formerly known as Lishan, is one of the three major scenic spots in the city. Legend has it that Emperor Shun once farmed here, hence its other name, Shungeng Mountain (Shun Farming Mountain). Numerous Buddhist statues were carved into the cliffs during the Sui Dynasty, giving the mountain its name. Climbing the steps, one is surrounded by lush forests. Halfway up the mountain, the red walls of Xingguo Temple are hidden among verdant cypress trees. The evening drum and morning bell evoke a profound sense of Zen. The Thousand Buddha Cliff preserves precious Sui Dynasty sculptures. Nearby, the Lishan Temple houses the Shun Shrine, continuing the ancient Shun farming tradition. Reaching the summit, one can overlook the entire city of Jinan, with its continuous buildings and distant mountains appearing like dark eyebrows. Spring brings blooming flowers, and autumn paints the forests with vibrant colors. Though not high, the mountain holds a thousand years of Buddhist charm and cultural stories, making it a must-visit destination for Jinan locals seeking relaxation and for tourists to appreciate the city's history.

Going up is less tiring, but coming down is thrilling. Many people chose to go down, but there's a queue for going down, not up. I think going up is fine; it was a great experience.

Visiting a real tomb-turned-tomb site for the first time, I was truly awestruck by the wisdom of the Han Dynasty people. The anti-theft notice written by Liu Zhu, "There's no silver buried here," was also quite interesting and a novel experience. Outside, there's a beautiful garden, many interesting stone carvings, and plaques treasured in the Imperial Edict Museum—it was quite impressive.

Immerse yourself in the history of ancient imperial tombs and learn about ancient engineering technology.

Unexpectedly, it was a special session with Teacher Lu. The coordination was very smooth, with a dedicated assistant team. The team members were all dressed formally. Teacher Lu's explanation was witty, humorous, vivid, and captivating. The route was planned according to the historical timeline, and the headset was very clear. Although there were many people, we still managed to see all ten of the museum's most treasured exhibits.

Baoquan Cliff World and Grand Canyon are perfect for a family trip! The Taihang Mountain cliffs are magnificent, the Grand Canyon streams are crystal clear, the Jianlong Waterfall is spectacular, and most of the trails are gentle, making them easy for seniors to walk. The Cliff World viewing platform offers a wide view and is great for taking photos. The downsides are that there are still quite a few steps, some attractions are not suitable for seniors, and it gets crowded during holidays, so it's recommended to avoid peak times. Overall, the scenery is beautiful, and the whole family can enjoy a pleasant trip.
