Ask for help on self-guided tours in Shandong: Is it better to take a boat from Dalian to Yantai or Weihai? And how to get from Qingdao to Tai'an?

Your itinerary is the most reasonable, but you may feel a little tired on the tour route. If you finish swimming, then climb a mountain, and then visit the Confucius Temple, will you be tired if you climb a mountain again after swimming? It’s me. I think my legs would be weak if I walked around Qufu in this situation. Of course, if you go up and down the ropeway, you won’t have much time to climb the mountain and not much scenery. I think you have to climb at least 18 climbs to go to Mount Tai. Interesting.

I think Yantai and Weihai are both fun. In my words: Dalian-Yantai (tour)-Qingdao (tour)-Jinan (tour)-Qufu (tour)-Taishan (tour)-Jinan (fly) Return) - Shenyang, the route is a bit circuitous compared to yours, but it won’t be very tiring. Of course, you have to arrange the best itinerary according to the available time. I will provide you with a more accurate train schedule. You can make your own schedule. This is what I have found for you now.

After arriving in Qingdao, buy tickets first and then play at ease.
