A good place to go on weekends, drive a Peugeot 408 and enjoy the spring scenery in Meilaiwu

Since returning from Tianjin, I can’t hold back my desire to travel by car. Because it involves the issue of starting school for my children, the school does not allow traveling across provinces, and you need to communicate with the teacher in advance when traveling across provinces. A lot of materials need to be submitted. As the school year is about to start, I don’t want to cause any trouble to the school or my children, so I chose to travel within the province for this trip. Places to Visit in Shandong Province I have been to many places, mostly coastal cities. I chose to travel to Laiwu this time because I have wanted to go to Xueye Lake for a long time. Last year, the Car Club organized a party by the Xueye Lake and enjoyed the Xueye Lake. The beautiful scenery, but I didn’t have a good tour, so this time I also want to make up for the previous regrets, and Laiwu is not the only scenery of Xueye Lake.

Many of the buildings on the banks of Xueye Lake have been demolished due to the construction of an ecological Xueye Lake. I wonder if this place can escape the fate of being demolished.

The big clock tower in Shelley Town

Green leaves, red stones, still water. Hongshi Park is a good place to enjoy the cool air

Travel, always on the road, no need to worry about the destination

Xueye Aviation Museum

Transportation (around Laiwu, for reference) Jinan ( Jiqing Expressway South Line, Qingdao direction) 1 Xueye exit Qingdao (Jiqing Expressway South line, Jinan direction) 1 Xueye exit Binzhou (along Binbo Expressway) 1 Zibo (along Bolai Expressway) 1 Laiwu (Jiqing Expressway South line) 1 Xueye Exit Tai'an 1, (along Tai Lai Expressway) - Laiwu West Exit (Laicheng Avenue, Laiming Road) - Xueye 2, (along Tai Lai Expressway) - Laiwu (transfer to Laixin Expressway, Jiqing Expressway South Line, Jinan direction) A Xueye export delicacy must-eat in Laiwu: Xueye authentic fish head, Laiwu fried chicken, Laiwu mutton soup

This trip to Laiwu must be prepared. In line with the principle of gathering wool, this The person who accompanied me on my trip to Laiwu for the first time was my friend Chaojia Sanhuo. I have known him for a long time but had never met him in person. Last time I went to Xueye Lake for a party and secretly ate fish, Brother Sanhuo said I was dishonest and didn't say hello, so this time I went to bother Brother Sanhuo. Two days and two nights, playing and singing every night. Oh no, I drink every night. Of course, although drinking is good, don’t be greedy. As for the 408, my friend’s sign for this trip, it also brought back a lot of memories for me. When I was in Qingdao in 2006, my first car was the Peugeot 307, which stayed with me for more than two years. I also made many friends because of the 307. When I left Qingdao and returned to Zibo, I sold it to my friend in Qingdao, so sometimes when I see a car with the logo, I feel good about it.

The Emblem cars are actually quite good. They are impeccable in terms of workmanship and quality, and their safety is also one of the few. The reason why I bought Emblem cars before was also because of safety. Before I bought the 307, I also joined the Qingdao Car Club. A member of the car club had an accident on the expressway. The car was going very fast and the car was hit and scrapped, but the person suffered a little scratch. Since then, I have been associated with symbols. Although the car is no longer here, the love still remains. Let’s take a look at the pictures first, and then tell the story.

Xueye Tourist Area is located in the center of Shandong Province, 46 kilometers away from the provincial capital Jinan and bordering Zibo Donglin. Xueye Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the mountains and rivers reflect each other. You can drive or walk along the road around the lake to enjoy the cool lake breeze and watch the waves of the lake. Or go to the beach to enjoy the sun, step on the golden sand, swim and surf, or take a yacht on the water to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lakes and mountains. The Huanhu Park, Aviation Science and Technology Sports Park, etc., which are under construction and improvement along Xueye Lake, will make Xueye Lake even more attractive. When visiting Xueye Lake, you have to mention the fish in Xueye Lake. The water quality of Xueye Lake is clear, and the fish produced are famous for their large size, fat body and delicious taste. The main species include silver carp, carp, grass carp, crucian carp, mandarin fish, etc. Especially Xuehu mandarin fish, it is neither fishy nor greasy, delicious and has high nutritional value. So when you come to Xueye Lake, what you will find most are the fish houses along both sides of the lake.

The big stone signboard of Xueye Lake. I didn’t have any plans when I came to Xueye Lake this time. I just walked along the lakeside road and took pictures wherever I saw interesting things. Not many people come here to visit now. There are many, so it seems a bit deserted. The gentle breeze is blowing the green willows. It is also a way to relax by enjoying the coolness by the lake and watching the sparkling waves.

The shooting spot at the entrance of Evergrande Real Estate is also the place where many couples take wedding photos

Since the ecological Xueye Lake is to be built in Evergrande Plaza Garden, there are many buildings and houses around Xueye Lake. They have all been demolished. I wonder if this Evergrande real estate will also be affected.

The perfect combination of friend's 408 and architecture

This was originally a villa area. As mentioned above, these buildings around Xueye Lake will be demolished. Now there are all the buildings inside the gate. Being isolated, it feels like a pity to see groups of beautiful villas turning into ruins. The picture below is also a villa area. It was built not long ago and is part of the area that needs to be demolished. Of course, the government will provide high compensation.

Even in a corner, the yellowing dead trees and green blend together, showing a trace of desolation. Plants and trees are alive, and we should pay more attention to the environment. I think this is also a starting point for promoting ecological Xueye Lake.

On the edge of the lake, set up a small table and brew a pot of tea. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake in the breeze.

Climb high and look into the distance, you can have a panoramic view of Xueye Lake, but you can only capture a corner of it.

The largest water surface area of ??Yehu Lake is 15 square kilometers. The lake surface is wide and the coastline is winding. With the surrounding facilities established and improved, it is also a good place for leisure.

This hotel also needs to be demolished because it is too close to the lake. This measure in Laiwu reminds me of Erhai Lake in Dali. In order to protect the ecological environment of Erhai Lake, all restaurants and hotels around Erhai Lake were demolished, just to leave people with the most beautiful scenery.

The aircraft at the aviation museum along Xueye Lake fly for a while every day. They are all old-fashioned aircraft and there is also a helicopter. There was an air show held in Xueye, and many airplanes came to participate. However, for some reason, the air show was no longer held.

The most common thing around Xueye Lake is this kind of loft building. You can usually go up to the top floor and have a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery, but now the door is locked and you can't go up.

The plaques of Wenchang Pavilion have Wenchang Lake in Zibo and Wenchang Pavilion in Laiwu. Do they come from the same source?

Xueyuanchang Pier, from here you can take a boat tour on the lake, divided into two types: large boats and small boats. The big boat tour takes a little longer, so those who want to stay on the lake for a while can choose. The main purpose of the boat is to experience the excitement. Regarding the price, the ticket price for a large boat is 30 yuan, and the ticket price for a small boat is 50 yuan.

The small boat is such a speedboat, it is fast, and those who like excitement can experience it.

The big boat is suitable for slow swimming and quietly enjoying the surrounding scenery.

Starting from the small square, I heard someone singing, and the followers followed the singing to the lake. Sure enough, the singing came from the pavilion, and a woman in red was singing passionately.

Looking at it from this perspective, it is the Wenchang Pavilion mentioned above.

After stopping and listening for a while, I found that the eldest sister’s singing skills were pretty good. After chatting, I learned that the eldest sister would come to sing every day, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming, and her singing voice melodious and floating in the wind.

I turned my head and suddenly realized that the mountain peak opposite was quite interesting, but I didn’t know its name.

The cruise ships docked on the shore now have few tourists and little business.

After coming out of the pier, I continued walking forward and met an old 408 parked on the side of the road. I chatted with the owner for a while. The car owner also came to Xueye Lake from Jinan and readily accepted our request to take some photos with the car. Although the car owner did not say whether to cover the license plate, in view of respecting the owner's privacy, the license plate was covered here.

The new and old generations of 408 are side by side. To be honest, I still prefer the style of the old model. The slender headlights look bright, and the streamlined body is also very beautiful. I think the tail shape is much better looking than this 408.

Interestingly, the small mirrors used in both cars are the same.

I said goodbye to the big brother and continued walking forward. On a shore, I found a place where children could play.

My second child’s favorite experience with small excavators is this one.

There are also trampolines and several other items for children to play

The small island in the lake has been submerged by the lake water. A few big trees are living tenaciously in the lake water, forming A special sight.

On the shore, many tourists also choose to rest here, and the vehicles drive onto the lawn.

I haven’t been to the opposite side, so I don’t know what kind of tower it is.

A dead fish was found in the water. I don’t know what caused it.

Red Rock Park deserves its name. The entire park is named after a large area of ??exposed red stones. According to research, those red stones with bright colors and wonderfully varied patterns were formed in the Jurassic Period of the Mesozoic Era more than 100 million years ago. Due to the influence of the earth's crust at that time, The movement was violent, the terrain differentiation intensified, and the climate gradually turned dry. Affected by the continental basin-type sedimentary environment, the rocks formed were mostly thick red clastic rock facies, commonly known as red beds.

The south gate and east gate of Red Rock Park. The south gate is more orthodox. After entering from the south gate, there is a fountain. On the left is an 8.5-hectare lake. There are more people visiting here. The picture below shows the east gate. You can see the red stones fastest when entering through the east gate. Moreover, there are many green plants at the east gate, making it suitable for strolling.

After entering through the east gate, green plants occupy a large area, and the cobblestone forest path is very suitable for a walk after dinner to feel the fresh air from this natural oxygen bar.

Red stone landform. This is the first time I have seen such a landscape environment. The red rocks and green plants are closely linked together, forming a unique landscape.

The perfect combination of red stones and green plants, only nature can show us such wonderful beauty.

We couldn't help but marvel at the magic of nature on this stone path formed by rocks. It looked like a cave from a distance, and the security administrator was not allowed to get close.

In a small puddle, red stones and green plants echo each other, and a path cuts through the jungle.

The forest path has a very beautiful environment.

The entire lake in the park is connected to each other. This is the same lake as the south gate.

The scenery is very beautiful

After entering through the east gate, there is basically only so much that can be accessed. There is still a long distance from the east gate to the south gate, so we returned through the east gate. , driving to the south gate, although avoiding the walking distance, but also missed many scenic spots in the park.

Enter through the south gate and go left, which is the lake. The fountain in the lake has not been activated during the epidemic.

I thought there were only two people dancing. When we left the park, we discovered that they were organized.

Lakeside Pavilion

A wooden arbor connects both sides of the bridge. Walking on the bridge, you will see the noisy road with busy traffic on the left, and the quiet lake on the right.

There were lush aquatic plants, and water birds flew out of them, but no photos were taken.

In this modern city, there is a lake that echoes the architecture, allowing busyness and leisure to blend together.

Through the long corridor, one side of the corridor is the sparkling lake, and the other side of the corridor is another unique scenery.

The two girls are sitting here to enjoy the cool air

Through the square window of the corridor, one side is full of green garden, the breeze is blowing, the grass is dancing with the wind, and the lake is full of water. Waves.

On the other side is the strange stone mangosteen. The garden is full of spring scenery, and no red apricots are seen coming out of the wall.

After walking through the corridor, there is a bridge. Across the lake, connecting both sides.

A broken tree fell into the water and grew tenaciously.

Walking across the small bridge, there was no slowdown in my steps. The old woman's steps were still steady.

Pairs of young men and women relax and entertain here, either lying down, sitting, or playing poker, leisurely and at ease.

When you enter the south gate, you can rarely see red stones. Most of the stones are concentrated at the east gate.

Twelve Zodiac Stone Statues

The portraits of the twelve animals after entering the park are not lifelike, but they feel very cute.

This is an 80-year-old man who goes to the park to practice writing every afternoon.

Ruiyun Temple, according to historical records, this Taoist temple was built in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, and has a history of more than 600 years. During this period, many repairs were carried out, but it still could not escape the baptism of war and was gradually destroyed. Yalu Mountain Park was approved for construction in 2004. In order to promote history and culture and restore its old appearance, the Taoist temple was restored on the original site. The rebuilt temple is magnificent and exquisite, recreating the atmosphere of the first Taoist temple.

During special periods, vehicles are not allowed to drive up the mountain. After hard communication, the uncle allowed us to drive up, but we could only go up to the mountainside. Our original idea of ??driving up to the mountain gate was in vain.

Nantianmen Archway, a blessed place in the cave.

The little lion statue on the stone bridge is lifelike.

Looking at Qinglong Pavilion from a distance

The steps are very steep, and the central area of ??the steps on both sides is carved with various patterns, which are very exquisite.

Faucet drainage, there is no detailed number of faucets in this circle, but during the rainy season, a spectacular group of dragons playing in the water will be formed here.

Going up the steps is the Qinglong Pavilion, where the old man is listening to music and having a great time.

The Bagua furnace in the Qinglong Pavilion is dark inside, as if something has been burned

Although the carvings on the outer eaves of the pavilion were built in the later period, the carvings are also lifelike.

Continue walking and you will see the subjective view of Ruiyun Temple

Because of the epidemic, Ruiyun Temple is not open, but it is still very good inside. Wait until next time Be sure to go in and have a look when you come back.

There are many such pavilions in the entire Yalu Mountain, and each one is unique and very beautiful.

You could drive up the mountain road in Yalu Mountain before the epidemic, but now the control is so severe that it is no longer allowed. . Because I was too tired from walking, I took a lot less photos, and I didn't go past the main entrance of the mountain gate. I missed some regrets here. I will complete the remaining regrets when I come back next time.

In fact, there are many scenic spots to visit in Laiwu. There are more than ten scenic spots of various sizes in Laiwu, as well as multiple provincial and national forest parks, as well as ten famous mountains and eight major landscapes. If you want to see them all, It also takes a lot of time. During this trip to Laiwu, it was a pity that many attractions were not open, including the Laiwu Battle Museum. This place is worth a visit. The Battle of Laiwu was a large-scale campaign of annihilation carried out by the East China Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army under the command of Chen Yi and Su Yu in the Shandong Liberated Area in February 1947 in the early days of the Liberation War. Recommend a restaurant: Fengcheng Town has a very beautiful environment, antique decoration style, and a retro flavor. The food is also very good, and there is a small playground at the entrance for children to play. There are small fish in the pool, which is also a place where children like to play.

The gate of Laiwu Battle Museum is closed and not open.

The overall environment of Fengcheng Town is very beautiful and the food is delicious.

The colorful lanterns hanging in the corridor

The beautiful environment makes people want to stop at the first sight.
