Jinan Travel Guide Four-Day Tour_Jinan Self-Driving Travel Guide 2017

Jinan is the capital of Shandong Province. It is the birthplace of Qilu culture. It has various natural springs and is famous for its water and springs. The people and cities here have an aura that carries them to God. With the blessing of Jinan, I will share with you the four-day Jinan travel guide.

The city of Jinan gives me an easy-going and clean feeling.

The two natural miracles of "the best spring in the world" and "the most powerful of the five mountains" are both in this place known as the spring city in the world. How can this city be without aura?

This time I stayed at the Hetang Youth Hostel next to Furong Street. The decoration was casual and retro, and the lady boss was very nice. I could chat with girls from all over the world and exchange postcards at night. I could hear someone playing guitar in the yard at night. Very comfortable stay.

"Mount Tai"

The Five Sacred Mountains

Mount Tai is so famous that I dedicated two days to climb it. The next day I took the train to Tai'an at noon. , the high-speed train only takes 17 minutes, and the Tai'an station is so broken that I can't even find the bus station

I chatted with a girl from Tai'an at Hongmen, and what she said about Tai'an was--

p>

"It's so poor, but we have a mountain. It's so chaotic, but we have a mountain. It's so inferior, but we have a mountain. You don't care about us, anyway, we have a mountain."

Hongmen

There are three routes to climb Mount Tai. The most classic route is: Hongmen → Shibapan → Nantianmen → Yuhuangding route. This is also the only route that can be climbed at night. The most primitive and unsophisticated route: Beitianmen → Houshiwu → Tianzhu Peak → Longji, which is the least developed and full of virgin forests. The most labor-saving route: Taohuayu → Black Dragon Pond → Baizhang Cliff → Bailongchi route. This route has a cableway and can be driven by yourself.

I plan to climb up the mountain from Hongmen at night to watch the sunrise and then descend from Tianzhu Peak. Normally if you want to climb up and die, you will basically take the ropeway down. However, when climbing at night it is completely dark and you can’t see anything along the way. In order not to miss the majestic scenery of Mount Tai, I plan to climb down from the Tianzhu Peak route.

Taishan

I waited here until 8:30 pm to start climbing. I bought a bamboo trekking pole for two yuan. I didn’t have to carry a lot of things, and I didn’t need to carry too much water. Five yuan for two bottles on the mountain is a lot (the guide has been prepared), and you will be so tired when you climb to the back that you wish you had thrown away your shoes, let alone water. We need a flashlight. There are no street lights on Mount Tai, and it’s so dark that we can’t see our fingers.

Shopping Street

There are a lot of people climbing at night. It is very dark and you can’t see anything. You can only climb up. There will be a brightly lit area selling fruits and vegetables some distance away. Trekking poles. In this quiet dark night in the mountains with only the chirping of insects, the place with light is very welcoming.

There will also be temples along the way where you can burn incense.

Zhongtianmen

It took about two hours to climb to Zhongtianmen. In these two hours, my clothes were soaked with sweat. When I arrived at Zhongtianmen, prices soared. Bananas and apples were sold individually. , there are also people who rent military coats, but there are also those at Nantianmen. I feel sorry for those who rented at Zhongtianmen and then continued to climb with the military coats that smelled like copper.

Eighteen steps is also the steepest section, with a total of 1633 levels. After passing it, you will reach Nantianmen. This section was so steep that I couldn't even put my whole foot on the stairs. I couldn't climb it for four minutes before I had to stop and rest for a while.

At this place with a vertical height of 400 meters, most people have no temper or image anymore. They lie down, sleep and rest. When I sit down and lean back gently, I can lie down on the stairs. You can see the stars without looking up. The scattered footsteps of people around me and the sound of canes touching the ground passed by my ears in twos and threes. Others couldn't see me in the darkness. I continued to lie there and look at the stars for a long time.

Tianjie

Arrived at Nantianmen at one o'clock in the morning. There were people sleeping everywhere here, preparing to watch the sunrise the next day. The mountain breeze was very cold, so I rented a military coat and slept intermittently until 3:30, and then continued climbing from Tianjie to Sunrise Peak. Go early to grab a rock to watch the sunrise.

Three past fifty

Four twenty

Four forty

Unfortunately, it rained that day and the clouds were thick. Neither the sunrise nor the sea of ??clouds is obvious. However, I was still shocked by this extraordinary beauty, and there was silence at Guanri Peak with hundreds of people.

Sunrise

There are many steles on the mountain, many of which are inscribed with red lacquer words. The most domineering one is naturally "The Five Sacred Mountains Are Sovereign" on the Jade Emperor Summit.

At this point, I have reached the top of Mount Tai.

The Five Sacred Mountains

Go back to Nantianmen to have breakfast and rest before preparing to go down the mountain.

The Tianzhufeng route has not been developed much, and there is not even a road sign. An uncle at the ropeway pointed the way to me.

Houshiwu Cableway

Uncle: "You want to go to Tianzhu Peak? No, I mean that section is a bit remote and there are few people.

Oh, you won't get lost, it's just that the road is narrow, so be careful. ”

Hou Shiwu is indeed the most primitive and natural route. There are large areas of primeval forest and strange rocks on the road. The piles of rocks along the way form stone rivers, stone seas, stone forests, and strangely shaped and twisted mountains. The pine trees, the moist earthy air of the mountain forest, the ethereal and graceful chirping of birds, these natural rhythms are incomparable and harmonious, forming a picture-like wonder.

Along the way

Incomplete and irregular. The shapes and colors are not rich, but they are incomparably beautiful. This is a feeling that I can't draw in many paintings. It is an honor for me to see this miracle of creation and natural wonder with my own eyes.

Along the way

When we arrived at Shihai, there was a small stone pavilion in the mountains, with a small sky candle on the left. We went in to sketch and take a rest. At this time, a mountain fog suddenly appeared, and the floating white mist was visible to the naked eye. The visible speed obscured the peaks and pine trees, and the air became increasingly humid. I didn't dare to go out in the pavilion. It took about an hour for the fog to disperse again, and at the same time there was a thunder, and I packed up my painting tools and continued on the road. The mist is swaying in the mountains, and the stone steps and pine trees have become hazy in the fog, just like a fairyland. It is a blessing to see the fog rising and dispersing in Mount Tai. ?

Xiao Tianzhu.

Xiao Tianzhu

When I was taking pictures, I suddenly felt something fall on my head. When I looked up, another pine cone skin fell on my face. There was a squirrel just above me, gnawing at it. Pinecone. It jumped among the pine trees with the sound of wind, full of energy.

Squirrel

I walked through the stone steps, climbed over the rocks, crossed the mountain stream, and stepped on the mountain. Crossing the slope, this original route has not been fully developed and has not been fully repaired in many places. There are often broken roads and then continue ahead. Several times I felt that there was no road ahead, but when I walked over, I found that there was still one in the huge mountains. There was only the sound of "empty - empty" when my broken bamboo cane stopped. I was not focused on anything else. When I was tired, I sat down to draw in the rain, then rested and continued along the winding journey. ?

There was no one on the road, and it seemed that the whole mountain and forest belonged to me. I stopped and walked at my own pace, sitting on the ground, and I could slowly take in the wonderful sights along the way.

Big Sky Candle

< p> During these seven hours of walking and walking, I had to stop at any time to gaze at the beauty of nature. I walked past the towering Tianzhu Peak, the deep blue and picturesque natural features, the clear-cut Dragon Ridge, and the vast emerald mountains. The forest bathing beach, the inaccessible Haohan Slope, and the waterfall of the Crane Valley all make you feel like you are in the world.

Wangtian Pavilion

Dragon Backbone

At noon. It started to rain, and my legs were weak. I was wearing shoes that were soaked in wet soil and leaning on a bamboo stick like a gang of beggars. In the heavy rain, I finally reached the Zen Ceremony and went down the mountain.

The foot of Mount Tai

To sum up, in addition to being shocked, I was probably scared. I knew that there were few people on the Tianzhufeng route, and I just like it to be less noisy and crowded, but I didn’t expect that I only met six people in seven hours, and three of them were still. I started climbing when I was almost at the bottom of the mountain. The guardrails on the road were not repaired. There were a few sections of the road that were cut off until I continued up. However, there was really no turning back when climbing Mount Tai. The road was so dangerous that I had to carefully fumble my way down the mountain. So safe and sound.

As for climbing at night, I lost a lot of people without realizing it. There was a section where I was the only one climbing, it was too dark and too quiet. I could hear my clothes scraping and the soles of my shoes hitting the ground. As a person who has never been afraid of anything weird since I was 18 years old, I got scared at that moment. I was still really scared later on, so I called a friend despite the poor signal in the mountains until the 18th game.

Jade Emperor Peak

After more than ten hours of solitude in the mountains and wading through mountains and rivers, the wonders and magnificent scenery on the road made me return to my original nature. My state of mind and body seemed to have been sublimated, and I cherished it even more. Life and love for life

After seeing those natural miracles of the Creator, all the trivial worries no longer existed. Being able to walk down a mountain road with no guardrails for seven hours alive already felt like nothing. It's over.

"Baotu Spring"

Baotu Spring

Baotu Spring is known as "the best spring in the world". The spring water is as clear as a mirror and is the first I was stunned when I saw it. There were hundreds of koi, big and small, in the spring, lining the pond like orange, ruby ??and obsidian. The smallest ones were as big as the palm of my hand. None of them were sick and blue and green. The spring water complements each other. Probably only the spring water in Jinan can breed so many koi. ?

Baotu Spring has three springs. The spring water continuously gushes out to form a fountain. There are also many small springs that shake up a bunch of bubbles from time to time. Lao She once wrote about Baotu Spring -

If you stand still and look at it for three minutes, you will feel the greatness of nature and you will not dare to look at it again. Always so pure, always so lively, always so bright, risk, risk, risk, never tired, never shrinking, it’s just that nature has such power!

I will never see such clarity and beauty again in this life. of spring water. ?

Seal Pool

There is also a seal pool in the surrounding springs. The spring water in Jinan can even keep seals comfortably.

"Daming Lake"

Daming Lake

Daming Lake, which is still talking about Xia Yuhe, is where I have seen the most beautiful lotus so far. The color is like jade that disappears after drinking wine, like mutton fat condensed into jade, and the shape is as transparent as cicada wings, opening into an incomparably harmonious posture. The lotus leaves are connected into one piece, and the lotus flowers are independent among them.

Daming Lake Daming Lake is very big. I walked around for about four hours, and in the middle I went to Chaoran Pavilion, where wood carvings, stone carvings, clay sculptures, fossils, calligraphy and paintings, etc. are displayed. This is also the first time I saw hollow wood carvings, which combine two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes, which is so ingenious. The sixth floor offers a panoramic view of Minghu Lake.

Quancheng Range Rover

Daming Lake

Chaoran Pavilion There are countless bridges and pavilions in Daming Lake, and each name sounds very nice. Meixi Bridge, Shuixiang Pavilion, Fish Island Floating, Wenzhao Station, etc.

It is really enjoyable to cross the bridge and look at the lake.

Ningxue Bridge

There are many springs in Wulongtan Park, such as Lianquan, ancient hot springs, Crescent Moon Spring, Qiu River and other rising springs.

Lianquan

Except for Baotu Spring, it is probably the clearest spring here. There are still countless koi in it. The fish in Jinan are really the most I have seen so far. And he can also jump over the dragon gate.

You just look at the water, and suddenly one jumps out. In just a moment, its tail and body are bowed and it enters the water again. There is a bamboo pavilion and quiet paths in the park. I can't get enough of the springs and scenery. ?

Dai Temple

Located at the foot of Mount Tai, where Qianlong once lived, it carries a rich history. Dai Temple is not as big as the Forbidden City, but it is surrounded by city walls. It was almost dusk when I went there and there were very few people. There was no one walking on the city wall. It was very quiet and the wind cooled down.

The city wall

There are historical relics such as the Luban Hall, the Sophora spp., the Middle Bedroom, and the Bronze Pavilion.

I was shocked by the two 300-year-old ginkgo trees in the middle palace. Ginkgo trees grow very slowly, and are also known as Gongsun trees. One who sows will reap what he reaps. Therefore, these two ginkgo trees are as thick as five people can hug each other, which is rare in the world.

"Black Tiger Spring"< /p>

Black Tiger Spring is the second most famous spring in the world, second only to Baotu Spring. It is named because the sound of the spring wind blowing into the spring is like the roar of a tiger. It is open here and does not require a ticket. The spring water is extremely clear. It belongs to the Baotu Spring Group. In addition to the Black Tiger Spring, there are also Baishi Spring, Jiu Nv Spring, Pipa Spring, etc. You can drink the spring water here directly. ?

Drawing Water

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a lot of old men and women carrying kettles and buckets going in and coming out. When I entered, I found that many people were at Baishi Spring. I fetched water directly. I was extremely excited to buy a bottle of water and then poured it away. Then go scoop the spring water?

White Stone Spring

After all, it is an open-air spring with water plants surrounding the stones. I am still a little nervous to drink it directly, but the water does not have any fishy smell at all. The spring water is cool and has a slight tinge in my throat. It's sweet and really delicious. ?

Pipa Spring

Jiu Nu Spring

Black Tiger Spring and other springs have their own characteristics. There is a platinum dragon-bearded koi in Jiu Nu Spring. , very fairy-like, the water of Black Tiger Spring is full of domineering spouting, and the sound of Pipa Spring water is as rhyming as the pipa.

"Liberation Pavilion"

Commemorates the history of Jinan's liberation. However, as a liberal arts idiot, my only thoughts after reading it are "Zhou Enlai's handwriting is so beautiful" and "Newspapers of that period." The layout design is really good"

Jiefang Pavilion

Jiefang Pavilion

"Qushuiting Street"

Qushuiting Street

p>

Across Qushuiting Street is Daming Lake. This is an antique street that connects alleys such as Donghuaqiangzi Street and Xisidao Street. There are teahouses on each street, where you can sit by the water and drink tea. At night after climbing Mount Tai, I ate hawthorn cake and wandered around the alleys around Qushuiting Street. The atmosphere was quiet and comfortable, and the night breeze was gentle. ?

"Pearl Spring"

Pearl Spring Pearl Spring is also one of the famous springs, but it is quite difficult to find. It is actually located within the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. When I entered, I was afraid of being stopped by security guards. ?

It was almost evening at that time, and the water surface was still picturesque with the remaining warmth of the sunset. There were still many koi in it. It seemed that famous springs and koi were matched. The Pearl Spring koi are very lively, and some of them jump over the dragon gate all the time.

Pearl Spring

The environment in the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress is very good, with small bridges, flowing water, rockeries and weeping willows. It is very quiet in the evening and is suitable for a leisurely walk. There are many adults bringing their children to play, and there is also a five-cornered spring in the deepest part.

"Kuanhou Lane"?

A retro commercial street, adjacent to the World Trade Center, more beautiful than Furong The street is bigger, the architectural design here is better, the stores are much larger than Furong Street, and there are many bars and cafes.

"Quancheng Square"

Quancheng Square

Quancheng Square is the landmark of Jinan City. It is the stage for square dancing aunts at night and is surrounded by business districts. There is a musical fountain in the lotus pond at night. ?

I am very confused about this musical fountain. It actually sprays outside the guardrail. I am very happy that I got the first row? I can’t squeeze in at all in Dalian. Haha

Quancheng Square

Then the straight water column in the middle, yes, hit me impartially. While taking pictures, I was suddenly overwhelmed by the water. The people eating melons around me were laughing very happily, but to be honest, it was also very enjoyable.

?

So far, there are so many main attractions~ There are also many unknown springs and other scenery along the way, which are very beautiful, and they constitute the soul of the city.

This store is amazing because the yogurt fried by the boss is not lumpy, but Ice cream like. The boss poured the yogurt and kept crushing it evenly to prevent it from solidifying. Then he fried it into an ice cream shape and then folded it into bricks and cut it into boxes. However, it was very laborious to fry it this way, and the boss had a bad waist.

Winter and Summer Matcha

This brings my trip to an end.

I was in a bad mood before and couldn’t adjust well. I thought it might be time to travel and see the world. So I bought a plane ticket, put on my backpack, and went to Jinan, a city that is isolated from the rest of the world. There is no subway or light rail. There are more bicycles and little sheep than cars. There are bicycles on the roadside that can be ridden by scanning the QR code. In this city, I tried hard to feel its essence and rhythm. I rarely took public transportation and mostly walked. All the pretensions and worries were left behind step by step along the way, and I became more and more peaceful.

The world is too big, and apart from life and death, nothing is trivial.

If I were not a human being in the next life, I would like to be a koi carp swimming in the spring water of Jinan, carefree and free.

Finally, I’ll put a few sketches in the hope that everyone can live in their own poetic world.
