Shandong is called Qilu land. There are various landforms in this vast land, such as mountains, hills, terraces, basins, plains, lakes and other types. It spans five major water systems: Huaihe River, Yellow River, Haihe River, Xiaoqing River and Jiaodong. The unique geographical landform and natural environment have left Shandong with different natural and cultural landscapes. Famous scenic spots include Mount Tai, Penglai Pavilion, Laoshan Mountain, Confucius Temple, Jiuzhaigou in the Yellow Sea, Daming Lake, Baotu Spring, Black Tiger Spring, Qianfo Mountain, Dai Temple and Qingdao Underwater World. It is difficult to see all the scenic spots in Shandong in one or two sentences. The scenic spots are recommended as follows:

First of all, the first place to go is Mount Tai. As the head of the five mountains, he must see magnificent scenery and is known as the first mountain of calligraphy. Mount Tai was regarded by the ancients as a paradise leading directly to the throne, and became a sacred mountain worshipped by the people and the emperor. There is a saying that "Mount Tai is safe and safe everywhere". Both Taoism and Buddhism regard Mount Tai as a "fairy mountain Buddha country", deify Mount Tai and build a large number of temples on Mount Tai. Ishiguro's "Diamond Sutra" stone carving is famous at home and abroad.

Second, Weihai. There are two recommended places in Weihai. One is the Shendiao Mountain Zoo. Take the children there, absolutely. The other is Tianmu Hot Spring, which is very good to bring your family or two or three confidants. Covering an area of 3,800 mu, the former is known as the largest and most distinctive coastal wildlife nature reserve in China, with more than 50 species of animals 1500 (only) under national first-and second-class protection. The latter environment is elegant and quiet. Go in winter, don't have a flavor. The mountains, water, snowflakes and hot springs here are really unique.

Thirdly, Qingdao Laoshan Scenic Area is also one of the key scenic spots in Shandong Province, an important coastal mountain scenic spot in China and a 5A-level tourist scenic spot. Laoshan Scenic Area consists of 9 scenic spots, such as Jufeng, Liu Qing, Taiqing, Qipanshi, Yangkou, Beijiushui and Hualou. Laoshan Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain in China. The Taiqing Palace, which has been preserved to this day, has a large scale and a long history. It is also wonderful to taste the Laoshan Beer Music Festival in the local area.

Fourth, Qufu is the hometown of Confucius, who gave lectures angrily here, founded Confucian culture and created a generation of saints. The Confucius Temple, Confucius House and Confucius Forest in Qufu, commonly known as the Three Holes, are sacred places to commemorate Confucius and are also included in the World Heritage List. You can buy a one-way ticket or a joint ticket. Interestingly, if domestic tourists can recite 30 chapters of The Analects of Confucius in 10 minutes and interpret 5 chapters correctly at random, they will get a certificate of honor and visit the Three Holes for free once a year. Taking children to experience Confucian culture, the three holes in Qufu are a good choice.

Fifth, you can enjoy the landscape of one lake and three springs in Jinan. One Lake (Daming Lake) and Three Springs (Baotu Spring, Black Tiger Spring and Wulongtan Spring Group) are unique natural landscapes and profound historical and cultural connotations. Baotu Spring, which I learned from the news when I was a child, is also a particularly desirable place.
