Hello, I'm from Zaozhuang, Shandong Province. If you leave from Shanghai, I suggest you go to Qufu for a day, then go to Taishan, and Qufu will go to Tai 'an for about an hour. (You can choose a car when the time is not right.) Climbing Taishan for a day is very tiring, and you can stay in Tai 'an for a day or two. There are many interesting things in Tai 'an, such as Fangte, Sun Tribe and Tianle City Water World. You can search online and the consumption is not very high. Then go from Tai 'an to Yiyuan to play Jiutian Cave (Jiutian Cave is located in Yiyuan County, Zibo). After that, take a bus from Yiyuan to Qingdao. In fact, two days is enough for Qingdao. If you don't go to Laoshan, one day is enough for Qingdao. It takes about 5 hours to return from Qingdao to Zaozhuang by bus (the train is far from Jinan). Zaozhuang has a BRT that goes directly to Taierzhuang Memorial Hall. The ancient canal city is very convenient. If you want to return to Shanghai by train, it takes about one hour to take a bus from Taierzhuang to Xuzhou. (It is farther from Taierzhuang to Zaozhuang Railway Station than from Xuzhou.) There are more trains from Xuzhou to Shanghai. Tickets for hotel scenic spots can be booked online along the way. You can check the number of bus trips at the local station or call 114 to check the bus station. Have a nice trip ~
