# Travel # This city is famous for its springs all over the city. Its profound historical and cultural heritage and well-preserved historical sites add rich tourism and appreciation value. At the same time, the hospitable Shandong people will definitely leave a beautiful and profound memory for you who come here to play.
Jinan has a temperate monsoon climate. Because of the low latitude, you can go all year round.
The picturesque Jinan brings you infinite surprises, and the picturesque landscape can give you a feeling of being far away from the world. I hope this strategy can solve your eating, drinking and having fun in Jinan, Shandong!
Best season: September -65438+ 10. The best time to see spring water in Jinan is from September to165438+1October after the rainy season. Jinan is called "Spring City". Most tourists go to see the spewing spring. After the supplement of concentrated precipitation in July and August, the groundwater level in Jinan will increase obviously, and the springs in the urban area will compete with each other in autumn. The best time to travel to Jinan is from September to165438+1October after the rainy season every year, that is, autumn in Jinan. At the same time, the Red Gu Ye autumn scenery in Jinan is also very wonderful, which is the most beautiful festival all year round. Hongsu has the reputation of "the source of springs, the land of clouds, the world of flowers and the ocean of forests" and is one of the top ten landscapes in Jinan.
Suggested playing time: 2 days
Accommodation: Where is a good place to live in Jinan? What is the price?
The tourist attractions in Jinan are relatively concentrated and the distance is not too far, so I think it is ok to stay in any hotel within the range of * * * Qingtuan Road-Daming Lake. Even if you want to go out of the city to see historical sites, it is not far from the railway station (and bus station) and long-distance passenger transport center, and there are direct buses. In addition, shopping, walking and eating here are also very convenient.
In terms of price, the hotel price in Jinan is similar to that in ordinary second-and third-tier cities. Express hotels or star-rated hotels can be decided according to their own conditions. It is worth mentioning that there is no real international youth hostel in Jinan, which may disappoint many students. Group buying may be a good choice, as I live in jiefang bridge, 99 yuan/night, as follows:
Second, travel: how to choose the right mode of transportation in Jinan?
Jinan's public transport system is very developed, with many and complete bus lines, which can fully meet the needs of urban travel. The only drawback is that there may be traffic jams during rush hours without the subway, but it will certainly not be as terrible as Beijing. Nearer attractions can also be visited on foot.
Taxis start in 9 yuan. There are many taxis. You can take them when you need them. The itinerary outside the city, the specific attractions will be discussed later.
What's more, although there are almost no old city walls in Jinan, you can still choose to take a boat when the moat is completely vertical. Price 10 yuan/station, city periphery 100 yuan.
Third, attractions: talk about where it is fun!
In this paper, the tourist attractions in Jinan are divided into cultural relics, scenic spots and leisure walks, and you can choose your own travel plan according to your own taste and time.
1, cultural relics:
There are many cultural relics and historic sites in Jinan, with high cultural value, wide age span and strong uniqueness.

Xiao Tang Shan Guo Tombstone Temple is the oldest existing ground building in China, which was built in 1 century. The stone temple building itself, the Han Dynasty portrait on the inner wall of the temple, and the regular script of Ode to Filial Piety of Wang Gan in Longdong in the Northern Qi Dynasty on the west wall all have extremely high cultural relics and appreciation value.
(3) Temple Gate Tower Scenic Area of Shentong Temple
Opening hours: 08:30- 16:00, tickets: ordinary tickets to 30 yuan, student tickets 15 yuan, no need to buy tickets before 08:30.
Address: Liubu Town, Licheng District
Suggested tour time: three hours.
Mode of transportation: Take bus No.67 directly to the downtown area, about 1 hour, and the ticket is three yuan.
Shentong Temple, originally named Langgong Temple, was built in the first year of pre-Qin (35 1). It is named after the founder of this mountain, Lang Gong. It has a long history and was once the largest temple in Shandong. Funded by the royal family in Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was finally destroyed in the temple in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.
There are a large number of stone architectural cultural relics in Shentong Temple, among which Simen Pagoda in Sui Dynasty, Dragon and Tiger Pagoda in Tang Dynasty, Thousand Buddha Cliff and Tallinn in Jin Dynasty are all state-level cultural relics protection units. These cultural relics are of great significance to the study of the development history of Buddhist art in Shandong. There are many relics and stone tablets in the temple, among which "Kangxi Rebuilds the Stone Tablet" is beautiful in rhetoric, so you might as well read it. The nearby Jiuding Tower has been privately contracted into a folk amusement park, which is too expensive to see at close range. It's a pity.

(4) Lingyan Temple
Opening hours: 08:00- 17:00. Admission: Ordinary ticket to 45 yuan and student ticket to 30 yuan.
Address: Wande Town, Changqing District
Suggested tour time: three hours for the main building complex of Lingyan Temple. In addition, there is a mountain hall on the top of the mountain, which contains the stone Buddha of the Tang Dynasty. It takes 1.5 hours to climb the mountain.
Transportation: Take the bus to Tai 'an from Jinan Dikou Road Passenger Station and get off at Lingyansi intersection. The fare is 24 yuan, and the journey is about 1 hour. Then take a black taxi up the hill. It's about 7 kilometers from the intersection to the temple. After reading it, go back to the intersection and wait for the bus to return to Jinan. Ticket price 10 yuan.
Lingyan Temple, a world heritage site, was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and has been called one of the "four famous temples on the sea" since the Tang Dynasty. There are towering Pishi Temple Pagoda in the Tang Dynasty, stone pagodas and tomb pagodas in the Tang Dynasty and magnificent Thousand Buddhas Hall. The lifelike and magnificent Buddha statues and Lohan statues in the Thousand Buddhas Hall were called "the first sculpture at sea" by Liang Rengong. In addition, the existing architectural sites of the Tang Dynasty in the temple, the spring water on the mountain, and the Zhengmeng Hall in Fangshan on the top of the mountain (with the Red Gate Buddha in the Tang Dynasty) are also very interesting and worth seeing.
(5) Shandong Provincial Museum
Opening hours: 09:00- 17:00, admission: free.
Suggested tour time: four hours.
The collection of Shandong Museum is still very good, such as Qingzhou statue in Buddha exhibition hall, stone relief in Han Dynasty, Zhan in Ming Dynasty, etc. , with rich historical information and high artistic value. Not visiting here is tantamount to not systematically understanding the historical changes in ancient Shandong.
2. Attractions:
When it comes to scenic spots in Jinan, people will undoubtedly think of Daming Lake, Baotu Spring and Qianfo Mountain, which are introduced below.
(1) Daming Lake
Opening hours: all day, tickets: 30 in the west, free in the east.
Suggested tour time: at will.
This is a very famous lake for Aunt Xia in Princess Zhu Huan. Quite a few foreign tourists visit this lake for the same purpose as going to the Forbidden City to find a book.
But the author's main impression of Daming Lake comes from a famous patriotic army poet-Zhang Zongchang.
His poem of the same name is concise, interesting and full of life, which naturally impresses you.
Daming Lake Zhang Zongchang in the Republic of China
Daming Lake Hu Ming University
There are lotus flowers in Daming Lake.
There are toads on the lotus.
Poke and bounce
Tut tut, it's really rare. It's so wet ~
With this famous poem, I visited Daming Lake in the evening. My personal suggestion is that there is no need to buy tickets to see some real and fake antique buildings, which are of little value. Whether it is day or night, walking around and sitting in the free zone is the right thing. It would be better to bring your partner or be a little ambiguous, so as to be worthy of such a beautiful scenery.
(2) Baotu Spring
Opening hours: 08:00- 17:00, admission: ordinary ticket 40, student ticket 20.
Suggested tour time: one and a half hours
After 80' s and early 90' s, you should be deeply impressed by "The First Spring in the World" in primary school textbooks. Baotu Spring is a park now. In addition to Baotu Spring, there are some other springs, supplemented by rockeries, plants, buildings and other landscapes. The environment is pleasant.
In particular, the ticket is attached to Wulongtan Park opposite the north gate of Baotu Spring. In addition, you can drink 5 yuan/Cup of Spring Tea at the North Gate, which is delicious and the proprietress is very kind.
(3) Qianfo Mountain
How can I put it? As one of the three famous scenic spots in Jinan, Qianfo Mountain is a very tasteless scenic spot in my opinion.
Looking up from the foot of the mountain, the scenery and height of this mountain are not surprising. It is better to climb Mount Tai next door than to spend money and effort.
Moreover, there are no historical sites and art in Qianfo Mountain, which has nothing to do with various historical events. Even the locals don't value their own scenic spots. Plus I didn't go myself, so I don't recommend it.
3. just stroll around:
(1) quancheng square
Landmark building, a must-see commercial and leisure area in Jinan, is just outside the east gate of Baotu Spring. Male students can consider putting their girlfriends here for shopping.
(2) Furong Street
An "old street" with antique buildings and old houses has almost sold all the goods and food similar to "old streets" such as Nanluoguxiang in Beijing, Lijiang, Xitang, Dongguan in Yangzhou, Jinli in Chengdu, Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai and Confucius Temple in Nanjing. At the northern end of Furong Street, there are Fu Xue Confucian Temple, Christian Church, Daming Lake and other water systems.
(3) Jinan moat and Black Tiger Spring
Since Jinan is called a spring city, it shows that it is a city rich in water resources.
The water in Jinan is neither lofty nor delicate, just every moment when you and I live in this city.
Walking along the ancient moat, the green willows hang low and the river is crystal clear. Every few steps, you can see a spring flowing into the river. On the bank of the spring, old Jinan people are carrying containers full of water.
Find an aunt and grandpa and drink a handful of spring water. The taste is light and moist, and there is no unnecessary breath. And it's like this humble city and the hospitable but unobtrusive people living in it.
4. Gourmet: Come out to eat something delicious?
As the capital of Shandong Province, you can't miss Shandong cuisine, which is one of the four major cuisines in Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong and Hunan. Plus a bottle of Tsingtao beer, it is really the greatest enjoyment at the end of the day.
Experience tells us that roadside shops are often the most authentic and delicious, and of course the most affordable. Friends and neighbors might as well have a try.
My favorite restaurant in Jinan is Chunjiang Hotel (an old shop in Qingtuan Road), which I think is very good and the price is within the acceptable range. If there is no other favorite restaurant, I might as well try it.
Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallion
Near the old campus of Shandong University/Hongjialou Catholic Church, there will be a large number of vendors selling various snacks at night, such as barbecue, fried rice and jiaozi. Good quality and low price, friends who like it can also try it.
