Taking a boat trip out to sea offers an even more stunning view. 2. Guangli River Forest Wetland Park: In June, thousands of acres of lotus flowers are in full bloom.

Summer Trip: Keshe Aesthetics Hotel - A Unique Charm The day I checked into Keshe Aesthetics Hotel was in the scorching summer, and the weather was extremely hot. The air was thick with a scorching heat, like being inside a giant steamer. Upon entering the hotel lobby, which was extremely spacious, beautiful, and distinctive, I immediately felt cool and refreshed. The unique arrangement of green plants surrounding the first-floor lobby added a layer of mystery to the hotel, giving its already distinctive decor a perfect finishing touch. The hotel front desk attendant was a young lady, dressed appropriately with light makeup. Seeing me approach, she stood up to welcome us. She enthusiastically verified our reservation information and, while processing the check-in, introduced us to some of the hotel's services. Room 8301. Every part of the hotel is a scenic spot worth savoring. The staircase has an antique charm, and the seemingly rough floor is perfectly coordinated, complementing and blending seamlessly with the overall environment. Each step of the staircase has an ambient sensor light, it's truly beautiful! After slowly ascending the stairs, the corridor also amazed me; it was truly designed with great care. Entering the room, I felt a different kind of luxury and depth, very different from typical hotels. It had a great ambiance and an inexplicable sense of familiarity, like stepping into another home. The bed was soft and comfortable, the room was clean and tidy, with no hidden corners for dirt, looking comfortable from every angle. That night, lying on such a comfortable bed, I slept incredibly soundly. It felt like the long-lost deep sleep had returned, such a blissful feeling. I specifically asked the hotel about their mattress, and it turned out to be imported from Italy, no wonder it was so comfortable. Normally, I'd put a pillow under my legs for lower back comfort, but this mattress truly didn't need it. It could conform to the body's contours and provide automatic support. I especially love this bed! The next day, I encountered many guests taking photos at the hotel, and I joined them. There were so many photo spots that I spent the entire morning taking pictures and still couldn't finish. The fifth-floor platform not only offers lake views but also allows for coffee, tea, and dining. Even just sitting outside the pavilion in contemplation is incredibly pleasant. The outdoor plants in the sky garden were all very well maintained. There was also a small vegetable garden laden with fruits, truly adding a unique charm! Moreover, walking around the hotel to enjoy the scenery, and taking photos around Mingyue Lake, yields great shots. Children play on the lakeside beach, people fish by the lake, and cycle on the green roads. Walking east, there's a beautiful small park called Dongyuan Park, where people are constantly taking all sorts of photos. I also captured many beautiful sceneries along the way. When I returned, I saw a housekeeper cleaning my room. She was a woman in her thirties or forties, smiling, with her hair tied in a tight bun. Seeing me enter, she brightly smiled, verified my identity, then quickly cleaned the room and replenished items, and after a few pleasantries, she exited the room. On the day of check-out. The front desk attendant was a different person, an uncle wearing glasses. He took the room card, notified the housekeeping lady to check the room, and then told me I could just leave, and the deposit would be refunded to the original payment method. As I left, he also said, "Welcome to our hotel again." I walked out of the large wooden door, the sunlight so dazzling I could barely open my eyes. Feeling the heat outside, I truly wanted to go back into the hotel; I was so reluctant to leave. Looking back, the hotel's exterior walls shimmered with an ethereal color under the sunlight, like a beautiful painting. Room 8301 would soon welcome new guests, carrying their respective luggage and concerns. And all of this, the hotel would silently remember, perhaps only to quickly forget.

🌊【Dongying in June: What’s it like to be a “wind-chasing girl” at the Yellow River Estuary?】 Who says Shandong only has Qingdao’s beer and Weihai’s beaches? Dongying, where the Yellow River “falls in love” with the sea, is dyed red by Suaeda salsa in June and turned into a dynamic wallpaper by migratory birds! 🏜️ Left hand holding freshly dug clams, right hand raising a Yellow River Estuary cultural ice cream, and turning around you can bump into the mechanical romance of the oilfield’s “nodding donkey” — two days and one night to teach you how to explore the wildness and gentleness at the “yellow-blue junction”~ 🚗【Two-day itinerary to tire your feet】 Day 1: Wetland hike + seafood feast ☀️ Morning: Rush into the Yellow River Estuary Ecotourism Area (ticket including sightseeing bus about 120 RMB), take a boat to chase the “yellow-blue convergence” wonder! Watch the Yellow River water crash into Bohai Bay from the deck, like spilled latte coffee. Squat by the boardwalk to spot Oriental white storks; their long-legged daze looks exactly like me on Monday mornings~ 🍜 Noon: Head to the Yellow River Estuary Crab Restaurant, where the crab roe in scallion-ginger fried blue crabs is so abundant you can dip steamed buns in it. Suaeda salsa vegetable dumplings are as green as jade, paired with corn porridge for a “wetland wellness vibe.” 🌅 Afternoon: Lie down at the Red Beach Wetland (free!), barefoot on the receding tidal flats, tiny crabs pinching your toes feels like mini cupping therapy! Spend 10 RMB to ride a tractor deep into the sea for clam digging, like opening a blind box. 🌃 Evening: Night tour of Gudong Sea Dyke (free!), the sunset on the tidal dam looks like salted egg yolk lava, wind turbines turn into silhouettes in the dusk, photos posted on social media will get asked if you’re filming the sequel to “Youth Against the Wind”! Day 2: Oilfield hardcore + local life ⚡ Morning: Hardcore check-in at the Shengli Oilfield Science and Technology Museum (free!), VR experience of oil drilling, personally refuel the “nodding donkey” model, the guide’s explanation feels like an industrial stand-up comedy. 🍲 Noon: Lijin pan-fried buns arranged! The moment you bite into the crispy bottom and the meat juice bursts out, the auntie at the next table exclaims, “Man’er, eat slowly or you’ll burn yourself!” Paired with a bowl of Yellow River Ancient Path fresh fish soup, so fresh you want to lick the bowl. 🛵 Afternoon: Stroll through Dongying Old Street (free!), hidden in Republic of China-era buildings are handmade sachet shops, spend 15 RMB to DIY an mugwort mosquito repellent pouch. Around the corner, encounter “Zhenggu Big Pot Whole Lamb,” a sip of lamb soup instantly transports you back to grandma’s kang bed-stove. 🌟【Must-visit checklist】 1️⃣ Yellow-Blue Convergence Viewing Platform (boat about 150 RMB): Best viewing time is one hour after high tide; drone shots of the boundary line look like the “38th parallel” painted by God. 2️⃣ Gudong Sea Dyke Starry Sky (free all day): At 3 a.m., the Milky Way hangs vertically over the sea, lying in a space capsule homestay counting shooting stars, romantically illegal. 3️⃣ Qingfeng Lake Light Show (free! 20:00-21:00): Lake fountains explode into rainbows with music, wearing Hanfu for photos looks like the heroine of a xianxia drama. 🏨【Stay inside the scenery】 • Nightscape lovers: Choose Blue Sea Yuhua Hotel, the rooftop bar offers views of both oilfield lights and wetland starry sky, breakfast’s sea cucumber millet porridge is so fresh it’s alarming. • Tide-chasing fanatics: Red Beach Wetland Homestay, open the window to see the tide table, the owner will lend you rubber boots and a shovel, and you can sneak some charcoal-grilled clams during night chats. 🚌【Transportation tips】 • Jinan high-speed train takes 1.5 hours to Dongying South Station, taxi starting fare in the city is 7 RMB, bus line 103 connects main attractions but runs infrequently. • Blood and tears lesson: Don’t wear slippers for tide chasing! Shell fragments are sharper than an ex’s heart; my soles were covered with band-aids for three days! 😋【5 must-try foods】 1️⃣ Yellow River Estuary shrimp paste: Purple-red paste spread on pancakes, salty and fresh with a sea breeze flavor, burping after eating smells like high-class ocean air. 2️⃣ Isolated Island Big Plate Chicken: Belt noodles soaked in chicken broth, chicken mixed with Xinjiang chili and Shandong scallions’ hybrid genes. 3️⃣ Dongji Five-Spice Sheep Head: Old broth stewed sheep brain like tofu pudding, bone marrow can be sucked for “noodle slurping” joy, even better with garlic paste. 💰【Two-day expense bill】 Day 1: Yellow River Estuary boat ticket 150 + hairy crabs 200 + tractor 10 = 360 RMB Day 2: Pan-fried buns 15 + DIY sachet 15 + lamb soup 50 = 80 RMB Total 440 RMB! Feels like paying a “luxury tax” for eyes and tongue, but the oilfield sunset and exploding crab roe make me willing~ ⚠️【Tips: Love-hate mix】 • Love: In June, so few tourists you can take over the entire Red Beach, 20°C evening breeze is more comfortable than air conditioning, local aunties will stuff freshly dug clams into your pockets! • Hate: Wetland mosquitoes attack in swarms, spraying half a bottle of repellent still got bitten into “red bean ice,” long pants and long sleeves welded to my body! Here, you’ll wake up at 4 a.m. for a yellow-blue boundary line, forget your diet vows for a bowl of lamb soup, and go crazy taking photos of the oilfield “nodding donkey” mechanical aesthetics…

I originally planned to go to Binzhou, but on a whim, I navigated to Dongying. I really love Dongying. Having been to so many cities, Dongying's roads are wide and in good condition, making it a comfortable place for self-driving. Itinerary: Day 1: Yellow River Estuary Eco-Tourism Area Day 2: Gudong Seawall Accommodation: Chengzi Hotel near Wanda Plaza, CNY 169/night. It's a newly opened hotel that's cheap and clean. Highly recommended. Chengzi Hotel (Dongying Petroleum University Wanda Plaza Xicheng Branch) 🚗 About Activities: 📍 Yellow River Estuary: 💰 Tickets + sightseeing bus: CNY 85/person; River-sea confluence boat ticket: CNY 169/person A huge ecological scenic area, about an hour's drive from the city center. The scenery along the way is also beautiful, and I saw many people digging for wild vegetables by the roadside. Many people go to see the "Mandarin Duck Hot Pot" (where the Yellow River meets the sea), but the queue during the holidays is really long. We waited for almost three hours. The boat ride takes one and a half hours round trip, just to see the confluence of the river and the sea. If the wind and waves are too strong, you can't go to the deck. Some people say you can call in advance to ask if the boat will be running that day, but it changes in real time. When we went, it was originally closed in the morning, but then it opened again at noon. It is recommended to take the sightseeing bus directly to the Yuanwang Tower and then walk back. There's not much to eat inside, so be sure to bring your own snacks. I was starving when I came out. 📍 Gudong Seawall About a 70-minute drive from the city center. It's a very long coastline with a paid entrance, CNY 30/person, but it's not really necessary to go there. If you drive a little further, you'll reach a free area. This place is great for catching crabs and sea snails. There are so many, and the sea water is very blue. You can also bring some simple camping equipment and enjoy the sea breeze and play games with friends. It's so pleasant. 🫕 About Food: ✅ Village Chief's Noodle Soup: The prawn noodle soup is super delicious; the steamed wild vegetables are delicious and highly recommended; the stir-fried chicken is just average; the braised pork is quite recommended. Village Chief's Noodle Soup (Dongying Tea City Branch) ✅ Yellow River Estuary Seafood: The stone pot flounder head is delicious and a little fatty; the oysters in the steamed seafood pot are very plump; the seafood pot stickers are made with shrimp and cucumber, which is very refreshing. Yellow River Estuary Seafood (Huifeng Branch) ✅ Lijin Fried Buns: I'm not a big fan because the bun skin isn't very soft and the meat inside is a bit fatty. ✅ Seaweed Noodles: I found an old shop in a market. The seaweed noodles were so delicious that I highly recommend them to everyone. ✅ Bafenchang Cold Noodles: Delicious, without sesame sauce, very refreshing. We even packed two bags to take back to Beijing. Bafenchang Cold Noodles Old Shop

💁‍♀️This is a very niche city with a rich cultural heritage. It is the mouth of the Yellow River and the birthplace of The Art of War.

Come and unlock it this weekend! 👣Tour route 👀Day 1: Yellow River Estuary Educated Youth Town ➡️ Yellow River Estuary Ecological Tourism Area ➡️ Yellow River Delta Bird Museum ➡️ Yellow River Estuary ➡️ Honggang Night Market 👀Day 2: Anxing Early Market ➡️ Dongying Art Museum ➡️ Sun Tzu Culture Square ➡️ Qingfeng Lake Park ➡️ Mingyue Lake Wetland Park ➡️ Yellow River Culture Museum ➡️ Dongying Urban Planning Exhibition Hall ❗️Travel advice ✔️The Yellow River Estuary and Educated Youth Town are far from the city center, and there is no direct bus. It is recommended to drive or take a taxi. There are also a lot of people during the holidays, and the experience is not very good. If you really want to experience it, it is best to come on the weekend! ✈️9:00pm–10:25pm Capital T2–Dongying Shengli ✈️10:50pm–12:05am Dongying Shengli–Capital T2 🍽️Restaurants 😋[Village Chief's Pasta Soup] Chain store, large portions and affordable prices, two dishes are enough for two people! Recommended: Shrimp Pasta Soup, Kung Fu Beef, and Fragrant Pork Knuckle 😋[Zaochuan] It is also a highly ranked chain store, and the taste is very, very good. Highly recommended: Deep Sea Fish Pot with Pancake, Pocket Seafood Trio, Handmade Beef Balls, and Steamed Swimming Crab. ☕️[PL Coffee] 500m next to the hotel.

📸 Exploring Dongying: A Photogenic Journey During our visit to Dongying, we explored some incredible spots that are perfect for photography. From breathtaking natural landscapes to unique cultural landmarks, this city offers some truly stunning views. If you’re planning a trip, here are three must-visit places for capturing amazing shots! 🌿 The Yellow River Estuary We visited the Yellow River Estuary, where the mighty Yellow River meets the Bohai Sea, creating a stunning natural landscape. The vast wetlands, golden reed fields, and diverse bird species make it a paradise for photographers. The best time to take pictures is early morning or late afternoon when the golden sunlight enhances the beauty of the scenery. If you’re lucky, you might even spot red-crowned cranes in their natural habitat. I would definitely recommend this spot for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts! 📍 Address: No. 1 Huanghe Road, Dongying District, Dongying City, Shandong Province 🌉 Dongying Blue Ocean Grand Bridge We explored the Dongying Blue Ocean Grand Bridge, an architectural marvel stretching across the Yellow River. This bridge is especially breathtaking at sunset when the sky turns shades of orange and pink, creating a dreamy reflection on the river below. Walking along the bridge offers a panoramic view of the river and the surrounding wetlands. If you want the best photos, I recommend visiting just before sunset to capture the stunning colors of the sky! 📍 Address: Blue Ocean Grand Bridge, Kenli District, Dongying City, Shandong Province 🏭 Shengli Oilfield History Museum A visit to Dongying wouldn’t be complete without exploring the Shengli Oilfield History Museum. As one of China’s largest oilfields, this museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the city’s industrial heritage. The outdoor exhibits, including massive oil drilling equipment, provide striking photo opportunities. The best time to visit is midday when the sunlight highlights the metallic structures, creating dramatic shadows and contrasts. I would recommend this spot for those who enjoy capturing industrial aesthetics and history! 📍 Address: No. 117 Xisi Road, Dongying District, Dongying City, Shandong Province Each of these locations offers a unique perspective of Dongying, and we highly recommend visiting them for an unforgettable photography experience! 📷✨ #discoverchina #Vacation #travel

Guys, who understands?! Kenli Botanical Garden is absolutely amazing! Guys, I have to recommend Kenli Botanical Garden to you today! You'll regret it for a whole year if you don't check it out! As soon as you step into Kenli Botanical Garden, the fresh air rushes into your nose, instantly driving away the hustle and bustle and fatigue of the city. Every cell in your body cheers: "Finally free!" This place is like a "United Nations" of plants, with all kinds of flowers, plants, trees, fruits, and vegetables. It basically covers all the plant species that can grow naturally in this region, all gathered together like a huge party. When spring arrives, the scene is absolutely stunning! The lilacs in the lilac garden are like little elves in purple dresses, swaying their heads and emitting fragrance in the breeze. The peonies in the peony garden are even more magnificent, each holding its head high, red like fire, pink like clouds, and white like snow, making you feel like the queen of flowers. Liu Yuxi's poem, "Only the peony is the true national beauty, moving the capital when it blooms," is so right! Seeing the peonies here, you can really feel the "moving the capital" shock! The flowers in the Begonia and Flowering Peach Garden are not to be outdone either. They cluster together, pink and tender, like a girl's cheeks, making you want to take pictures and post them on your Moments with the caption: "Encountering the gentleness of spring in Kenli Botanical Garden." In summer, the botanical garden transforms into a "natural air-conditioned room." Lush trees hold hands, creating a cool shade. Walking on the path, the sunlight can only sneak in through the gaps in the leaves, scattering spots of light, like walking in a dreamy tunnel of light and shadow. When you're tired, lie down on a bench, and the breeze brings the rustling of leaves and the faint scent of grass and trees. It's even more comfortable than blowing air conditioning at home, making you feel like you're one with nature, like a happy little bird. In autumn, this place becomes a "magical world" of color. The leaves of the parasol trees turn golden yellow, and when the wind blows, they fall down like a golden rain. Ginkgo leaves are not far behind, fanning their small fans and covering the ground with a golden carpet. Walking on it makes a "crunchy" sound, which is so relaxing. The fruit orchard at this time is even more lively, with red apples hanging on the branches like small lanterns, and pomegranates opening their mouths to reveal crystal-clear seeds, as if saying, "Come and eat me!" It feels like every fruit you pick is a sweet gift from nature. When it snows in winter, Kenli Botanical Garden transforms into a fairy-tale ice and snow kingdom. Holly and pine trees stand like brave little guards in green uniforms, covered with snow like white hats, looking adorable. Walking in the garden at this time, the snow under your feet makes a "creaking" sound, and the surroundings are white. You might wonder if you've stepped into the world of "Frozen," and maybe you'll meet Princess Elsa in the next second! In addition to the beautiful plants in all seasons, the entertainment facilities here are also super fun. The small soccer field is not big, but playing soccer with mom and dad on it brings laughter that can pierce the sky, instantly strengthening family bonds. The children's activity area is a paradise for kids, with colorful play equipment, slides, swings, seesaws... each one calling out to the children: "Come and play with me!" Here, children's laughter can drive away all worries, and adults can also rediscover the joy of childhood, feeling like carefree children again. The wooden promenade in the north of Mingjing Lake is a "treasure trove" for taking photos. The sparkling lake water is like a giant mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and green trees, incredibly beautiful. Sitting in the promenade, watching the fish swim freely in the water, occasionally jumping out of the water to greet you and then diving back in with a "plop," creating lovely ripples. Any photo taken here is a masterpiece, making you the king of likes on your Moments! Tingtao Pavilion is a must-visit spot, surrounded by lush trees and fragrant flowers. Standing on it, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the entire botanical garden. If you happen to encounter poets and writers reciting poems here, you'll be in for a treat, feeling like you've absorbed some cultural atmosphere, and maybe you'll even be inspired to write a few lines yourself. Guys, Kenli Botanical Garden is so much fun! Whether you're a nature lover, a worker looking for a place to relax, or parents who want to take their kids out to play, this place can definitely satisfy you! Don't hesitate, come and start a joyful nature trip at Kenli Botanical Garden!
