Eat and drink
When it comes to the local food of Huaiyin District, we have to mention "Lu Wei Zhai", which was founded in 1927. The old store of "Lu Wei Zhai" is located in the old commercial port of Jinan, and is famous for burning grilled hooves. Lu Wei Zhai carefully selects high-quality pig trotters, strictly controls the quality, and the pig trotters out of the pot must meet the standards of "sauce red, amber, and walnut skin".
In addition to the hoof, the grilled chicken in the Huaiyin area also has to be eaten. At No. 745, Jinger Road, Huaiyin District, there is a time-honored Chinese brand - Lao Yuji Grilled Chicken Main Store, which has unique craftsmanship and mellow taste, and has been inherited for more than 100 years. As the old Yuji grilled chicken remembered by generations of Jinan people, it has won the titles of "Chinese Famous Food" and "Traditional Famous Food" many times.
Huaiyin District is also a sea of fruits - Xisha Fruit Market. There are not only all kinds of fruit wholesale, but also wine, dried fruits, snack food, as well as high-quality and low-cost small commodities, as well as distinctive Qilu flavor snacks and special agricultural products in the Yellow River area. There are fashion Internet celebrity check-in points, drawing 3,000 square meters of 24 solar terms ground painting, integrating the traditional culture of the 24 solar terms with the format of Shandong Dongxisha International Agricultural Products Trading Center, which not only has a fashionable style, but also promotes the traditional culture in a way that the people like to see.
In addition, it is well known that the full and sticky Wujiapu rice, the crisp and sweet Wujiapu white lotus root, the fragrant and nutritious Yuqinghu shallots, and the tender and refreshing western suburbs cover leek, which are collectively known as the "Four Treasures of Huaiyin", are indispensable household goods.

Fifty miles of cherry blossoms (purple leaf plum) avenue in spring, 3,000 acres of lotus pond moonlight in summer, the largest 1,000 acres of ginkgo forest in the Yellow River Basin in autumn, and the magnificent picture of the frozen north of the sunset over the long river in winter, this is the most beautiful experience given by Huaiyin District.
In early summer, 10,000 roses bloom in the Saishi Rose Garden in the southwest of Huaiyin District, and not far away is the Yellow River, the mother river that meanders and flows. This free leisure experience venue is a pastoral complex of urban suburban agriculture "Quancheng Rice Flowers" integrating pastoral scenery, farming experience, and cultural tourism. Walking into the Saishi Rose Garden, a strong fragrance of flowers wafts in, refreshing people's hearts, and the sea of flowers in the park becomes clouds, attracting bees and butterflies.
The more than 300 acres of lily flowers in Dali Village, Yuqinghu Street, have already exploded out of the circle and have become a new Internet celebrity check-in place for Jinan citizens to travel in the suburbs. Every year around the May Day holiday, the lilies usher in the full blooming period, different varieties of flowers are colorful, crowded one after another, competing to open in the fields, fragrant overflowing, and the countryside is dressed up picturesquely.
The starting point of the 2024 Huaiyin Yellow River Ecological Half Marathon - Mulizhuang Village, there is a stone monument of "Xiaoqing River 0 meters" standing in front of the Muli Gate, which is the source of the Xiaoqing River, and the Muli Qingyuan relying on it has become one of the "Eight Views of Huaiyin".
The water of Lake Miri is clear and sweet, with abundant aquatic products, and there is the magic of "drought does not dry, waterlogging does not flood"; weeping willows and lotus flowers, reflecting the moon in the water, are beautiful. It is rumored that Qin Qiong, a general in the Sui and Tang dynasties, was in distress in the old ditch of the Qiu family, and it was his yellow horse that came to the river to wake him up. Later, the Tang soldiers attacked Jinan Mansion and were stationed in the neighboring Zhouguantun for several months, coming here every day to drink horses. Since then, the water of the Qiujia River is rich in nutrients and can make war horses quickly recover their physical strength.
Yuqing Lake is composed of two parts: the main reservoir area and the grit tank. Overlooking the Yuqing Lake Reservoir from the air, it is like a fan-shaped painting, contrasting with the city and the green land, just like Jinan's version of "the realm of the sky".
