Shandong is really a magical province, Zibo has been popular from last year to the present, and this year's peony season has exploded again.
However, I didn't go to either of these places, but went to Linyi, which is next door to Zibo.
Everyone may not have any impression of Linyi, but when it comes to its ancient name Langya, it is estimated that many people are interested at once.
There are planes and high-speed rail, and the transportation is quite convenient. It is next to Zibo, Rizhao and Tai'an...... After eating barbecue, watching the sea, and climbing Mount Tai, you can come to Linyi to lie down.
I've been thinking about how to introduce Linyi for a long time, because there is so much to say.
Speaking of culture, it is the core birthplace of Dongyi culture, where Zhuge Liang and Wang Xizhi were born. The museum not only displays the world-famous bamboo slips of "The Art of War", but also the extremely rare shape of the golden jade cover.
Speaking of fun, a Yi River has given it countless ways to play, cycling and walking, watching the sunset and taking a cruise...... Go to Citywalk, an alley where young people gather, and go to Linyi Zoo and Botanical Garden to see Yinke.
You can even go to the wholesale market to get a feel for the "logistics capital of China" that is not inferior to Yiwu.
Speaking of food, there are beef grits that people queue up to eat at half past two in the morning, Linyi fried chicken with super firm meat, and Shandong pancakes that become more fragrant the more you chew them...... The night market street, which you can't walk around, allows you to feel the true love of Linyi people for food.

And it's really happy to play in Linyi.
Many iconic attractions are free to enter, and city buses are free of charge during morning and evening rush hours, national holidays, and weekends. It doesn't cost much to have a good time.
If you have two days and one night to go to Linyi to eat, you can refer to my route, the must-see attractions basically cover:
Day1: Former Residence of Wang Xizhi - Yinqueshan Han Tomb Bamboo Slips Museum - Municipal Party Committee Compound - Xiangmin Fried Chicken Old Shop (Railway Station Store) - Riverside Basketball Court - Lantian Pedestrian Street - Lights Lanshan Xinlangya

Start a cultural journey in Linyi
Linyi City Museum
From Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:00, last admission at 4:00 p.m
Swipe your ID card to enter the museum for free
6 exhibition halls and more than 30,000 exhibits. As a national first-class museum, the Linyi Museum is definitely worth taking half a day to visit.
The treasure of the town hall is the golden jade cover, which is the only set of jade clothes found so far that only has foot covers, gloves and head coverings, but no limbs and upper body.
Be sure to take a good time to listen to the museum's free public welfare explanation, and follow the docent to truly appreciate the historical accumulation behind the cultural relics. Otherwise, the super-precious "Epic on the Stone - Han Portrait Stone Special Exhibition" looks like a house full of big stones.
PS. Opposite the museum is the Linyi Science and Technology Museum (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays), parents who bring children to play can make an appointment to visit together in advance. A 4D theater can keep adults and children entertained.
Yinque Mountain Han Tomb Bamboo Slip Museum
From Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:00, last admission at 4:00 p.m
Admission is free, and reservations are required
If you love military culture, then this museum is a must.
In 1972, the bamboo slips "The Art of War" and "The Art of War" were unearthed in the same tomb in Yinque Mountain, Linyi, which solved the eternal mystery of "Sun Wu, Sun Bin and his people, and the authenticity of his book" in history, causing a sensation at home and abroad.
The bamboo slips of "The Art of War" were rated as one of the "Nine Treasures of the Towns and the Country".
In addition to being able to see the bamboo slips up close, the museum also exhibits a large number of cultural relics unearthed from the Han Tomb and fine cultural relics in the museum's collection. Everyone can't help but take out their mobile phones to take a picture when they see this rap figurine.
Linyi Art Museum
Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:00, last admission at 16:30
Scan the QR code to make an appointment on site to visit for free
Although the Linyi Art Museum, which has been very interesting since the beginning of the building, has only two floors, it can also spend a long time here when encountering interesting temporary exhibitions.
For example, this time I came across a large-scale national sculpture exhibition, and 197 sculptures of different styles presented a visual feast.
There is also an exhibition hall of "Old Town Memory" on the second floor, which takes you back to Linyi in the 80s with old black and white photos. Friends in the north should be able to bring back a lot of memories of their hometown here.
Wang Xizhi's former residence
Spring, summer and autumn opening hours: 8:30-17:30, ticket sales last at 5 p.m
In winter, it is open from 8:30 to 17:00 and ticket sales close at 16:30
Tickets: 20 RMB/person
Wang Xizhi should be familiar to everyone, and it took me a lot of brain cells to recite "Lanting Collection Preface" at the beginning.
I don't think the ticket is expensive at 20 yuan, after all, the attractions are still quite big, in addition to the classical garden design of pavilions and pavilions, the stele forest, the inkstone pond and many other small attractions, you can also visit the underground Jin Tomb Museum.
In 2003, two tombs were accidentally discovered in the underground during the expansion of the former residence, and it became the first large-scale tomb of the Wei and Jin dynasties discovered in Shandong, and was also rated as one of the "top ten new archaeological discoveries in the country" in 2003.
If you visit Linyi in autumn, you can also visit the Confucian Temple not far from Wang Xizhi's former residence (you can visit for free by booking in advance), there are two huge ginkgo trees in the temple, and the ginkgo season is really beautiful. The rest of the time, because there are fewer things to visit, the recommendation is not a high priority.
When you have nothing to do, come and explore the city
Municipal Party Committee Compound
Right next to the Bamboo Slips Museum, it's a great place to visit for Citywalk.
As the name suggests, it's an old residential area that later attracted a group of young people to set up shop. The combination of the old building and the bold and trendy store design of young people gives this area a very different charm.
The shop directions aren't so obvious that wandering around here is like playing a treasure hunt, and a small shop can pop up in a narrow alley that doesn't quite show up.
If you don't have that much time to explore, you can first search for pancakes in Wang Fang's compound, take this as a starting point, and then locate the courtyard Malatang, which is relatively concentrated on this route.
2 yuan water bus
This is a super popular attraction in Linyi! You can take a boat for half an hour for 2 yuan, and it is difficult to find a ticket on holidays. Even the earliest boat on weekday mornings was full.
It is advisable to come early to queue up and grab a window seat. Otherwise, if you sit in an aisle seat with four seats in a row, the two dollars will immediately feel depreciated.
Sitting by the window, looking at the water observation bridge and looking at the TV tower, you can also feel the magic of the "20-minute park effect" here.
WeChat search Linyi water bus can find the ticket purchase entrance. Tickets are released at midnight every day, and tickets can be purchased up to one day in advance. If you can't buy it online, you can try your luck at the offline ticket office on the same day.
Linyi Garden Expo Park
If the terminal of the water bus is Calligraphy Square, you can also stop by the free Garden Expo Park after getting off the boat.
17 cities in Shandong and 9 counties and 6 districts in Linyi have all encircled a piece of land here and moved their most distinctive scenery. When I went, it was the peony season, and the peonies in Heze Garden allowed me to meet the most well-dressed group of aunts in Linyi City.
The riverside basketball court can watch the sunset and enjoy the night view
Whoever said that Linyi people don't love life, take him to the park next to the riverside basketball court.
At four or five o'clock, people come to wait for the sunset, and after that, many people bring their own canopies, barbecue grills, and playing cards to start the nightlife.
Even though I was in time for the cloudy day to see the sunset, the "blues hour" after sunset and the light show on the opposite shore after dark felt like great value for money.
However, the water's edge + lights make it really super buggy here, remember to bring a mask.
Lights Lanshan New Langya
The newly built antique commercial block, the color is really bold, so that during the day, it always feels like an indescribable plastic feeling, and it will be much better after turning on the lights at night.
It is suitable for shareholders who want to find a place to visit with children, or who want to find a place to take pictures after wearing ancient costumes. Be sure to come at night, it's very deserted during the day.
Use a bowl of grits to turn on the Linyi delicious switch
Chaoyang grits main store
Address: 100 meters south of the intersection of Lanshan Road and Yizhou Road, Lanshan District
Business hours: 02:30-11:30
If you don't drink a bowl of grits when you come to Linyi, it's a trip for nothing.
From half past two in the morning, people lined up to drink a bowl of pot grits, and at seven or eight in the morning, the surrounding neighbors came to occupy the neighborhood with pots and insulated buckets.
If you don't drown a fritter in the grits in the morning, you will feel suffocated for the day.
Chaoyang Grits is relatively lighter in pepper, and it is more friendly to tourists from other provinces.
A bowl of beef grits costs 5 yuan to 40 yuan, and the difference lies in the amount of beef. You can eat a lot of meat for 10 yuan.
The faint pepper flavor in the lower stomach makes the brain clear instantly, and QQ's wheat kernels add a bit of pleasure to chewing. Served with a freshly fried fritters, the oil is crispy and soaked in the soup, not to mention how fragrant.
The fried buns in the store also taste good, and the vegetarian stuffing is only 1.5 yuan per piece, which is super big.
By the way, the Yizhou Grits Museum where "Breakfast China" was filmed is not far away, and if the Chaoyang queue is too fierce on holidays, you can go there to have a look.
Dongfanghong Commercial Street - Morning Market
Chaoyang Grits is about a 10-minute walk to this super lively morning market. According to the regulations, the show ends at 8 o'clock in the morning, so it is recommended to come early.
Visiting the morning market always makes people feel happy, and walking around the whole street in the crowd, looking at vegetables and fruits, listening to bargaining, and feeling that the taste of class on the body is a lot lighter.
You can also solve breakfast here, freshly made fritters, fried buns, and a bowl of smooth and tender tofu brain.
Xiangmin fried chicken old shop (railway station store)
Address: 200 meters south of the intersection of Taoran Road and Pingchuan Road, Lanshan District
Business hours: 10:30-22:30
As a representative of Linyi cuisine, last year's #Linyi people ate more than 100 million chickens a year# on the hot search, which gave Guangdong, a major chicken-eating province, a sense of threat.
Ask the taxi masters for food recommendations, and fried chicken must also be the first recommendation.
There are many delicious fried chicken restaurants in Linyi, and Xiang Min is one of the representatives, so popular that I arrived at half past four in the afternoon on weekdays.
The biggest feature of Linyi fried chicken is that the chicken should be free-range rooster.
The taxi master taught me a trick: if you want to see if it is free-range, you can directly look at the chicken feet, and if it is black, it means that it is a real free-range chicken.
After my tooth mouth examination, I recommend that the shareholders who eat it for the first time order the 128 yuan pot small rooster, which is about a year old, and the meat has been so tight that my bite expression is gradually hideous.
260 yuan is an old rooster, the meat quality will be tighter, and the word "crispy" is used in a gourmet's food review.
Wang Fang's compound stalls pancakes
Address: Next to the Bamboo Slips Museum of the Han Tomb in Yinque Mountain
Business hours: 07:00-20:30
How can you not eat pancakes when you come to Shandong. This shop is next to the Han Tomb Bamboo Slips Museum, and when I arrived at the store at one o'clock in the afternoon, I still met a house full of customers and takeaway guys coming and going.
Make to order. Shareholders who can eat offal highly recommend trying the chicken liver roll pancakes! I ordered a 13 yuan set meal, crunchy carrots, cabbage, with soft eggs, ham sausages, and rich chicken liver, a bite is super fragrant.
The only downside is that it's a bit cheek-wrenching. Shareholders with a good appetite can go to the wonton shop next door to have a bowl of wontons to run.
Lantian Pedestrian Street - Night Market
The two food courts are across the street, and the stalls are endless. From half past five in the afternoon to twelve in the morning, you can come here to integrate into the nightlife of Linyi people.
We recommend trying the special stinky tofu in the soup, which is freshly fried and topped with a secret soup poured from a hot water kettle, and served with a lot of coriander and chili peppers.
I also bought a spicy side dish roll pancake, there are a lot of side dishes to choose from, and when it is rolled, it is a huge one in my hand.
However, I personally think that the taste is average, probably because the cakes and dishes are cold, and they taste their own flavors, which is not enough to integrate.
After eating, you can also feel the charm of Linyi "China's logistics capital" when you enter from this mouth.
Clothes, hats, toys, mobile phone cases, wearing nails, cosmetics, life department stores...... There is really only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy.
Because of the time, there are many things that I want to eat and want to go that I haven't been able to experience in person, but I have regrets before I can go on the next trip. Shareholders are also welcome to share more Linyi delicious and fun strategies in the comment area!
/Travel Tips/
Accommodation: It is recommended to live in Lanshan District, where most of Linyi's scenic spots and delicious shops are concentrated. This time, I lived near the Denghuo Lanshan Xinlangya scenic spot, which is within walking distance to Chaoyang Grits Museum, and it is very convenient to take a taxi to other scenic spots, take a bus, and ride a shared electric car. Refer to the All Seasons and Tsuta Hotel.
Transportation: Linyi has an airport, high-speed rail station and railway station.
If you take the high-speed rail to Linyi, most of them have to change trains, and shareholders with enough time can string Linyi and surrounding cities together to play, such as Jinan, Rizhao, etc.
