Home Inn Plus (Tai'an Panhe Avenue Yujingyuan Branch)

At the foot of Mount Tai, the wheel of time turns slowly, and every brick and stone tells an ancient story. Tai'an, a city built by the mountain and thriving because of it! 🏨 Today, I checked into the Home Inn Plus Hotel on Panhe Avenue. The hotel is located about 4-5 kilometers from the Mount Tai Scenic Area, making it a quick and affordable taxi ride away. 🌆 The hotel has a simple yet elegant design, offering a particularly comfortable atmosphere. While it doesn't exude a luxurious vibe, the clean and tidy environment is truly impressive. 🛏 The rooms are more spacious than expected, with meticulous attention to hygiene. The staff are incredibly friendly! The hotel also has a laundry room, making it easy to take care of your clothes. The central air conditioning is very effective, cooling the room instantly! ⛺ Here are a few recommended attractions, personally tested! 🏬 Dai Temple: Built during the Qin and Han dynasties, this temple was where ancient emperors worshipped the Mount Tai deity and held grand sacrificial ceremonies. It is also a renowned Taoist site and is considered one of China's four major ancient architectural complexes, alongside the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Three Confucian Sites in Qufu, and the Mountain Resort in Chengde. The temple is filled with steles, towering ancient trees, red walls, black tiles, and high-raised eaves, exuding a strong sense of historical charm. Jade Spring Temple: Located on the northern slope of Mount Tai, this area is rich in forests, flowing streams, and ancient trees. The scenery is perfectly described by the verse: "Deep in the valley lies Zen, the path is rugged and serene. Towering ginkgo trees beside the high platform, shaded ridges shelter a pine grove." Underground Dragon Palace: This karst cave, formed over billions of years, features stunning natural formations such as stalactites, stone flowers, stone pillars, stone stalagmites, stone drapes, and stone waterfalls, creating a fascinating natural masterpiece worth exploring. 🍩 Tai'an's local delicacies include Tofu Banquet, Tai'an Pancakes, Mount Tai Fire Buns, Candied Yam, and White Honey Treats. These dishes are perfect for experiencing the unique flavors of Tai'an. 🧡 Prices near the mountain are indeed higher...
