Recently I came to Longkou, Shandong. After hearing this, many friends would say: Longkou for Longkou fans?

Yes, in Jiangsu, where I live, most of the impressions of Shandong Longkou come from Longkou fans, and little else is known about it.

I was no exception. I was very curious when I came to this coastal city for the first time. However, after three days of traveling, my impression of Longkou, Shandong has changed!

With its high-quality natural environment and history and culture, it is naturally an excellent tourist city!

Longkou was a Qingzhou barbarian in ancient times, and its history can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang began to establish Huang County within the territory. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huang County was still under the jurisdiction of Donglai County.

And my favorite Dongwu Group of the Three Kingdoms, the first general in the group, Tai Shici, was also from Donglai. He rescued Kong Rong in Beihai, fought against the Little Overlord, and shouted, "A man should carry a three-foot sword to establish an invincible empire."

achievement".

It can be seen that Longkou has outstanding people since ancient times, so I will share with you what I saw and heard in the past three days.

"Huangxianfang, Qixialiang, and Penglai will produce good girls." There was a folk song circulated in the Jiaodong Peninsula. Among them, Huangxianfang can be said to be a microcosm of the history and culture of Longkou, Shandong. It has a history of more than 200 years.

Among them, the former residence of the Ding family and the ancient village of Xiheyang Village are represented.

Among them, Ding's Manor is located at No. 137 Donglai Street.

There are about 243 existing buildings. The building complex is divided into several courtyards, and each courtyard is composed of several courtyards.

It is understood that this is one of the largest and best-preserved "siheyuan"-style building complexes in China.

According to the commentator, during the heyday of the Ding family, the family had more than 3,400 residences, covering most of Huang County.

Why is the Ding family so outstanding?

Because he was a pawnshop family at that time, with pawnshops and banks across 11 provinces and cities across the country, his assets were equivalent to 54 million taels of silver, which is said to be equal to the fiscal revenue of the Qing government for one year, so he was also nicknamed "Ding Million" and was the richest man in Shandong at that time.

.

At the same time, the Ding family "uses learning to become an official, uses officialdom to protect business, and uses business to support education."

By organically combining officials, businessmen, and Confucianism, it was able to flourish for a long time.

27 people have passed the exams and have passed the imperial examination.

There are 149 people with official rank of fifth rank or above.

And Xiheyang Village is also an ancient village with a glorious history and outstanding people.

When most farmers in Jiaodong were farming, many outstanding business elites appeared in Xiheyang, which shows the high talent of Longkou people in business.

Because there are many people doing business, Xiheyang is also very wealthy.

Among them is the saying that "there is the Ding family in the city, and there is Xiheyang in the countryside."

Today, there are more than 200 well-preserved Hawa houses in Xiheyang, and the smallest one is more than 100 years old. It is also a typical representative of Huangxian houses.

But when I came to Xiheyang this time, the village was undergoing water pipe renovation and road construction. I mainly visited some exhibition halls and listened to the story of the big locust tree in the village.

After talking about the history and culture of Longkou, let’s talk about the city’s best tourist attractions.

It is the only national 5A-level scenic spot in Longkou - Nanshan Tourism Scenic Spot.

This scenic spot belongs to Nanshan Group, which ranks 153rd on the list of China's top 500 private enterprises in 2020 and is mainly engaged in the aluminum industry.

Maybe this is the first time you have heard of Nanshan Group, but it must be closely related to your life.

In the Nanshan exhibition hall in the visitor center, I also saw many applications of Nanshan’s aluminum products in daily life, such as food packaging.

Let’s briefly introduce the background of Nanshan Group. Let’s take a look at what there is to see in Nanshan tourist attractions, right?

It is divided into three parts: the Religious Cultural Park, the Chinese Historical Cultural Park and the East China Sea Tourism Resort.

Among them, the Religious Cultural Park contains the world's largest Sikkim bronze seated Buddha - 38.66 meters high and weighing 380 tons.

Climbing the 360 ??steps to the foot of the Giant Buddha, I was also deeply impressed by the ecological environment here.

Surrounded by green mountains and clustered with houses, the air quality and permeability are much better than in the city.

It is a solemn and majestic religious resort, and it is also worthy of being a place of health and wellness with excellent environment.

Nanshan tourist attractions also have some niche attractions, such as the thousand-year-old wisteria and ancient well, the magical Wuliang Temple, etc.

The place is very large and you can take a scenic sightseeing bus to visit it.

If you have enough time, you might as well play for a few more days.

What impressed me most was the high-end experience projects here. Equestrian, yachting, and golf are all not found in ordinary scenic spots. The venues here are all world-class, suitable for a little luxury!

I rode a group of eight-year-old warmblood horses here; I also went to the golf course with my friends to practice golf; of course we also boarded a yacht and enjoyed the sea breeze in Longkou.

Nanshan Resort is suitable for a few more days, so accommodation and meals must also be arranged. Nanshan Tourism Resort has its own high-star hotels and unique Zen B&Bs, which are very selective.

Whether it's a business trip or a family outing, there's something for you.

During these few days in Longkou, Shandong, delicious food was an unexpected bonus.

Here I would like to introduce a local farmhouse banquet, because I think it can better represent local life and it has gained me a lot of knowledge.

The table below is an authentic farmhouse banquet eaten in Dongheyang Village, Zhuyouguan Town. What level do you think it is?

Because it is in the countryside, the restaurant space is extremely large.
