　　Counting the various delicious and fun foods that are highly sought after in Zibo, such as glass, ceramics, Boshan cuisine, and various souvenirs, you will find that almost all point to the same place - Boshan.

　　Is there anyone better at eating than the people of Boshan?

　　If you want to talk about the most proud dining table banquet in Zibo, you have to try "Boshan Si Si Xi". The Si Si Xihas been a culinary tradition among Boshan people for nearly a century. If a Boshan friend uses the Si Si Xi to entertain you, it must be the highest etiquette among Boshan people! There are a total of 16 dishes in one table with Si Si Xi, and each serving consists of four dishes.

　　Tofu boxes are indispensable at Boshan cuisine banquets. Tofu is fried and blanched eight times, fixed into shape, and carefully cut with the knife technique that Shandong cuisine takes pride in. The flesh is taken out and made into small boxes. Then stir fry dried scallops, pork, fungus, shiitake mushrooms, etc. into filling and stuff them in.

　　In Boshan, every winter comes, every household makes Suguoto entertain relatives and friends. Cabbage, pig trotters, mackerel, tofu, kelp, lotus root……The diverse flavors together make up this dish.

　　If you ask a person from Zibo what is the most representative food of Boshan, he will definitely tell you without hesitation - "fried meat". The crispy and charred fried meat is evenly coated with Sichuan peppercorns. With a bite, the thin batter is crispy and tender, and the meat is full of flavor. Paired with slightly numbing Sichuan peppercorns, it is fragrant but not greasy, with a salty and delicious aroma.

　　The Beauty of Ceramic Glass in Chinese Aesthetics

　　Boshan is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Glass". Glass originated in Boshan and has a history of over a thousand years, which is why it has the prestigious title of "World Glass Sees China, Chinese Glass Sees Boshan". Boshan's glass firing technique has also been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.

　　As one of the "three piece set" of Zibo culture soul, glass, thousands of years later, still maintains the traditional ancient method of glass firing in the glass production workshop in Boshan today.

　　In the high temperature of over 1400 degrees Celsius, craftsmen hold a handle that is over 2 meters long and shuttle between the furnaces. After melting the crystal and glass mother stones, they undergo more than ten processes such as chemical processing, material selection, blowing, and shaping to naturally condense into noble and magnificent glass products with various shapes. The colors are flowing and colorful, beautiful and magnificent.

　　Boshan used to have so many treasures

　　Boshan is rich in natural resources, and there are inevitably many fun places to be found.

　　In Shiyan Ancient Village, there are flowers and antique buildings everywhere, with an ancient charm and gentle breeze, like a spilled color palette, every place is super beautiful. Here is also the largest 10000 acre native red leaf forest in the north of the Yangtze River. Walking in the ancient charm, accompanied by red leaves all the way, it is simply not too beautiful!

　　If you want to find a peaceful place, stay for a few days, and enjoy a lazy time, why not come to Yanshen Ancient Town to relax. The name of Yanshen Ancient Town comes from Boshan, which was formerly known as "Yanshen". As one of the main birthplaces of Zibo ceramics, Yanshen Town is known as the "Chinese Ceramic Ancient Kiln Village". During the Northern Song Dynasty, Yan Shen was already a major center for the development of coal and ceramics, and now preserves more than ten ancient kilns.

　　A national forest park that hiking enthusiasts cannot miss - Lushan, which is the fourth highest peak in Shandong province. The Lushan Forest Scenic Area in Shandong Province boasts towering mountains, crisscrossing ravines, waterfalls and springs, and dense forests. It has unique scenic resources and is a typical mountainous scenic area.

　　Entering Kaiyuan Cave and Boshan Cave, the sound of flowing water and tinkling sounds throughout the cave is the sound of nature. Even in winter, the cave is as warm as spring, giving people a sense of elegance and mystery. The stalactites with various shapes and wonders become colorful and vibrant under the colorful lights.

　　The treasures of this small town of Boshan are far more than that. The rest are wonderful and waiting for you to explore on your own~
