🏨 Accommodation Recommendations
Near Crystal Street, there are many hotels in this area with affordable prices, and it's very convenient to go out for barbecue, and it's also close to the Ceramic Glaze Gallery. Wanxianghui is close to Ba Da Ju and Zibo Station, making it convenient for travel.
It is a small commodity street to eat, play, drink, take advantage of the heat to reduce the baking, but the truth is not so good, the taste is general, the service is general, the environment is general, not clean, not clean. I would like to represent my personal point of view, but the small strawberry sold inside tastes really good, you can try 🧚♂️🧚♂️🧚♂️.

This time the hotel is specially next to the eight major situations. I stayed for three days. Every morning, I solved the breakfast in the eight major situations. The eight major situations are actually a vegetable market. After the fire, various snacks are slowly more, the price is normal, Two people have to eat breakfast casually. It is not expensive, not cheap, and the taste is still online, but it seems that there is no particularly delicious food. It is commendable that the government department has improved the management of tourism by several grades. Tourists are very relieved to eat here.
Everything is very complete, a variety of snacks, the surrounding area extends to the Communist Youth League Road, there is a street of calligraphy and painting, there is a Chinese medicine consultation, and Zhou Yi ☺️
