A one-day tour guide to Wang Xizhi's hometown in Linyi: Find the charm of ink in the hometown of the calligrapher

Wang Xizhi's hometown is located on Xiyanchi Street, Lanshan District, Linyi, Shandong Province. It is a cultural pilgrimage site for calligraphy lovers. The following is a practical guide to play:

【Transportation Guide】
After taking the high-speed rail to Linyi North Station, take bus No. K10 directly to the "Wang Xizhi's Former Residence" station; if you drive, navigate to "Wang Xizhi's Former Residence". The scenic area provides paid parking. It is recommended to arrive at 9 am to avoid the afternoon peak passenger flow.

【Must-see attractions】
1. Former Residence of the Sage of Calligraphy: The core tourist area includes the Langya Academy, the Book Drying Platform and other Jin Dynasty-style buildings. The clear water of the inkstone washing pool reflects the pavilions and terraces, and you can almost see the ancients writing with their brushes.
2. Wang Xizhi Memorial Hall: The museum houses a Tang Dynasty copy of the original "Lanting Preface" and inscriptions by famous calligraphers of all dynasties. It is recommended to set aside 40 minutes to appreciate them carefully.
3. Calligraphy Stele Forest: Stroll along the 100-meter-long stele corridor, where works by Su Shi, Mi Fu and other masters complement contemporary calligraphy, and you can experience free rubbing activities.
4. Lanting Academy: There are calligraphy performances at 10:30/15:00 every day, and visitors can participate in the red tracing experience (charged 30 yuan/person).

【Tour Tips】
Tickets are free, reservations are required through the official account. The scenic area is shaded by trees, and it is recommended to bring mosquito repellent in summer.
The creative store can purchase customized study items (50-200 yuan)

【Nearby Food】
Walk for 10 minutes to "Yizhou Noodle House" to taste the intangible cultural heritage noodle soup (8 yuan/bowl). Nearby "Langya Lane" has Linyi special snacks such as green onion pancakes and braised rabbit head.

The recommended tour duration is 3 hours, which can be combined with Linyi Museum (2 km away) to form a half-day cultural tour.
