Mengshan’s hidden perk that many people don’t know about

Free fireworks for seven days during National Day!

With the starry sky as the backdrop and mountains and waters as the stage, Mengshan’s nights are about to be lit up by fireworks.

As a blogger who shares travel notes on Trip.com year-round, I just discovered a treasure destination for the National Day holiday—Mengshan. Here, you’ll find not only magnificent mountain and water scenery but also a seven-day fireworks festival, plus an unexpected free admission benefit!

Explore mountains and waters by day, enjoy fireworks by night

Mengshan Scenic Area is divided into two main parts: Yimeng Mountain Guimeng Scenic Area and Yimeng Mountain Yunmeng Scenic Area. During the day, you can climb Guimeng Peak to experience the grandeur of Shandong’s second highest peak, or stroll through Yunmeng Scenic Area to admire the beauty of China’s waterfalls.

When night falls, the real highlight begins. From October 1 to October 7, around 8 PM each night, the Mengtong Shengjing Tourism Resort will become the main stage for fireworks. Brilliant fireworks bloom among the mountains and waters, outlining a dazzling silhouette, accompanied by the Chaoyin Beach party, filling the evening breeze with lively festive vibes.

Exclusive free admission benefit, don’t miss it!

From October 1 to December 31, 2025, as long as you stay at partner hotels such as Mengshan Yuejing Hotel, Mengshan George Morandi Hotel, or Mengshan Yangxin Resort Hotel, you can enjoy free admission to both Yimeng Mountain Guimeng Scenic Area and Yimeng Mountain Yunmeng Scenic Area by presenting your hotel receipt.

The hotel receipt must include the number of guests, guest names, ID numbers, check-in dates, and be officially stamped. For detailed procedures, please consult the hotel or guesthouse where you stay.

Mengtong Shengjing, a brand-new experience

During National Day, the opening of Mengtong Shengjing coincides perfectly. This new resort area integrates natural ecology, cultural experiences, and wellness leisure. You can participate in a moving blessing ceremony, engage in the Six Arts of Zhou ritual interaction, and at night join the fish lantern night tour, personally releasing Kongming lanterns.

Food lovers must not miss the Yimeng Fried Chicken Garden here. This 6,500-square-meter food plaza gathers over 300 specialty dining shops, allowing you to taste the flavors of Yimeng all in one place.

Practical tips

· Fireworks viewing: The best spot is the Mengtong Shengjing beach area. It’s recommended to arrive one hour early and bring a picnic mat for more comfort.
· Dress advice: The temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains is significant, so bring a light jacket and wear comfortable sneakers for hiking.
· Photography tips: Try capturing fireworks with the mountains and waters as the background to add depth to your photos; use a tripod to keep your phone steady for clearer firework trails.

This National Day, no need to travel far—come to Mengshan to enjoy the double feast of mountains, waters, and fireworks. Quickly invite your family and friends and plan your holiday perfectly!
