Come to the Apple Capital to Eat Apples and Have Fun

Qixia is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Yantai, Shandong Province, known as the "Apple Capital of China". The mountains are covered with orchards! Here you can visit the Taoist holy land of Taixu Palace (the place where Qiu Chuji practiced), the well-preserved Mushi Manor of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the beautiful red leaves and rhododendron flowers of Yashan National Forest Park. The scenery is different in each season, and the experience of Jiaodong folk customs and farmhouses is also very interesting.
