Day 3: Artisan Flames – From Woodblock Prints to the Eye of Bohai – A 3-Day Weifang Itinerary

🖌 Morning: The Warmth of Folk Traditions

Yangjiabu Folk Art Grand View Garden (Hanting District)
Hand-print woodblock New Year paintings🎨 (guided by intangible cultural heritage inheritors, ¥50), where carving knives dance🗡️✨ bringing door gods and auspicious beasts to life on red paper🔴🐉; craft a "Penglai Crane" kite🪶 (workshop opening in 2025), marveling at the physics within bamboo frames and silk wings🎋💫.

Fangzi Town (Fangzi District):
Step into German-Japanese colonial architecture🏛️, filming location for the drama "North and South"🎥. The red-brick train station🚉 and coal mine ruins whisper industrial history🖤⚒️, with new 2025 "Jiaoji Railway Immersive Theater" shows (10:00/15:00) – don period costumes to meet miners and engineers from a century ago🎩🚂!

🌶 Noon: Jiaodong Flavor Memories

Wasabi Chicken (Fu Guozhuang Heritage Restaurant): Tender shredded chicken with freshly ground wasabi🐔💚, eye-wateringly invigorating🔥!

Jingzhi Three-Layer Pancake: Roll up stir-fried vegetables🌯, savoring wheat's springy aroma🌾😋.

🌊 Afternoon: Ocean-Sky Romance Symphony

Eye of Bohai Ferris Wheel (Binhai District): World's largest axle-less observation wheel🎡✨, debuting "Sunset Pods" in 2025🌅 (17:00 reservations). Glass capsules ascend 145m☁️ overlooking salt fields like chessboards🧂♟️ and the Bailang River meeting the sea🌊!

Artisans' chisels🔪, boiling boilers♨️, the Ferris wheel's steel rings⚙️ – Weifang forges human warmth🌡️ into objects and landscapes🎨. When Bohai winds animate mythical creatures on New Year prints🌬️🎏, we finally understand💡: True heritage📜 lives when ancient crafts breathe through everyday life🏮, and industrial relics become vessels of future romance💖🚢.
