Hackberry Bay

Hackberry Bay

Hackberry Bay is nestled within the rolling mountains of Liubu Town in the southern part of Jinan, covering an area of over 2,000 acres. With its theme centered around lush greenery, clear waters, and folk culture, the scenic area has become another gem for leisure travel on the outskirts of Jinan. Embracing the ancient charm of the Wei and Jin dynasties, Hackberry Bay is renowned for its mountains, water, and pastoral landscapes. The entire area bears no trace of modern industrial civilization—instead, it is filled with bluestone, thatched roofs, fences, and gnarled vines, making it an ideal destination for rest and relaxation if you’re yearning to escape the noise of the city and seek inner peace.

For those who enjoy tranquility, you can set up a fishing rod by the bay for a quiet day of angling. And if that’s still not enough, head further south into Chestnut Valley to be surrounded by tens of thousands of chestnut trees. Adventure seekers will also find their paradise here, as over 1,000 acres of pristine mountain forests await your exploration. Towering peaks, flowing streams, cliffs, precipices, exotic flowers, and rare plants create a breathtaking tableau. A clear spring hidden deep in the woods, a uniquely shaped rock jutting from a cliff edge, or a wild rabbit darting through the grass—all will bring delightful surprises to your journey. After all the sightseeing, playing, and adventuring, when you’re tired and hungry, it’s time to sit down and savor the authentic and rustic “Bride’s Feast” and “Mother-in-Law’s Dishes.” The ingredients used are all genuine mountain produce—untainted, pollution-free, and green. Carefully prepared and served in specially crafted clay plates and bowls, they’re sure to whet your appetite. Meanwhile, village girls dressed in coarse linen clothes shuttle back and forth carrying traditional food boxes on shoulder poles, adding yet another charming touch to the scenery. Come to Hackberry Bay, live like a carefree wanderer, and indulge in the leisure and delight this serene place has to offer.
