With the crisp autumn weather, now is the perfect time to visit Shandong and enjoy the beauty of the season. Southeast Travel has carefully curated a series of Shandong tour packages. Book and pay before 9/30 for departures between 10/1 and 11/15 on selected group types (excluding PAK tours), and receive a 6-piece travel storage set (limited quantity, while supplies last). The second traveler in the same booking enjoys up to NT$3,000 discount.

Among the many options, we especially recommend the “Maple Magic, Heartwarming Shandong – Dual World Heritage Sites, Wine Tasting & Fruit Picking 8-Day Tour.” In addition to two nights at an international five-star hotel, the itinerary includes Qingdao’s popular Seafood Banquet, where you can sample the most diverse array of seafood delicacies from the Yellow Sea in one pot.

Besides great accommodation and dining, the tour also takes you to several famous maple-viewing spots across Shandong. Red Leaf Valley in Jinan, designated as a National 4A-level tourist attraction, is breathtaking in autumn when the mountains are ablaze with color and forests are painted in vibrant hues. In Qingdao, Badaguan and Taiqing Palace in Laoshan are also well-known destinations for viewing red leaves and ginkgo trees.

Shandong not only boasts distinct seasons but also offers the chance to experience the dual UNESCO World Heritage sites of Mount Tai and Qufu. Known as the “Foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains,” Mount Tai is famed for its numerous stone carvings and was where ancient emperors held grand Fengshan ceremonies to worship heaven and earth. Qufu, the hometown of Confucius – the revered Sage of Sages – is home to the Temple of Confucius, the Kong Family Mansion, and the Cemetery of Confucius, all of which are World Cultural Heritage sites, celebrated and respected by generations.

In addition to the above, Southeast Travel also offers other Shandong tours such as the “Ancient City Night View at Taierzhuang & Climb Mount Tai 6-Day Tour,” “European-Style Shandong – Climb Mount Tai & Fengshan Ceremony Show 8-Day Tour,” and “Scenic Qingdao, Spring City Jinan, Dual World Heritage & Climb Mount Tai & Qufu 8-Day Tour” – all packed with exciting experiences.
