Shandong Qingdao Xiaomai Island｜As if stepping into a Hayao Miyazaki animation world

💡Scenic Area Introduction Xiaomai Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, connected to the mainland by only a boardwalk bridge, and faces the city across the sea. It boasts vast, flat grasslands with azure waters in the distance. Along the tour path, you can enjoy a 360° view of the sea and gaze at the distant coastline. To protect the red reef rocks, an interesting waterside path has been built on the northwest side of the island entrance, allowing people to better appreciate the beauty of the blue waves and red reefs. The unique red reef rocks and the spectacular scene formed by the waves crashing against them make it a paradise for photography enthusiasts. 🙇🏻‍♀️Scenic Features ＊Island Boardwalk After entering the scenic area and walking onto the island, you first pass through a long boardwalk.
