Buying a cup of coffee in front of the church for photos is very photogenic ☕️ 🏡 10:30 AM Longjiang Road Internet-famous Street - Real feeling: Painted walls, Totoro graffiti, Insomniac café… every step is a surprise! 🎨 But it’s really crowded, you have to find gaps to take photos~ 🍜 12:00 PM Lunch Time - Recommendation: Jiulong Restaurant (Old store on Dagu Road) - Must order: Spicy squid strips, oyster sauce scallops, spicy stir-fried clams - Foodie insight: Large portions and affordable! 60 yuan per person to eat full, clams are plump and sand-free, paired with Qingdao fresh beer is amazing! 🍺 🌲 1:30 PM Xiaoyushan Park - Admission: Free (Scan code to reserve) - Opening Hours: 6:00-20:00 - Experience: 5 minutes to the top!
