Grandma Haiyan’s Potstickers: Various seafood flavors, thin skin with lots of filling, golden crispy bottom, juicy bite (about 20 RMB per person) 2. No.33 Courtyard: Popular with locals, signature roasted turbot fish crispy outside and tender inside, sea intestine rice is generous (about 80 RMB per person) 3. Old Captain Seafood Noodles: Noodles with big shrimp, clams, and oysters, sauce coats every strand (about 25 RMB per person) 4. Wait for My Boat to Dock: 20-year-old restaurant, great environment, fresh seafood steamed on the spot with secret sauce (about 100 RMB per person) 5. Hongfa Red Bakery: High cost-performance old bakery, four flavors with rich fillings (about 15 RMB per person) Avoidance tips: · Don’t eat seafood at the big stalls near Zhanqiao Pier—expensive and not fresh · Beer Street’s beer prices are three times higher than outside; for draft beer, go to small shops near Dengzhou Road Beer Street 🚗 Transportation Guide Arrival: · Jiaodong International Airport: 39 km from city center, recommend arriving 2 hours early, Metro Line 8 direct (7 RMB, about 50 minutes) · Qingdao Station/Qingdao North Station: Most high-speed trains arrive at Qingdao North Station; Qingdao Station mainly serves regular trains (Qingdao Station is very close to Zhanqiao Pier) City Transportation: · Metro: 7 lines cover major attractions (download "Qingdao Metro" app for QR code rides) · Bus: 1-2 RMB, supports QR code payment, wide coverage but traffic jams during peak hours · Taxi: Starting fare 10 RMB, recommend using the meter; ride-hailing apps are more cost-effective · Tram: Unique experience but limited routes 🏨 Accommodation Area Choices 1. May Fourth Square: City center with convenient transport, developed commercial dining, very convenient for night views and light shows (hotels 300-500 RMB/night) 2.

Near Badaguan: Collection of international architectural styles, villas and small Western-style houses with beautiful scenery (high-end hotels 600+ RMB/night) ⚠️ Pitfall Avoidance Tips 1. Choose Qingdao Station or Qingdao North Station when arriving; Qingdao Station is very close to Zhanqiao Pier, avoid Qingdao West Station (super far!) 2. Don’t trust taxi drivers’ recommended scenic spots or restaurants—they usually have vested interests 3. Prioritize metro for travel; almost all major attractions have metro stations 4. Highly recommend Polar Ocean World and Olympic Sailing Center; you can try sailing activities (remember to bargain) 5. Avoid cartoon characters who approach you for photos at attractions—they all charge fees 6. Respect religious beliefs when visiting St. Michael’s Cathedral; dress appropriately and no slippers allowed inside 7. Buy souvenirs at large supermarkets; souvenir shops in scenic areas charge double 8. Coastal rocks are slippery; be careful when taking photos and always watch for tide changes 💡 Warm Tips · Qingdao weather is changeable, with possible strong winds and temperature drops; keep an eye on weather forecasts (coastal areas are colder than downtown) · Consider tide changes when photographing sunsets by the sea to avoid danger · Most tickets are for Qingdao Underwater World, but Polar Ocean World offers a better experience · Book hotels in advance, especially during holidays and peak seasons (prices double in July and August) · Download the "Qingdao Metro" app for seamless metro and bus rides · Strong UV rays by the sea; even on cloudy days, apply sunscreen 💰 Budget Reference (3 days 2 nights per person) Item Budget Comfortable Accommodation 400 RMB 800 RMB Meals 300 RMB 600 RMB Transportation 150 RMB 300 RMB Tickets 250 RMB 450 RMB Total 1100 RMB 2150 RMB Which Qingdao attraction do you most want to visit?

Originally planned to go to Weihai, but by a twist of fate ended up in Qingdao, and I was completely captivated by this city! From coastal scenery to historical heritage, from delicious food to street vibes, every aspect of Qingdao surprises you. This comprehensive guide will help you unlock the "charm" of Qingdao! 🔵 Best Time to Visit The best time to visit Qingdao is April to May and September to October 🌸! Avoid the summer crowds and heat; during these months, temperatures range from 18℃ to 25℃, with gentle sunshine and a cool sea breeze. The plane trees in Badaguan are just sprouting new leaves, the lawns at Xiaomai Island are soft as a carpet, and the seafood after the fishing season is plump and fresh. Strolling the streets is pure enjoyment~ 🔵 Itinerary Planning Day 1: Classic Qingdao City Tour → Holiday Inn Qingdao City Center (stay) Arrive in the morning and head straight to Zhanqiao Pier 🌉 to watch seagulls circling (more abundant in autumn and winter), then stroll back to Huilan Pavilion to feel the century-old history. Next, visit the Former German Governor’s Residence Museum, with its red brick walls and green dome—every photo looks like a European masterpiece. In the afternoon, explore Badaguan, where ten streets hide architecture from over twenty countries. The peach blossoms on Shaoguan Road and the ginkgo trees on Juyongguan Road create a scene like a world architecture expo at every step. In the evening, check into Holiday Inn Qingdao City Center, within walking distance to May Fourth Square. The room offers views of the Fushan Bay nightscape—super convenient! Day 2: Seeking Immortals in Laoshan → Laoshan Blue Sea Junhua Hotel (stay) Early morning head to Laoshan 🗻, take the cable car to overlook the magnificent mountain-sea connection, listen to Taoist stories under the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree at Taiqing Palace, step on the waves at Yangkou Beach, and sip the crisp, sweet mountain spring water. In the afternoon, enjoy seaweed buns and steamed crab at a Laoshan fishing village. The seafood is freshly caught—so fresh it’ll blow your mind! In the evening, stay at a hotel at the foot of Laoshan, open the window to see the mountains, listen to the insects, watch the stars, and escape the city’s hustle and bustle. Day 3: Artistic Qingdao Slow Life → Return In the morning, visit Xiaomai Island Park 🌿, lie on the lawn staring at the sea or stroll along the wooden boardwalk—every shot is Instagram-worthy. Next door, Yan’er Island Mountain Park offers thrilling cliff trails perfect for photos. In the afternoon, wander University Road’s famous red walls, where sunlight filters through plane tree leaves casting dappled shadows like an oil painting. Stop by Lao She’s former residence for a coffee and read a passage from "Rickshaw Boy." Before leaving, pack two bags of Tsingtao beer and dried seafood to take the taste of Qingdao home with you~ 🔵 Transportation Guide ✈️ Plane: Qingdao Liuting Airport (now relocated to Jiaodong Airport) has airport shuttles directly to the city. Metro Line 8 takes about an hour to May Fourth Square—super convenient! 🚄 Train: Qingdao Station is in the old city, a 5-minute walk to Zhanqiao Pier; Qingdao North Station has many high-speed trains, with Metro Line 3 directly to the city—travel is worry-free~ 🔵 Accommodation Picks 🏨 City Convenience: Like Holiday Inn Qingdao City Center, convenient for sightseeing and dining, and you can hit the Taidong Night Market for skewers and beer at night. 🏡 Near Attractions: Laoshan Blue Sea Junhua Hotel, close to Laoshan Scenic Area, perfect for watching the sunrise in the mountains early in the morning for a more immersive experience~ 🔵 Photo Spots 📸 Badaguan (Huashilou): Wear a floral dress and pose with European-style villas and crabapple blossoms as the backdrop to instantly become the star of a vintage magazine cover. 📸 Xiaomai Island Park (center of the lawn): Lay out a picnic blanket with the blue sea and sky behind you for a healing-style backshot. 📸 May Fourth Square (“Wind of May” sculpture): At dusk when the lights come on, use the red sculpture and Fushan Bay light show as your backdrop to capture Qingdao’s nightscape. ✅ Friendly Tips • For seafood, go to Yingkou Road Market, pick your own, and have it freshly cooked at a processing shop—half the price of tourist restaurants! • Rent a bike to explore Badaguan, 10 yuan/hour, easy and enjoyable~ • Don’t buy bottled beer; drink draft beer in bags at street stalls like the locals do! From historic buildings to blue seas and green mountains, from beer and seafood to artistic corners, Qingdao’s romance is hidden in every detail. Once you come, you’ll know this "charm" is worth giving up all other options~ 💕

Controversy and Reflection: When "Internet-famous City" Encounters Ecological Pressure Qingdao's popularity has brought 120 million tourists a year, which has also caused controversy: The average daily garbage cleaning volume in Zhanqiao Scenic Area reaches 5 tons, and the addition of smart sorting garbage bins still cannot solve the pressure; The mountain climbing trails in Laoshan Yangkou Scenic Area have cracked due to excessive trampling, and some sections are open for a limited time; The phenomenon of "switching the beams and pillars" in seafood markets occurs frequently. It is recommended to bring your own spring scale or choose restaurants with clearly marked prices. Interactive topics: Do you support Qingdao limiting the number of tourists? Does commercialization destroy Qingdao's "authenticity"? Which season of Qingdao makes your heart beat the most? V. In-depth Experience: Unlocking Qingdao's "Second Universe" Geological Code: Laoshan granite was formed 120 million years ago. Pick up a piece of volcanic rock as a souvenir; Ecological Scientific Investigation: Xiaomaidao Wetland is an important habitat for black-tailed gulls. You can observe chicks breaking out of their shells with binoculars; Cultural Decoding: The stained glass of the Catholic Church's rose window is actually cultural relics shipped from Germany in 1934. Conclusion: Dialogue with the City Between Mountains and Seas When you see the red tiles and blue sea reflecting each other in Xiaoyushan Mountain, when you taste a sip of century-old raw pulp in the Beer Museum, when you feel the urban fireworks in the wild wonton stall—Qingdao's ultimate charm lies not in which European town or Southeast Asian beach it resembles, but in that it allows you to redefine "the distance": This is not only the end of geography, but also the starting point of the soul.

#Travel itinerary ✔️ Day 1 1️⃣ 5.4 Square I took pictures during the day and went to see the night view at night. 2️⃣ Yongga Hot Pot It's an all-you-can-eat hot pot restaurant where the hot pot ingredients are spinning like conveyor belt sushi. It costs 59.9 yuan per person, and in addition to the hot pot ingredients, you can also eat chicken, ice cream, bread, and fruit. 3️⃣ Xiaoyushan Park It's a place where you can see the view of Qingdao. Admission is free. 4️⃣ Scaffolding 5️⃣ Catholic Church The surrounding Zhongshan Road is also pretty. 6️⃣ Taitung Night Market This is the most famous night market in Qingdao. It's huge. I ate Guo Bao Rou for 22 yuan. ✔️ Day 2 1️⃣ Xin Nong Cun Jian Bing (Xiang Hong Flower Garden Store) I went here to eat jianbing before going to Laoshan. I ate the one with chicken topping and it was 9 yuan. 2️⃣ Laoshan (Laoshan) There were several courses, but I went with the 120 yuan admission and 80 yuan round trip cable car course. After taking the shuttle bus and cable car, it took 1 hour to walk to the top of the mountain. It took 30 minutes to come down. 3️⃣ Tsingtao Beer Museum I wanted to drink beer rather than go to the museum, so I went to the bar in the back and ordered a one-by-one beer tasting. It was 78 yuan. 4️⃣ Ming Yue Shan Night Market Admission is free. There are performances and street food for sale everywhere. 5️⃣ Li Chun Night Market I had the basic 8 yuan Kaolungmian (cold noodle dish) and it was really delicious. It was even more delicious than what I had in Yanbian. Although it is not in the picture, I also ate the soufflé pancake for 15 yuan. It didn't smell like eggs and was delicious. ✔️ Day 3 1️⃣ Zanga Baobao Pie (Wu Si Guang Zhuang Store) I went there because I wanted to eat Chinese breakfast. There are various foods such as porridge, dumplings, and bread. It is a restaurant where you can put what you want on a tray and pay for it. I chose doujiang, youtiao, and wonton and it cost me 17 yuan in total. 2️⃣ Pawang Chai There is a Pawang Chai store at Qingdao Airport. It is on the upper floor of the check-in counter. Pawang Chai is famous for its milk tea.

It's still a bit cold in Qingdao in March and April, but it's totally fine to relax and unwind by the sea for a few days! Our three-day trip started at noon every day, mainly for rest, so we didn't go to many attractions. Here's a brief overview: 🌊DAY1 Xiaoyushan Park – Luxun Park – Qinyu Road – Naval Museum – Xiao Qingdao – Tuandao Seafood Market 🌊DAY2 Laoshan Mountain (Taiqing Scenic Area) – Xiao Li Buyi Korean Restaurant – May Fourth Square 🌊DAY3 Lover's Dam – Olympic Sailing Center – Tsingtao Beer Museum – Yingkou Seafood Market ❤️Highly Recommended❤️ 🏠Accommodation: Guanlan Mansion Seaview Holiday Villa (Mixc City, May Fourth Square, Qingdao). The location is excellent, right next to the seaside promenade. We stayed in the September room, which has a huge terrace. We loved watching the sea, and you can even watch the sunrise from bed 🌅. The photos on Trip.com don't do it justice. The host is handsome and very enthusiastic. There's a coffee shop and a swimming pool downstairs, perfect for relaxing. (Although we didn't stay there, Qinyu Hai, a guesthouse on Qinyu Road, had a great vibe when we went there for coffee. Recommended 👍) 🎨Dining [One] I recommend Bobo Beer House next to Yingkou. It's run by people from Northeast China who are warm and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. The food is also very good. [Two] Shuanghe Garden's sea urchin fried rice is better than Kaihai's! [Three] You must have a Korean meal. Anyway, it's much better than in Xi'an. We went to Xiao Li Buyi and enjoyed a mouthful of cheese. So happy 😊 ⚠️Things to Avoid and Notes⚠️ 1⃣️ The prices at Tuandao Seafood Market are a bit more expensive than at Yingkou. After buying seafood in Tuandao, we were taken to a shop in the market to have it processed, and it was really bad! It made us feel like we wasted our money on the seafood! It's right across from the beer stand. 2⃣️ If you go during this season, be sure to dress warmly, especially when going to Laoshan Mountain. The fog can roll in quickly, and the wind can pick up suddenly. You'll know if you catch a cold. 3⃣️ Just buy the regular ticket for the Tsingtao Beer Museum (A+B Hall), which includes two glasses of beer and some beer beans. You can buy a noodle skin at the 1903 Bakery when you leave, which is quite delicious.

If I were to rate my Qingdao experience out of 10, I'd give it a 9. My biggest takeaway is that you really can't skimp on certain things! I want to share my travel experiences with you all~ (Super detailed! This one article is enough, so save it quickly!) ❗️ 🚇Transportation: 🚌Bus: Qingdao's bus routes are well-connected. Taking the bus to tour Qingdao costs only CNY 1–2 and takes you to see the mountains and the sea, hitting all the popular attractions along the way. For example, Route 468 circles the Qingdao coastal scenery and runs through Badaguan Scenic Area; Route 317 is a super-long coastal sightseeing line that connects the main attractions along the city's coastline. 🚇Subway: Qingdao has several subway lines open, providing convenient access to various attractions. To get to Laoshan Scenic Area, take Subway Line 4 to Dahedong Station. After exiting the station, you'll find the Laoshan Tourist Service Center, where you can transfer to the scenic sightseeing bus to the Jufeng and Taiqing scenic areas. 🚕Taxi: Taxis are convenient, but you may encounter traffic jams during peak tourist season, and the cost is relatively high. 🚎Dangdang Tram: Known as Qingdao's "living map," it covers more than a dozen popular attractions in Qingdao with just a wristband. It starts from Lanshan Road Bus Station next to Qingdao Railway Station and passes through seven stops, including Zhanqiao Pier and Qinyu Road. With the wristband, you can get on and off the tram as many times as you like on the same day. 🎫Special ticket offers: 🏞️Laoshan Scenic Area: Special offers are available during Women's Day. On March 8, female tourists can climb Laoshan for free (excluding scenic sightseeing buses, cable cars, and other paid items). 🐬Qingdao Underwater World: Adult tickets are discounted during Goddess Festival. For details, please follow the official announcements. Sometimes, you can also bring a child under 1.2m free of charge. 🎢Qingdao Fantawild Dreamland: From March 8–10, all women can enjoy a 50% discount of CNY 140 per person (original price CNY 280 per person). Reservations must be made at least one day in advance. 🏠Accommodation recommendations: 👍Shinan District: I recommend Qingdao Haitian Hotel, which is close to May Fourth Square and No. 3 Bathing Beach, where you can enjoy an unobstructed sea view from 369m above the ground; and Qingdao Litian Hotel, which is close to May Fourth Square and Mixc Qingdao, where you can enjoy mountain and sea views and admire the dazzling lights outside the window. 👍Laoshan District: Switinn Apartment Hotel (Qingdao Convention Center, Shilaoren Bathing Beach) is close to Shilaoren Bathing Beach and WFC Xie Xin Center, where you can drink tea and watch the sea from the bay window and enjoy the tranquility; Qingdao MGM Hotel is close to Shilaoren Bathing Beach and Miaoling Road subway station, with an aerial infinity pool where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the beach. 👍Old Town: You can choose a century-old German-style villa hotel, which is an 8-minute walk from Qingdao Railway Station and 200m from the Catholic Church. It only takes about 5 minutes to walk to Zhanqiao Pier to feed the seagulls. There are many attractions nearby, so you don't need transportation. It is cost-effective for couples or families. ✨Tour sequence: It is recommended to visit the attractions in the old town on the first day to experience the historical charm of Qingdao; on the second day, go to the coastal attractions to enjoy the beautiful sea view; and on the third day, you can go to Laoshan to appreciate the natural scenery. This arrangement avoids backtracking and allows you to fully experience the charm of Qingdao. Based on my experience, it is suitable to visit attractions during the day and watch the night view and shop in the evening. 🗓️Schedule: 1️⃣Day 1: Old Town 🎈9:00: Arrive at Xinhao Hill Park and overlook the Qingdao city scenery of red tiles, green trees, blue sea, and sky. 🎈11:00: Visit the Qingdao German Governor's Residence Site Museum to experience the charm of history. 🎈12:30: Taste Qingdao's special delicacies in nearby restaurants, such as braised mackerel dumplings and sea sausage with rice. 🎈14:00: Go to the University Road Red Wall to take photos, and then stroll around the surrounding artistic shops. 🎈17:00: Come to Zhanqiao Pier to enjoy the seaside sunset and feed the seagulls. 🎈19:00: Go to Zhongshan Road Commercial Street to experience the lively atmosphere and taste various snacks. 2️⃣Day 2: Coastal Line 🎈9:00: Go to Badaguan Scenic Area, stroll on the tree-lined road, and admire the buildings of various countries. 🎈11:00: Come to No. 2 Bathing Beach and play in the waves. 🎈12:30: Enjoy lunch at a restaurant near Badaguan and taste Qingdao's seafood. 🎈14:00: Go to May Fourth Square and take photos of the iconic "May Wind" sculpture. 🎈17:00: Go to the Olympic Sailing Marine Culture Tourism Area to enjoy the beautiful sea view and experience sailing. 🎈19:00: After dinner at a nearby restaurant, enjoy the night view light show at the Olympic Sailing Center. 3️⃣Day 3: Laoshan 🎈9:30: Take the subway to Laoshan Tourist Service Center and transfer to the sightseeing bus to enter Laoshan Scenic Area.

1. Qingdao is divided into the old city and the new city. Most of the tourist attractions are concentrated in the old city, and the new city has the May Fourth Square and shopping malls. I stayed in the new city, which was comfortable and clean, and the shopping mall was right across the street, which was nice. However, if you want to go to the night market or tourist attractions, you have to take a taxi for 20 minutes, which was inconvenient. You can catch a taxi very easily with the Didi Taxi app. 2. The night market is still one of the most satisfying tourist attractions. I went to the Taitung Night Market first, but other than the fact that it was close and had good transportation, I felt that there was nothing special about it. Instead, there is the Lichun Night Market or the Leke(?) Street Night Market, which is a 5-10 minute walk from Lichun, which is large and has a lot to eat. 3. You must take a cruise at May Fourth Square. It is only about 30 minutes, but it is great for seeing the night view of the buildings at a glance. 4. The beer museum, old town (church, cathedral, observatory), etc., can be sore if you go all in one day, so it’s better to enjoy them slowly over two days. 5. I went to the Jjimoru counterfeit market because I was curious, but I didn’t really… I just bought some fruit at the real traditional market near the Jjimoru market and watched a lot of locals. For massage, I went to Chunawon, which is often listed on Naver, but they said I had to wait more than 2 hours without making a reservation. Instead, I waited 15 minutes at a place called Musi Jin Gongbu.
