[2025 Qingdao Attraction] Travel Guide for Pi Chai Yuan (Updated Jul)

Zhongshan Road, a must-visit for Qingdao tourists, and if you go a little west, you will find Pichaiyuan Street. It is an alley with food, where the European-like Zhongshan Road suddenly has a Chinese feel. It is said that it was originally a firewood street and a skewer street. It was recently remodeled and is very, very clean. There is also a decent public restroom with free toilet paper, so you don't have to worry about the restroom~! The alley is not that big, but it feels like an old store, but if you want to enjoy the Chinese atmosphere in a clean place, I recommend it. The dumpling restaurant called Yu Xiang Guo, where Chef Lee Yeon Bok visited, is famous, and the hospitality is also good🥟👍🏻 It is a better street to come in the evening! 📍Pichaiyuan Street 16 He Bei Lu, Qingdao China No. 16 Beijing Road, South District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province (Zhongshan Road Subway Station D Exit, 320m walk) #ChinaTravel #Pichaiyuan #ZhongshanRoad #QingdaoRestaurants #Qingdao #qingdao #AustraliaFlightEvent

1. Chasing the Light: Golden Hour Guide On June 20th, sunset in Qingdao occurs at 19:18. Arrive at the Olympic Sailing Center an hour early, when the sea already shimmers with golden ripples and clouds turn honey-colored—perfect for capturing the "Tangerine Sea." As the sun touches the horizon, the entire bay transforms into flowing amber, with returning fishing boats appearing as gilded silhouettes. 2. Viewpoint Breakdown: Dual Piers, Dual Charms **1. Olympic Sailing Center: Symphony of Modernity and Romance** - **Lover’s Dam**: Stroll along the 800-meter-long pier, with a harbor full of sailboats on your left and the sparkling Fushan Bay on your right. The red light atop the lighthouse blends with the sunset, creating cinematic shots. For the best photo, head to the "Encounter Square" midway, using the spiral staircase as a foreground to capture the Tyndall effect of sunlight piercing the clouds. - **Marine Sightseeing Platform**: The prime spot for Fushan Bay’s light show. At night, dazzling lights reflect on the mirror-like sea, forming a "colorful mirrored illusion" alongside the neon-lit Lover’s Dam. During the recent "Ordos Culture Week" (June 13-15), visitors can enjoy grassland-themed markets and pop-up performances. **2. Zhanqiao Pier: A Century-Old Landmark Dialogues with Nature** - **Huilan Pavilion**: This double-story octagonal pavilion is the soul of Zhanqiao. At sunset, its golden eaves and glazed tiles shimmer with the sea’s glow, evoking old-world charm. Use a telephoto lens to frame seagulls against the sunset for a "boundless ocean" vibe. - **No. 6 Bathing Beach**: At low tide, the sand forms natural mirrors. Crouch low to shoot the sunset’s reflection for a "Sky Mirror" effect. Bring waterproof shoe covers and watch for slippery rocks. 3. Immersive Sunset: A Feast for the Senses - **Sound**: Street performers at Lover’s Dam strum *"Mountains and Seas"* as the sea breeze carries their melodies. Nearby, Zhanqiao’s waves provide natural white noise, drowning out city bustle. - **Taste**: MOSHOP at the Olympic Sailing Center surprises with crispy beef tacos and ice-cold beer. For a refined experience, try the crab feast at Haiyunxuan Restaurant, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the sunset-tinted sea. - **Touch**: The evening breeze calls for a light jacket. Feel the century-old granite at Zhanqiao’s railings or walk the Olympic Center’s pebble footpaths to soothe travel fatigue. 4. Photography Pro Tips: From Phone to Camera - **Golden Hour Phases**: - 18:30-19:00 ("Molten Gold"): Use your phone’s pro mode to underexpose, capturing the sun’s "salted egg yolk" glow alongside fishing boats. - 19:00-19:30 ("Twilight Blues & Pinks"): Activate night mode for city lights blending with dusk. Long exposures smooth the sea into velvet. - **Composition**: - *Framing*: Use the Olympic Center’s white lighthouse arch to layer the sunset. - *Diagonals*: At Zhanqiao, place subjects at the lower left, with the pier and horizon forming dynamic lines. - **Gear**: Smartphones work best with wide-angle lenses; cameras benefit from ND filters for slow-motion waves. Tripods are optional but ideal for time-lapses. 5. Pro Tips: Hidden Ways to Avoid Crowds - **Off-Peak Strategy**: The Olympic Center peaks at 18:00-19:30. Arrive early for tea at "Mountains & Seas Bar" in Qingdao International Convention Center, securing a seaside seat with 180° views. - **Transport**: - *Olympic Center*: Metro Line 2 (Yan’erdao Rd, Exit C), 10-min walk, or buses 317/504. - *Zhanqiao Pier*: Metro Line 3 (Qingdao Station, Exit A), 8-min walk, or buses 6/26/316. - **Stays**: Muser Begger Hotel (780m to Olympic Center) and LET'S B&B (890m) offer rooms with private sea-view terraces. 6. Beyond Sunset: Nighttime Magic - **Light Show**: The Olympic Center’s "Sailing City" themed show dazzles at 19:40 and 20:30 nightly. - **Night Cruise**: Board the *"Blue Sea Pearl"* for skyline views and a seafood buffet (¥200/person). As the last glow fades over Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao’s nightlife awakens. From the Olympic Center’s bars to Pichaiyuan near Zhanqiao, let the sunset’s warmth linger over a drink. Here, dusk is brewed into an eternal poem by the sea, waiting for every light-chaser. 🌊

As a travel blogger, Qingdao's coastline always brings surprises to my lens! This guide, updated with the latest 2025 information, helps you avoid crowds and capture Instagram-worthy "cinematic" content 👇 📸 Must-Visit Magical Photo Spots 1. Shilaoren Cave Navigate to "Shilaoren RV Campground" and walk 300m east during low tide to capture the heart-shaped sea erosion cave with the sunrise. Use a wide-angle lens for that "Descendants of the Sun" vibe! Check tide tables—the 1st and 15th days of the lunar month have the best high tides for photos. ◦ Camera technique: Use a drone for overhead shots of the cave's texture intertwining with the coastline, and shoot slow-motion footage of waves rushing into the cave entrance. 2. Yan'er Island Cliff Walkway Head west along the wooden walkway from the Naval Hotel. The natural cave frames the sunset beautifully, and during high tide, waves crashing against the rocks are spectacular! Wear a white flowing dress and use a telephoto lens to capture the details of flowing hair. ◦ Hidden tip: In the evening when the walkway lights turn on, use a tripod for long exposure shots to record the flowing light and shadow. 3. Signal Hill Rotating Observation Deck Spend 15 yuan on an iced Americano and enjoy a 360° panoramic view of red roofs, green trees, and the blue sea and sky. At 3 PM, the slanting sunlight turns the green spire of the Jiangsu Road Christian Church amber—perfect for time-lapse photography of changing light. 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations • Muye Gongchao Guesthouse (Laoshan Yangkou) French stone arches + 270° sea view terrace. Wake up to the sound of waves and capture lazy shots of "watching sunrise from bed" right in your room. The guesthouse provides Dyson hair dryers and LOEWE toiletries—a delight for those who appreciate details. • Badaguan Century-Old Western House Private garden courtyard with flower-lined stairs leading directly to the sea. The wooden structure and vintage furniture of the old house have amazing texture. The bathtub faces floor-to-ceiling windows—soak while stargazing at night. 🍢 Culinary Qingdao 1. Tuandao Farmers Market A seafood paradise highly recommended by locals! Buy live shrimp and crabs from Sister Wang's stall (thin bags, no water), and get them cooked at the beer house next door for a 5 yuan processing fee per dish. Try the "salt and pepper mantis shrimp + spicy stir-fried clams"—feast until full for just 60 yuan per person. 2. Xizhen Electric Barbecue An old establishment at 15 Wenshang Road, with meat chunks coated in secret sauce, charred and slightly sweet. Pair with microwave-roasted meat and sour bean spicy sauce from next door—a local insider eating hack! 3. Silver Fish Lane Coffee "Largo" coffee shop converted from a century-old courtyard. Sit on seats made from German drainage pipes while drinking "Sea Water Americano." The terrace offers views of red-tiled roofs intertwined with phoenix trees—perfect for artistic photos. 🚗 Transportation & Tips • City travel: Subway Line 2 connects Badaguan, Yan'er Island and other attractions. Download "Qingdao Metro APP" to scan codes for entry. Rent electric balance vehicles (available at Ancient City North Gate) to reach Songzanlin Temple in 5 minutes—50% cheaper than taking a taxi. • Photography equipment: Bring a tripod for stable shooting. Drones are recommended at Shilaoren and Wheat Island (avoid no-fly zones). UV protection is strong in May—arm sleeves and bucket hats are essential. • Seasonal specials: Cherry picking in Laoshan in May, wisteria blooms at Shaohai Scenic Area; in July during the Beer Festival, Golden Beach Beer City hosts light shows and music parties. 📌 Pitfall Guide 1. The seagull season at Zhanqiao Pier is over. Go to Wheat Island for "Japanese-style fresh" photos—fewer people, beautiful scenery. 2. Pichai Courtyard is overly commercialized. Try "Guangdeli 1898 Food Street" in Guangxing Li instead for authentic Republic-era atmosphere and local snacks. 3. When the Laoshan cable car is under maintenance, choose the Taiqing Palace hiking route to encounter painters creating on-site and capture "artistic vibes between mountains and sea." 💡 Itinerary Reference Day 1: Zhanqiao Pier sunrise → Badaguan Western houses photography → Tuandao Market seafood lunch → Yan'er Island sunset → Silver Fish Lane night views Day 2: Laoshan Yangkou Scenic Area → Qingshan Fishing Village tea picking → Shilaoren Cave starry night time-lapse Day 3: Signal Hill panoramic view → Wheat Island cycling tour → Xizhen Electric Barbecue finale

It is a dumpling restaurant on the left side of Pichaiyuan Street in Qingdao Zhongshan Road. It is easy to find the store. The owner, who recognized me as Korean, was shouting “Yu Xiang Guo”. It was like, “You guys came looking for us, right?” Yes, you were right! This is the dumpling restaurant that Chef Lee Yeon Bok visited on the show “Zhou Yu Tian Ha” and ate deliciously. In fact, everyone’s taste is different, and I have never been disappointed after going to a restaurant recommended by a show, so I went there without much expectation, just to satisfy my curiosity, but it was really, really delicious. The owner also taught me how to eat it with care. If you go to Qingdao, it is a restaurant worth visiting. A plate of dumplings costs between 16 and 58 yuan, and the price varies depending on the ingredients. 📍40 dollars at Jiangning Road and Hebei Road, Jiangning District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province #March travel subsidy event#China travel#Qingdao travel#Qingdao restaurants#Zhongshan Road

Practical Tips Here are some practical tips for traveling to Qingdao. Be aware of scams near Zhan Bridge, where some people charge for taking photos. Ask for the price beforehand. Be cautious about seafood restaurants recommended by taxi drivers, as they may overcharge. June to August is the peak season, so book accommodations 2 weeks in advance. November to March is a good time to feed seagulls, with fewer crowds and beautiful scenery. Bring sunscreen and a hat due to strong UV rays on the coast. Wear comfortable athletic shoes for the hilly terrain in the old town. If you plan to dig for clams at Golden Sand Beach during low tide, bring a small bucket and shovel.

For a 7-day in-depth trip, add Weihai Liugong Island, Yantai Penglai Pavilion, and a day trip to Mount Tai.

#ChinaTravel #Qingdao #Pichaiyuan Traveling is about experiencing local culture.. Depending on my domestic standards, local culture can sometimes be unfamiliar, shabby, confusing, and messy.. Pichaiyuan is a very old street stall in Qingdao, and it is a very interesting place to see because of its age and the variety of snacks you can see. However, the distance is shorter than you think, and it is quiet on weekdays. It would be quite fun to visit on the weekend, but it would be a bit embarrassing on weekdays.. However, the alleys around it give you great photo zones when the market is disappointing.

The revival of Qingdao's old city is not just talk, Zhongshan Road hasn't been this lively in many years😭 The book store dragon head lamp🐉, wheat field lights🌾, round frame red lanterns🏮, bow tie lights🎀 and other lighting installations have made the atmosphere on Zhongshan Road full of festive vibes🎊 It's full of New Year's flavor, it's not an exaggeration, there really are a hundred million people on Zhongshan Road this year😵 ✅Dragon Parade on the street 1⃣Dragon dance, lantern parade: Sifang Road, Sanjiangli, Huangdao Road, Pichaiyuan ⏰Time: February 10th - February 24th 14:00｜17:00｜20:00 2⃣Mountain flower, tile, tower puppet parade: Taiping Road ⏰Time: February 10th - February 24th 10:30-20:30 3⃣Fifth day of the Lunar New Year God of Wealth parade: Taixingli, Sifang Road, Sanjiangli, Huangdao Road, Pichaiyuan ⏰Time: February 14th 12:00｜14:30｜16:30｜18:30｜20:00 ✅Band theme performance Taiping Road, Zhongshan Road City Memory Museum, Shuilong Pool, Taixingli, Sanjiangli, Pichaiyuan small square ⏰Performance time: 18:30-20:00 🏮Qingdao Shinan New Year Street Festival ⏰Event time: February 2nd to March 3rd (31 days in total) 📍Event location: Shinan District Shangjieli area (Zhongshan Road, Sea Oath Mountain Alliance Square, Taiping Road, Pichaiyuan, Taixingli, Sifang Road Huangdao Road Sanjiangli and other six theme blocks) 💙Warm reminder: It's difficult to park in the old city, it's recommended to take public transportation🚍 It's so crowded that you can't move😂

In the old alleys of Qingdao Old Town, China, there is Pichaiyuan Street, famous for skewers. It is a traditional skewers street that has been around since 1902. Since I visited early, not all the stores were open, but I was able to see a variety of skewers, as expected from its reputation. I saw insect skewers that were a bit shocking… and there was also bulgasari that I can’t see in Korea. I tried bulgasari because the store owner recommended it fluently in Korean… . It tasted like rotten crab intestines, so I took one bite and threw it in the trash😢 Don’t take a reckless challenge like me and eat something delicious! The reason I felt patriotic was because there were surprisingly many people soliciting customers in Korean, and the dim sum restaurant called Yuhyanggeo that Chef Lee Yeon-bok visited was very popular, so I saw Korean! I recommend Qingdao because they say that the squid skewers are really delicious:) Because Qingdao was under German rule in the past, it feels more like a small Europe than a Chinese feeling, but if you want to feel like you're traveling in China, you should definitely visit Pichaiyuan Street:) #Overseas travel #Qingdao #China #China Qingdao #Qingdao #Qingdao hot place #Pichaiyuan #Skewer street #China independent travel #Qingdao market #China Qingdao #Places to visit in Qingdao #World travel

Qingdao has a market of more than 100 years. The name is like Shaolin Temple. Visitors come to eat seafood! Each tourist city has tourists who are keen on punching cards. Xi'an is Huimin Street and Yongxing Square. Chengdu is Kuanzhai Alley and Jinli. Shandong Qingdao is called Chai Chai. ? The partner's reaction is a bit exaggerated. It is a bit like the name of the courtyard of Shaolin Temple. When looking at the costume film, isn't Shaolin Temple always have some chopping people? is naturally not related to Shaolin Temple. It is located in the Zhongshan Road shopping district in Qingdao, Shandong Province. If it is not the entrance of the street, the sign of the 1962 of the Weichai Court, the average person does not point through the navigation, it is estimated that no To. Weichai Courtyard was built in 1902, nearly 120 years ago. It was called Jiangning Road in the early days. Because Jiangning is the old name of Nanjing, it is also the earliest "Nanjing Road" in Qingdao. This road is connected to Zhongshan in the shape of ab. Road, Beijing Road and Hebei Road are currently commercial pedestrian streets and are also food-based markets. The street is not wide, the tourists are not intensive, but some people come to check in, some people come to eat snacks, some people just come to take pictures and punch cards. As the old district of Qingdao, Weichai Courtyard has a profound historical heritage and is one of the attractions in the real sense. sells a wide variety of cooked foods, a variety of seafood is the first protagonist, grilled oysters, seafood shabu-shabu, sea urchin steamed eggs can be seen everywhere, in addition to hand-made dumplings, noodles, noodles and so on. As the capital of beer, beer is also one of the protagonists. Qingdao has exposed the problem of killing customers in the past. Is this still the case? I don't know exactly, but the price I went to was quite fair. All kinds of foods were clearly marked, and the stalls in Weichai were also the same. There are many old pubs and restaurants on the main street of Chai Chai. Other shops are not very eye-catching. They usually pass by and pass the name. A large number of small stores are concentrated in one kind, and it seems to be quite prosperous. The Chinese like this feeling of becoming a city. If there are only a few old stores in the sparse, there is no business. You can find a lot of authentic food in Weichai, such as Dezhou chicken, Fushan roast chicken, Nandu, and soy liver. Although the customers are mainly tourists, the locals are not all gone, just because the commercial atmosphere is strong, and the locals do not go much. is close to Zhejiang Road Catholic Church, Zhongshan Road, Yanglou Street, not far from the main attractions such as the trestle, and several places to travel together, basically can kill for a long time.

Located in Zhongshan Road in the old city of Qingdao, Weichai Courtyard is the window for most foreign tourists to learn about Qingdao cuisine. Almost every big city has a food street, and the locals are dismissive of it, but outsiders are rushing. If it is the first time to Qingdao, if you are not familiar with Qingdao, it is recommended to live in Zhongshan Road in the old city. It is a traditional commercial street in Qingdao. It is very convenient for transportation and accommodation. It is within walking distance of Qingdao Railway Station and Zhanqiao. There are many obvious buildings on this road. You can find many chic old houses on Zhongshan Road, most of which were built in the 1930s, many of which were former bank sites. After an intersection, I turned around and looked at two towering twin towers. This is a famous Catholic church on the Zhejiang road in Qingdao. Many local people are making wedding dresses here. There is another famous church in Qingdao called the Christian Church, which is not too far away. is on Zhongshan Road, this is a food street in Qingdao. Once in the evening, it will start to be lively. Tourists began to gather at the Weichai Court, and the merchants also opened their booths, and the tempting aroma did not know where to float. All kinds of barbecues are not bad all the year round. This is the most pristine way to eat seafood, and it is also a popular way to eat. Of course, here is not only the local cuisine of Qingdao, but also the food from all over the country and abroad.
