Surfing In Qingdao
We specifically went to Qingdao to try our hand at surfing and let me tell you it was fantastic! We went through a company called North Surf on 1st Bathing Beach in Shinan district, Qingdao and had an excellent coach named Mi. He was chill and brought such a good vibe to our first surfing lesson. By the end of the lesson we were standing on the board and ready for bigger waves. I enjoyed this experience so much I’ll be going back before the end of the summer🤟🏽🤟🏽

Yantai on November 22! Once again, it is stunningly beautiful!
📍Location: No. 1 Bathing Beach. Anyone who discovers this place is a genius with a unique eye. It's perfect for taking photos, especially with those cartoon-like clouds. The scenery is breathtaking.
The temperature by the sea is still very low, so remember to wear warm down jackets to avoid freezing your hands.
You can also feed the seagulls here, which is an activity I particularly enjoy. Seagulls have a special fondness for bread and will circle around you, calling incessantly, or frolicking on the beach.
Occasionally, you may encounter newlyweds taking wedding photos, adding a touch of romance to the sea. And those winter swimmers are truly courageous.
To witness these cartoon-like clouds, they usually appear after windy weather. The clouds by the sea are most enchanting in the afternoon, but the sky starts to darken around 4 pm, so the best time to enjoy and take photos is between 2:30 pm and 3:30 pm when the sunlight is just right.

7:30 AM on Qingdao Qinyu Road
Internet-famous bench, filming location of 'When I Run to You'—the lonely tree. There aren't many people at 7:30 AM, no need to queue, and the weather isn't too hot.
S-bend, Lu Xun Park is right next door. Don't come in the afternoon, it's crowded. Mornings are very friendly.
The first beach saw the love tree. It's also great for taking photos and checking in, but it's a bit hot, so be mindful of heatstroke.
Tip: Chatting with the taxi drivers here, I asked them where to have fun at night. They said there's not much nightlife here, people go to bed early. I asked what time they sleep, and they said they sleep late, at 10 PM...
Well, 10 PM is considered late for them.
In Qingdao, I sincerely suggest everyone go to bed early and get up early because it gets light early here, and there's not much nightlife at night.

Qingdao First Bathing Beach | Only I missed the Love Tree
| Only I missed the Love Tree. It was only when I looked back at the photos of Qingdao that I realized I didn't capture the Love Tree 🌲
But the First Bathing Beach has more worthwhile spots to check in 🙈
I still don't quite understand how this tree became an internet-famous spot hhhhhh 😜
I've been to almost all the beaches in Qingdao
The First Bathing Beach was our first stop in Qingdao
It's also my favorite beach
The entire beach is crescent-shaped
The sand is wide and fine 🏖️
If you arrive at sunset
You can be embraced by the stunning evening glow 🌇
❗Tips for visiting the First Bathing Beach❗

👇🏻Some knowledge about Qingdao First Bathing Beach👇🏻
🌊Qingdao First Bathing Beach, formerly known as Huiquan Bathing Beach, was built in 1901. It is located in Huiquan Bay in the eastern part of the city, crescent-shaped, wide and flat, with no hidden reefs or whirlpools. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, lush with green trees, and modern high-rise buildings are cleverly combined with traditional red-tiled buildings, making the scenery very beautiful.
🌊What many people don't know is that a hundred years ago, this place was where local fishermen moored their boats and dried their nets. After the German occupation of Qingdao, it was developed into a bathing beach. Germany also heavily promoted it in Japan, Hong Kong, and other places, making the First Bathing Beach quite famous in Asia at that time.
I am Zhang Xibin 💕.
I only record the places I've been to.
Plant flowers in your heart 🌷, and life will not be barren.
I hope you love this world as much as I do.

Cool and fresh breeze from the sea. Qingdao No. 1 Bathing is a must place to visit when in Qingdao!
This is beach is right outside the Huiquan Dynasty Hotel where we stayed. A very popular destination in Qingdao. There are boat rides, inflatables for rent or if you like just casually playing in the sand is fun. A perfect place for a family to let children enjoy 😉.#familytrip

A perfect day!! 😚
.
💙 Taiping Mountain Cableway
For sisters coming to the cableway, navigate to the southeast gate of Zhanshan Temple
After arriving, don't rush to buy tickets, walk to the left
There is a small gate in the place with many metasequoias, go directly in
Don't rush to buy the Zhanshan Temple ticket, you can go directly to the cableway without going to Zhanshan Temple!
The scenery of the cableway is really good, there are several photo spots along the way
But there are also voice prompts 🔔 just pay attention to posing
.
💙 First Bathing Beach
There are quite a lot of people here, so the quality of the beach and seawater is not very good
It was foggy that day, and the photos came out gray 😶🌫️
There are many cafes along the coast ☕️
Recommend Duyai Cafe! Across the road is the sea
Both outdoor and indoor locations are very good for taking pictures 🎬
The overall style is minimalist ins style 🌴
.
💙 Shanhaiguan Road
Walk along the coastline of the First Bathing Beach and you will reach it
There are many internet-famous plants in Qingdao, pine trees 🌲
The light and shadow of the trees in the afternoon here are particularly beautiful ✨
.
💙 Wilder Cafe & Lonely Tree
This window view is really popular, it feels like at least an hour of queuing
Except for the bar, all other seats need to queue for a number
Ordered a cinnamon latte and carrot cake 🥕
The coffee is average, the cake is quite good 😋
The store is relatively noisy because there are many people taking photos
There are also commercial shoots changing clothes 😅
If you just want to have a cup of coffee and look at the sea, this place is not necessary 🙅
.

Also near the First Bathing Beach
When I arrived, I found it was just a lonely tree
It feels like being tricked into taking pictures hahaha

It's similar to the Bai Causeway in Hangzhou

Take a stroll along the coastal greenway from Qingdao's first to second bathing beach
Qingdao's seaside is unique, with less than 1 kilometer from the first bathing beach at Huiquan Bay along the coastal greenway to the second bathing beach, yet the scenery is enchanting. Everywhere seems to invite you to stop and take photos. Over a hundred years ago, when Qingdao was occupied by Germany, the bathing beach was established here because of the bay's winding shape, fine sand, and gentle slope. It was also Qingdao's first bathing beach. Walking from the shore into the water for more than 10 meters, the water is only chest-deep, and only after 20 meters can one be fully submerged. Even non-swimmers can frolic in the water within 10 meters, which locals call 'sea bathing.' On a summer day, soaking in the sea, teaching children to swim, having swimming competitions in groups, or drinking beer after swimming to the shark net (a protective facility of the bathing beach against sharks) is so comfortable.
The west side of the bathing beach, from north to south, the mountains slope from high to low. The pavilions of Xiaoyushan Park, the red tiles hidden among the greenery, and further away, the 'red mushroom' on Signal Hill can be seen. The extension of the mountains reveals the seaside park: Lu Xun Park. Looking out to the sea, Huangdao is within sight, and ships entering and leaving the port can be seen... Blue sky, white clouds, red tiles, green trees, bays, beaches, and endless tourists.
The second bathing beach has a pond with blooming lotuses right after entering the main gate, which grow in freshwater; less than a hundred meters away is the salty sea water, showing a glimpse of nature's magic.
Along the way, the villas on Huanwan Road by the sea, most of the buildings have a sign at the entrance: National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit. The famous Qingdao scenic spot: Badaguan Scenic Area is already included here. Marshal Building, Butterfly Building... all for your photography.
Passing by the former Nautical School on Nanhai Road, a wedding sign on the roadside attracted us, 'Welcome to our wedding.' We entered the wedding venue by the sea and took a photo, what a blissful couple: the sea and sky bear witness, hand in hand for a century.

At the First Bathing Beach in Qingdao, I found a lonely tree
Old Qingdao has eight major bathing beaches, and the First Bathing Beach is the earliest one.
This world-famous bathing beach located by Huiquan Bay was once a summer resort for locals and tourists from home and abroad.
The First Bathing Beach is relatively large in size and well-located, close to Xiaoyushan. You can also see the pavilion in Xiaoyushan Park on the hill from the beach.
Between the mountain and the sea, there is a wonderful feeling.
Every summer, the beach is crowded with people, like dumplings. If you like lively places, this is a good choice, but the sand here is a bit rough compared to the Second Bathing Beach.
As the weather cools down, the beach becomes less crowded.
On the beach, I found a lonely tree.
The tree stretches out from the beach, providing a patch of green shade.
It's suitable for taking photos with a sense of loneliness.
Find a place on the beach, sit down, and listen to the sound of the waves, which has a healing power.
📍Detailed address:
14 Nanhai Road, Shinan District, Qingdao
🚉Travel strategy:
You can take bus No. 26, 31, 202, etc. from the city and get off at 'Bathing Beach'; or take the subway and get off at 'Huiquan Square' and walk 500 meters

🌟Tips:
1️⃣Badaguan is more suitable for going in the morning, especially on weekday mornings, people gradually increase after the morning
2️⃣Badaguan ticket area: Princess Building, Spanish Style Pavilion, Butterfly Building, each 20, pass 50. Huashi Building buys tickets separately
3️⃣If you want some exotic cuisine, I recommend Silver Fish Alley, there are many Korean restaurants~
4️⃣If you have enough time, you can spend half a day going to Fish Singing Mouth in Huangdao, the taxi is a bit expensive but it's really better than the city bathing beach! You can rest and have afternoon tea next to it;
5️⃣You can go to May Fourth Square to see the light show at night, if you don't like the light show, it's also very comfortable to take a walk nearby;
6️⃣If you go to every street in the Badaguan Scenic Area, it will be more tiring, you can go to all, or you can choose a few favorite roads to stroll around, Linhaiguan Road is also worth visiting!
The Culinary Pilgrim
I visited Qingdao four times in a year for these 18 places
Xiaoyushan: Red tiles and green trees, city view + sea view all in one, it only takes a minute or two to walk to the top, the classic position overlooks the first sea bathing place.
Signal Hill: One of the sunset viewing spots, there is also a popular 'cliff' photo spot, positioning the north gate is more labor-saving, if time allows, there is no need to choose between it and Xiaoyushan, go to both.
Second Sea Bathing Place: The end of May is the most beautiful time for the second bath (self-proclaimed), no green algae, the sea is clear and turbulent, you can take the same kind of dam end as the ghost. It's very wide, and you can also take cliff effect on the rocks.
Xiaomaidao: It is recommended to go to the island before 10 o'clock in the morning on a sunny day, the sparkling diamond sea, there are many popular photo spots that are very photogenic, and it is also one of the best sunset viewing spots.
First Sea Bathing Place: The volleyball old man by the sea is too healing! The most lively sea bathing place, it's very happy to watch the locals swim and play ball.
Lu Xun Park: It's really underestimated, sandwiched between the first bath and Qinyu Road, it's a holy place to cross the road and blow the sea breeze.
Qinyu Road: Morning, rainy day, sunset each has its own flavor, don't take this as a scenic spot, it's just a road. Nearby is my favorite Wilde, in front of Wilde's door is the lonely tree. You can go up the reef to take pictures.
Xiaoqingdao: The heart of Lu Xun in the first bath (the end of Qinyu Road is Xiaoqingdao Park. There is a long straight road at the entrance, you can turn up to the high platform, the pavilion and the 'coconut tree' inside are old popular photo spots, you can also watch the sunset.
Xiling Gorge Road: A moody intersection that can also produce pictures on cloudy days! There is also a bus to the sea next door, the lens has language, the expressiveness here is very good.
Zhanqiao: Just stroll over from Xiling Gorge Road, there are seagulls from Siberia in winter, it's worth a look. (A lot of people)
Fushan Forest Park: A relatively niche urban park, positioned at the west gate, it is more convenient to go up the trestle. The mountain and the sea depend on each other, and there is also the blessing of the city view, a sunset viewing spot, and it is also the 'City of Love' at night.
Catholic Church: In addition to faith, those who like to take pictures can look through the residential buildings I went to before, otherwise it's optional.
Olympic Sailing Center: Together with Lovers Dam, like the Haiyuan Park in Weihai, I have no feeling for the square sea, there is a delicious steam seafood nearby.
Yan'er Island Park: The two times I went were cloudy and road repairs, I really can't recommend it, Xiaomaidao is more worth it.
Jinmao Bay: It is also a classic sunset viewing spot, but it is not popular, if you want to go to the mall to eat or stay nearby, it is very wide view.
