Qingdao Trip: A Parent-Child Experience Dancing with the Ocean

Qingdao Trip: A Parent-Child Experience Dancing with the Ocean Last June, my family and I spent an unforgettable three days and two nights in Qingdao. We took our children and enjoyed a leisurely and unhurried itinerary. To make the trip both fulfilling and relaxing, we chose a comfortable hotel located in the city center, close to popular attractions, ensuring the children had ample rest and we could conveniently explore this beautiful city. For accommodation, we opted for a convenient express hotel within walking distance to Qingdao Station, Zhan Bridge, and the Catholic Church, among other famous landmarks. The convenient transportation and comprehensive surrounding facilities made our travel easy and enjoyable. Our travel methods were diverse and flexible, combining subway, taxi, and bus, choosing the most suitable transportation according to the destination. Below is our exciting itinerary: Day One: We set off from Changzhou and headed straight to the hotel upon arriving in Qingdao, then went to the Olympic Sailing Center to experience the charm of sailing. At dusk, we strolled to Lover's Dam, where the pink sunset, clear seawater, and outgoing sailboats created a moving scene. As the melodies of a resident singer drifted in the breeze, the atmosphere became incredibly romantic. As night fell, we also enjoyed a stunning light show, which captivated both adults and children alike. Day Two: Early in the morning, we arrived at the filming location of 'The Best of Us' - Badaguan, and despite the crowds, we still found a great spot by the sea for photos. We walked along Xilingxia and captured many beautiful moments. Then we visited reef coffee, where the view was fantastic, allowing us to enjoy coffee and scenery simultaneously, perfect for relaxation. Next, we headed to the Third Beach, where the sand was clean, the water clear, and the tourists relatively few, making it an ideal place for the children to play to their heart's content. Day Three: On the last day, we drove to Qinyu Road, enjoying the freedom along the S-shaped bay road. The roadside rocks were scattered in an orderly fashion, as if we were in a foreign land. We also tried the local delicious ice cream, cool and sweet, putting a perfect end to our journey. Although the short trip has ended, the endless seascapes and romantic atmosphere of Qingdao will forever remain in our memories. One day, we will set foot on this land again and continue our unfinished adventure.
