My friends thought I teleported to Italy, but I was actually in Qingdao. |||

|||. I often hear that the old buildings in Qingdao have a European Prague vibe. However, in Shazikou, next to Laoshan, I came across a dreamy beach that looks like the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Standing on the coast, looking at the cliff on the opposite hillside, the colorful houses are closely connected, as if God had knocked over a palette. Flocks of Siberian seagulls soar freely over the beach, their white figures contrasting with the clear blue sky and white clouds. The waves gently kiss the beach, like a scene from an Italian movie. At low tide, many people go to the shallows to explore the treasures left by the sea. Some people stroll and play on the beach, enjoying the laziness and comfort. Time seems to slow down here. 📍Address: Shazikou Square, 109 Laoshan Road, Laoshan District ⓂTransportation: Take Metro Line 4 to Shazikou Station, Exit C, and walk for about 10 minutes. 🎫Tickets: Free ⏰Travel tips: It is recommended to visit in the morning or after 4 pm. When the sun rises or sets, the golden light falls on the colorful houses, outlining a charming silhouette. The whole picture is beautiful. After the tide recedes in the morning, a large area of the shallows will be exposed. At this time, the background is richer, and the picture has a strong sense of hierarchy, making it easy to take beautiful photos. 📷Photography tips: A telephoto lens is needed. If you are shooting on the beach on the opposite side, the focal length of the lens should be at least 200mm to capture the distant scenery. If you are shooting on the hiking trail on one side, a focal length of 70-200 is more suitable to capture wonderful moments from different angles.
