Next stop: Qingdao!

I was really impressed by this city! I decided to go on a whim 🚶‍♀️, and as soon as I got off the train, I headed straight to Zhanqiao Pier. The sea and sky merged seamlessly on the horizon 🌊, and the octagonal pavilion at the end of the pier was breathtakingly beautiful in the sunlight ☀. Flocks of seagulls soared freely 🕊, creating a healing scene!   After strolling along the coastline for a while, I arrived at Badaguan. The European-style buildings stood in rows 🏰, with red tiles and green trees against the blue sea and sky. The scenery was amazing, and any photo taken here could easily dominate your social media!   As I wandered around, I got hungry and headed straight to Dechao Seafood Qingdao Cuisine, a favorite among locals. It was definitely the right choice!   🥘 The signature sea urchin tofu was so fresh that the aroma hit me as soon as it was served. Each bite was incredibly tender, and the freshness was so intense that it felt like my eyebrows were falling off. It was so satisfying!   🐟 The deep-sea flounder head in a clay pot was visibly fresh, with tender fish that melted in my mouth. The taste was indescribable, simply amazing!   The owner and staff were incredibly friendly, making me feel like I was dining at home. If you're traveling to Qingdao, don't miss this hidden gem!
