All original live photos🌊 The seagulls ate a whole bag of my fries. They are so smart, slowing down and hovering in place to catch! Walking from May Fourth Square to No.3 Bathing Beach, it's a leisurely stroll by the sea, passing by Haitian and even stopping by Tsutaya Bookstore (a unique seaside Tsutaya, the No.3 Bathing Beach is so comfortable on weekdays! Watching the world is a vast Qingdao

🪜 A new backdrop has been added here, and standing on the red spiral staircase to watch the sea view is really beautiful. My friend even asked if we had climbed up the winds of May, does it really look like that? 🚢 The cruise home port is definitely a great place for walking with kids, it's just a pity that it always seems to lack popularity. Coming here during holidays to avoid the crowds is a really good choice... Not only are there various cute backdrops made of containers, but there's also a children's playground, you can wait for the sunset on the top floor, run along the track by the sea, and some people are catching fish and crabs, just enjoying a comfortable and leisurely time.

Qingdao Itinerary Suitable for Slow Travelers (Three Days and Two Nights) Day1️⃣ 📍The first stop is the Qingdao Beer Museum, which is quite interesting. Just buy a regular ticket; there's no need for a guided tour ticket. Once inside, you'll encounter guides explaining exhibits here and there, so you can listen in if you're interested. Note that the museum stops admitting visitors at 4:30 PM. The ticket includes two beers; I found the first one bitter, but the second one was tasty, with a hint of sparkling water. Don't miss the beer-flavored ice cream—it's delicious! 📍We had planned to go to the Sea Love Park to watch the sunset, but the weather wasn't great, so we just wandered around. We had dinner at Wenjun Barbecue nearby, which was super delicious with rich meat juices. 📍Due to the bad weather, we skipped Little Wheat Island (if the weather is good, you can go there to watch the sunset, also known as Little Jeju Island) and went straight back to the area around May Fourth Square for a stroll. You can walk along the seaside to the Olympic Park to see the city's night view from afar! Day2️⃣ 📍After sleeping in, we took a taxi directly to Zhongpin Laofangzi Potstickers (Daoyao Store), which are incredibly tasty. I found out that 'sweet foam' is actually salty. 📍The Olympic Sailing Center boat tour offers a view of Qingdao's cityscape from the sea, with the first trip costing only 9.9 yuan! The boat goes from the Olympic Sailing Center to the Underwater World, and the endpoint is not far from Xilingxia Road, a super photogenic spot, also known as Little Kamakura. Walk all the way to Zhan Bridge scenic area (arriving around 10:30 AM is best), which is also great for taking photos. 📍Stroll to the Qingdao Catholic Church and experience the charm of German architecture. The church ticket is not expensive, but it doesn't seem necessary to go inside; taking photos at the entrance is sufficient. 📍After the visit, we dined at Haiyan Private Kitchen, which must be reserved a day in advance. Every dish is delicious, especially the super fresh and sweet mantis shrimp. 📍With our bellies full, we walked to Signal Hill Park. The main entrance is crowded and requires queuing, plus there's a climb. You can navigate directly to the north gate, where there's no queue or climb, and reach the viewing platform to overlook Qingdao's iconic red-roofed buildings. 📍The last stop is Qinyu Road, a great place to watch the sunset, with a beautiful S-curve and many people taking photos on the rocks. We had planned to go to the popular Wilder Coffee to stare at the sea, but both shops were too crowded. Luckily, the coffee shop at the corner of Qinyu Road also has good flavors! 📍In the evening, we went to Taidong Night Market and bought Qiusu from Shisan Bukao (strongly recommend the matcha dark chocolate and durian cheese flavors), ate seafood dumplings from Shuangheyuan, and the flavorful eggplant was super delicious—even those who don't like eggplant would find it tasty! Day3️⃣ 📍We went to Xiliuzhuang Market early in the morning to catch the big market, which is huge and full of locals. Fresh and cheap seafood and fruits abound. Live mantis shrimp cost 45 yuan per jin, mixed male and female; clams are 5 yuan per jin, and oysters as big as the palm of your hand cost 5-7 yuan each. We packed them up and took them on the plane. If you have time, you can also buy seafood and have it cooked at a local beer house to eat on the spot. Additionally, this market is a one-stop shop for Qingdao specialties, such as squid strips and fish slices, available in bulk or small packages. There's also a counter for Xiwang preserved egg and sausage, which is cheaper and of better quality than in the stores. The scales at the shops we visited were accurate, with no cheating.

However, sisters visiting in March must be cautious, because it's too cold, and the sea breeze is too strong Transportation routes: Airport: Jiaodong Airport High-speed rail: Qingdao Station - Qingdao North (preferred) Whether it's the airport or high-speed rail, both are connected to the subway, so the subway is the preferred mode of transportation.

Big Pot Steamed Seafood Stove Fish' all the seafood is freshly steamed, the taste is too fresh and delicious Note: Qingdao in March is still very cold, with a super strong sea breeze, be sure to bring a down jacket/thick coat Most scenic spots are just different angles to view the sea, so make sure to plan your tour route well (preferably choose to take a taxi, it's not easy to park if driving, and walking is definitely tiring)
