I landed in Qingdao at 8: 31 am on August 5th. It just rained outside, and the ground was wet and cool.

I want to come to Qingdao not only because there is sea here, but also because Fan Bingbing's song "Birds" many years ago, the MV shot in Qingdao, and the beautiful story left a deep influence on me. There are also "red tiles, green trees, blue sea and blue sky" publicized in recent years, which is fascinating.

After discussing with my daughter with a map, I decided to leave. As long as there is a city with a sea, my daughter (hereinafter replaced by the name "heart") is very happy.

Take the bus from the airport and get off at Zhongshan Road. It's completely two temperatures. The sun is shining and the temperature rises suddenly.

Book a hotel on Henan Road, not far from Zhongshan Road. Put down your luggage and check in. Go out and find a bus and start to play all day.

I went to May 4th Square and Olympic Sailing Center first, because there was no competition, and there were no wonderful scenes as expected. During the visit, Xin saw a sign that said Underwater World, and immediately decided to go to Underwater World. Although I think the underwater world in the whole country is similar, since it is "traveling with big hands and small hands", it is natural to respect children's wishes and preferences.

Look for a bus stop. We will never take a taxi where the bus can go.

There are herbarium, aquarium, freshwater fish museum and jellyfish museum in Underwater World. Children's interest in bidding for the museum is average. When passing through the cross-harbour tunnel, they hear many children's cries of "Wow, look". This close contact makes them very excited. Looking up at all kinds of fish, there will be a feeling that the fish are flying to the bottom of the sea, and they are all swimming in the air.

Coming out of the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, there is a performance hall outside. Maybe it's a matter of time. We didn't enjoy the performance, and our heart didn't want to wait to see it. She found it boring. Maybe she had seen other cities before, so it's better for her to make her own decisions. Continuing up to the second floor, I jumped into the eye of this cylindrical exhibition tank, where colorful fish and corals depend on each other, and the staff wearing diving suits are cleaning up those dirty rocks with small brushes.

In the peripheral exhibition area, beautiful and generous butterfly fish, elegant angelfish, playful and cute clown fish, strange-looking stickleback fish and naive cannonball fish ... all of these attract children's attention. Bringing children here is the most correct choice. If your child has never been to the polar museum, you can choose the ocean polar world, which has both underwater world and polar animals.

After coming out of Underwater World at four o'clock in the afternoon, we continued to watch the bus. We chose to go to the trestle. Tourists are weaving on the trestle, and the bridge body probes into the depths of Qingdao Bay from the coast. The trestle bridge was built in the 18th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, and it is the earliest military-specific artificial wharf building in Qingdao. There is a two-story octagonal building in the dike, which is named "Huilan Pavilion".

The sea water near the trestle is dirty, with coarse sand and many aquatic plants. There are jet skis and water pedal bikes here. In the evening, many people bought small buckets at the seaside to catch small crabs, shrimps, small conchs and so on, but they found two crabs the size of fingernails and a smaller snail, so small that I wouldn't notice them. She envied how others found everything so big, and what she found was small and few. It's getting dark, and we're going back. It's not far from where we live when we find out. We decided to walk around and go back for a walk. After a long walk, my heart suddenly said that she found the snail climbing all the time. She was afraid that it would climb out and die at night, saying that they missed the sea and their mother, and she was going to release it. Although I feel very tired after a day's work, I still accompany her back to release her to protect her love.

Badaguan is a scenic spot that best embodies the characteristics of Qingdao, such as "red tiles and green trees, blue sea and blue sky". The architectural style here is unique, which brings together many architectural styles from various countries, so it is known as the "World Architecture Expo".

The so-called Badaguan Pass is because there are eight roads (now it has increased to ten), which are named after the famous ancient pass in China. Ten quiet and cool roads crisscross, and now it is lush, and I imagine flowers blooming and cherry blossoms falling all over the ground in spring; Autumn frost dyed maple red and ginkgo floating yellow; In winter, it should be a different style.

This is a good place for walking, and there are people taking photos everywhere. This is also a residential area. Most of the courtyards are private, and the walls of the courtyards are covered with green vines. I can't help but think of the poems that "the eaves are straight and the curtains are blue, and the building is like deceiving the ground" and "the ground is covered with brocade, and the purple flowers are woven on the green velvet". These vines alternate, green plants, accompanied by buildings, through spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Between Lulu and Lulu, many public gardens, large and small, have been opened up according to the terrain. The park and the courtyard are perfectly integrated, with lush flowers and trees, fresh air, elegant environment, shady trees and lush foliage.

Badaguan has nearly 111 western-style villas with different shapes and unique and exquisite courtyard green spaces. The two most special scenic spots: Princess House and Huashi Villa. It is said that the Princess Building was built by a Danish prince for the princess, although the princess did not come to live there later. Do you feel the power of love? Do you think of Danish fairy tales?

Huashi Villa, where Chiang Kai-shek lived, is a typical European castle-style building with Gothic architectural features. Standing on the top of Huashi Villa, you can see the endless sea.

the second bathing beach is at the end of Badaguan. There are not many people here. There is a special dressing room and shower room, and one person is 31 yuan. The water is clear and the beach is flat, the sand is soft and the beach is clean. At about ten o'clock in the morning, the sea is still very cold, but the children are anxious to get into the water, but it is too sunny after noon, and they can only get into the water at this time or after three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Personally, I think 12-4 o'clock is too hot and the ultraviolet rays are too strong.

Xin likes the sea, and we didn't leave the beach, eat and go back to the hotel for lunch break until one o'clock.

After getting up, walk to Pichai Yuan, and feel the old street style, and at the same time, just go shopping and eat. It is said that this is the most distinctive food and snack street in Qingdao. There are many time-honored restaurants and local famous foods here, and people are buzzing at night, so you can indulge in it regardless of your image.

My heart and I have never had the courage to try sea urchins and starfish before, but this time we have the courage to eat them. Personally, sea urchin is ok, like steamed egg cake, starfish is really "fishy" and a little bitter, but as a foodie, everything that has not been eaten is worth a taste.

discuss with Xin er whether you can choose to take a one-day tour of Laoshan today. Xin didn't want to climb the mountain, so she chose to continue to soak in the sea. We went to the first bathing beach early in the morning, and the bus went directly.

the first bathing beach is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with green trees and green cages. The sea is blue and the water and sky are the same. It's bigger than the second bathing beach and there are more people. Especially many local people, they had already swam up when we went. Judging from the ancient tung-colored skin and groups of companions, it should be frequent swimming.

I'm tired of soaking in the sea, so I'll go back to my lunch break at noon. Zhongshan Road, which I visited in the afternoon, is a commercial street. The pattern of "offering foreign materials to the north and China" makes Chinese and western cultures merge here, forming this century-old street. Many small shops with characteristics, especially those literary and art shops near the Catholic Church, have captured the hearts of many girls. There are all photographers in front of the shops, and the shops are also tourists who choose trinkets.

My heart and I like this kind of shop, and we never let go of any one. It's already dark after the visit, and I'm bent on going to Xiangshan to see the night scene. Just ask the local people, someone showed us the way, stopped and asked, and after seven turns, we reached the mountain. The road up the mountain was dark, and we were both a little scared, afraid to stay, and climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath. There is a youth hostel and a meteorological station on the top of the mountain. It was during the German occupation and is still in use.

You can see the night view of the coastal area at the top of the mountain. Colorful lights have turned Qingdao into an ocean of light. The sea breeze is mixed with the cool and humid water vapor pavement of the ocean.

The temperature drops in the evening, and the city becomes more charming without the heat in the daytime. The lights looming in the distance are like stars embedded in ribbons, and the sea interweaves with the lights to draw a beautiful picture.

On the observation deck, only an old couple were enjoying the scenery, chatting enthusiastically with us and telling me that they could see the scenery clearly at sunset and take beautiful pictures. Pointing to all directions, I pointed out what is interesting and delicious. I also suggested that we go to Huangdao Golden Beach and have a Oktoberfest. I also asked about the beautiful food in Xi 'an. The old couple visited Xi 'an when they were young, which had a great influence on the mutton buns in Xi 'an. In this way, the four of us enjoyed the scenery, chatted and went down the mountain together. They lived halfway up the mountain (not far from the mountain). When you were separated from us, you showed us a way. Let's walk to the opposite side and take the bus.

I told my heart that I like chatting with these elderly local people very much. They have experienced many vicissitudes and experienced ups and downs with this city, and they have the deepest feelings. My heart actually analyzed from the aunt's eyes and words that she was a teacher. It's a pity that she didn't tell me her feelings until after the separation, and I didn't have a chance to verify them again.

Because I went up the mountain too late yesterday, I couldn't see it clearly in the dark. I got up early this morning, went out at six o'clock, and climbed the Xiangshan Mountain again. It's really different in the morning and evening. It rained a little in the middle of the night, the air was fresh, and cicadas sang birds all the way.

I saw wild flowers blooming by the roadside;

I saw a lady training her dog.

I saw henna blooming in front of the old house;

I saw that the flowers of okra were yellow.

I saw a middle school student practicing martial arts on the top of the mountain.

I saw St. Paul's Christian church at the foot of the mountain;

I saw the scenery of Qingdao with red tiles and green trees.

fortunately, I came again.

Back to the hotel, the child has got up and cleaned up. She wants to continue to go to the seaside. Today, instead of going into the water, we will go surfing on the beach. Then take a walk along the way, next to the bathing place is Luxun Park, and the park comes out from naval museum, China. When we bought tickets (tickets for 31 yuan/person), two little girls took the initiative to come up and asked if we needed to explain voluntarily. I saw the sign hanging on her chest saying "Little Volunteer". She might be nervous or not fully prepared. She stammered a few words and took out the manuscript to read. My heart and I listened carefully. It is very meaningful for children to participate in social practice, which deserves great praise.

then go to our last destination: daxue road.

Daxue Road was built after Germany occupied Qingdao. It was called "Ostpas Street" in Germany and "Dongguan Street" in local people. Qingdao University was opened in 1924, and it was changed to China Ocean University in 2112. It is the only road named after an institution of higher learning in Qingdao-Daxue Road.

Everything on University Road seems to be born purely for the sake of romance. There is no smell of economic prosperity here, but it is definitely not lacking in sentiment. Coffee bars stand next to the street or are hidden in the courtyard, which makes it look interesting. It is very comfortable to just walk into a house and sit and read books.

daxue road is hidden in the corner of the bustling city with the roar of vehicles. Quiet courtyard, strewn at random with flowers and plants, both small and fresh and playful and elegant.

beautiful iron gates and flower baskets at the entrance of the yard, chalkboards, all kinds of small and fresh. Along the yard, there are several outdoor tables, and the cat is playing or sleeping in the yard, which makes people forget the impetuousness and noise of the city in an instant.

When wandering along University Road, I came across two places worth visiting. One is "Lao She's Former Residence. Camel Xiangzi Museum" and the other is "Art Museum" not far away.

Let's talk about Lao She's former residence, which is full of books, materials, manuscripts, his experiences, posters of films, plays and TV plays made by his works, and so on. It will be very rewarding to read it carefully. My daughter just learned Lao She's Camel Xiangzi some time ago, so she is happy to share her views with me.

You only need to register with your ID card to enter the art gallery. There are four floors, each with different styles of works. I don't know art, but I still hope my children can see more in this place and learn to appreciate it quietly.

After coming out of the art gallery, my daughter still wanted to find a bookstore to read some books. Because we missed the plane on our previous trip and were afraid of traffic jams, we finally chose to go to the airport first. There are bookstores at the airport.

when my heart grows up, I basically listen to her when I go out. Of course, she will also take care of me. At the airport, I said to sleep, and she said, "I won't sleep, so you can sleep, lest you miss the plane again like last time." That time let us both remember the lesson. I wrote it in those embarrassing things on the road. /p/314f1da22e28? utm_campaign=hugo& utm_medium=reader_share& Utm_content=note

Don't expect to know a city overnight, and so does Qingdao. Its beauty needs to be savored slowly. Kang Youwei's remark that "I'm afraid of the ancient people's castle in the fairy mountain is not as good as it can be described in poetry" has become a symbolic comment on the island.

Finally, I'll give you a summary (I hope it will be useful to you):

1. Churches in Qingdao:

Both Catholic and Christian churches are solemn and simple, full of strong religious flavor, and I have seen three churches in this area I turned around. Personally, I don't think you should talk loudly when you go in the church, let alone take pictures.

2. Roads in Qingdao:

Most of them are named after place names, such as Hunan Road, Tianjin Road, Henan Road, Guangxi Road and Beijing Road. We live in Henan Road, not far from the railway station, Zhanqiao, Zhongshan Road and Pichai Yuan, and we can all walk. There is a bus to the seaside, which is very convenient.

3. Transportation in Qingdao:

Bus, tram and subway. But the bus is ring-shaped, so when you go, you may take this stop, but when you come back, you may not have this stop. Be sure to see it clearly.

note: when I went out in recent years, I found a problem. It is difficult to take a taxi at any city station, but it is usually done in five minutes with Didi, which is not expensive. We made a drip when we came back from the second bath.

4. People in Qingdao

People in Qingdao are very enthusiastic and down-to-earth. One of my favorite things to do is to open my mouth and ask people while walking. Even a roadside vendor is busy, he will answer you while he is busy. When he asks the bus driver on the bus, the people next to him will listen and patiently tell us which stop to take, what to have, which to swim first and which to turn to, and the couple he met on the mountain.

5. Is the seawater in Qingdao clean?

This is the question that people ask me the most, and then it seems as a reference before considering whether to go or not. My general answer is the same: "The places that I haven't been to are worth seeing, and the things that I haven't eaten are worth tasting. Whether it is clean or not depends on where you compare it with the sea. You have to compare it with Maldives and Phuket. Of course, I feel unclean. Compared with domestic ones, the sea water in China is similar, unless some toll islands in Hainan are really clean. This depends entirely on personal cognition.

6. How much did it cost to go to Qingdao?

I'm not the kind of person who has to be gluttonous for food and five-star accommodation, and I'm not the kind of person who flaunts that I have spent very little money on many places. I just try my best to help myself.
