The airport is located in Chengyang District, a suburb of Qingdao, about 35 kilometers away from the city center. The taxi fare is about 70 to 80 yuan. The bus station is in sifang district, and the square is the old city. There are basically no scenic spots. The train is the most convenient. When you leave the railway station, you will find the sea, next to which is the representative scenic spot of Qingdao: trestle bridge. If your luggage is relatively simple, you can travel directly without stopping. Friends on the road, please note that the road conditions in Qingdao are very poor, the roads are rugged and complicated, and there are many one-way streets. It is very difficult for foreigners to drive in Qingdao, because most roads are inclined, so Qingdao locals don't ask for directions, but use front, back, left and right.
Here are some representative scenic spots for your reference. Starting from the railway station, the tourist sequence of the first-line scenic spots along the coast from west to east is as follows:
A railway station: There are many people soliciting customers for hotels and scenic spots at the gate. I advise you not to attend. I won't say more about the reasons, but I want to remind some young people who have just graduated that they will encounter similar lottery, lottery, free ride, meeting, amulet and chess endgame. . . Wait, don't participate, remember.
B: Trestle (free): the symbol of Qingdao. You must see it. Built in 1892, it is the oldest wharf in Qingdao. There are many people bathing in the sea next to the trestle. Most local people don't wash there, and the water quality is too poor.
C: Bichai Garden (free): It is located in Zhongshan Road, Qingdao, not far from the trestle bridge. Zhongshan Road is also a symbol of ancient Qingdao. If time permits, you can go and see it. Bichai Garden has some special snacks, open-air barbecue, seafood stalls and so on. There is a performance when eating in Jiangning clubhouse, but I don't usually go there to eat. I feel the price and taste are not satisfactory, hehe.
D Tianhou Palace (free), built to worship Mazu, where you can burn incense and worship Buddha and make a fortune. Tour groups usually go there. You can go in and have a stroll when you have time, but please pay attention to the fragrance, which is very expensive.
E: I haven't been to naval museum (the fare is 80), so I don't comment.
F: Luxun Park (free) is next to the underwater world scenic spot, with trees, rocks, sea and wind. Personally, I think the scenery is good.
G: The Underwater World (Datong Pass 120) contains some specimens of marine animals, such as mermaid performance, and people and sharks dance together. I've been there several times, and then I won't go to the underwater world when I have the polar ocean world.
H: Baths: There are many baths in Qingdao, such as Bath 1, Bath 2, Shilaoren and Golden Beach. The first bathing place is famous, with big beaches and handsome guys and beautiful women, but there are many tourists, dense population, muddy water and a fly in the ointment. Bathroom number two is not far from bathroom number one. In the scenic Badaguan Scenic Area, Bath 2 is relatively small, but with a dam, the safety factor is the highest. Then there is Shilaoren Beach in Laoshan District. Because it is far from the city center, the beach and water quality are much better in all aspects. Friends who climb Laoshan Mountain can consider taking a bath there. There is also Golden Beach Bathing Beach, because it is in Xuejiadao District, which is far from Qingdao, so I won't introduce it. However, the evaluation there is high, and you can go there when you have time.
1. Badaguan (free of charge): It is known as the World Architecture Museum, with green trees and red bricks, blue sea and blue sky, quiet, elegant, beautiful and quiet. It is a must-see place for Qingdao people to take wedding photos and a good place to fall in love. But I personally feel that there are just many trees. Maybe I have no taste, hehe.
J Zhongshan Park (free): The largest comprehensive park in Qingdao, which was forcibly rented by the Germans when Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China and turned into a botanical garden. Later, after Japan took over Germany, tens of thousands of cherry blossoms were transplanted from Japan, so there was a cherry blossom festival in spring, enjoying cherry blossoms and watching lanterns, which was very lively. Later, it was renamed Zhongshan Park to commemorate the revolutionary martyr Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Now the park is still dominated by plants, and some children's playgrounds are more lively.
K Music Square (free): The whole square is based on music and has a good background music. Adjacent to May 4th Square, I won't introduce it in detail.
L May 4th Square (free): Located in front of Qingdao Municipal Government, facing the sea in the south. It was named after the May 4th Movement. There is a landmark building "May Wind" in the square, which looks like a torch. In addition, there are some fountains in the square, such as the 100-meter fountain at sea. May 4th Square is a very interesting place, and I like it better.
M Olympic Sailing Base: It used to be Qingdao Beihai Shipyard. After the 2008 Olympic Games, it was converted into a sailing competition base. It is connected with May 4th Square. You can go and have a look. I heard that there is a dream sea view performance (the fare is unclear), but I haven't seen it yet.
Polar Ocean World (Datong 180), because I often take my friends to Qingdao and have been there several times, I like their animal performances, including dolphins, sea lions, great white whales and walruses. . . Every time I watch their performances, I am very moved. Personally, I feel better than the performance of Underwater World.
O Beer City (tickets are cheap, and will be consumed separately): Beer City is only interesting at Oktoberfest, so you don't have to go there at ordinary times. Oktoberfest should start on the second weekend of August every year and last for about ten days. 20 12 years, it should be August 1 1 to August 26th. Only a few days ago, of course. This is the largest beer festival in Asia, and there will be drinking competitions, cultural performances and other entertainment projects. Pay attention to the entertainment projects of the whole amusement park.
P Shilaoren National Tourist Resort (free), there is a 17-meter-high stone pillar offshore, which looks like an old man, hence the name. It is worth mentioning that the Shilaoren bathing beach is fresh and the beach is soft and endless, which is very good.
Q Laoshan Scenic Area (current fare 130): a national five-level scenic spot, known as "the first mountain on the sea" and a fairyland on earth. Now you have to take the bus in the mountain to go to Laoshan. The fare is 40 yuan, and the scenic spot ticket, 90 yuan, is *** 130. You can take the southern line up the mountain. There is a Taiqing Palace on the mountain, which is said to have been built in the Western Han Dynasty. In addition, there is the North Jiushui Line. I feel very general about Laoshan Mountain. The mountain is too small to finish in a few hours. The biggest feeling is that there are more boulders. Ha ha.
The above is only a part. In addition, if there is enough time, there are still some places worth seeing, such as Little Qingdao, Tianmucheng Street, TV Sightseeing Tower, Signal Mountain and Old Christian Church. . . . . . . . Wait a minute.
The above scenic spots are concentrated in the coastal line. There are many tourist buses along the coastal line, which is very convenient to take. Moreover, there is a wooden plank road along the coast, which can go directly from the west to the easternmost point (except Laoshan District). July, August and September are the tourist season in Qingdao every year, and entertainment projects in most scenic spots such as Underwater World, Zhongshan Park and Beer City have to queue for a long time. Please get ready.
Let's briefly introduce the place to eat. The place to eat near the railway station should be Bichai Garden and the barbecue next to Sifang Road. A little further, you can go to Beer Street and Tianmucheng Street, not far from the railway station, and you can get there by taxi. There is also the most popular place in Qingdao, Taitung Night Market, where you can go, eat, wear, live and play at night. The night market is very big and lively. Friends in the east of Shinan District (near May 4th Square) can go to the clouds. In the evening, there is a bar street next to it, where the catering industry is relatively concentrated. Of course, these places are expensive because of the names of tourists, so they are not very affordable. If you want to eat cheaply, just find a small restaurant on the roadside far from the scenic spot. The specialties of eating in Qingdao are seafood, clams, scallops, conch, local yellow croaker, blackhead fish, dental chips, shrimps and crabs, etc. If the economic conditions are good, it is recommended to go to some high-end hotels, such as Old Boatman, Yiqinglou Seafood Big Mac, Liangyou Hotel, Sunshine Holiday Hotel, Haimengyuan, Li Yong, etc., which are all top-class pure catering high-end hotels with first-class food, first-class service and, of course, first-class price.
As for shopping, the specialties commonly sold in Qingdao's major scenic spots are nothing more than pearl necklaces, pearl powder (said to be beautiful), shell bracelets, shell decorations, all kinds of dried seafood, Laoshan green tea and so on. . . I'd like to introduce you to a good place, Jimo Road Wholesale Market in Shibei District, where you can wholesale products sold by various scenic spots. Of course, it depends on whether you can bargain. Having said that, I want to add an episode. The author of this article, that is, I, opened a magic shop in NO. A 10- 12, Fudi Shopping Mall opposite Jimo Road Wholesale Market, to learn two-handed magic. Hehe, I remember when I just graduated, in order to earn more money, I often went to the seaside to set up stalls, during which I met my friend Xiao Liu, who had a disabled leg. Urban management and XX strengthen law enforcement on scenic spots, and urban management is unrestrained. Everyone knows that small shells are often taken away and can't be done anymore. Xiao Liu wants to attract customers to some tourist attractions and earn a few small money by selling tickets. In the tourist season, the ticket price of scenic spots is not discounted, and selling a ticket to the polar regions or the seabed will earn a few dollars. However, if everyone gathers firewood, I hope that friends who have read this article will go to the underwater world or the polar ocean world. You can find Xiao Liu, call 15854230006, pick up the bus for free, and pay the scenic spot tickets (Underwater World Pass 120, Polar Ocean World Pass 180). Frankly speaking, this article is written for Primary Six. I hope everyone can take good care of Xiao Liu's business and give away roses and lingering fragrance.
Let's get down to business. There are more than a dozen five-star hotels in Qingdao, especially Seaview Garden and Shangri-La. There are countless four-star and three-star hotels and business hotels, but most rooms in Qingdao hotels are fully booked in July, August and September every year. Therefore, if you plan to stay in a star-rated hotel, you'd better book a room through some big well-known travel websites (Ctrip, E Long, etc.). ) come again, or you will book a room when you come. The price may be very high, or even there is no room to book (the hotel's house price is generally divided into the agreed price with major travel agencies, the business cooperation price of the hotel's own big customers, and the individual price at the front desk, which varies greatly. If you book a room directly at the front desk as an individual, it may be higher than the price booked through a travel agency). It is best not to buy by group. Many group purchase prices are excuses and cannot be used. Family inns around the train station may cost one or two hundred yuan a night. If you really can't book a room, you can stay in a hotel far from the railway station, Shibei District or sifang district. The price is low and the room is cost-effective. If it really doesn't work, you have to go to the bath center. Bathing centers in Qingdao are still very popular. You can take a bath+pedicure+head and shoulder massage+rest in the hall for the night for twenty or thirty yuan. This is a big deal, but it is always a place of right and wrong. It is best not to go to unfamiliar places. Hehehe, the last resort is to camp by the sea. Of course, you can't just sleep on the beach. You can bring your own tent, which is romantic and economical. Need to be reminded that Qingdao's
To sum up, there are several things you shouldn't forget when you come to Qingdao, such as taking a sea bath, eating seafood, drinking draft beer, going to the seaside and buying some souvenirs such as pearls, shells, dried seafood and green tea. If you encounter any trouble during your trip, you can call the Tourism Bureau's complaint telephone number: 1230 1. If no one answers, they have two other hotlines.
Below, upload a picture of my own scenic spots and shopping. I marked all the scenic spots and shopping places mentioned above, and it was clear at a glance.
Finally, I wish the friends who come to Qingdao have a good time and a pleasant journey. Don't forget to give me extra points. Haha, please look at the picture below. Click to view a larger image.
