Qingdao is a famous seaside tourist city, clean and pleasant, with a slow pace and mature scenic spots, which is very suitable for self-help travel. Two days is enough for visiting the main attractions. One day in the city, one day in Laoshan. Others can be arranged freely. The best time to travel is midsummer, of course, but going to Qingdao at the end of the year will be another flavor.
the first day: zhanqiao park, Luxun park, No.1 bathing beach, Badaguan scenic spot, May 4th Square, Shilaoren bathing beach and other major tourist attractions are connected in series to form a unique seaside landscape gallery. Therefore, it is enough to arrange a day here. If there is still time left, you can wander around, which is also very leisurely.
The next day: Go straight to Laoshan. At present, there are four sightseeing routes in Laoshan, including three by land (south line, east line and middle line) and one by water.
South Line: From Hong Kong East Road or Donghai East Road to the east via Shazikou, Dengying, flowing through the Qinghe River to Taiqing Palace, mainly visiting Taiqing Scenic Area. If time permits, you can go to Shangqing Scenic Area or Jufeng Scenic Area again. You can also go to the Chessboard Stone Scenic Area. This tour route is close, and you can see several famous scenic spots, and you can easily go back and forth on the same day.
it's very convenient to take the tourist bus or bus 114, 113 and 314 to visit this line, which can reduce the fatigue of mountaineering.
East Line: Starting from Licun, Licang District, first turn north to east, and after blessing, Wanggezhuang will mainly visit Yangkou Scenic Area. If the departure time is early in the morning, the tour schedule is tight and there is more time left, you can visit Qipanshi Scenic Area to the south or go straight to Taiqing Scenic Area and return from the south line.
according to the number of people in the same trade, you can tour the main scenic spots on the eastern and southern lines in one day by taking a bus or a taxi. If you take buses 123, 312 and 116, you can only visit the East Line.
Middle Line: It also starts from Licun, Licang District, turns east via Beilongkou, and goes to Beijiushui Scenic Area via Beizhai and Wuyi Lane. If time permits, this line can visit Hualou Scenic Area on the way; You can also drive through Liushutai to climb the Giant Peak, and walk through the Chaoyin Waterfall to reach the Giant Peak. From Dalaoguan, you can transfer to Yangkou Scenic Area. You can take a taxi or take bus 117, 111, 311 and 365 to get there.
Eat: Don't crowd in the food stalls by the sea
It's most important to eat out. With the arrival of the tourist season in Qingdao, the hotels on the front line of Qianhai have also ushered in a golden period. I suggest you don't crowd in the food stalls by the sea, and you'd better choose some local fishermen's music. Because it is opened by local people, the taste is definitely authentic. Secondly, the price is definitely very reasonable. There are chocolate fishermen who often go there. The cooking taste is not worse than that of famous seafood hotels in urban areas, or even better. Then there is the former Wangyuan fishing village, which also eats seafood and is very distinctive.
tips: it's best to order meals slightly wrong. There are many tourists in the tourist season. If everyone rushes to lunch at noon, the hotel will be overcrowded, so you don't have to spend too much time waiting for the wrong meal. Coastal first-line hotels have long business hours, so tourists don't have to worry about not having food at the meal.
Stay: With the arrival of tourist season, the business of Island City Hotel is booming. Small hotels are relatively cheap, and business hotels are more cost-effective, but it is difficult to book rooms during Oktoberfest in advance.
during the Oktoberfest, most rooms in family hotels can't be reserved. The prices of business hotels and star-rated hotels are also different in the tourist season. In five-star hotels, the current price of Shangri-La is 2451 yuan plus 15% service charge. Reservations can be accepted during Oktoberfest, but the price has not been fixed. The prices of star-rated hotels such as Courtyard by Marriott Eagle Valley, Litian and Dongfang are around six or seven hundred yuan; Home Inn, Hanting and other hotel chains are priced at around 311-411 yuan. Some rooms during the Oktoberfest have been fully booked, while others have not been booked during the Oktoberfest.
