Qingdao is a very modern coastal city with a highly developed economic base. Everything here shows people's nostalgia and longing for a modern life. You will appreciate the different cultural charm of Qingdao. Here are some detailed strategies to share with you.
It's another trip. I'm going to a comfortable place this time. Qingdao is famous for its crisp autumn and few tourists. It's really the best time to visit. Although you can't go to the sea, there are too many places to visit in Qingdao, so the five-day trip is also full.
Day 1: Wusi Square
Punch in Wusi Square and walk along Wusi Square until you reach the Olympic Sailing Center and Lover Dam. Because it was the last day of the National Day, I was lucky enough to see the National Day theme light show at night, which was amazing! Perfect day. These places are so close that you can spend half a day visiting them. Don't rush, it's also very comfortable to sit on the lover's dam and blow the sea breeze.
The next day, Yaner Bird Mountain Park, Signal Mountain and Liangyou Bookstore
Route: Yaner Bird Island Park-former site of German prison-Liangyou Bookstore-Signal Mountain-Taitung Night Market
Yaner Bird Mountain Park:
Yaner Bird Mountain Park is highly recommended, which is a very comfortable beach in Qingdao, very literary and Japanese. There are many pieces here. Go out of the old German prison and go straight to Signal Mountain. You won't charge tickets after 6 o'clock. It's all on foot, and it's very close. After watching the sunset, I waited until the city lights up and saw a night view.
But the sunrise and night view seen in Xiaoyu Mountain are more beautiful. After sunset, it was very cold. There were no street lights on the mountain, and it was dark. After going down the mountain, I followed the navigation to Liangyou Bookstore. After passing through many German buildings, I won't go into details. Let's talk about Liangyou Bookstore, which is only one floor and one floor. It is more Republic of China style, and I prefer the Qingdao study that came later.
After visiting Liangyou Bookstore, I went to Taitung Pedestrian Street to eat and go shopping. Dinner can be served here. There are many delicious foods.
Day 3: Badaguan, Xiaoyushan Park, University Road
Yushan Road-the first bathing beach-the second bathing beach-Badaguan-Xiaoyushan Park
Yushan Road: We live on Yushan Road, and we can reach Badaguan by walking along Yushan Road. Today, it rained a little, and it was much colder, but it cleared up in the afternoon. My friend said that the style here is somewhat like Han.
Badaguan: There are many European-style buildings in Badaguan, so we can stroll around for one day. We walk along the first bathing beach until we reach the second bathing beach, and then we start to stroll from Huashi Villa. After visiting Badaguan, I saw the panoramic view of the old city in Xiaoyushan Park in the afternoon. The wind in Xiaoyushan Park is very, very strong. Along the way, I passed Daxue Road and Yushan Road.
I came back in the afternoon and went to Xiaoyu on the fourth day: Christian Church, Huangxian Road, Catholic Church and Zhanqiao
There is no need to look for any scenic spots in the old city. Maybe the beautiful scenery is just around the corner, and everyone can find different scenery when they go. These days, I have to walk, and I can also take the subway and bus in a little farther place.
Route: Xiaoyushan Park-Christian Church-Huangxian Road-Catholic Church-Trestle
We got up early in the morning, and the weather cleared up. Our room can see the sea directly, and it is located on the hillside next to Xiaoyushan Park. I got up immediately, didn't wash my face, put on my clothes and flew up the hill. Tickets haven't been collected yet. Climb the Bajiaoge overlooking the whole old city of Qingdao. It's really super beautiful. The warm sunshine shines in every corner of the city. Such a beautiful scene is so deep in my mind that the camera can't capture its beauty.
a Christian church, a Catholic church. Impressive, like a fairy tale world. Passing through Huangxian Road along the way, it is a very retro literary path. I recommend you to take a walk. Very suitable for taking pictures. There are also many specialty shops.
From the Christian Church, walk along Huangxian Road to the Catholic Church. There are many new people taking wedding dresses in Huangxian Road. It is really suitable for street shooting. There are many graffiti walls, and the art is small and fresh.
trestle: I have visited the Catholic Church and Qingdao study. Go along the seaside and pass the trestle. The trestle is the place with the most tourists. You have to look for angles when taking pictures, and the scenery is still very good.
Qingdao study room: I strongly recommend Qingdao study room, which is very good. The balcony of the whole villa has a very good view, and you can see the Catholic Church. There are many books about Qingdao in the bookstore. You can buy some here to take home.
Day 5: Laoshan Jufeng-Shilaoren Beach
The hotel I booked is near Shilaoren Beach, near the subway entrance. There are many high-end and mid-range hotels around here for you to choose from at will. When you get up in the morning, you can take 114 or 314 directly to Dahedong at the door and go directly to Laoshan Scenic Area.
We bought tickets for sightseeing, and the sightseeing bus was sent directly to the foot of the mountain. We started climbing at about 8: 31, bought a one-way cable car ticket, and went down on foot. There were many observation platforms and some special rocks along the way. I suggest you take a one-way cable car up the mountain and walk down the mountain. It can not only retain physical strength, but also play the whole scenic spot thoroughly, so as not to take a cursory look. Or walk up the mountain and down the mountain to make a cable car. Free choice.
Shilaoren Beach is very comfortable and well-afforested. There are many restaurants and hotels around it. Perfect for bringing children to play. Swimming in summer, vacation must be super comfortable.
After the introduction of itinerary and travel route, here are some precautions about accommodation, transportation and diet.
About accommodation
Recommendation: Shinan District, Shibei District
1: The villa in Shinan District, which we live in, is very beautiful, very retro, and I like it. There are various styles of rooms in it. There are many such villas in Shinan District, which can be experienced. The location is also very good, right next to Xiaoyu Mountain. The next day, we got up early and went to Xiaoyu Mountain to watch a sunrise. All the surrounding scenic spots are within walking distance, which is very convenient.
2: Loft apartment in Shibei District, which is great. The room is very large and quiet. It's on Line 3, the 21th floor of Qingjian Sun Island Business Building. You can travel by subway and go anywhere you want without much walking. There are all department stores, supermarkets and restaurants downstairs, which is very convenient. I recommend staying. I will definitely come again next time. There is a kitchen, chopsticks, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the room. I also prepared an umbrella, and the umbrella for taking pictures was taken from here, free of charge. Self-check-in throughout, just like living in your own home, the hygiene is also very good, and Airbnb is scheduled. I booked for two days in a row and stayed in two apartments with different styles. I will stay in other styles next time.
Laoshan Mountain and Shilaoren Beach will be arranged in the next two days. The Paiboyun hotel chain near the subway station of Shilaoren Beach and the Seven-day hotel chain near the airport where I stayed on my last day are convenient for catching the plane. According to my years of travel experience, I don't have to go to hotels and homestays recommended by others. According to your own itinerary, it is best to live in a place with convenient transportation, convenient dining and less walking, and the sanitary environment is also very important. Booking a B&B suggests Airbnb, where the hotel chain will go, and the hornet's nest is ok. Download several more apps to compare prices.
Food and beverage
Sauced pig's feet, pot stickers, all kinds of seafood, recommended seafood jiaozi, sea cucumber with minced meat, scallops in oil, and ribs rice are also very delicious, but not expensive. I didn't look for a store, but I ate very well every time, haha.
I have basically eaten all the special dishes in Qingdao. Don't go to Pichai Yuan. I met some friends in the Catholic Church who said it was a pit. Generally speaking, there are many delicious foods in Qingdao, so we should eat more ribs, rice and seafood. As a Hunan person, Hunan cuisine is his favorite, each with its own characteristics.
In terms of drinks, you can try yoghourt made in Qingdao, Tsingtao beer and Laoshan coke, and you must try them.
