First of all, briefly introduce Qingdao, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides in the southeast and the land on the north, with a population of about 8 million and an average annual temperature of 25 degrees. There are four main urban areas in the city, namely, Shibei, Shinan, Sifang and Licang, and almost all the tourist attractions are concentrated in the coastal line of Shinan District.
The airport is located in Chengyang District, a suburb of Qingdao, about 35 kilometers away from the city center. Sifang is the old city, and there are basically no scenic spots. The train is the most convenient. When you get out of the train station, you will find the sea, and next to it is the representative scenic spot of Qingdao: Zhanqiao. If your luggage is simple, you can travel directly without stopping. Friends in go on road trip, please note that the road conditions in Qingdao are very poor, the roads are rugged and complicated, and there are many one-way streets. Therefore, it is very difficult for foreigners to drive in Qingdao, because most of the roads are inclined, so Qingdao locals do not ask for directions, but use the front, back, left and right instead of
Select some representative scenic spots below for friends' 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 guests for hotels and scenic spots at the entrance, so I suggest that you don't participate. The reasons are not much to say, but some young people who have just graduated are specially reminded that they will encounter similar lottery, lottery, free ride, face-to-face meeting, amulet and chess endgame. . . Wait, you can't participate. Remember to remember
B: Zhanqiao (free): the symbol of Qingdao. You must have a look. It was built in 1892, and it is the oldest pier in Qingdao. There are many people taking a sea bath next to Zhanqiao. Most locals don't take a bath there, and the water quality is too bad.
C: Bichaiyuan (free): It is located on Zhongshan Road in Qingdao, not far from Zhanqiao, Zhongshan. Open-air barbecue, seafood stalls, etc., there are performing arts when eating in Jiangning Hall, but I don't usually eat there, and I feel that the price and taste are not satisfactory. Hehe
D Tianhou Palace (free), built to worship Mazu, where you can burn incense and pray for fortune, and tour groups usually go there, so you can go in and stroll around when you have time, but please pay attention to the incense, which is very expensive.
E: naval museum (.
F: Luxun Park (free of charge) is next to the underwater world scenic spot, with trees, rocks, sea and wind. Personally, the scenery is still good.
G: There are some marine animal specimens and various marine animals in the underwater world (Datong Pass 121), including mermaid performance and human shark dance performance. I've been there several times, but I won't go to the underwater world after I got the polar ocean world.
H: Bath: There are many bathing beaches in Qingdao, such as One Bath, Two Baths, Stone Man, Golden Beach, etc. One Bath is famous, and the beach is also big, with handsome men and beautiful women, but there are many tourists, dense population and muddy water, which is a fly in the ointment. The second bath is not too far from the first bath. It is said that leaders usually bathe there, because the second bath is charged, so there are fewer tourists, and the water quality is ok. Then there is the Shilaoren bathing beach in Laoshan District, because it is far from the city center, so the beach and water quality are much better in all aspects. Friends who climb Laoshan can consider taking a bath there. There is also a golden beach bathing beach, because it is in Xuejia Island District, far from Qingdao, so I won't introduce it. However, the evaluation there is high, so you can go there if you have time.
I eight passes (free): known as the Museum of Architecture of the World, with green trees and red bricks, blue sea and blue sky, quiet, elegant, beautiful and quiet, Qingdao people must go to take wedding photos, a good place to fall in love, but personally, there are just many trees, maybe I have no taste, hehe
J Zhongshan Park (free): Qingdao's largest comprehensive park, Tens of thousands of cherry blossoms were transplanted from Japan, so there was a cherry blossom festival in spring to enjoy cherry blossoms and watch lanterns, which was very lively. Later, in memory of the revolutionary martyr Dr. Sun Yat-sen, it was renamed Zhongshan Park, and now the park is still dominated by plants. In addition, some children's playgrounds are more lively.
K Music Square (free): The whole square is built with music as the keynote and has good background music, which is adjacent to May 4th Square. I don't want to introduce it in detail.
L May 4th Square (free): it is located in front of Qingdao government, with the sea to the south. It was named after the May 4th Movement. There is a landmark building "May Wind" in the square, which is shaped like a torch. In addition, there are some fountains in the square, and the 111-meter fountain on the sea. The May 4th Square is a very interesting place. I prefer
M Olympic Sailing Base: It used to be Qingdao Beihai Shipyard after the 2118 Olympic Games.
n. Polar Ocean World (Datong Pass 181), because I always take my friends to Qingdao, I have been there several times, and I like their animal performances, including dolphins, sea lions, great white whales and walruses. . . Every time I see their performances, I am very touched. Personally, I feel better than the performances of Underwater World.
O Beer City (tickets are cheap, and they are consumed separately): Beer City is only interesting when it is Oktoberfest, so I 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. In 2112, it should be from August 11 to August 26. Of course, only the first few days are lively, and it is the largest beer festival in Asia. There will be drinking contests, cultural performances, and other entertainment projects. The whole amusement park should be lined up for a long time and there are too many people.
P Shilaoren National Tourist Resort (free of charge), there is a 17-meter-high stone pillar 111 meters away from the shore, which is shaped like an old man, hence its name. It is worth mentioning that Shilaoren bathing beach has fresh water and endless soft beaches, which is very good.
Q Laoshan Scenic Area (now the fare is 131): a national five-level scenic spot, known as "the first mountain on the sea", with people on earth. Plus the scenic spot ticket for 91 yuan, the total price is ***131. You can take the downtown. There is a Taiqing Palace on the mountain, which is said to have been built in the Western Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,111 years. If you enter Taiqing Palace, you have to buy another ticket for 21 yuan. In addition, there is the Beijiushui Line. I feel very general about Laoshan Mountain. The mountain is too small, and it can be completed 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 some places worth seeing, such as Little Qingdao, Tianmucheng Street, TV Sightseeing Tower, Signal Mountain and Old Christian Church. . . . . . . . Wait a minute.
All the above scenic spots are concentrated in the coastal line. There are many buses with tourist routes along the coastal line, which is very convenient to take the bus. Moreover, there is a wooden plank road along the coastal line, which can directly walk from the west to the easternmost part (except Laoshan District). Every year, July, August and September are the tourist season in Qingdao, and entertainment items in most scenic spots such as Underwater World, Zhongshan Park and Beer City have to be queued for a long time. Please be prepared.
Let's briefly introduce the places to eat. The place to eat near the railway station should be Bichai Garden and the barbecue on Sifang Road next to it. A little farther away, you can go to Beer Street and Tianmucheng Street, not far from the railway station, and the taxi starting fee can be reached. 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 food street of Yunxiao Road, next to it. These are places 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 affordable, just find a small restaurant on the roadside far from the scenic spot. Eating in Qingdao is characterized by seafood, clams, scallops, conch, local yellow croaker, blackhead fish, teeth, shrimps and crabs, etc., and attention should be paid to preventing allergies and food poisoning. If you have better economic conditions, it is recommended to go to some high-end hotels, such as Old Boatman, Yiqinglou Seafood Big Mac, Liangyou Hotel, Sunshine Holiday Hotel, Haimengyuan, Yongli, etc., which are all top-notch pure catering high-end hotels with first-class dishes, first-class service and, of course, first-class prices.
As for shopping, the specialty products commonly sold in Qingdao's major scenic spots are nothing more than pearl necklaces, pearl powder (said to be beautiful), shell bracelets and bracelets, shell ornaments, 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 all kinds of products sold by scenic spots can be wholesale. Of course, it depends on whether you can bargain. Speaking of which, I want to add an episode. The author of this article, that is, I, opened a magic shop atNo. A11-12, Fudi Shopping Mall, opposite Jimo Road Wholesale Market, to learn two-handed magic. Hehe, I remember that when I just graduated, in order to earn more money, I often went to the seaside to set up a stall. During this time, I met my friend Xiaoliu, who had a disability in her leg and made a living by selling small shell ornaments in a wheelchair. Later, because of XX reasons. Urban management and XX strengthen law enforcement on scenic spots, and urban management is bold and unrestrained. Everyone knows that small shells are often taken away, and they can't do it anymore. Xiaoliu has to attract customers to some tourist attractions and earn a few pennies by selling tickets. In the tourist season, there is no discount on the ticket prices of scenic spots, and selling a ticket to the polar region or the seabed will only earn a few dollars. However, if everyone collects firewood, they hope that friends who have read this article will go to the underwater world or the polar ocean world. You can find Xiaoliu, dial 15854231116, pick up the bus for free, and pay for the scenic spot tickets (Underwater World Pass 121, Polar Ocean World Pass 181). Frankly speaking, this article is written for Xiaoliu. I hope everyone can take care of Xiaoliu's business and give someone a rose with a lingering fragrance.
to get down to business, there are more than a dozen five-star hotels in Qingdao, especially the Seascape Garden and Shangri-La, and there are countless four-star and three-star hotels and business hotels. But most of the rooms in Qingdao hotels are fully booked every July, August and September, so if you plan to stay in a star-rated hotel, you'd better book rooms through some big well-known travel websites (Ctrip, eLong, etc.) before coming, otherwise, if 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 agreement price with major travel agencies, the business cooperation price of the hotel's own major customers, and the individual price at the front desk, which is very different. If you book a room directly at the front desk as an individual, it may be even higher than the price booked through a travel agency). It is best not to go through group buying. Many group buying prices are all pretexts and cannot be used. Small family hotels around the railway 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 you really can't make it, you have to go to the bath center. The bath center in Qingdao is 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. It's a great deal, but it's always a place of right and wrong. It's best not to go to unfamiliar places. Hehehe, the last resort is to camp by the sea. Of course, you can't sleep on the beach directly. You can bring your own tent, which is romantic and economical. It needs to be reminded that Qingdao's
To sum up, there are several things you should not forget when you come to Qingdao, such as taking a sea bath, eating seafood, drinking draft beer, visiting 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 dial the complaint number of the Tourism Bureau at 12311. If no one answers, they have two other hotlines, 111 and 12345. I have marked the scenic spots and shopping places mentioned above, which can be seen at a glance.
Finally, I wish all the friends who come to Qingdao to have a good time and have a pleasant journey. Don't forget to give me extra points. Haha, please see the picture below. Click to view the big picture.
