Qingdao in autumn is so "beautiful". The sky is clear, the water is blue, the breeze is gentle, and the trees are shady. From the red walls and green tiles of Badaguan to the soft sandy beaches of the beach, from the old neighborhoods full of stories to the fashionable and beautiful new towns, every place has charming colors that make you forget to leave.
However, Qingdao is not just Badaguan. I have discovered many interesting places during my 6 trips to Qingdao. This time I went straight to the Aoshan Seaside, the second largest bay in Qingdao. Now here is It is the Hong Kong CTS Haiquan Bay Resort and a new tourist destination in Qingdao.
Haiquan Bay is located on the east side of Aoshan Bay Binhai Avenue in Jimo, Qingdao. It is 40 kilometers away from the center of Qingdao and 15 kilometers from the center of Jimo. It has convenient transportation and extends in all directions.
It is the best choice to visit Haiquan Bay in autumn, especially just after the National Day holiday. There are few people, beautiful scenery and low consumption, and the seafood is delicious after the sea opens. It is the most suitable time to come.
In Haiquan Bay, you can see Mount Laoshan in the distance to the southwest. It is shrouded in clouds and mist and stretches into the sea. It is worthy of being a fairy mountain on the sea. To the east of Haiquan Bay are the Tianheng Islands, looming in the clouds and clouds; here are thousands of meters of golden beach and bromine salt ocean hot springs, making it a perfect place for leisure and vacation.
If you like shopping, you can visit the European-style outlet commercial street here. The architectural style inherits the European classics of the eight major cities in the city. It is really a blue sea, blue sky, golden sand and silver waves. There is more romance under the sunset.
There is also a towering Ferris wheel here, with a beautiful name called Ocean Star. It is said that if a couple rides the Ferris wheel and kisses at the top, they will walk hand in hand forever, so many young people come here to make their romantic vows.
This Ocean Star Ferris wheel is built by the sea. It is the highest in Qingdao at 88 meters high. It has 54 suspended observation cabins. It takes 20 minutes to rotate once. Sitting in the cabin, you can see 360 Look around without blind spots. From the ride, you can have a panoramic view of the thousand-meter golden beach and the vast blue waves of Aoshan Bay, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qingdao. You can also watch the sunrise over the sea and enjoy the warm sunset together.
Let’s talk about the food that everyone cares about most! Here is my favorite Japanese food, and some of the dishes are very creative, I must recommend them.
Tempura is a creative delicacy that requires fire. The heat is well controlled and it is both crispy and tender. It is a top recommendation.
The peony shrimp is shrouded in an iceberg that has been frozen for eight hours. An Arctic sweet shrimp lies there quietly. It is especially delicious. They say that the shrimp head is most delicious when you take a bite of it. It always feels like there is something inside. The shrimp's stomach didn't dare to open its mouth.
The sashimi platter is very rich, the ingredients are fresh, and the knife skills are good. Salmon, octopus, squid, etc. are all my favorites.
The abalone has been simmered in chicken soup for more than 4 hours. The deliciousness of the chicken soup combined with the tenderness of the abalone is a masterpiece. This dish is served in a very special way. It is covered with magic paper. After it is lit and burned, the abalone is exposed, like a magic show.
The conch and matsutake soup uses a conch shell as a container, and contains conch meat and matsutake soup. The soup is delicious, with a little bit of matsutake and more of the conch flavor. It is also delicious when served. It will light up a fire, which is a special surprise. Such daily food only costs 200 yuan per person. After dinner, you can go to the ocean hot springs to relieve your fatigue. It is really as happy as a fairy.
I stayed at Haiquanwan Hot Spring in the evening. My room was in Thai style. The hot spring was directly connected to the room. You can soak in the hot spring and sauna in the room, and you can also enjoy the golden beach and beautiful sea view from the balcony. .
Qingdao Hot Spring is one of the four major ocean hot springs in the world, with very good health effects. The history of hot springs in the Jimo area where Haiquan Bay Resort is located can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, and the hot spring culture has been deeply imprinted on it. Here it is.
The hot spring area here has five major theme areas and more than 60 indoor and outdoor pools, suitable for people of different ages to enjoy. After fully releasing the pores in the hot spring, the fatigue of the day dissipated and I found a physical therapist here. I had my back opened with essential oils, cupping, and a magical auricular pressure bean, which was very comfortable.
When you come to Qingdao this autumn, you must go to Haiquan Bay to experience it. You will have a different experience.
