Shi Lao Ren

In the early morning of winter, the breeze blows on your face, and the cold air strikes. However, standing by the sea in Qingdao, you can still feel the heat gradually rising from the bottom of your heart. When the setting sun gradually hides between the mountains and the sea, ripples appear on the sea, as if telling the memories and stories of this city. Looking around, you can see all kinds of strange stones dotted between the yellow sand and the blue, the most famous of which is the old stone man. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the old stone man looks particularly mysterious, as if telling his own years of vicissitudes. Standing next to the old stone man, you can hear the sound of the waves hitting the rocks, and you can also see the dolphins jumping on the water in the distance, everything is so wonderful and natural. Between the mountains and the sea of Qingdao, there seems to be a deep meaning. When you are here, you can find the tranquility and natural power in your heart again, and feel the unexpected warmth in the winter cold wind.

🌈 Coastal Route in Qingdao's Laoshan District I really, really love this route😍! Pick a sunny day with a gentle breeze, take a stroll along the coast, and feel the unique romance of a seaside city💕. Apart from the area around Xiaomaidao where there are more people, other places are not crowded, allowing you to enjoy taking photos📷 to your heart's content. There are also several popular internet-famous coffee shops🥂, with paintings🖼 along the way, where you can rest for a moment before continuing on your journey. Finally, end your trip with a sunset over the sea at Xiaomaidao, which is simply too beautiful🌅~ 🗺Route: Old Stone Man Beach - Qingdao City Exhibition Hall - Qingdao Sculpture Park - Sea Breeze Plaza - Qingdao Polar Ocean Park - Sea Love Park - Xiaomaidao ⏰Duration: Approximately 4-5h with stops for photography 🛣Journey: The whole journey is along the coastal greenway, about 8km in total 📸Photo Check-in Spots Recommended: 🏠Old Stone Man White House 🌊Indoor Sea Viewing Platform at the City Exhibition Hall 🌈Sculpture Park Rainbow Road ☕doctom coffee 🌳Sea Love Park 🌇Xiaomaidao Sunset

Here I am, strolling by the sea again, with the noisy yet peaceful days in the sea breeze, I really like it. But honestly, as long as you apply a little light makeup, then take a picture with a light face, add a filter to yourself in the post-production, it's very nice (the photo was taken by my mom at a fixed point, thanks mom). Light makeup: I don't know if you have other understandings of light makeup, but for me, it's usually just applying sunscreen and primer after normal skincare, then putting on false eyelashes, applying lipstick, and that's it (as for foundation, it depends on your needs). This area of the small house is particularly suitable for aimless wandering, looking into the distance, it's the vast seaside, and nearby, it's the memories of my mom and I walking together

Qingdao is actually not very hot during May Day, and you can wear thin long sleeves. You must go to the seaside on a sunny day, as it's not very attractive on cloudy days and lacks atmosphere. As for attractions, you can go to the Old Stone Man to watch the sunrise, if you can get up early on a good weather morning. Then there's the place I mentioned in the group, which is relatively less crowded. One is the Seaside Scenic Area, where you can walk along the coastline. There's a platform where you can sit and watch the sea and the sunset. Another is Huiquan Road; you can navigate to the parking lot of Badaguan Hotel and walk from there, and it's also not very crowded. In May, the spring flowers in Zhongshan Park may have already bloomed, but it's still worth a visit if you have time. Then you can go to Xiaoyushan or Signal Hill to watch the sunset. Xiaoyushan offers a view of the No.1 Bathing Beach, and Signal Hill probably has a panoramic view of the old city area of Qingdao, both are very nice. There's also Dabaodao, Zhongshan Road, the Catholic Church, and Zhanqiao Pier, which are all close to each other near Qingdao Station. Take the subway and get off directly at Zhanqiao Pier from Qingdao Station. Stroll around and you'll reach Dabaodao, where there are many interesting shops suitable for photography. Near the Catholic Church, there's something like Anna's Castle, which I've never entered, but it's fine to just take photos outside. There's also Yinyuxiang, a newly developed area that's quite interesting. The decorations are very beautiful, and there are coffee shops and the like, suitable for a city walk. I don't think there's much to do at May Fourth Square, but you can go for a walk in the evening, it's good for a stroll.
