Signal Hill Park

🗾 Signal Hill Park, located at the central point of Qingdao's old town and also its highest point, is named for the signal tower that was once built on the summit to guide ships. From here, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of Qingdao's old town. ✅ 🌟 The park has two entrances, the north gate and the west gate. Visitors usually enter from the west gate. The park is not very large or high, making it relatively simple to tour, and it's basically impossible to get lost. It takes about 10 minutes to climb the hill (see map 19 for a guide). ✅ 💙 Recommended attractions: 1️⃣ At the west gate entrance, there is a wall with carvings showing ancient methods of signal transmission. ✅ 2️⃣ The beacon tower, from which you can also overlook the entire old town area. ✅ 3️⃣ The revolving observation tower, a red-roofed mushroom-shaped building on the hill, offers a 360-degree view of Qingdao's old town and charges an admission fee. ✅ 4️⃣ The Lianxin Bridge, which, as the name suggests, symbolizes love. Couples who walk across this 'Heart-Connected Bridge' are said to stay together forever. ✅ 5️⃣ The Wulongtan Fountain, which is also a popular photo spot. ✅ 6️⃣ The six-bend corridor and the Magnolia Pavilion at the hilltop, which are especially beautiful when the magnolias are in bloom. ✅ 🕹️ Stamp collection point: The visitor center has various stamps, and bringing your own book for stamping incurs a fee of 10 yuan. ✅ 🎫 Admission: Entrance to the scenic area is free, but there is a separate charge for the revolving observation tower, 10 yuan per person. ✅ 🚕 Transportation: 🚇 Take Metro Line 4 to Signal Hill (Qingda University Affiliated Hospital) B2 exit, which leads directly to the west gate of the park. ✅ ⏱️ Opening hours: April 1st to October 31st 06:00-20:30; November 1st to March 31st 06:00-20:00. ✅ ⚠️ Be sure to check the weather forecast, as clear days offer better photo opportunities. ✅

It was originally a place for commanding fleets to transmit signals and is a commanding height in the old city of Qingdao. 🔔Signal Hill backs on to the city and faces the sea. It overlooks the Zhanqiao and is one of the best viewing points for viewing the Qianhai Scenic Area and the cityscape. ⛩️Address: No. 17 Ding, Qidong Road, Shinan District, Qingdao (North Gate, direct to the top of the mountain), No. 16 Jia, Longshan Road (West Gate, walk up the mountain) 📍: Signal Hill Park 🎫: Free (Rotating viewing platform 10 yuan💰) 🚇: Metro Line 4 Signal Hill Station B2 Exit 👉Photo📸Location 1⃣️Climb to the top of the mountain and turn right at the rotating viewing platform.

If you want to see the beautiful scenery of Qingdao, then climb Signal Hill Park!

The park is not large or high, making the tour relatively simple, and it's basically impossible to get lost; it takes about 10 minutes to climb the hill. Although the park is not large, there are quite a few places worth checking in. On the wall at the west gate entrance, there are carvings of ancient signal transmission methods. Standing on the beacon tower, you can overlook the entire old city area. Climbing the rotating observation tower: the red-top mushroom tower on the mountain allows a 360-degree view of Qingdao's old city. There is also the Heart-to-Heart Bridge, symbolizing love, which promises that couples who walk across it will stay together forever, and so on. tips: When checking in at this park, remember to wear comfortable shoes, as there are some small steep slopes~

Signal Hill Park is a national 3A scenic spot, which used to be a place for commanding ships to hang signal signs. The view of the city from the top is pretty good. The park is free to visit, and there is a subway nearby which is quite convenient. Compared to Guanxiang Mountain, there are many people here, and you need to make a reservation at the entrance. This mountain is quite easy to climb, but the water sold on the mountain is quite expensive, so it's recommended to bring your own. There is a rotating observation tower at the top, which charges separately. You can choose whether to pay the ten yuan fee. I highly recommend coming for a visit. It's a free park, not far from the sea, and you can see the sea from the top.

It felt like I had stepped through Doraemon's Anywhere Door. Signal Hill is truly the place I recommend the most in Qingdao. With an altitude of less than a hundred meters and a climbing height of about fifty meters, you can see ninety percent of Qingdao's landmarks. I can't believe some people say that once you've been to a certain observation deck, there's no need to go to Signal Hill, and even more so, some people recommend Little Fish Hill over Signal Hill! I really want to say, if you don't go up to Signal Hill and take a look, your understanding of the 'red tiles, green trees, blue sea, and blue sky' is really lacking by ten percent!!! Signal Hill is located in the old town area, with free entry, and it takes less than ten minutes to climb to the top from the entrance turnstile! Along the way, you will pass three observation decks, and the higher you go, the broader the view, making the appreciation of Qingdao's red tiles, green trees, blue sea, and blue sky all the more beautiful. The topmost large mushroom-shaped rotating observation deck on Signal Hill charges an entrance fee of 10 yuan, and I personally suggest that if it's your first time, you should go up for a look. Here, with a 360-degree rotating view, there are no obstructions, and you can experience all of Qingdao's landmark buildings, apart from the 'May Wind' torch, without any blind spots. Photography enthusiasts can also take very nice photos through the glass (we went at ten in the morning, and there was basically no reflection). ⚠️Key point: After coming out of the big mushroom, don't hurry down the hill. On the right-hand side, with your back to the entrance of the big mushroom, there are steps going down. After walking down for about 3 minutes, you will see a circular mountain path. Turn right and walk along this path, and you can see Qingdao's iconic buildings again, and there are several spots that are very suitable for portrait photography. Whether it's with St. Michael's, the Zhejiang Road Church, or other landmarks, there are very good angles. If you are there at sunset, taking photos on the circular mountain path with the Zhejiang Road Church as the main subject, amidst the green trees and red-tiled buildings against the backdrop of the sea sunset, is also very beautiful. Unfortunately, I didn't wait for it this time. So, I really recommend again strongly: In Qingdao, whether you have time or not, Signal Hill, go, you must go!!! PS: All photos were taken with a camera, no aerial photography.

Walking straight along the road of Signal Hill, you really find scenery everywhere, and the warm sun after the snow is truly a rare treat, making the red tiles on the old buildings exceptionally beautiful. Sitting in the observation tower on Signal Hill and looking far into the distance, you can see the red roofs, green trees, blue sea, and blue sky of the island city, with the beauty of the mountains and waters all in one glance. If you want to go to the red building at the top of the mountain, you need to buy a ticket (Recommended visiting time is before dusk, so you can see both the sunset over the old town of Qingdao and the blue hour old town, and if you're lucky, you might also see the afterglow. I hope you can see it, after all, I didn't )
