Qingdao, you're so delicious!!!

Qingdao, you're so delicious!!!

During the National Day holiday, I strolled around the quaint Jimo Ancient City, feeling the blend of history and modernity. The air was filled with the tempting aroma of barbecue, and the atmosphere was full of the hustle and bustle of life. It was as if I had traveled back in time to a bustling old street. 🥩Beef skewers, each one was huge, sizzling with oil, and the golden crispy skin was delicious. 🦆The dry pot duck head was crispy and delicious, each bite was full of rich aroma, and there was also dry fried spicy chicken, which was spicy and delicious. 🍻A few bottles of chilled Qingdao beer were simply one of the great pleasures of life. 🍚Their must-order beef rice was also amazing! The beef was minced just right, the soup was rich, and each bite was full of happiness. 🍢There was also grilled pork belly, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and was oily but not greasy. All the dishes were of high quality, and there were no disappointments at all!!!

Qingdao Citywalk is a great place, it's so beautiful to take photos with besties

If you want to visit Qingdao Citywalk, Qingdao Yinhai World is a good choice. Qingdao Yinhai World is located at No. 30 Donghai Middle Road, Shinan District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province. Qingdao Yinhai World is open to the public for free. It's open all day from Monday to Sunday. There are quite a few places to visit inside, such as the Qingdao Marine Military Exhibition Hall, the Water Level Zero Point Scenic Area, and the Yacht Club... Some parts require a separate admission ticket. You can go to the pier inside Yinhai World to take photos. There are big and small sailboats docked at the pier, and there is also the distant statue of Mazu, which makes for very photogenic shots. There are also many restaurants and coffee shops inside Qingdao Yinhai World, especially the coffee shops, which are basically by the sea. Finding a seaside spot to have afternoon tea is also super nice. By the way, now to go to Xiaomaidao, you can only go through Yinhai World, and it's also nice to take a stroll on the island while you're at it.

Qingdao Huangdao Dazhushan Scenic Area is absolutely stunning.

Qingdao Huangdao Dazhushan Scenic Area is absolutely stunning.

🌟🌟 As soon as I entered the scenic area, I was captivated by the jelly-like reservoir. The color is just too beautiful. Qingdao is truly a summer retreat at this time of year. Even hiking isn't too hot. Although the sunlight is strong, the cool breeze makes it bearable. The lush, dense forest contrasts with the massive stone walls. You can't truly appreciate their grandeur unless you stand beneath them. The mountains around Qingdao are truly beautiful. The various stunning trees, the live fish in the reservoir, and the pleasant scent of the forest all make climbing Dazhushan worthwhile in the summer.🔥 👉 Be sure to bring plenty of water and food when hiking here. Water is only sold at the flat area at the foot of the mountain. Many people come here for hiking. I overheard an elderly gentleman saying that it takes 4 hours to hike from one entrance to the other exit. So, you can just climb part of the way and turn back. It's best to climb to a certain height where you can see the sea. This is a city with both mountains and sea. The residents here are so lucky!👏👏
