Qingdao 5-Day, 4-Night Classic Itinerary

Qingdao 5-Day, 4-Night Classic Itinerary

Hey, if you're talking about travel, Qingdao is the place to be! Here's a super practical guide for a DIY trip to Qingdao. First, let's talk about the classic 5-day, 4-night itinerary. On the first day, start exploring the old town. Arrive at Qingdao Railway Station in the morning and head straight to Zhan Bridge, where you can feed the seagulls and enjoy the sea view. It's quite a sight to see flocks of seagulls squawking and vying for food. Next, visit St. Michael's Cathedral on Zhejiang Road. The architecture of the church is stunning. Then, stroll along Zhongshan Road and stop by Pichaiyuan Snack Street to sample local snacks. In the afternoon, go to Signal Hill Park, where you can overlook the red-tiled roofs and green trees. The view is picturesque. Afterward, check in at the University Road internet-famous wall, then head to Xiaoyu Mountain, and finally to Badaguan Scenic Area to see Huashi Lou and Princess House, which feel like stepping into a fairy tale. In the evening, watch the light show at May Fourth Square from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. The twinkling lights create a magical atmosphere. After the light show, visit the Olympic Sailing Center to enjoy the colorful night view reflected on the water. On the second day, embark on an in-depth tour of the mountain and sea scenery. Go to the Yangkou route of Laoshan Mountain. First, play in the sand at Yangkou Beach, then see the giant character "寿" (Longevity) on Shouzi Peak, and explore the Mitiandong Cave for a little thrill. Next, experience Taoist culture at Taiqing Palace, and finally, visit the fishing village of Qingshan, where the red-roofed houses resemble a fairy-tale village. For a unique experience, you can either take bus No. 618 along the coastline to enjoy the sea breeze and scenery or rent a car and drive along the coastal highway for an exhilarating ride. On the third day, explore the Huangdao coastline. First, visit Golden Sand Beach, known as Asia's best beach, with its fine sand and clear water. Take off your shoes and feel the soft sand between your toes. Then, go cycling at Tangdaowan Park to relax. Next, visit the Qingdao Movie Metropolis to experience the fun of a movie-themed park. In the evening, go to Silver Sand Beach to try your luck at digging for small crabs or watch the sunset over the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge, painting the sky in shades of orange and red. The fourth day is an optional extension trip to Penglai and Weihai. Visit the Baxian Crossing Scenic Area to experience the legend of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. Then, visit Liugong Island and the Sino-Japanese War Museum to learn about history. Afterward, go to Weihai Huaxia City and finally, play at the Xiang Hai Diamond Beach. On the fifth day, conclude your trip with art and cuisine. In the morning, visit Wheat Island Park, a Japanese-style island park perfect for taking photos. Then, walk along the boardwalk at Yan'erdao Park. In the afternoon, visit the Tsingtao Beer Museum, where you'll receive a complimentary glass of draft beer. Enjoy the fresh Tsingtao beer. Next, go to Taidong Pedestrian Street and try some snacks at Zi'er Street. In the evening, buy fresh seafood at Yingkou Road Market and have it cooked at a local restaurant to experience the local atmosphere. Transportation Guide Regarding transportation, let's start with long-distance travel. If you're flying, arrive at Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport and take subway Line 8 directly to the city center, which takes about 1 hour. If you're taking the high-speed train, choose Qingdao Railway Station first, as it's closer to the attractions, followed by Qingdao North Railway Station. For local transportation, subway Lines 2 and 3 cover the main urban area. Download the "Qingdao Metro APP" and scan the QR code to ride. Buses cost 1-2 yuan. Bus No. 316 is recommended as it's a coastal route with scenic views. Taxis have a starting fare of 10 yuan. However, walking or cycling is recommended in the old town to enjoy the scenery and exercise. Accommodation Recommendations There are several accommodation options. Near Qingdao Railway Station in the old town, transportation is convenient, and it's easy to visit classic attractions like Zhan Bridge and St. Michael's Cathedral. In the May Fourth Square/Olympic Sailing Center area, there are many high-end hotels with excellent night views. Orange Crystal Smart Seaside Hotel and MixC Apartment are recommended for their value. The Taidong night market area offers various snacks and a vibrant nightlife, suitable for young backpackers. Laoshan homestays are also a good choice, such as the sea-view rooms at Qilan Haiju and Holiday Inn Express Laoshan, a comfortable mountain retreat. Food List Don't miss out on the food. Must-try specialties include spicy stir-fried clams, braised sea cucumber with scallions, and steamed mitten crabs, which can be bought and cooked at Yingkou Road Market. Snacks include mackerel dumplings, seafood noodles, Qingdao pot stickers, and pork crackling. Drinks include bottled Tsingtao beer and Laoshan Baihua Snake Grass Water, which you can try for a unique experience. For restaurants, Chuangeyu Dumplings is a time-honored chain, Qian Hai Yan serves local cuisine, and Longge Buffet Hot Pot offers all-you-can-eat seafood for 59 yuan. Practical Tips Here are some practical tips for traveling to Qingdao. Be aware of scams near Zhan Bridge, where some people charge for taking photos. Ask for the price beforehand. Be cautious about seafood restaurants recommended by taxi drivers, as they may overcharge. June to August is the peak season, so book accommodations 2 weeks in advance. November to March is a good time to feed seagulls, with fewer crowds and beautiful scenery. Bring sunscreen and a hat due to strong UV rays on the coast. Wear comfortable athletic shoes for the hilly terrain in the old town. If you plan to dig for clams at Golden Sand Beach during low tide, bring a small bucket and shovel. Extended Routes If you have more time, consider these extended routes. For a 2-day trip, spend the first day exploring the city center and the second day visiting Laoshan or Huangdao. For a 7-day in-depth trip, add Weihai Liugong Island, Yantai Penglai Pavilion, and a day trip to Mount Tai.

Family, who understands, on Longjiang Road one looks back three times at every step!

Family, who understands, on Longjiang Road one looks back three times at every step!

Qingdao Longjiang Road Photography Guide 1. Best Photo Spot Selection Reluctant Day and Night Cafe Located next to Lao She's former residence at No. 4 Longjiang Road, it is a corner coffee shop with a sense of the era. It is recommended to come early in the morning to shoot, to avoid the backlight at noon. DuoDuoLuo Theme House Located at No. 5 Longjiang Road, diagonally opposite the Reluctant Day and Night Cafe. The Totoro graffiti on the wall is a feature here, very cute. EVA Grocery Located at No. 31 Huangxian Road, Unit 1, diagonally opposite another side of the Reluctant Day and Night Cafe, is also a great shooting location. 2. Shooting Angles and Composition Try shooting from a high angle to show the full view of the entire street. Choose a low angle to shoot upwards, emphasizing the majesty of the buildings. Use the 'rule of thirds' composition to divide the screen into three equal parts, placing important elements at the intersections. 3. Props and Style Matching You can carry some retro-style props such as cameras, hats, backpacks, etc., to match the environment of Longjiang Road. Wear light and comfortable clothing to move and shoot freely on the street. 4. Light and Environment Considerations The golden hour (sunrise and sunset) is the best time to shoot, with soft light and rich colors. Pay attention to the surrounding environment to avoid a cluttered background affecting the photo effect.

May 4th Square in Qingdao

The central part of the city and one of the main touristic destinations for lots of people. To get to this place is quite easy, by subway, May Fourth station. It’s a beautiful square, by the sea, with picturesque sea view. It is surrounded by skyscrapers. This place is especially beautiful in the evening. You can see a light show here. And all the tall business centers are in lights. May 4th square is a very popular photo location. Everyone who visited Qingdao has a photo with that red sculpture 😉. It’s a good point to start exploring the city from here. After the square you can walk all along the bind and enjoy other sightseeings. #bucketlistreboot

Qingdao Hilton: A family-friendly hotel by the sea

Qingdao Hilton: A family-friendly hotel by the sea

The sea breeze in Qingdao is always irresistible, so I took my little one on a spontaneous trip. 🌊 Qingdao not only has a beautiful coastline, but also many family-friendly attractions. There are many fun places near Golden Beach, where you can build sandcastles, collect shells, and fly kites on the beach. It's the perfect place to enjoy family time! As for accommodation, I highly recommend the Hilton Qingdao Golden Beach! 👶 A family-friendly hotel For families with children, it's important to choose a hotel where both adults and children can relax and have fun. This Hilton hotel is perfect! I was attracted by its warm and cozy atmosphere as soon as I walked in. The children's amenities in the room are very thoughtful, from toothbrushes to slippers, all designed with children in mind. You can also enjoy a beautiful sea view through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves is so relaxing! 🍽️ A culinary journey There are a wide variety of foods here to suit all tastes. Whether you're in the mood for authentic seafood or exquisite Western cuisine, you'll find it here. I especially recommend their buffet breakfast, which is rich and nutritious, and will satisfy both you and your baby. Be sure to try the local snacks, they will definitely leave a lasting impression! 🏊‍♀️ A place to release energy If you like to exercise like us, the fitness center here will not disappoint. The 24-hour gym is equipped with the latest equipment, so you can keep up your exercise routine even on vacation. More importantly, there is an indoor heated pool and an outdoor semi-seawater pool, perfect for the whole family to swim and play together. It's a great way to cool off in the summer! 📸 Capture beautiful moments Last but not least, this hotel is very photogenic! The European castle-style architecture is a beautiful sight in itself, and the carefully decorated corners inside and outside the hotel make for great photos. Especially in the evening, it's so romantic to take a walk in the outdoor garden or take some beautiful photos! I hope my sharing can give you some inspiration for your trip. I believe that both adults and children will have an unforgettable and enjoyable vacation here! 🌟
