Qingdao Travel Guide, avoid the crowds and enjoy the seaside charm!

🎉The holiday is finally here! This time I chose Qingdao as my destination, to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and feel the charm of the seaside city. I stayed up all night to put together this guide, hoping to help those who are about to go to Qingdao!💖 🚄Travel Options Qingdao's transportation is very convenient, with high-speed rail or self-driving recommended. If taking the high-speed rail, Qingdao Station is suggested as it is close to the city center and convenient for sightseeing. If arriving by plane at Jiaodong Airport, a taxi ride to May Fourth Square is about 50 kilometers, or you can take Metro Line 8 and then transfer to Line 3, which is also a very convenient option. 🏨Accommodation Recommendations Near May Fourth Square or Qingdao Station are good choices. I personally experienced two hotels: Qingdao Haiyi International Apartments and Yihai Garden Hotel. Haiyi's rooms are spacious, similar to family apartments, with single rooms about 80 square meters; Yihai is a standard hotel size, about 40 square meters, newly opened in 2023, with new facilities. 🌈Itinerary Planning 📅Day1: After dropping off your luggage, you can go to Yanqin Restaurant to taste local cuisine, then visit attractions such as St. Michael's Cathedral and Zhan Bridge, enjoy the night view at the Olympic Sailing Center's Lover's Dam, and finally enjoy a seafood feast at Mingchao Seafood Stall. 📅Day2: Start the morning at Reluctant Day and Night Coffee Shop, then head to the popular Graffiti Wall and University Road for check-ins, followed by visits to Xiaoyushan Park, Taiping Mountain Cableway and other attractions, and taste local food on Taidong Pedestrian Street at night. 📅Day3: Head to Yan'er Island in the morning to taste the old Qingdao Chuozi meat, then visit Lu Xun Park, Qinyu Road and other attractions, enjoy food at Yuehai Beer House in the evening, and finally watch the light show at May Fourth Square. 📸Photo Spots 1️⃣Xiaoyushan: The seascape blends with the sky, making it an excellent place to shoot seascapes. 2️⃣Badaguan: With the charm of a European town, it's suitable for strolling and shooting. 3️⃣Zhan Bridge: A landmark of Qingdao, a must-visit spot. 4️⃣Lover's Dam: The lights of Lover's Dam are dazzling at night, very suitable for couples to take pictures. 5️⃣St. Michael's Cathedral: Being in this European-style cathedral is like being transported to a European town. 🍽️Food Recommendations 1️⃣Mingchao Seafood Stall: The Spanish mackerel dumplings and seafood set are definitely worth a try. 2️⃣Yanqin Restaurant: Authentic local Qingdao cuisine. 3️⃣Boluo Youzi: A local Qingdao dish, spicy small Boluo and sea intestine mixed rice are must-order dishes. 4️⃣Yuehai Beer House: The spicy crab mixed noodles are the signature dish here, very delicious. 💡Travel Tips 1️⃣Qingdao has many slopes, so comfortable shoes are recommended. 2️⃣Although taxis are convenient, there may be traffic jams during holidays, so the subway is recommended for travel. 🌊Come to Qingdao and feel the charm of the seaside city!🌴
