#Haiyi International Apartment Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
I hereby declare this hotel to be the pinnacle of affordable hotels in Qingdao, highly recommended!
Anyone who hasn't experienced this hotel in Qingdao will make me sad, it's really such a pity!!
Once you've stayed at this hotel, you'll never forget the beautiful scenery of Qingdao.
The view is truly amazing; here you can not only see the sky and the sea, the sunrise and sunset, but also the bustling pedestrians and the wonderful moments when the lights come on
The hotel rooms are very spacious, a full 85 square meters, with large and comfortable beds. The rooms are equipped with a washer-dryer combo and an open kitchen that can be used. Returning to the hotel, lying on the bed or sitting on the sofa, the beautiful seascape is just outside the window, and you can see Qingdao's landmarks at a glance. This scenery, compared to some luxury hotels, is also very good, but the price is much cheaper at only about 500 RMB.
The service at the hotel is also very good, the front desk ladies are beautiful, with a particularly good service attitude, and they are super nice. When booking the hotel, I requested a high floor for a better view, and the front desk arranged the top floor directly, where the room is quiet and the view is good. There are two bathrooms in the room, one in the living room and one in the bedroom, which can separate the living space well.
The hotel is right next to the entrance of May Fourth Square and the May Fourth Square subway station. Staying here, transportation is convenient, and it's very close to any scenic spot. Not far from the hotel is Qingdao's MixC, which has a lot of delicious food. Staying here, whether ordering takeout, shopping, or sightseeing, you can have a very nice experience.
When leaving the hotel, I took many photos here, really reluctant to leave this hotel, to leave Qingdao!
Ps: I did not choose the breakfast-included package when I stayed, so the breakfast situation needs to be explored by the readers themselves
📝Note tips: The kitchen has an induction cooker, the hotel does not provide pots and bowls, you need to bring your own kitchenware and tableware.
The hotel's family suites are on the 7th floor, and there may be a wall outside the window that could block the view, so be careful when booking.

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.
