Shandong Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
Laoshan Mountain Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
Friends circle asked crazy is not Italy, but Qingdao
Qingdao's romance, half of it is related to the sea,
For this beach that is similar to the Amalfi Coast of Italy,
I specifically flew to Qingdao,
The towering mountains, the orderly red houses on the hillside,
The clear sea, the soft sand, and the people running and playing on the beach,
Plus the blue sky, the white clouds, the gentle wind,
This feeling is too healing.

Qingdao, the beauty of this city needs to be felt by you personally, whether immersed in the long river of history or intoxicated by the scenery before your eyes, every moment is a memory worth cherishing. On this land full of vitality and romance, there is always a scene that can touch your heartstrings.
Qingdao | Travel Guide Day 1
You can stay near Zhongshan Road on the first day.
One very convenient aspect of touring in Qingdao is that
the various attractions are very close to each other,
and you can walk almost the entire way.
Thus, you can visit many attractions in one day
and it's very relaxing.
📍Zhanqiao Pier Area: P1-P2
To see the seagulls, it's suggested to walk to the Zhanqiao Pier Area around 10 a.m. There are many professional photographers, uncles and aunties, by the seaside. If you're traveling alone, you can pay them to take photos (they have good photography skills and can guide your poses).
📍Yinyu Alley: P3-P7
Yinyu Alley has many exquisite shops, such as coffee shops, clothing stores, jewelry stores, etc. The bagels and milk sold at the coffee shop at the entrance are very delicious, and you can have a brunch here.
📍Church: P8-P9
The ticket to enter the church is 10 yuan each.
📍Signal Hill Park: P10-P11
From the top of Signal Hill Park, you can overlook parts of the city. It's recommended to take a taxi directly to the west gate entrance. Entering from the west gate allows you to reach the top of the hill the fastest. There is no fee to enter the park; however, there is a revolving staircase at the top that requires a ticket to enter. Personally, I don't recommend it, as the view from the staircase is not much different from the view outside...
📍Lu Xun Park: P12-P15
Lu Xun Park is by the seaside, where you can enjoy a deep visit. The beachside is very photogenic.
📍Qinyu Road: P16
Qinyu Road is most famous for the "Lonely Tree," which you can find by searching "Lonely Tree" on the map for navigation. You need to queue up to take photos here. There are many cafes (especially recommend Wilder) and restaurants on Qinyu Road. Through the windows of the cafes, you can directly see the sea and the sunset. Recommendations for cafes and restaurants will be covered in a separate post later.
📍Little Qingdao Park: P17-P18
There is no entrance fee for Little Qingdao Park. In fact, the entire island is quite small, and you can quickly walk around it. If you like to watch the sunset, you can also do so at Little Qingdao Park, where the view from the island is another different scenery.

🎉Dear friends, I am here to share my Weihai snow chasing day tour guide! As a southerner, I always have a mysterious longing for snow.

💌I hope this guide can help your trip! If you have any questions or need more advice, feel free to ask me! Let's enjoy the beauty of the snow scene in Weihai together!❄️
I thought Qingdao was already beautiful until I went to Weihai
Many people ask me if there is a city in China
with low cost of living, less crowded, lots of delicious food,
unparalleled sea views, giant ships, and very healing.
My answer is Weihai.
Here, there is the fateful Blue Whale,
Torch Eight Street leading to the sea,
flocks of seagulls,
and seaweed houses like in Hayao Miyazaki's fairy tales.
Coming to Weihai in summer, looking at the azure sea and sky,
this is the original touch and romance of humanity~
🚶Recommended 2 days 1 night weekend itinerary in Weihai:
Day 1: Weihai Rongcheng Station - Motianling - Xixiakou Shendiao Mountain Zoo - Naxianghai
Day 2: Chengshantou - Hailudao - Jinshitan Seaweed House - Blue Whale Shipwreck - Return
📷【Weihai Check-in Points Recommendations】
1️⃣ Jinshitan Seaweed House: The scenes in Hayao Miyazaki's animations are materialized at this moment~ I really love this place.
2️⃣ Blue Whale Shipwreck: A stranded giant ship has become a unique attraction in Weihai Rongcheng. The ship may be stranded, but life will not~ Come here and take a set of stunning life photos~
3️⃣ Torch Eight Street: Take the advice, if you go here, it is recommended to arrive around 6 am on weekdays, otherwise, it will be crowded. But it is indeed very atmospheric, and its popularity is not accidental~
4️⃣ Yuanyao Pier: This is my favorite place in Weihai. Besides the bronze bell on the pier, the framed portrait + the sea below are simply stunning!
5️⃣ Hailudao: Take a boat to Hailudao, surrounded by seagulls. At this moment, it seems that all worries are left behind. Enjoy the romance of the sea breeze and the island~
6️⃣ Chengshantou: Overlooking the sea here, Weihai offers a unique healing experience to every visitor. Perhaps the sea at this moment can carry many thoughts~
⚠️【Travel Tips】
It is suitable to wear bright or black clothes for photos, whether it is cloudy or sunny, the photos will turn out great.
Some attractions in Weihai are crowded, but because the background is the sea, you can avoid the crowds~
Weihai Travel Recommendations
🚗 About Transportation:
Self-driving is the most convenient as the attractions are relatively far apart.
Renting a car is also a good option. Weihai has many pure electric mini cars and many charging stations, which is quite convenient.
Attraction Recommendations:
Blue Whale:
It feels like being immersed in a movie scene, with seagulls flying around. It's very photogenic when the weather is good. The parking lot has been reorganized, making it a bit more orderly than before.
Jinshiwan Art Institute:
Seaweed house fairy tale cottages, the blue sea, it's like a comic scene. There is now an entrance fee, I think it's 30 per person, but I can't quite remember.
Torch Eight Street:
There are really a lot of people. If you want to take good photos, you need to come early, or stay in nearby homestays or hotels. The seaside cafes are also great for photos. There are also band performances in the evening, and don't forget to check in with the yellow car with the Weihai sign.
Sunset Castle:
Navigate directly to Sunset Castle. It's not far from Torch Eight Street. It's a great place for photos, but there's a lot of trash, and sometimes it's locked.
Naxiang Sea Scenic Area:
Windmills, beaches, surfboards, this place has a super long beach coastline and various photo spots. There are also many seagulls; bring some bread and a flock will come flying.
Xiaoshi Island:
A great place to watch the sunset. There's also a church-shaped cafe that's good for photos.

Yangma Island - Yantai
Yangma Island is located in the Yellow Sea, Muping District, Yantai City,of Shandong Province. sometimes referred to as “Horse Island”.
Me and my friends drove to Yangma Island. There are a few nice tourist spots with wonderful view.
First we were amazed by the sunset and we spent some time watching the sun hiding behind the horizon. It was very relaxing and nice but after a while we were trying to find a place where we can get coffee unfortunately nowhere really decent for coffee. It didn't take us too long to understand that next time better bring our own water/drinks and just enjoy the view.
Address: No.99, Tianma Road, Muping Yantai.

Shandong Sea View Recommendation: Yantai Yangma Island
How to spend five or six days vacation in Shandong?
Is anyone else as torn between Yantai and Weihai as I am!
🗺️ This route: Shanghai (Wuhan) ➡️ Zibo ➡️ Yantai ➡️ Qingdao
The attractions in Yantai are far apart, so it is recommended to rent a car 🚗 for more convenience. Book a car on the platform. Arrive at Yantai Station at 10:30 PM, and it is convenient and quick to pick up the car at the station parking lot.
This time staying near Yantai Station in Zhifu District.
To the west, you can reach the seaside of the development zone, and to the east, you can drive along Binhai East Road to Yangma Island.
On the second day, wake up naturally and head to Yangma Island.
The drive takes 50 minutes, the route is along the coast, and driving feels great!
From the Yangma Island Bridge, turn right to start a counterclockwise island tour.
After a lap, the most recommended spot is the "Zhang Island" scenic area, where you can take lots of beautiful photos!
Other island spots are similar, and there is not much desire to stop while driving around the island.
After half a day of island touring, you can drive to the development zone to watch the sunset 🌄 in the afternoon!
The scenery in Shandong is so beautiful and photogenic, see you in the next post!
