The beauty here is simply intoxicating!

Let me show you the exclusive romance of Qingdao in winter. Imagine, nearly 100,000 Siberian seagulls gather on the Zhanqiao Pier. How spectacular! Remember to come around 3 pm. At dusk, the combination of seagulls and sunset is so beautiful that you will be lost for words. Also, wandering around the old town is a great experience. Here is a simple and practical 3-day-2-night winter travel guide. You're welcome! My itinerary is as follows: Day 1: Start from Xiling Gorge, feed seagulls at Zhanqiao Pier, feel the tranquility at St. Michael's Cathedral, take photos on Hayao Miyazaki Street, walk along University Road and Signal Hill, and end the perfect day with snacks on Taidong Snack Street and the night view of May Fourth Square. Day 2: Start from Qin Island Road, see military equipment at the Naval Museum, enjoy the scenery at Xiaoqingdao Park, Lu Xun Park, and Xiaoyushan Park, relax at the beach, feel the exotic atmosphere at Badaguan Scenic Area, and end the day with the night view of the Third Bathing Beach. Day 3: Visit Qingren Dam, Yan'er Island, and Xiaomai Island, enjoy the romance at Sea Love Park, enjoy the sunshine at Shilaoren Bathing Beach, and finally see the colorful houses at Shazikou. Friendly reminder: The days are short in Qingdao in winter. Don't be greedy. Enjoy each place slowly. These places are a must-see: 1. Zhanqiao Pier: A paradise for seagulls. The best feeding time is 8–10 am. 2. Hayao Miyazaki Street: A popular check-in place with beautiful comic walls. 3. Naval Museum: A paradise for military fans. You can enter with an on-site reservation. 4. Badaguan Scenic Area: The small western-style buildings are unique, and the evergreen trees are not to be missed. 5. Xiaoyushan Park: The view is great, and you can enjoy the sea view and the old town. 6. Yan'er Island: The boardwalk, reefs, and sea of flowers are like scenes in comics. 7. Xiaomai Island: A free island with beautiful sunsets waiting for you to enjoy. 8. Shazikou: A great place to take photos of colorful houses. Remember to bring a telephoto lens. 9. May Fourth Square: The light show and night view are stunning. 10. Taidong Snack Street: A food gathering place and a paradise for foodies. Accommodation recommendation: Near Qingdao Station or May Fourth Square, convenient for travel. Transportation guide: Mainly subway. Take a taxi for distant attractions. That's all. I hope your trip to Qingdao will be as wonderful as mine!
