You should always take a trip to Qingdao, feel the evening breeze of the Orange Sea, watch the sunrise at the Shilaoren Beach🌅, stroll along Qinyu Road, wander around Xiaomai Island, experience the red bricks and green trees under the blue sky and sea🌳, and this overwhelming romance. . 🍊Signal Hill The best viewing spot for red tiles and green trees, but it takes 20 minutes to climb to the top. There is a rotating observation deck on the summit which charges a fee, but it's not necessary to go there, as the scenery from the other observation decks is equally beautiful. . 🍊Xiaoyushan Park Half beach coast and half shaded by green trees. It takes five minutes to reach the top of the mountain⛰️. Due to the bad weather, I chose to go to Signal Hill instead of Xiaoyushan Park. . 🍊Qingdao Catholic Church 💒 Also known as St. Michael's Cathedral, its Gothic architecture is outstanding‼️ The shooting spot next to the 1907 Film Club rooftop recommended online is on the top of an abandoned residential building. When I went there, the door was locked, and it was quite desolate. I don't recommend going there alone. The recent decorations placed at the entrance are quite annoying😡 Additionally, the rooftop of the Manxin Hotel near the train station also has a good spot. . 🍊University Road, Longjiang Road Anime Graffiti Wall A must-visit spot in Qingdao, with old foreign-style houses, cafes, and red walls among green trees, very artistic, but super crowded, you have to queue to take photos📸. . 🍊Qinyu Road, Luxun Park Next to each other, sunset, seaside, cafes, reefs, pines, just this combination is very romantic. . 🍊Xiaomai Island The most beautiful and satisfying place of my trip to Qingdao, fulfilled all my imaginations of the seaside of Qingdao, the fairy shooting spot of the internet-famous tree is absolutely gorgeous‼️‼️‼️ . 🍊Badagou, Xilingxia Road, Sanlu The filming location of the web drama 'The Best of Us', blue sea and sky with 🌳, embankments, very photogenic, just a bit too sunny🌞. . 🍊Qingdao Zhanqiao Pier Feels like the pier is about to break, way too crowded, better to admire from a distance. . 🍊May Fourth Square, Olympic Sailing Center Just pass by and check it in if you like, it's up to personal preference. . 🍊Itinerary Day1 Yan'er Island—Taidong Night Market🍧 . Day2 Qinyu Road—Luxun Park—University Road Internet Celebrity Corner—ONE CUP (Qingdao)—Anime Road—Totoro Graffiti Wall—Bùshě Day and Night Coffee☕️—Signal Hill⛰️—Former Site of the Governor's Mansion—Tuandao Agricultural Market Seafood Processing . Day3 Sunrise at Shilaoren Beach🌅—Xiaomai Island—Catholic Church💒—Badagou, Xilingxia Road, Sanlu . ❤️❤️❤️Tips: 1️⃣Do good sun protection, check the weather before going to the beach, if it's rainy, the effect will be much worse 2️⃣It's recommended to start early to avoid crowds for a better experience 3️⃣Download the subway app in advance, it's cost-effective💯, if it's crowded, taking a taxi🚗 is the most economical 4️⃣For accommodation, it's best to stay near May Fourth Square, or at least near a subway🚇 station for convenient travel
