Beyond the hustle and bustle of the city, we have found a tranquil oasis—Qingdao Mount Laojun International Tourism and Holiday Resort. Here, lush greenery and sparkling waters complement each other, as if nature has intricately woven a poem. Our first stop is the Mount Laojun Forest Park and camping base. Immersed in a sea of green, we relish the rustling of leaves in the breeze, as if nature itself is softly humming. A simple tent serves as our bridge to an intimate encounter with nature, allowing us to sleep under the stars and wake to the chirping of birds. Laojun Old Street is like a vivid scroll painting, displaying the local customs and culture. The aroma from the snack stalls is tantalizing, with the savory taste of roujiamo and the smoothness of beef noodles leaving a lasting impression. The coolness of ice bowl cold noodles brings a refreshing relief to the hot summer. At the end of the street, performances of street dance, bands, and Chinese dance take turns on stage, adding endless vitality to the old street. The pet paradise is a dreamland for close encounters with small animals. Watching the children play with the animals fills the heart with joy. Although some facilities are closed due to development plans, the presence of these animals still adds a lot of fun to the place. Qingdao Mount Laojun International Tourism and Holiday Resort is a place that makes visitors linger and forget to return. With its unique charm, it attracts countless tourists to explore. Here, we have felt the tranquility and beauty of nature, experienced the simplicity and warmth of the countryside. This journey is not just a physical trip, but also a purification of the soul.
