May Day Qingdao Guide | Avoid the crowds! Treasure Route

👒【Outfit Guide】The temperature difference between morning and evening in Qingdao is large during May Day, so it is recommended to bring a thin jacket + long skirt! A straw hat + sunglasses are a must-have for taking photos at the beach. They are the only thing you can rely on for sun protection in the afternoon💦 🚇【Hidden route exposed】Day1️⃣: 🔹Avoid the crowds on the pier! Go directly to "Wheat Island" to watch the sunset 🌅 (P2) 🔹Enjoy the sea view coffee at the niche coffee shop "Fu Sheng Shi Wei" ☕ (personally tested the chestnut cake is amazing) 🔹For dinner, go to "Yingkou Road Seafood Market" to select and process seafood yourself 🦀, which is half the price of the Internet celebrity shops! Day2️⃣: 🔹Climb "Signal Hill" at 8:00 am to overlook the red roofs⛰️ (tickets are only 5 yuan!)🔹Check in at the "University Road" mural wall at noon📸, the corner coffee shop "Bushe Day and Night" is super good for taking photos🔹Go to "Shilaoren Beach" in the afternoon to play paddle board🛶 (newbie-friendly, the coach is super patient) Day3️⃣: 🔹Take the "Laoshan Yangkou Line" cable car up the mountain⛰, experience the feeling of "Fairy Mountain on the Sea" surrounded by clouds and mist (remember to wear sneakers!)🔹After going down the mountain, go straight to "Qingshan Fishing Village" to eat farm food🌽, eating on the sea view terrace is so romantic~ 🍺【Local code】🔸If you want to drink beer, go to the food stalls in "Taitung Night Market", and the beer in plastic bags is authentic! 🔸Go to "Lao Xie Ye Wonton" for breakfast and queue up, the cuttlefish filling is a must-order 🦑🔸Don't buy Laoshan tea from the tourist attraction as a souvenir! Go to "Liqun Supermarket" to buy local biscuits and specialties, cheap and delicious~ ⚠️【Tips to avoid pitfalls】❌The May Fourth Square light show is very crowded, it is recommended to watch from a distance❌Don't go to the seafood restaurants recommended by taxi drivers, most of them are "black shops"! ❌The Laoshan cable car stops operating at 4pm, so don’t go too late! 📌【Photography location】🔺Badaguan Flower Wall (P3): Wear light-colored clothes for better photogenicness 🔺Reef at the Second Bathing Beach: Take pictures of the silhouette of the waves at high tide, it’s super stylish 🔺Yanerdao Cave: You can only enter after the tide goes out, remember to check the tide table in advance! 🌟The comment section is waiting for your questions!
