I'm already looking forward to spring in Qingdao this year!

🌼 With gentle breezes and picturesque scenery, Qingdao's spring is truly poetic. From this month until the scorching summer days, this coastal city will be adorned in vibrant green. Whether you explore the historic districts or the azure coastline, the blooming flowers offer breathtaking views. Today, let me guide you through the wonders of spring in Qingdao and experience the unique charm of this beautiful season! 🌟 Flower Viewing Guide 📍 JinKou Road Yulan Magnolias Facing the sea, with spring flowers in full bloom, imagine enjoying a cup of coffee and a good book under the Yulan Magnolia trees. This is my ideal prelude to spring. 📍 Zhongshan Park Cherry Blossoms The Cherry Blossom Avenue may be bustling with people, but the sight of the delicate pink blossoms is enough to make you forget all the hustle and bustle. 📍 Laoshan Cherry Blossoms I recommend visiting Wole Village and Dadonghe Village. The cherry blossoms there resemble pink clouds, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The cherry blossoms in Yangjia Mountain are a hidden gem of spring. The Pastoral Life Festival offers a unique experience, where you can enjoy the blossoms while strolling through the market. 📍 Yuqing Botanical Garden Tulips As soon as you enter, you'll be greeted by a vast expanse of tulips in various colors and varieties. Located next to Zhanshan Temple, you can also make a wish after admiring the flowers, hoping for good fortune to arrive with the spring. 📍 Sanming South Road Cherry Blossoms The cherry blossoms along this quiet road are simply captivating. While admiring the beauty, I couldn't help but feel grateful for this moment of tranquility. 📍 Licun Park Crabapple Blossoms Missed the cherry blossoms in the city? Don't worry, the romantic crabapple blossoms are equally stunning. The southernmost part of the park boasts the densest concentration of crabapple trees, where the blossoms are at their peak, as if the entire essence of spring is concentrated here. 📍 Tangdaowan Park Rapeseed Flowers Every April, this seaside rapeseed flower field is a must-visit spot in Qingdao! Take a special flower viewing train and immerse yourself in the golden sea of flowers, feeling the breath of spring all around you. 📍Jinkou Road Wisteria Flowers During the May Day holiday, you might just catch the wisteria in full bloom. The combination of old houses and wisteria flowers creates a unique and charming scene. 📍 Fushan Branch Road Roses Next to the rainbow stairs, roses bloom in abundance, a true delight for city walk enthusiasts. 📍 Zhongshan Park Snowball Viburnum The clusters of small white flowers create a perfect backdrop for photos, making it a paradise for photography lovers. 📍Lian San Island Coreopsis With its long blooming period, you don't have to worry about missing the coreopsis. The flowers by the sea complement the blue sky and white clouds, as if you can hear the melody of "Little Yellow Flowers in Stories" playing softly in your ears. 🍽️ Food Recommendations 🥟 Haiping Wonton The preserved egg wontons are moist and flavorful, making it hard to stop at just one. I recommend trying a mix of flavors. Their microwaved skewers are also a specialty, with portions large enough for two people! 🦑 Tianlun Seafood Home Cooking The sea intestine with rice is a must-try! The sauce is rich and savory, and the sticky texture after mixing is simply irresistible. The fried squid is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sweet, spicy, and garlicky flavor that lingers on the palate. 🍲 Silla Ginseng Chicken Soup Even in Qingdao, you should try authentic Korean cuisine like Silla Ginseng Chicken Soup. The herbal taste is subtle yet pleasant, and the ingredients like glutinous rice, chestnuts, and herbs are all very nourishing. The soup is thick and fragrant, and the chicken is so tender that it falls off the bone. Dipping it in the soy sauce adds another layer of flavor. 🎉 Spring is a season of hope and beauty. Come to Qingdao and join me for a stroll through the flower fields and savor the delicious food!
