Ultimate Two-Day Qingdao Tour Guide for College Students【Qingdao】
The detailed route map is already on the third slide, this article is all you need for food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation!
1️⃣Food: Based on my other posts, feedback from the sisters, and my own research, I've eaten Qingdao's fatty scraps, '13 Not Lean', and 'Ailaike' seafood stalls over the past two days, having two meals without hitting any 'landmines'.
I recommend the spicy shrimp, spicy crab, sea intestine rice, and garlic oysters that I've tried myself; they are all must-orders and highly recommended.
There are many people queuing up for dinner early!!! Also, the seafood I bought at Tuandao Farmers Market and had processed there was all excellent, with no disappointments!!!
Buying seafood at Tuandao Farmers Market, I think, is quite convenient and cheap. There's a wide variety of seafood, very fresh, and you can also bargain with the vendors. I had my seafood processed at Xiao Li Seafood in the market, originally priced at 75 yuan, I bargained down to 60 yuan including packaging fees, and the processed food was delicious. I hope the sisters won't hit any 'landmines'.
2️⃣Clothing: I wore a skirt plus a coat, it was a bit cold by the seaside, but still bearable. Sisters going next week can take this as a reference. PS: Wearing over-ear headphones or ear covers, scarf, will look very photogenic.
3️⃣Accommodation: I stayed in a duplex at Jinmao Bay, overall it was pretty good. It's very close to Qingdao Station, you can see the sea view as soon as you get off the train, and the subway is also very convenient.
4️⃣Transportation: On the first day, the sisters' itinerary can be completely done on foot, all the attractions are connected, and the roadside scenery is also very beautiful. The attractions are only a few hundred meters apart. On the second day, the sisters can choose to take the subway, just download the Qingdao subway ticket app and you're set.
5️⃣Photography: There will be many people taking photos at various places, and there are also many photographers. I had mine taken by an old man, it looked great on the camera, but I regretted a bit when I transferred them to my phone, haha. Sisters, consider carefully, you can bargain!!! Don't be naive and pay ten yuan per photo anymore, I paid 50 yuan for 16 photos, sisters can refer to this!
6️⃣Attraction Analysis: Badaguan Square has Ladder Alley, which is good for taking photos. When going to Zhan Bridge for photos, sisters can bring their own bread, fried dough sticks, etc., buying on the spot is not worth it! From the top of Signal Hill, you can see the beautiful panorama of Qingdao's southern city. Qinyu Road has benches that are great for photo ops. If buying flowers, it's recommended to bargain down to 15 yuan. The key point is that Little Qingdao Park is temporarily closed, don't make a wasted trip!!!
The bathing beach is very photogenic, recommended to visit.
