I thought Nanjing was already beautiful enough, until I brought my child to Qingdao…..

People say winter is not suitable for travel, but in December in Qingdao, I encountered scenery more romantic than I imagined. On the first day in Qingdao, I went early to see the Siberian seagulls at Zhanqiao Pier. The sea and sky blend into one, with flocks of seagulls dancing gracefully. That vitality and grandeur instantly warmed away all the cold. Strolling through the old town, Fuzhou Branch Road surprisingly carries a charm somewhat reminiscent of Yihe Road in Nanjing—quiet and artistic. What warmed me the most was a small courtyard on University Road. Although the ginkgo leaves had all fallen, the golden ground was deliberately left for people to take photos—Qingdao’s winter also hides such gentle intentions ❤️ 1️⃣ Check-in suggestions: Watch seagulls at Zhanqiao Pier ➡ Ginkgo courtyard on University Road ➡ Fuzhou Mountain Road ➡ Xiaomai Island ➡ Shilaoren Beach (great for sunrise) Tested with a 100% photo success rate, sisters who need it can copy directly! 2️⃣ Dressing guide: Qingdao in December has already cooled down, with strong and chilly sea winds. Must-have items: down jacket, wool sweater, hat, scarf (warmth + photo props hhh) The down jacket I bought early for my son finally came in handy. As a super fan of "Nick Wilde" 🦊🐰, the Bosideng KIDS Zootopia collaboration down jacket made my child love it so much, he was super excited all the way, feeling like a member of Zootopia on a mission. The down jacket is soft, lightweight, and warm, with four-proof fabric hhh~ When the kid got stains from eating, a wipe cleaned it right off, no more headaches about washing down jackets! Even more reassuring is that it’s filled with 5A-grade antibacterial down, no strange smell in the new clothes, so sensitive skin kids can wear it safely. After 6 hours of crazy play outside, my child didn’t say he was cold at all, running and jumping lightly without burden~ I really know how to shop hhh~ 3️⃣ Parent-child color matching: This time the outfit focused on blue and white tones, surprisingly harmonious with Qingdao’s blue sea and sky, making photos very photogenic! I really love Qingdao. This winter trip to Qingdao completely refreshed my understanding of winter travel! It’s not as classical and solemn as Nanjing’s autumn, but it adds a sense of freedom, vitality, and gentleness in the sea breeze. If you also want to take your child out in winter, Qingdao will really bring you unexpected surprises.
