Red tiles, green trees, blue sea, and sky all in sight🌆 You can clearly see Zhanqiao and the stunning sea view of Little Qingdao~ The whole visit takes just 1 hour, with smooth stone paths, perfect for bringing elders and kids along👨👩👧👦 🌊Zhanqiao Guide: 📍Address: No.12 Taiping Road, Shinan District, Qingdao ⏰Best visiting time: 9-11 AM or before sunset 📸Must-do activities: - Feeding seagulls (best in autumn and winter) - Shooting the sunset "Orange Sea" (super dreamy) - Gazing at Little Qingdao Lighthouse from afar (very atmospheric) Qingdao’s iconic landmark! The 344-meter-long sea corridor is incredibly photogenic📸 Walking on Zhanqiao, waves crash beneath your feet, seagulls circle overhead (remember to bring oil-free bread to feed them🍞). The evening is the most stunning time, with the sunset casting golden light on the sea, the lighthouse and Huilan Pavilion complementing each other beautifully. Every snap is a masterpiece! I absolutely love it✨ 💡Tips for visiting: 1. Enter Signal Hill from the west gate to avoid tour groups 2. Zhanqiao is windy, bring a jacket to block the wind 3. Wear comfortable shoes for a more pleasant old town stroll 4. Both spots can be visited in half a day, great value for time 🚗Transportation tips: It’s only a 10-minute taxi ride from Signal Hill to Zhanqiao You can also take bus routes 228 or 225, 20 minutes direct This route is my favorite in Qingdao! Highly recommend everyone to plan it in—especially on good weather days, it’s simply breathtaking! 🥰
