I went in late August. The temperature was over 30 degrees Celsius that day, and the afternoon sun was very strong, so it was extremely hot. To emphasize, there was basically no air conditioning in the three pavilions, and there were too many people, so the experience was just so-so. It was also very difficult to get a taxi.
You can learn about the history of Tsingtao Beer, and you even get two free beers during the visit. I bought a set meal that included food, and at the exit I received a free meal and two more beers, which was great.

Family, you absolutely can't miss the Underwater World when you come to Qingdao, especially that nearly 100-meter-long underwater tunnel!

Here's a guide for you:

Itinerary
We recommend starting with the Dreamy Jellyfish Palace, where the colorful jellyfish under the lights create a dreamlike scene, perfect for taking photos. Next, head to the Seal Pavilion to see the adorable seals. Now for the highlights: the Marine Life Pavilion and Whale Pavilion have many precious specimens, where you can learn a lot about the ocean. Then, there's the incredible underwater tunnel! Stretching nearly 100 meters, walking in feels like being surrounded by fish from every angle, with sharks, turtles, and rays swimming right beside you—the feeling is indescribable. It's also a great place for taking photos; even a simple shot on the escalator has a great atmosphere.
Finally, head to the freshwater aquarium to see some unique freshwater creatures.
Show Times: Don't forget to check the times for the mermaid show and the shark and human show; they're spectacular. Arrive half an hour early to secure a good front-row seat.
Qingdao Underwater World is located on Laiyang Road in the south of the city, adjacent to Luxun Park, offering convenient transportation. The museum is divided into an intertidal zone, an underwater tunnel, and a ship cabin exhibit. The tunnel is 82 meters long, with moving walkways gently navigating the area. Manta rays, turtles, and sharks circling overhead create a striking visual experience. The Dreamy Jellyfish Palace, with its changing lights, creates a sense of immersion in the blue starry sky, perfect for photo ops. The shark-man dance and mermaid show are performed three times daily, with lively commentary that will keep children captivated. However, during National Day, crowds are high, and there are often three layers of mobile phones stacked against the glass, so avoid visiting during peak hours. Some tanks have scratches on the glass, which can be detrimental to the viewing experience. The export goods area is long, making it easy for children to cling to toys. Tickets are 170 yuan, and you can save 20 yuan by purchasing in advance on the official website. It's cheaper than Polar Ocean World, but the animal species are slightly smaller. It's recommended to enter at 9:00 AM, right when the gates open, to experience the tunnel first and then the show, which takes two hours. Overall, the museum has a 4-star rating and is suitable for families and couples. Remember to bring a jacket, as the temperature inside the museum is a constant 22°C.

What adorable little sea lions! The child was initially drawn to the sea lions arguing on the other side, but when they looked down, one of the sea lions stood up, thinking the child wanted to eat. It was so funny!
The animals here are so cute! The polar bears are so adorable, the penguins jumping up eagerly to eat are hilarious, and the beluga whales are not only beautiful, they can even sing and spin around!

Overall, it was quite good. Although it was the off-season, the scenery was still very beautiful. There were many kinds of animals, and the facilities in each venue were very complete. The shows were also very good. I recommend everyone to visit. Tickets are even cheaper in the off-season, and it's actually very, very close to the bird park on foot.
The facilities are a bit old, probably because they've been there for a while, but the animals are super cute. The shows are also very good, so you should definitely go. Be sure to check the show times in advance!

I picked it up on a weekend in early November. It wasn't crowded, the temperature was perfect, and it was very comfortable to stroll around.
From feeding the animals at the entrance to leaving, I didn't have time to take pictures.
You can sneak some in! 🤫 Saves a lot of money! 😁 The only downside is the non-motorized playground for kids. 😜 Free parking is such a great deal!
Parking tip: Use the Jiajiayuan parking lot as your navigation. It's a short walk from the exit when you're tired. 😂
Visitors lined up in long queues, streaming into the Xixiakou Shendiao Wildlife Park. The park's gates were tall, painted with designs of birds and beasts. The paint was flaking, but it still managed to exude an air of majesty. Winding paths snaked through the park, lined with iron cages. Tigers and leopards, their fur dull, crouched in corners, barely batting an eyelid at the visitors. A peacock, indeed, spread its feathers, but they were speckled with mud. After a few shakes, they folded them back down. Children applauded, while adults held up their phones, flashing their cameras, concluding they'd seen enough. A black bear bowed, begging for food. Visitors tossed it biscuits. It clumsily caught them and stuffed them into its mouth, its eyes glazed with greed. The keeper stood at a distance, uninvolved, perhaps accustomed to such sights. Turning around the rockery, an old monkey sat alone on a raised platform, apart from the rest of the group. It stared into the distance, its gaze past the iron bars, into the unknown. Visitors streamed past it noisily, but no one stopped to look. When we left the park, we saw the black bear again, still bowing.

I went there around 3:00 PM on National Day. I didn't check the schedule and just wandered around the park, catching whatever I could. I saw a performance called "Defending the Last Chicken of Langya" and a juggler. That evening, I went to see the National Show Langya, which was truly wonderful. I went straight to the Water Show. The line was incredibly long, and once inside, only seats were left at the side, but that was fine; I could see everything. I only saw the first act of Langya. I watched acts two, three, and four from the periphery. It rained intermittently, and I left the park at 9:30 AM, missing the final fireworks display.
Visiting at night is recommended! Linyi's Langya Ancient Town is a captivating cultural and tourist attraction. Its fully immersive concept recreates the splendor of Langya. Its seven themed areas, each with its own distinct character, feature exquisitely restored Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, including government offices and academies, creating a sense of time travel. The scenic area offers a wealth of cultural experiences, including intangible cultural heritage crafts and calligraphy workshops, allowing visitors to experience the heart of history. The entertainment industry is a highlight, with over 100 performances, such as "National Show Langya," performed daily, combining audiovisual effects with stunning real-life scenes. Furthermore, the scenic area offers affordable prices, and the snack alleys are filled with the lively atmosphere of life. However, during peak season, tickets for popular performances are hard to come by, and some areas can feel overly commercial.

I went there purely to see the pandas. The environment was nice, large, and quiet, with no strong smells. There was also an amusement park and a Ferris wheel near the entrance, and a large plaza with a flock of pigeons.
Compared to other popular zoos, Dalian Zoo offers a great option where you don't have to queue to see the pandas. The facilities and services are also relatively high-quality, and the zoo boasts a wide variety of animals, making it a great destination for animal lovers.
However, please note that there are two separate shuttle bus routes for the predator enclosure and the free-range area, requiring you to pay twice for each ride. Each ticket costs 20 yuan.

This was our first time bringing our child to a water park, and they had a fantastic time. There were rides for both adults and children, and our child didn't want to leave even when the park closed. The staff at the changing room, Ms. Kong, was very patient and helped us with our locker storage questions. Thumbs up!
Today I brought the whole family to the water park. We played all day, and the kids were having so much fun they couldn't find us. A kind lady in the changing room, Ms. Kong, was worried the kids were cold, so she helped them put on towels and waited for them there. I was really touched.

Definitely buy the four-venue package!!! It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it. You can spend a whole day there without getting tired, and you even get to see four shows. Even adults can have a great time without kids!!!
Dalian Sun Asia Ocean World is a place full of mystery and wonder. Here, you can fully appreciate the charm of various marine life and experience the magic of nature. Whether it's the mysterious deep sea or the colorful coral reefs, you'll find it unforgettable.

The Yellow River Estuary Ecological Tourism Area is truly amazing! The moment you enter, you're enveloped in its unique ecological atmosphere. The natural scenery is breathtaking; the vast wetlands are invigorating, and the diverse birdlife soaring above them is spectacular. Walking along the trails, you can observe many rare plants and animals up close, feeling like you've stepped into a natural ecological museum. The facilities are excellent, with clear signage so you won't get lost. There are plenty of rest areas to relax in. The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive, patiently answering questions and offering assistance. At the Yellow River Estuary Ecological Tourism Area, you can also learn a great deal about the Yellow River, such as its evolution and culture—it's both fun and educational. There's also a dedicated viewing platform offering panoramic views of the entire area, perfect for taking stunning photos. In short, the Yellow River Estuary Ecological Tourism Area is definitely worth a visit; whether you want to get close to nature or learn about ecology, you'll find it here.
The Yellow River Estuary Ecological Tourism Area, which I visited this time, is located in Kenli District, Dongying City, Shandong Province, and is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction. It boasts a unique confluence of river and sea landscapes and a rich wetland ecosystem, making it a paradise for birds and featuring distinctive landscapes such as the red carpet formed by Suaeda salsa and reeds. However, I personally felt it fell short of a five-star rating; perhaps my expectations were too high. This might be a case of the saying, "The higher the hope, the greater the disappointment."
