Zhanqiao Park(Qianhai Trestle)

Qingdao 4 days 3 nights|Easy, unhurried itinerary with elders. Qingdao is really perfect for lazy, slow travel. Taxis are super cheap, so make sure to take full advantage when traveling with a group. Except for Laoshan, most places cost around 10 yuan by taxi. This trip, except for Laoshan, we took taxis all the way, keeping a very relaxed pace and leisurely visiting the main attractions. 🏨 Accommodation: May Fourth Square 📅 DAY 1 Arrive at Qingdao Station|Xiaomai Island + Yan'er Island Arrived at Qingdao Station at noon, checked in, and under the beautiful sunshine, took a taxi straight to Xiaomai Island for 10.5 yuan. ▪️ Xiaomai Island The full loop around the island is about 2 km, but since the scenery is quite similar, we didn’t do the full loop. We returned via a middle path, about 1 km total, taking 1.5 hours, easy and stress-free. ▪️ Yan'er Island Very close to Xiaomai Island, only a 6-7 minute taxi ride, 9.2 yuan. I sincerely recommend visiting both! The scenery is completely different. The super long coastal boardwalk is perfect for photos, and you can even walk to the rocks and step into the sea. It’s a small, exquisite spot, and personally, I found it more stunning than Xiaomai Island. Spent 1 hour there, then took a taxi back to the hotel for 10.5 yuan. 📅 DAY 2 Laoshan Day Trip + May Fourth Square Light Show ◼︎ Laoshan Save a sunny day for Laoshan! The mountain and sea scenery is simply divine. ◼︎ May Fourth Square Light Show Returned to the hotel from Laoshan around 4 PM, rested a bit, then walked to May Fourth Square in the evening to watch the light show. The light show is very beautiful, but since it loops continuously, 20 minutes is enough. 📅 DAY 3 Old Town Citywalk|Badaguan + Second Beach + Zhanqiao Pier + Signal Hill ▫️ Badaguan The starting point for exploring Badaguan is Princess Building, a taxi ride costing 11.8 yuan. Wutong Avenue lined with vintage European-style villas stretches along the street, every step is a scenic spot, no need to look for attractions deliberately, every shot is a masterpiece. At the end is the Second Beach, with benches on the seaside boardwalk to sit, watch the sea, and enjoy the sea breeze. Nearby, street performers sing, creating a great atmosphere. Walking along the coast leads to Shihualou. Since the main goal was to enjoy the sea, we didn’t enter these buildings. ▫️ Old Town Took a taxi directly to Zhanqiao Pier, 11 yuan. The pier was crowded and felt average, but the nearby Old Town was very pleasant to stroll around. There are many old villas, perfect for photos. ▫️ Signal Hill Took a taxi from Old Town to Signal Hill, 9.2 yuan. Be sure to go up to the observation deck; otherwise, too many trees block the view of the red rooftops. Took a taxi back to the hotel from Signal Hill for 10.8 yuan. 📅 DAY 4 Healing Farewell|Xiaoyu Hill The high-speed train was at 2 PM this day. The last half-day of the trip was originally planned for casually exploring some small, off-the-beaten-path spots, but Xiaoyu Hill turned out to be a big surprise. Though called a hill, it’s actually a small slope, no pressure for elders at all. Also, there are fewer trees around the observation deck than at Signal Hill, offering an unobstructed view of the red rooftops—this is the Qingdao I had in mind. Accommodation 🏨Kangaroo Homestay for Qingdao Vacation Halfway up the hillside in Qingshan Fishing Village, surrounded by a hundred-acre tea garden, secluded by the mountain and sea, with amazing French afternoon tea 🏨SH.MOYE Luxurious Sea & Wild Sea View Hot Spring Homestay On the cliff edge of Laoshan, facing the mountain and sea, open the door to the beach, with beach barbecues and bonfire parties 🏨Qingdao Yunye Sea View Homestay (Laoshan Scenic Area Branch) Diaolongzui Village’s mountain and sea framed like a painting, at dusk open the door for a timeless mountain and sea view 🏨Yishan Yisu・Landscape Terrace Designer Boutique Homestay Qingshan Fishing Village’s secret mountain and sea realm, combining design aesthetics with local charm, terrace with stunning sea views

Morning: Zhanqiao Pier — Bu She Zhou Ye Café — Xiaoqingdao Park — First Bathing Beach — No. 5 Old Western-style House Afternoon: Yanerdao Park — Xiaomai Island Park — Qingdao Shazikou 1. Zhanqiao Pier To photograph Zhanqiao Pier, don’t just shoot the pier itself. The view of the pier partially hidden like a pipa (Chinese lute) is far more captivating than close-up shots taken from the pier. Navigate to "Li Weinong Park" and find two pine trees by the sea to use as foreground; this can create a god’s-eye perspective. 2. Bu She Zhou Ye Café An old Western-style house wrapped in vines, just quietly standing there sparks endless imagination. No wonder it was the filming location for Lu Han’s music video; it’s easy to capture a nostalgic vibe here. 3. Xiaoqingdao Park The best place in Qingdao to photograph the sea, famous for the dragon cypress tree that looks like a kindly old grandmother with a perm. From afar, you can see Qingdao Station, giving a cinematic urban feel. 4. First Bathing Beach There is a heart-shaped tree here, giving off a playful romantic vibe. If you want to shoot scenes like a romantic drama, this is the perfect spot to check in. 5. No. 5 Old Western-style House The red roof radiates a passionate atmosphere, as if you’ve traveled to Europe. Want to be the little princess in a fairy tale? Don’t miss this place. 6. Yanerdao Park Rocks, waves, wooden boardwalks, and poppies swaying in the breeze easily sketch a youthful and vibrant scene. It’s a great setting for a pure campus love story. 7. Xiaomai Island Park There are five popular trees here. The best suggestion is to use two of them as foreground elements and shoot upward toward the sky to create a mysterious futuristic feel. 8. Qingdao Shazikou Qingdao’s own Santorini, with layers of red roofs that glow golden at sunset, making it easy to capture heartwarming cinematic shots.

💙The blue sea embraces the long pier, with a broad view where the sea meets the sky 🕊️The sea breeze gently blows, and seagulls circle adding a touch of liveliness 🏛️European-style buildings along the coast, charming and perfect for photos 🌞The summer sunlight is soft, strolling along the shore brings complete relaxation Leisurely seaside walks, unlocking Qingdao’s unique summer charm Black Diamond Release

The sea breeze blows from the end of Xilingxia Road, carrying a faint salty scent, rustling the pine branches by the roadside with delicate sounds. The sunlight is just right, the sea surface sparkling like a field of jumping gold, and the distant pier looks like a thin line gently tying the shore to the sea. Walking further in, the walls of Longjiang Road are covered with fairy tales—Miyazaki's Totoro hides behind the vines, and the Klein blue characters for "Qingdao" quietly glow under the sunlight. This path from the coast to the old town captures Qingdao's gentlest side all in one day. · 📍Route plan: Xilingxia Third Road → Xilingxia First Road → Pier → Longjiang Road Comic Street · 1⃣️ Xilingxia Road The red and white road signs here are super photogenic, giving off a full Japanese manga vibe. Standing at the T-junction facing the sea, using a telephoto lens to capture the road's extension effect is amazing! Walking towards Xilingxia First Road, there is a downhill section with a crosswalk. Standing in the middle and shooting from a low angle looking up, the sea breeze blows, making hair and clothes flutter, like stepping into an animation~ Li Weinong Park is a hidden gem. Inside the park, framing the sea and pier between two trees in the leisure corridor makes every shot look like a movie scene! · 2⃣️ Pier Qingdao's landmark, extending over 400 meters into the sea, with a small pavilion called Huilan Pavilion at the end. Walking on the pier, you can hear the waves hitting the rocks, creating a full atmospheric vibe~ · 3⃣️ Longjiang Road Comic Street The entire street is covered with Miyazaki and various cartoon murals, like stepping into an anime world. 📸Must-visit spots: The Klein blue "Qingdao" wall of "ONE CUP"—the line moves quickly, so you can get your shot in just a few minutes. The "Reluctant Day and Night" corner coffee shop has a strong vintage feel; it's best to avoid shooting at noon due to backlighting. The Totoro graffiti wall is diagonally opposite the coffee shop, featuring various Miyazaki characters. Along the street, there are many Qingdao cultural and creative shops and general stores; just wandering around is very healing.
