The Nordsee Manor - Qingdao Laoshan

My thoughts of you have finally reached Laoshan. I've been to Qingdao countless times, but this was my first time there. The experience was beyond expectations. The mountain and seaside setting, as well as the cleanliness, were all superb. The facilities were comprehensive, and the owner and housekeeper were incredibly welcoming. It was like experiencing five-star service at a B&B price! The hotel is located right on the seashore, offering stunning views of the mountains and the ocean. I climbed Laoshan in the morning, and then sat in the cafe that evening, listening to the waves crashing against the rocks while sipping an iced coffee. The occasional seagull flyby added a touch of dreaminess to the sweltering summer. I savored the seafood served right on the shore and witnessed my first sunrise over the sea. I could see it from my room, but I still ran to the shore. At the crack of dawn, it felt like my energy was awakened. Time flew by this time, so I'll definitely return after summer is over to experience it again. A word of caution for those coming later: the Yangkou Coast Control, which can be a bit of a hassle if you're driving, is a good idea. It's probably because of this that it's so rarely discovered, otherwise it's hard to book a room.

At first, my impression of "hospitality Shandong" was still in the advertising words, and I always felt that it was just a slogan to attract tourists. But after staying in Nuoxi Manor in Qingdao this time, I really felt that the so-called "hospitality" is not just an empty slogan, but the enthusiasm and delicacy hidden deep in the bones of Shandong people. That kind of warm hospitality seems to flow quietly in every detail. We arrived very late, thinking that we could only check in by ourselves, but unexpectedly we were greeted by several smiling staff at the door. They helped us carry our luggage and turned on the air conditioner in the room in advance, and we were greeted by a warm room like spring. At that moment, all the fatigue seemed to be instantly smoothed out. Not only is the service meticulous, they also specially set up a butler group for us, and almost every question will be responded to in a timely manner, whether it is restaurant recommendations or surrounding travel information, meticulous and thoughtful, as if everything is prepared for our comfort and convenience. It is particularly worth mentioning that they also gave three professional follow-up photos. Each photo is taken naturally and vividly. We are integrated with the vast beach under the lens. The photos convey not only the vastness of the sea, but also the laziness and calmness of the vacation, which makes people feel warm, as if the sea breeze and sunshine are also witnessing the tranquility and beauty of this moment for us. The geographical location here is also very advantageous. It takes less than ten minutes to walk to the beach. We stayed in a sea view room. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the vast sea is unobstructed. Every morning, the moment the curtains are opened, the morning light and the blue waves on the sea surface make people feel relaxed and happy; at night, sitting on the terrace, the sea breeze blows gently, the tide rises and falls, and listening to the sound of waves hitting the shore, I can't help but feel a little peace and relief in my heart. Nuoxi Manor is not a luxurious high-end hotel, but the warmth and quietness it exudes make people feel extremely comfortable. There is not much decoration here, but it has the unique intimacy and human touch of the seaside, and every detail is sincere and caring. Living here, I really understand that the so-called "hospitable Shandong" is not a momentary boast, but this land and its people have long interpreted what true warmth and hospitality are in every daily detail. This is really not AI! My sister and I's true evaluation!

To be honest, the design is quite touching, especially the sound of the wind and waves at the seaside. The freshness beats everything, including the sea cockroaches all over the ground. Pool, lawn, fence, cafe. Fully immerse yourself in the romance and lie down willingly. The sunrise and morning glow were a pleasant surprise.
