Qingdao, a poetic invitation from the romantic city

[Rose] On the coast of the Yellow Sea, there is a city full of romance, and that is Qingdao. Let us set foot on this charming land together and feel its unique romantic style. [Rose] St. Michael's Cathedral, this magnificent building stands quietly in a corner of the city. Its towering spire and exquisite carvings seem to tell the traces of time. When the sun shines on the outer wall of the church, the mottled light and shadows interweave to create a dreamy picture. Walking into the church, the solemn atmosphere makes people feel calm, and the soft light shining through the colored glass windows adds a mysterious and warm color to the entire space. [Rose] Although Xiaoyu Mountain is not very tall, it offers a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Qingdao. Climbing up the winding mountain road, the breeze blows across your face, bringing a hint of coolness. Standing on the observation deck on the top of the mountain, you can see the endless sea in front of you, with surging waves hitting the rocks on the shore. The red tiles, green trees, blue sea and blue sky in the distance complement each other, forming a beautiful city picture. [Rose] Signal Hill is like a pearl in the city. Climb up to the rotating observation tower on the top of the mountain and enjoy the 360-degree view of Qingdao's beautiful scenery. The tree-lined streets, the well-proportioned buildings and the busy port, everything seems so harmonious and orderly. Here, time seems to slow down, allowing people to fully enjoy the tranquility and beauty. [Rose] The pier extends into the sea, like a rainbow connecting the land and the sea. Walking on the pier, the sea breeze blows gently and the waves hit the bridge, making crisp sounds. In the distance, ships are coming and going and seabirds are flying in the sky. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, shining with golden light and is beautiful beyond words. [Rose] Little Qingdao is like a green gem inlaid in the sea. The island is shaded by green trees and filled with the fragrance of flowers. Stroll along the path around the island, feel the sea breeze and listen to the sound of the waves. The lighthouse on the island emits bright light at night, guiding the direction for sailing ships and adding a mysterious color to the island. [Rose] Lover's Dam is a symbol of love. Here, couples stroll hand in hand, enjoying their sweet moments. The white lighthouse on the dam is particularly eye-catching under the blue sky. At night, the lights on the dam light up, creating a romantic atmosphere that makes people intoxicated. [Rose] May Fourth Square is named after the May Fourth Movement. The "May Wind" sculpture on the square, with its fiery red color, symbolizes the enthusiasm and vitality of the people of Qingdao. Whenever night falls and the light show begins, colorful lights jump on the tall buildings, showing the modernity and prosperity of Qingdao. [Rose] Olympic Sailing Center is a bright business card of Qingdao. Sailboats are anchored in the harbor, their white sails dancing in the wind. Many international sailing events have been held here, witnessing the efforts and dreams of countless athletes. Strolling in the Olympic Sailing Center, you can feel the charm of ocean sports and imagine the infinite possibilities of the future. [Rose] Qingdao, this romantic city, weaves moving stories with its beautiful scenery, history and culture. Let us walk into it, feel its pulse, listen to its breathing, and embrace its romance.
