Qingdao Three-Day Relaxing Itinerary

It's still a bit cold in Qingdao in March and April, but it's totally fine to relax and unwind by the sea for a few days! Our three-day trip started at noon every day, mainly for rest, so we didn't go to many attractions. Here's a brief overview: 🌊DAY1 Xiaoyushan Park – Luxun Park – Qinyu Road – Naval Museum – Xiao Qingdao – Tuandao Seafood Market 🌊DAY2 Laoshan Mountain (Taiqing Scenic Area) – Xiao Li Buyi Korean Restaurant – May Fourth Square 🌊DAY3 Lover's Dam – Olympic Sailing Center – Tsingtao Beer Museum – Yingkou Seafood Market ❤️Highly Recommended❤️ 🏠Accommodation: Guanlan Mansion Seaview Holiday Villa (Mixc City, May Fourth Square, Qingdao). The location is excellent, right next to the seaside promenade. We stayed in the September room, which has a huge terrace. We loved watching the sea, and you can even watch the sunrise from bed 🌅. The photos on Trip.com don't do it justice. The host is handsome and very enthusiastic. There's a coffee shop and a swimming pool downstairs, perfect for relaxing. (Although we didn't stay there, Qinyu Hai, a guesthouse on Qinyu Road, had a great vibe when we went there for coffee. Recommended 👍) 🎨Dining [One] I recommend Bobo Beer House next to Yingkou. It's run by people from Northeast China who are warm and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. The food is also very good. [Two] Shuanghe Garden's sea urchin fried rice is better than Kaihai's! [Three] You must have a Korean meal. Anyway, it's much better than in Xi'an. We went to Xiao Li Buyi and enjoyed a mouthful of cheese. So happy 😊 ⚠️Things to Avoid and Notes⚠️ 1⃣️ The prices at Tuandao Seafood Market are a bit more expensive than at Yingkou. After buying seafood in Tuandao, we were taken to a shop in the market to have it processed, and it was really bad! It made us feel like we wasted our money on the seafood! It's right across from the beer stand. 2⃣️ If you go during this season, be sure to dress warmly, especially when going to Laoshan Mountain. The fog can roll in quickly, and the wind can pick up suddenly. You'll know if you catch a cold. 3⃣️ Just buy the regular ticket for the Tsingtao Beer Museum (A+B Hall), which includes two glasses of beer and some beer beans. You can buy a noodle skin at the 1903 Bakery when you leave, which is quite delicious.
