As you move forward, the distant call of the waves becomes clearer. The closer you get to the end, the fresher the sea breeze feels, carrying a faint scent of the ocean. Finally, at the end of the road, a vast sea unfolds before you. The deep blue surface glimmers under the sunlight, blending seamlessly with the sky. Standing here and looking back at Xiling Gorge Third Road feels like reminiscing about a journey full of stories, with the sea as the most beautiful finale. ■ How to Get There: ① Take Metro Line 3 to "Qingdao Station," walk north along Guangxi Road for 15 minutes, turn right at the tram tracks to enter the time tunnel. ② Take bus 6/26/202 to "Zhanqiao Station," pass through the sycamore tunnel of Badaguan and head towards the sea. ③ From Zhanqiao, walk west along the seaside wooden boardwalk, turn left at the red-roofed lookout tower, and let the sea breeze guide you to Xiling Gorge Third Road.
