"Escape from Beijing" stop number seven, I chose this city kissed by the sea breeze – Qingdao.

Two days and one night, averaging 600+ per person. Measure the old European city with your steps, experience the seafood carnival with your taste buds, and capture the orange sea sunset with your lens. This guide of "mountains, sea, and everyday life" is dedicated to you who want a short escape! Trip highlights: Explore the essence of Qingdao in 48 hours "Little Kenting" Xiaomai Island: A peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides. The circular trail connects the white lighthouse and the rocky coast. At sunset, the orange sea's light and shadow are so romantic that it takes your breath away. The architecture of various countries in Badaguan: 200+ European-style villas, the Danish fairy tale of the Princess Building, the Republic of China style of Huashi Building, and the movie-like blockbuster photos taken under the shade of plane trees. Qingdao Beer Museum: In the old factory building from 1903, taste the original draft beer that is only fresh for 24 hours, and the tipsy experience in the Drunk Room is novel and interesting. 4 Fushan Bay Light Show a: The buildings in May Fourth Square are transformed into giant screens, and the neon lights are reflected on the sea, as if you are in a cyberpunk world. Mount Lao hiking: The Taoist mountain and the coastline merge together. The millennium Ginkgo of Taiqing Palace and the tidal sound of Yangkou Beach are full of healing value. Itinerary: A two-day and one-night trip without going back Day 1: Strolling in the old city + walking along the coastline Morning: Badaguan → Second Bathing Beach Badaguan: From the flowering peach trees on Shaoguan Road to the plane trees on Linhuaiguan Road, it is recommended to take retro photos in front of Huashi Building, and catch the sea and crabs on the Taipingjiao Reef Beach. Second Bathing Beach: Few people and clear water, lie flat on the beach to watch the sea, or check in at the same dam as in "Goblin" (Outfit suggestion: light-colored long skirt + straw hat, high photo yield!). Afternoon: Beer Museum → Olympic Sailing Center Beer Museum: The 60 yuan ticket includes two glasses of beer + beer beans. The tilted space in the Drunk Room is super interesting! Dengzhou Road Beer Street nearby can continue for supper. Olympic Sailing Center: Walk on Lover's Dam, take ins-style photos at the sailing boat marina, and the light and shadow of the "May Wind" sculpture at dusk are absolutely beautiful. Evening: Fushan Bay Light Show → Taidong Night Market May Fourth Square: The light show every Friday/Saturday is a must-see! It is recommended to take a seat in advance, and the drone's perspective is even more shocking. Taidong Night Market: Spicy fried clams, mackerel dumplings, and poke meat... 50 yuan per person to eat until you are full! Avoid the Pichai Courtyard, locals love this place more. Day 2: Mountain and sea wonders + artistic old streets Morning: Zhanqiao Pier → Longjiang Road Animation Street Zhanqiao Pier: Catch the sea and pick up shells at low tide, and take photos with seagulls (there are fewer seagulls in May, but the Huilan Pavilion under the morning light is still a good photo spot). Longjiang Road: Miyazaki animation-like graffiti walls, the aroma of coffee mixed with the sea breeze, a must for art youths. Afternoon: Laoshan Yangkou Line → Qingshan Fishing Village Laoshan Yangkou: Hike the seaside plank road, take the cable car to overlook the mountains and seas, and recommend Mingxia Cave and Lion Peak. Qingshan Fishing Village: Red-tiled houses and tea gardens are scattered, catch the sea and pick up shells or experience a fisherman's family fun, and return in the evening. Temporarily put aside the hustle and bustle of Beijing and go to Qingdao to blow the sea breeze!
