Qingdao's 1 Yuan Coastal Loop Bus is legendary! The sea views along the way are absolutely stunning

Recommendation: When you visit Qingdao, you must take the 1 Yuan Coastal Loop Bus at least once!!! This is definitely the best value for 1 yuan in Qingdao💰 🌄 On my last day in Qingdao, I went to Laoshan and unexpectedly discovered this hidden gem of a coastal loop bus route. The 618 bus only costs 1 yuan! It runs from Yangkou to Yakou with 21 stops🚌 The sea views along the way are truly breathtaking! At the end, you can overlook the entire Qingshan Fishing Village. The best part? No tickets, no hiking, it’s all free! 🚗 How to get there: 1️⃣ Public transport: From downtown, you can take a taxi or bus to Yangkou Station, then transfer to the 618 coastal loop bus. ⚠️ On the way to Yakou, sit on the driver’s side facing the sea; on the return trip, sit on the opposite side. 2️⃣ Self-driving: First navigate to Yangkou Station, then to Qingshan Fishing Village. 🌟 Recommended stops along the way: 1️⃣ Fanlingqian: There’s a beautiful European-style house here. Sitting facing the sea, daydreaming and drinking coffee☕ is so relaxing~ Just a few steps ahead you can get down to the beach to play🏖️ 2️⃣ Huangshan South: Circular road + red house + sea🌊 Every snapshot looks like a masterpiece! It’s super photogenic!📸 3️⃣ Yakou: The final stop is a huge surprise! Walk back 200 meters and you can overlook the entire Qingshan Fishing Village. The blue sea paired with red rooftops🏠 is truly dreamy✨ 💡 Tips: 1. It’s best to go on a sunny day for the most beautiful scenery. 2. The views from the bus are amazing, so be sure to have your camera ready. 3. It’s recommended to go around 3 or 4 PM to catch the beautiful sunset.
