Stay in Qingdao! Just a 3-minute walk to the sea + downstairs is fully packed with food, fun, and entertainment

Who gets it! Choosing the right homestay in Qingdao saves you half a day of travel😭 The Sea Shepherd Homestay (Carnival Hisense Plaza Branch) truly nails "convenience + romance," and after staying here, it’s definitely on the must-stay list in Qingdao! Opening the door is a surprise—clean and spacious rooms, bedding soft like wrapped in clouds, and the best part is the window seat! Pull back the curtains to catch a glimpse of the blue sea, wake up to the sea breeze in the morning, and watch the pink-purple sunset spread across the sky in the evening. You get an exclusive sea view without squeezing into crowded spots🌊 The location is truly unbeatable! A 2-minute walk to the beach, and at low tide, you can grab the free shovel provided by the homestay to go clam digging and collect little sea snails—fresh seafood unlocked directly😋 Right downstairs is Carnival Hisense Plaza, home to the nation’s first 30-meter giant pink capsule toy machine right at the entrance. Perfect for photos, and for 49.9 yuan you can draw a blind box and get big-brand lipsticks or trendy toys as surprises! When you’re tired of shopping, head straight to the 6,000㎡ trendy play zone "Hi-Sen Ji Le Super Playground," where you can enjoy over 80 activities including bowling, VR, and archery with one ticket. Perfect for couples’ dates or family outings. The nights are even livelier with the sea flyman fire pot show that’s super impressive, a naked-eye 3D big screen paired with the Ferris wheel light show, full cyberpunk vibes. When you’re worn out, go to Haiyue Shiguang for seafood barbecue, paired with a Qingdao beer—the summer night atmosphere is instantly elevated~ Highlighting the value! For just 199 yuan, you can stay two days and one night, choosing between a queen bed or twin beds, plus get exquisite breakfast and afternoon tea for two. The housekeeper is super thoughtful, proactively recommending local hidden food gems and niche activities. Parking is convenient too, so no travel worries at all~ If you want to enjoy sea views, convenience, and great value in Qingdao, lock this place in! Downstairs for food and fun, step out to see the sea, and party at night—this homestay covers all the joy of travel~ 📍Address: Qingdao Sea Shepherd Homestay (Carnival Hisense Plaza Branch) 💡Tips: Wear a solid color long dress for better photos at the capsule toy machine and Ferris wheel. Remember to ask the housekeeper about low tide times in advance—clam digging is super fun!
