[2025 Qingdao Attraction] Travel Guide for Lingshanwan Seaside Park (Updated Apr)

Evergrande Himalayas Thumb Plaza Hotel, I stay here for a few days almost every year. The reason I choose this place is, first, the convenient transportation. It's right next to Haier Road, which connects directly to the Cross-Sea Bridge. About two kilometers south is Shilaoren Seaside Park, and it's not as humid as being right by the sea. The area is very lively, with the Thumb Plaza commercial circle nearby. There's also a food street just to the right when you exit, offering a wide variety of local snacks. Secondly, the hotel gives a really comfortable feeling. From the front desk to the guest rooms, everyone is professional, friendly, and responsive. Even random management staff will enthusiastically help carry your luggage to your room. This time I stayed in room 1225, which is very spacious with 120° floor-to-ceiling windows that instantly improve your mood. When checking out, the floor attendant even escorted me to the elevator with a particularly sweet smile. I also really like the breakfast buffet. The environment is elegant, the dishes are exquisite, and the Western pastries are especially well-made, which explains why there are many foreign guests here. There's also a dedicated children's play area next to the restaurant, a coffee bar and bakery in the lobby, and a large tea and book bar across the way. This time I stayed for three consecutive nights again.

What's fun in Kobe? Isn't it just Qingdao… “What's fun in Kobe? Isn't it just Qingdao?” It's Qingdao, it's Dalian, it's Hong Kong, but it just can't be Kobe… For adults, not being a killjoy is basic courtesy. The meaning of travel has increasingly become a matter of personal taste and niche hobbies. 🇯🇵If you've done even simple research, you'll know that Kobe is a coastal city with Suma Beach🏝️, the million-dollar night view of Mount Rokko and Mount Maya🌃, Kobe beef, and Arima Onsen. But if you dig a little deeper, you'll discover that Kobe is an old industrial city where most shopkeepers don't speak English, and drugstores have "Help Wanted" signs seeking bilingual staff. You have to go up Mount Maya and Mount Rokko early and come down early, or you'll miss the last train and have to walk down a dark mountain path. At the port, you can even see remnants of 1990s corporations— like the city itself, old but respectable, allowing you to imagine the prosperity and boom here during the economic heyday. Just ticking off tourist spots will only leave you thinking, "Oh, that's it?" But if you stay overnight, you might just unveil Kobe's hidden curtain. It's the glowing sea at Maiko Marine Promenade🌊, the tourist boats waiting at the port🚢, the Suma sunset reflecting on your face🌇, the aroma of fried croquettes wafting from the station kiosk🍘, the slow arrival of the train🚈, crows scattering and shaking the overhead wires, and elderly Japanese men and women nodding to you on the downhill path👵. ♨️At night, slide open the wooden door, and the hot spring well cover in the courtyard steams, the medicinal waters washing away the day's fatigue. As you gaze out the window at the darkening streets, you've truly arrived in Kobe. There's no set itinerary for Kobe. If you only have one day, go to the beach if you like the sea, or stroll up the mountain if you like night views. 🌌"Speed is the form of ecstasy, and slowness is linked to memory" - Milan Kundera Tips:🌟From Osaka Station, take the JR Tokaido-Sanyo Main Line (Special Rapid Service, Okayama/Himeji direction) for about 35-40 minutes directly to Suma Station.

Compared to the gentleness of Sanyahai, the sea of Qingdao is a bit more passionate. The sea is one of the best business cards in Qingdao. It has many beaches and long coastlines. It is a veritable ocean city with more than 710 kilometers of coastline and 49 bays. The city balcony is one of them. This long sandy beach is called Lingshan Bay City Balcony. It is located in the core area of Lingshan Bay Tourist Resort. It is the largest social welfare project on the west coast of Qingdao and the first large free public welfare city leisure park in Qingdao. The locals said that it was originally a desolate beach, and some places were covered with weeds. Usually there would be no one coming. I did not expect that after the transformation, I was so beautiful. There is no silt here and the water is clean. The locals like to go swimming here and are praised as "the cleanest beach around." Whether you want to play on the coastal trails here, or if you want to take a quick look at the sea, or look at the Qingdao culture that condenses here, you can.
