A day out at May Fourth!

May Fourth Square, Donghaixi Road, Shinan. On a cloudy day with not much idea of what to do, we took a stroll through May Fourth Square. The May Fourth square monument is a landmark in Qingdao, so niceto go see if you are visiting. It was great to walk along the ocean and get some fresh air. There were a lot of locals around, flying kites and taking pictures. It was a lovely view of the city, even with the fog. Definitely reccomended for a day out. There are a few nice restaurants, barbecue and cafes and the end of the pier to enjoy a bite or a coffee. Unfortunately we went during the day, so we didnt get the chance to see the city light up. Rating - 3 star #tripblazers

Travelled with friends via metro and walked a few mins to the location. The monument was very clear from afar and the surrounding was beautiful and clean.

May Fourth Square Qingdao: A Vibrant Hub of Culture and History

May Fourth Square, located in the heart of Qingdao, is a bustling public space that offers a glimpse into the city's rich history and vibrant culture. This iconic landmark is a popular destination for both locals and tourists.

The May Fourth Square is packed with people during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.

Qingdao May Fourth Square light show Zhao Erxun, the governor of the three eastern provinces at the end of the Qing Dynasty, chose Qingdao as his retirement place Qingdao is still as romantic as ever a hundred years later Crowded Dreamy Like a poem and an oil painting Like a drunkard The moon rises from the sea, and the world shares this moment Wishing you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family reunion

Qingdao, a charming city with a maritime charm.

For those planning to visit Qingdao in August or September, here are some tips to avoid! 🚎Transportation: 1. Self-driving is not recommended. Qingdao Station or Qingdao North Station is the best place to arrive. 2. It is recommended to walk between attractions or combine buses and taxis. Subway: Qingdao Subway App Bus: Alipay software to obtain Qingdao bus electronic cardAccommodation recommendations Old Town: Near Qingdao Station, convenient transportation, close to various attractions May Fourth Square, Olympic Sailing Center Square: Many shopping malls nearby, and Line 2 of the subway passes through, making it convenient to get around. XX Minefield Guide If you want to get to the attractions quickly, Qingdao Station and Qingdao North Station are the best options. It only takes half an hour to get to Taidong by subway. It is recommended to book hotels in advance. Hotel prices fluctuate significantly during peak season. Choose and compare multiple options. The栈桥 (Pier), Signal Hill Park, University Road, and Qingdao German Governor's Residence Museum are not far apart, so you can arrange them on the same day. Wear flat shoes for comfort when traveling. After all, there are many slopes to climb. Transportation in Qingdao city: There are no shared bicycles or electric scooters here. The subway and buses are convenient, but taxis can be congested. Refuse the sale of sea tours by the old men on the beach. There is a risk of temporary price increases. There are usually a lot of people in the劈柴院 (Splitting Wood Courtyard). Food is not recommended, and you can skip it if you don't want to go. 📍Precautions: Qingdao Travel Minefield Guide 【Recommendation 1】Buy train tickets to "Qingdao Station" instead of Qingdao North. Qingdao Station is close to everything. It is a 10-minute walk from the栈桥 (Pier). Transportation, accommodation, and food are convenient. 【Recommendation 2】If you want to take a speedboat or yacht on the beach, agree on the price in advance, whether it includes round-trip or one-way. 【Recommendation 3】For sea entertainment projects such as diving and boat tours, be sure to choose a company with a valid business license and a qualified coach. 【Recommendation 4】When visiting Qingdao, be sure to visit the Old Town to experience the charm of Qingdao. 【Recommendation 5】Be sure to go to Signal Hill early, as you will not be able to go up the mountain after 4 pm. 【Recommendation 6】Traveling during peak season, it is highly recommended to book tickets for popular attractions in advance. It is easy to miss out on tickets if you buy them on the day of the holiday. 【Recommendation 7】If you are going to Qingdao during the summer and plan to go swimming, be sure to bring a swimsuit, swimming goggles, and earplugs. You should also bring a change of clothes, a sun umbrella, a sun hat, sunglasses, and beach slippers. 【Recommendation 8】Don't buy souvenirs at the scenic spots. You can find them much cheaper at local specialty stores or large local shopping malls.

Qingdao Must-Visit Spots ~ May Fourth Square and Olympic Sailing Center

May Fourth Square and the Olympic Sailing Center are right next to each other, so you can visit both in one go. This area is also the most bustling section of Qingdao's coastal boardwalk, which stretches for dozens of kilometers. There are various sizes of yachts and sailboats available for tourists to rent. You can buy tickets per person or charter an entire boat for a trip out to sea. Almost every few dozen meters, there is a ticket window. The most beautiful feature of May Fourth Square is the bright red torch sculpture, which is very tall and makes for stunning photos. As you walk further, you'll see the railings along the shore decorated with red-billed gulls, which are very cute.

Qingdao May Fourth Square is a beautiful seaside park with fewer people

The scenery from the Olympic Sailing Center to May Fourth Square is very beautiful, and most tourists will come here to check in. During the peak tourist season in July and August, this place is crowded with people every day. In fact, if you walk a little further, there is a beautiful music square with fewer people, lush green grass, facing the sea, and almost no tourists. There are statues of musicians such as Beethoven standing here, and under the blue sky, any casual shot is a masterpiece.

Light show in Qingdao

The light show is one of the activities you can do in Qingdao. It starts around 7:30 pm. As for me it looks great. You can make great photos for your social media. The roads are crowded , so better not use car, just simple walk is ok. Be ready that there are many people. But the atmosphere of the summer vacation worth it. #trip

If you plan to visit Qingdao 🐚 in July or August, you must take this guide!! This is part of the recommended itinerary by local Qingdao residents, ensuring you have a great time!! I will share my real experiences and also tell you which spots are pitfalls and which are worth recommending📝. 🚄Transportation: • High-speed rail: It is recommended to get off at Qingdao Station. • Airplane: Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport, turn right at the exit to find an elevator🛗 directly to the fourth floor, where you can take Metro Line 8 and transfer to Line 3. • Reference route: Jiaodong Airport → Qingdao North Station｜Transfer to Line 3｜Head towards Qingdao Station to Wusi Square (about 1.5h), it only costs 7r to reach the city center, very convenient😆😆!! 🚕Travel: Taxis or subways in Qingdao are very convenient. If you are in a group, taking a taxi is more cost-effective, and drivers respond quickly. During the day when it's sunny and you are tired from walking, you can take a taxi directly, costing about 10r per trip on average. 🚇For taking the subway, you need to download the "Qingdao Metro" APP in advance to scan the code for riding⚠️. 🏨Accommodation: It is recommended to stay in Shinan District or Shibei District. Shinan District has more concentrated attractions, while Shibei District is quieter. Be sure to book your hotel in advance, and it is recommended to choose chain hotels. Hotels in the old town may be older, so pay attention to the opening time. Facilities in hotels opened in the past two years will be cleaner. 🌤️Weather: The temperature difference between morning and evening is large. It can be hot during the day when the sun is out, with strong UV rays, so pay attention to sun protection. It tends to be cooler from afternoon to evening, so remember to bring a jacket🧥. 🚩Itinerary: Day1: City Sea View • Badaguan Scenic Area: There are many European-style buildings, and the scenery is beautiful🎈. • Second Bathing Beach: You can enjoy the sun and sand here🏖️. • Lao Qingdao Chuozirou (Maidao Store): Taste local delicacies🥩. • dotcom coffee: Have a cup of coffee and take a break☕. • Sea Love Park: Enjoy the sea view and take photos📷. • Maidao: A great place to watch the sunset🌅. • Zhanshan/Taipingjiao Qingdao Third Bathing Beach: The night light show is beautiful✨. • Taidong Night Market: Experience the local nightlife🍢.

If you have extra time, you can add a one-day trip to Huangdao District (which is relatively far). • The scenery is beautiful, but don't plan too much in one day to avoid getting too tired. Those with good stamina are exceptions😜. • For watching the sunrise, it is recommended to go to Shilaoren Bathing Beach, and for the sunset, it is better to watch it in Huangdao District, which is more beautiful🌅. • The recent sunrise time is around 4:30. Check the sunrise time, and if you are staying in Shinan or Shibei, set off an hour in advance. If you are farther away, set off 2 hours in advance. It will be very congested near the seaside, so allow enough time to avoid missing the most beautiful scenery while stuck in the car!

Impressions of Qingdao, Seaside Diary

Without visiting Qingdao, how could one know its beauty! Once you arrive in Qingdao, all the beauty is in your eyes. First is the pleasant climate. In mid-June, it's already high summer. Coming from the south of the Yangtze River, where the highest temperature has exceeded 30 degrees for several days, and I heard that in Beijing further north, the temperature has already surpassed 35 degrees, which is so hot that one would not want to go out. However, Qingdao's recent highest temperature is only around 25 degrees, and wearing short sleeves in the morning or evening feels cool. The warm temperate maritime climate makes Qingdao rarely suffer from extreme heat even in the hottest summer, thus becoming a famous summer retreat. Blue sky and sea, red tiles and green trees are the most characteristic beauty of Qingdao. Qingdao has many distinctive scenic spots, such as viewing from Little Fish Hill and Signal Hill, checking in at the Love Tree on Wheat Island, watching the sunset at the First Bathing Beach, and enjoying the night view at the May Fourth Square, etc. Here, no matter where you go, you can either see the blue sky or the sea. If you stand on a high place like Signal Hill, you can see all the beautiful scenery of blue sky, sea, red tiles, and green trees. After enjoying the view, immersed in it, there is nothing to say but a sigh of admiration. Of course, when you come to Qingdao, you can't miss the delicious food. As a coastal city, seafood is the first choice, which is tasty and affordable, and can be found everywhere, paired with a variety of Qingdao beer, which is indeed refreshing (in summer). On a midsummer night, you must go to the famous May Fourth Square. It is named 'May Fourth' because this is the birthplace of the famous May Fourth Movement. A century apart, imperial powers Germany and Japan successively occupied this place. Looking at the fiery red theme sculpture 'The Wind of May' in the center of the square, it signifies the firm belief in never bowing down, defending sovereignty, the patriotic tone of anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism, and the exuberant national strength. Now, the square is peaceful, with some people fishing by the sea, some singing and dancing on the square, some swimming and exercising by the sea... and more are tourists like me, lingering in the beautiful seaside night. I think, this beautiful sea, the happy crowd, the gleaming buildings, all of this is a wonderful scroll of life, isn't this beautiful life scene exactly what the predecessors of the May Fourth Movement hoped for? Yes, all this beauty, as they wished! Therefore, the beauty of Qingdao lies not only in its rich historical heritage but also in an inner spiritual strength. The beauty of the blue sky and sea, red tiles and green trees we see today all stem from the spirit of this city, a spirit as endless as the waves.

Qingdao Itinerary Suitable for Slow Travelers (Three Days and Two Nights)

Qingdao Itinerary Suitable for Slow Travelers (Three Days and Two Nights) Day1️⃣ 📍The first stop is the Qingdao Beer Museum, which is quite interesting. Just buy a regular ticket; there's no need for a guided tour ticket. Once inside, you'll encounter guides explaining exhibits here and there, so you can listen in if you're interested. Note that the museum stops admitting visitors at 4:30 PM. The ticket includes two beers; I found the first one bitter, but the second one was tasty, with a hint of sparkling water. Don't miss the beer-flavored ice cream—it's delicious! 📍We had planned to go to the Sea Love Park to watch the sunset, but the weather wasn't great, so we just wandered around. We had dinner at Wenjun Barbecue nearby, which was super delicious with rich meat juices. 📍Due to the bad weather, we skipped Little Wheat Island (if the weather is good, you can go there to watch the sunset, also known as Little Jeju Island) and went straight back to the area around May Fourth Square for a stroll. You can walk along the seaside to the Olympic Park to see the city's night view from afar! Day2️⃣ 📍After sleeping in, we took a taxi directly to Zhongpin Laofangzi Potstickers (Daoyao Store), which are incredibly tasty. I found out that 'sweet foam' is actually salty. 📍The Olympic Sailing Center boat tour offers a view of Qingdao's cityscape from the sea, with the first trip costing only 9.9 yuan! The boat goes from the Olympic Sailing Center to the Underwater World, and the endpoint is not far from Xilingxia Road, a super photogenic spot, also known as Little Kamakura. Walk all the way to Zhan Bridge scenic area (arriving around 10:30 AM is best), which is also great for taking photos. 📍Stroll to the Qingdao Catholic Church and experience the charm of German architecture. The church ticket is not expensive, but it doesn't seem necessary to go inside; taking photos at the entrance is sufficient. 📍After the visit, we dined at Haiyan Private Kitchen, which must be reserved a day in advance. Every dish is delicious, especially the super fresh and sweet mantis shrimp. 📍With our bellies full, we walked to Signal Hill Park. The main entrance is crowded and requires queuing, plus there's a climb. You can navigate directly to the north gate, where there's no queue or climb, and reach the viewing platform to overlook Qingdao's iconic red-roofed buildings. 📍The last stop is Qinyu Road, a great place to watch the sunset, with a beautiful S-curve and many people taking photos on the rocks. We had planned to go to the popular Wilder Coffee to stare at the sea, but both shops were too crowded. Luckily, the coffee shop at the corner of Qinyu Road also has good flavors! 📍In the evening, we went to Taidong Night Market and bought Qiusu from Shisan Bukao (strongly recommend the matcha dark chocolate and durian cheese flavors), ate seafood dumplings from Shuangheyuan, and the flavorful eggplant was super delicious—even those who don't like eggplant would find it tasty! Day3️⃣ 📍We went to Xiliuzhuang Market early in the morning to catch the big market, which is huge and full of locals. Fresh and cheap seafood and fruits abound. Live mantis shrimp cost 45 yuan per jin, mixed male and female; clams are 5 yuan per jin, and oysters as big as the palm of your hand cost 5-7 yuan each. We packed them up and took them on the plane. If you have time, you can also buy seafood and have it cooked at a local beer house to eat on the spot. Additionally, this market is a one-stop shop for Qingdao specialties, such as squid strips and fish slices, available in bulk or small packages. There's also a counter for Xiwang preserved egg and sausage, which is cheaper and of better quality than in the stores. The scales at the shops we visited were accurate, with no cheating.

Qingdao May Fourth Square

Qingdao!! May Fourth Square!! 170 four-person, my bestie chose it It's really nice to stay! The location is a first-line sea view (open the window and there's the sea view), walking to the seaside and the transportation is also very convenient, suitable for a summer vacation with parents, children, and good sisters to stay together!! The floor-to-ceiling windows offer such a beautiful sea view, much better than a hotel! Took so many photos, super photogenic! For this price, in a hotel, you would only get a room without windows and less space, and here you can see the sea Two big beds, super comfortable~ Lying on the bed, you can see the sea sunrise and sunset just by opening and closing your eyes, so beautiful, so beautiful

Nice place in Qingdao. Come in the morning to enjoy beautiful view and nice weather 🔆 #qingdao #shandong #china

Not going to the beach on such a nice day in Qingdao is really a waste!

All original live photos🌊 The seagulls ate a whole bag of my fries. They are so smart, slowing down and hovering in place to catch! Walking from May Fourth Square to No.3 Bathing Beach, it's a leisurely stroll by the sea, passing by Haitian and even stopping by Tsutaya Bookstore (a unique seaside Tsutaya, the No.3 Bathing Beach is so comfortable on weekdays! Watching the world is a vast Qingdao
