If I were to rate my Qingdao experience out of 10, I'd give it a 9. My biggest takeaway is that you really can't skimp on certain things! I want to share my travel experiences with you all~ (Super detailed! This one article is enough, so save it quickly!) ❗️ 🚇Transportation: 🚌Bus: Qingdao's bus routes are well-connected. Taking the bus to tour Qingdao costs only CNY 1–2 and takes you to see the mountains and the sea, hitting all the popular attractions along the way. For example, Route 468 circles the Qingdao coastal scenery and runs through Badaguan Scenic Area; Route 317 is a super-long coastal sightseeing line that connects the main attractions along the city's coastline. 🚇Subway: Qingdao has several subway lines open, providing convenient access to various attractions. To get to Laoshan Scenic Area, take Subway Line 4 to Dahedong Station. After exiting the station, you'll find the Laoshan Tourist Service Center, where you can transfer to the scenic sightseeing bus to the Jufeng and Taiqing scenic areas. 🚕Taxi: Taxis are convenient, but you may encounter traffic jams during peak tourist season, and the cost is relatively high. 🚎Dangdang Tram: Known as Qingdao's "living map," it covers more than a dozen popular attractions in Qingdao with just a wristband. It starts from Lanshan Road Bus Station next to Qingdao Railway Station and passes through seven stops, including Zhanqiao Pier and Qinyu Road. With the wristband, you can get on and off the tram as many times as you like on the same day. 🎫Special ticket offers: 🏞️Laoshan Scenic Area: Special offers are available during Women's Day. On March 8, female tourists can climb Laoshan for free (excluding scenic sightseeing buses, cable cars, and other paid items). 🐬Qingdao Underwater World: Adult tickets are discounted during Goddess Festival. For details, please follow the official announcements. Sometimes, you can also bring a child under 1.2m free of charge. 🎢Qingdao Fantawild Dreamland: From March 8–10, all women can enjoy a 50% discount of CNY 140 per person (original price CNY 280 per person). Reservations must be made at least one day in advance. 🏠Accommodation recommendations: 👍Shinan District: I recommend Qingdao Haitian Hotel, which is close to May Fourth Square and No. 3 Bathing Beach, where you can enjoy an unobstructed sea view from 369m above the ground; and Qingdao Litian Hotel, which is close to May Fourth Square and Mixc Qingdao, where you can enjoy mountain and sea views and admire the dazzling lights outside the window. 👍Laoshan District: Switinn Apartment Hotel (Qingdao Convention Center, Shilaoren Bathing Beach) is close to Shilaoren Bathing Beach and WFC Xie Xin Center, where you can drink tea and watch the sea from the bay window and enjoy the tranquility; Qingdao MGM Hotel is close to Shilaoren Bathing Beach and Miaoling Road subway station, with an aerial infinity pool where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the beach. 👍Old Town: You can choose a century-old German-style villa hotel, which is an 8-minute walk from Qingdao Railway Station and 200m from the Catholic Church. It only takes about 5 minutes to walk to Zhanqiao Pier to feed the seagulls. There are many attractions nearby, so you don't need transportation. It is cost-effective for couples or families. ✨Tour sequence: It is recommended to visit the attractions in the old town on the first day to experience the historical charm of Qingdao; on the second day, go to the coastal attractions to enjoy the beautiful sea view; and on the third day, you can go to Laoshan to appreciate the natural scenery. This arrangement avoids backtracking and allows you to fully experience the charm of Qingdao. Based on my experience, it is suitable to visit attractions during the day and watch the night view and shop in the evening. 🗓️Schedule: 1️⃣Day 1: Old Town 🎈9:00: Arrive at Xinhao Hill Park and overlook the Qingdao city scenery of red tiles, green trees, blue sea, and sky. 🎈11:00: Visit the Qingdao German Governor's Residence Site Museum to experience the charm of history. 🎈12:30: Taste Qingdao's special delicacies in nearby restaurants, such as braised mackerel dumplings and sea sausage with rice. 🎈14:00: Go to the University Road Red Wall to take photos, and then stroll around the surrounding artistic shops. 🎈17:00: Come to Zhanqiao Pier to enjoy the seaside sunset and feed the seagulls. 🎈19:00: Go to Zhongshan Road Commercial Street to experience the lively atmosphere and taste various snacks. 2️⃣Day 2: Coastal Line 🎈9:00: Go to Badaguan Scenic Area, stroll on the tree-lined road, and admire the buildings of various countries. 🎈11:00: Come to No. 2 Bathing Beach and play in the waves. 🎈12:30: Enjoy lunch at a restaurant near Badaguan and taste Qingdao's seafood. 🎈14:00: Go to May Fourth Square and take photos of the iconic "May Wind" sculpture. 🎈17:00: Go to the Olympic Sailing Marine Culture Tourism Area to enjoy the beautiful sea view and experience sailing. 🎈19:00: After dinner at a nearby restaurant, enjoy the night view light show at the Olympic Sailing Center. 3️⃣Day 3: Laoshan 🎈9:30: Take the subway to Laoshan Tourist Service Center and transfer to the sightseeing bus to enter Laoshan Scenic Area.

A comprehensive review of The St. Regis Qingdao and Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel Qingdao 💰️Average cost per person: Hotel prices fluctuate significantly depending on the season, room type, and other factors. Winter is the off-season for hotels in Qingdao, and prices are relatively affordable. For example, the Caroline Suite is only CNY 300 in winter, offering excellent value for money. During peak season, prices may increase significantly. Please check various platforms for specific prices when booking. 🏘️Room types/layout: - The St. Regis Qingdao: The ocean view from the sea-view rooms is superb. In winter, there are fewer people on the beach, making it great for taking photos. City-view rooms also have their unique charm. Room 6119, for example, has a large bathroom with a round bathtub near the large windows, offering a view of half the city and half the sea. Room 7220 is a corner room with even larger windows, perfect for enjoying the bustling city view at night, although it doesn't offer a sea view. Standard Skyline Ocean View King rooms are over 50 sq m, while rooms 6119 and 7220 are approximately 68 sq m, providing more spacious accommodation. - Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel Qingdao: The city-view room I chose was on a higher floor. Although the urban landscape view is not as good as the ocean view at The St. Regis, it has its own unique charm. The overall layout is reasonable, providing a comfortable living experience. 🛌Amenities/facilities: - The St. Regis Qingdao: The rooms are equipped with Geneva sound systems, enhancing the wonderful living experience. The round bathtub is a unique feature, rarely seen in the province. The swimming pool is perfect for taking photos. However, the economic downturn has had some impact on the hotel's hardware, and amenities have been reduced. When the hotel first opened, the toiletries were exquisite and complete, and the minibar was well-stocked with drinks, beverages, and snacks. Now, it's not as good as before. However, the hotel is also making efforts to improve, such as offering small desserts for takeaway, a pancake and fruit stand at the entrance, and an ice cream counter. - Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel Qingdao: The hotel offers activities such as manicures, New Year's frame making, and Hanfu experiences (including hair accessories), demonstrating great attention to detail and allowing guests to enjoy a full day at the hotel. The service is attentive, with late check-out offered for families with young children, and staff proactively inquiring about the baby's needs during meals. 🧹Soundproofing/hygiene: Both hotels have excellent soundproofing, effectively blocking out external noise and providing a quiet resting environment. Hygiene standards are also met in both hotels, with high-quality bedding that is comfortable to sleep on. The St. Regis Qingdao, in particular, has consistently maintained high standards of hygiene and bedding. 💗Other tips: 1. Dining experience: - The St. Regis Qingdao: The breakfast offers a wide variety, but the noodles lack chewiness, and the overall taste could be improved. However, the takeaway desserts and food stalls at the entrance add convenience and enjoyment. - Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel Qingdao: Breakfast is semi-buffet style. Although the variety is not extensive, the quality is high, and the taste is excellent. The oatmeal bowl is worth trying. The Chinese cuisine is exceptional, with a beautiful Chinese aesthetic and exquisite presentation. I highly recommend trying it. 2. Service experience: Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel excels in service, especially its thoughtful care for families with children. The butler service at The St. Regis Qingdao is also excellent. Guests can request water, slippers, and toiletries by phone, as well as milk, freshly ground coffee, and ironing services. Special requests, such as borrowing an air pump for birthday balloons, can also be made, and the hotel will do its best to accommodate guests' special requirements, such as providing a small birthday cake. 3. View experience: The sea-view rooms at The St. Regis are perfect for enjoying the ocean view, while the city-view rooms at Diaoyutai offer a broad perspective. Choose according to your preference. If you want to enjoy a beautiful ocean view, The St. Regis is a good choice. If you prioritize service and special activities, Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel would be a better option. 4. Check-in suggestions: For a better experience, it is recommended to check in during the off-season, as not only are the prices more affordable, but the service and experience may also be better. Communicate your needs with the hotel upon check-in for more attentive service. Overall, The St. Regis Qingdao and Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel Qingdao each have their own unique characteristics. You can choose based on your needs and budget.

Red tiles, white walls, blue sky and clear water, Qingdao in autumn is really comfortable! This time, I chose to stay at Shilaoren Beach🌊 Nearby 📍Qingdao MGM Hotel🏨 Rooms facing the sea can also see the beautiful sunrise in the morning🌅 Choosing the right hotel is half the battle for your travel experience! - About the service🏨: The MGM little lion🦁️ given by the staff when I checked in made me feel at home instantly.

Shi Laoren has a panoramic view of the sea, so turn on the relax button in advance for your vacation ⛱️! - Regarding food 🥘: You can see the famous pearl milk tea 🧋 in the pastry shop in the hotel lobby. On the night of check-in, we chose the all-day dining restaurant 🍴 located on the third floor of the hotel to have dinner. It coincides with the opening season, and the buffet ingredients can be said to be It’s a seafood feast 🦞, I especially recommend the restaurant’s barbecue, it’s very delicious! You can also eat Haagen-Dazs ice cream🍦 🌞Breakfast the next morning is also enjoyed here. All Qingdao specialties you can think of are available here~ - After dinner, you can go for a walk on the beach. At this time, the hotel's light show also starts. It's really dreamy and beautiful. You can see the modern lighting effects between the buildings while standing on the beach~ After returning to the hotel, you can also go to 🥂Hong·Bar for a drink. The bartender will recommend a drink that suits you 🍷 according to your preferences. It is quite comfortable to enjoy the band 🪗 performance while tasting it, and it is also the setting for the movie "Catch a Baby" Filming location! - I solemnly recommend a good place for lunch the next day, 🏨Yishuo Specialty Restaurant on the first floor🍴.

#October Good Places 2024 To Qingdao specially chose Qingdao MGM Hotel, the hotel is located in the center of the Laoshan CBD, more close to the 5A Laoshan Scenic Area. The hotel design is also master-class, with details in every aspect from the exterior, lobby, restaurant, guest rooms... The hotel rooms very cleverly blend modern design with Qingdao local elements, spacious space, reasonable layout, panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, oversized bathtub, gave us a very pleasant experience this trip. Left food, lobby bar, dessert house, all-day restaurant revelry, restaurant, and bar a total of 5 restaurants. Each restaurant has its own style and is full of art, allowing guests to enjoy the food while also feeling the unique charm of a star hotel! With a fitness center, spa, indoor pool that provides great service and emotional value on the basis of meeting everyday use, watching the sunrise and sunset from the infinity pool is so cool! MGM gave me a reason to come to Qingdao on one occasion! !

Address: On Hong Kong East Road, Laoshan District, next to Shilaoren Beach. I arrived on Friday night. The 🦁 at the door was very nice at night. Rooms: We went with our family and booked two rooms, one with a king-size bed and one with twin beds. We were upgraded to a side view room when we arrived. On Sunday night, there were fewer guests, so an executive sea view room was available, so we could upgrade. The front desk lady said that if it was not fully booked from Monday to Thursday, we could upgrade directly from MGM to Diaoyutai. We missed it this time, but we will come again next time. Restaurant: There are some simple afternoon tea and Italian restaurants on the first floor in the afternoon. The third floor is the Huanyan all-day restaurant, which offers breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets. From the 31st floor to the 51st floor is the Diaoyutai Chinese restaurant. This time I booked breakfast and dinner on the third floor. There are more types of breakfast, and the dinner is rich in seafood with unlimited quantity. I think it tastes better. Gym and swimming pool: On the 31st floor of the hotel, the facilities are quite complete. There are many colorful kettlebells which are very cute. You can see the sea directly when running on the treadmill. The infinity pool is very nice for taking pictures. It was cloudy when I went there two days ago, and the water temperature was a bit cold, so I didn't go in the water. On the third day, it was sunny and warm. The water was clean. There was music underwater but the sound was very low and negligible. There was no strong smell of disinfectant. It was a pool that swimming kids liked.

|MGM Hotel| Laoshan District I chose the MGM for my trip to Qingdao The hardware facilities are new as it opened in 2023. I booked two room types with a friend The superior room is 45-50 sqm. You can ask the front desk to arrange a corner room Floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides offer a better view (usually arranged if available) • The MGM Ocean View Suite with a living room is 90 sqm The living room is large and you can have a drink. There is a separate cloakroom Watching the sunset at the hotel in the evening is nice The lobby on the first floor has MGM limited milk tea Breakfast is okay, service is average. It ends at 10:00, which is a bit early The hotel is not far from Xiaomai Island/Shilaoren There are also two business districts about 1km away The indoor heated swimming pool on the 30th floor overlooks the sea. Overall, it's pretty good Travel is also relatively

Hanbi Tower Located in Huangdao District, the location is relatively remote. This hotel has top-notch views, decoration, and design. 🌟 The operation, service, and dining are disappointing. The current situation is regrettable, but it can be visited during the off-season. . Shangri-La/Westin Two hotels separated by a street next to May Fourth Square, the new building of Shangri-La is well decorated, and the lounge✨ is very beautiful. The public area of the Westin is large enough, and the lounge overlooks May Fourth Square. However, the views👀 of these two hotels are severely obstructed, and the sea🌊 view is not very good. Personally, I think it is more suitable to stay in a basic room to enjoy the location/public area, and the lounge can be optional. . Sailing/Sea Sky/St. Regis The three high-rise hotels in Badaguan, one street away from the sea, 🌊 have unbeatable sea views. Sailing has the lowest price, the public area is relatively messy, and the rooms are similar to apartments, but the city and sea views are good. St. Regis is very luxurious, focusing on sea views, and has no lounge. Sea Sky Hotel is very comprehensive, with many restaurants🍴 and a reasonable layout of public areas. Personally, I think it is at the level of JW Marriott. These three are suitable for guests who like to lie in the hotel👀 and enjoy the scenery, and the higher the room type, the more comfortable it is. . MGM/Diaoyutai Two sides of the same high-rise hotel, two blocks away from Shilaoren Bathing Beach, with distant sea views🌊. MGM has a Western style, 🎣 Diaoyutai has a Chinese style, the former is suitable for families/relaxation, and the latter is more business-oriented. The public areas of the two hotels are shared. In terms of design, Diaoyutai is better, and in terms of price, MGM is lower. . Hyatt The best value for money hotel in Qingdao, downstairs is Shilaoren Bathing Beach, the public area decoration exceeds the standard, and the lounge is very sincere. You can enjoy the public area and direct access to the beach with a low room type, or enjoy the lounge's skyline view and lie down to see the sea view👀 with a high room type. . Autograph Collection Newly opened hotel, the public area is not fully decorated, the design is American industrial style and very eye-catching, and it is relatively far from the sea🌊. It is recommended to visit during the off-season + after the decoration is completed. . InterContinental It has the best view of the Olympic Sailing Center and light show💡 in Qingdao, but the hotel is old, the rooms are average, and the lounge is also mediocre. If you don't stay at this hotel, it is recommended to go to the rooftop bar for a drink🍺 before sunset, the view is the same. . Hilton The hotel closest to the beer🍺 festival venue, the castle exterior decoration is online, the rooms are not old, and it is often fully booked during the peak season. The outdoor swimming pool🏊🏻 is good, and the buffet🍲 is also great. .

The entire beach in Qingdao is ours, and the scenery is great. MGM opened in 2023, and the hotel facilities are all relatively new. It is highly recommended to stay here. The customer service lady also upgraded our room to a sea view room. It was our first time staying at MGM and the experience was really good. The price is also very affordable, with an average of 350+ per person for check-in, and a mini water bar to enjoy. There is a shopping mall opposite for shopping. It is very easy to walk there during the day. However, children over 1.4 meters tall at MGM will get adult price for dinner and half price for breakfast. In summary, it is better to take a taxi and go out to eat The MGM swimming pool is not big in every room. Some are big and some are small, so you can play with the kids next door. But if you are not sure, don't book it. Choose another hotel with a formal swimming pool. The room is spacious but old. Old hotels are depressing. The little lion is very cute. Thank you to the beautiful lady in pink clothes in the lobby for helping to change rooms and giving gifts. There are advantages, but not many. I am too lazy to talk about them. The weather is good this week and the scenery is beautiful Now that my children are older, I can give up on the parent-child type of activities. The activities they can participate in are basically childish. Next time I should stay at Art. Finally I don’t have to wash my swimsuit every day when I get home!

You really have to come to Qingdao after the National Day to experience MGM Hotel, one of Qingdao’s new landmark twin towers. It has an unbeatable sea view of the Shilaoren Beach and a great location and view! 🎏Lie down and look at Laoshan Mountain 🌊 and enjoy the sea view! What are you waiting for! ! - The hotel's exterior is in the shape of a tower and a Chinese pagoda, and from a distance it looks like a seaside lighthouse; there is also a 🐆 golden lion statue in the entrance square, and the building also retains 🦀 the combination of Qingdao's historic red brick roof and modern development - 💧The third MGM hotel in China The hotel's location is one in a thousand. It is not only in the center of the 🎋 Laoshan District CBD, but also close to the 5A-level Laoshan Scenic Area, facing the Stone Man Sea Bathing Beach. 🦄The exterior of the hotel building was designed by KPF's New York office; the exterior adopts the design concept of the portal (tower) and the Chinese treasure box tower, and it has a rising trend! - 🐚Hotel Rooms: ▪️The hotel has a total of 334 rooms, starting from 45 square meters~.

A bar where you can enjoy music, movies and the art of mixology. - ✨I really recommend you to try it 🈶Daily breakfast for two 🈶One gym vitality experience class for two 🈶50% off on cocktails at the wine bar

I saw many videos of children crying due to the heat when they went out to play during the summer vacation. You know, the temperature in Qingdao is only around 20 degrees! Here’s a little advice for friends visiting Qingdao: avoid the crowded urban scenic spots and stay in Laoshan District. I took the seal to live in MGM Hotel again. The subway station is directly connected here. The room is flat and you can see the sea. It is family-friendly~ 🌊Infinity pool is the love of children Stay 3 days and go 4 times. There is a sauna next to the swimming pool. If you feel cold, go and steam. Remember to wear a swimming cap. 👦🏻During the summer, all major restaurants in the hotel have launched children's meals The kids ate the whole Wagyu burger and loved it. The Chinese restaurant is suitable for the elderly and children, and the dishes are exquisite and healthy Afternoon tea offers children's desserts, super cute, only 88 🛍️Surrounded by bustling business district Just downstairs you can walk to Golden Lion Plaza and Lida Plaza Subway goes directly to May Fourth Square, Licun, and Taidong Pedestrian Street 🏖️The nearest beach is Shilaoren Beach The sand here is fine and the waves are big. It is the only surfing spot in the north. There are a lot of sea games and stalls selling toys and snacks. It is recommended to bring coats for children as it will be cold at night. ⛰️Laoshan Scenic Area, the Fairy Mountain on the Sea The national 5A-level tourist attraction is a natural oxygen bar in the hot summer. Climbing the mountain will make you feel the vastness of the blue sea. It's really nice to lie down and walk the kids during the tourist season It is recommended to choose a good hotel and have fun in Qingdao!

On the second day, because it gets dark at six o'clock in Qingdao, I didn't go either. The third day's city walk route was originally planned: Xiling Gorge➡️Zhanqiao Pier➡️Yinfish Alley➡️St. Michael's Cathedral➡️Signal Hill Park➡️Little Fish Hill➡️Qinyu Road➡️Little Qingdao Park. Although it was on the way, it was simply too much to walk, too tiring! Suggestions are as follows: 1️⃣Get up early for the trip, as the sunrise and sunset are early, and there's not much to do after six o'clock when it gets dark, and the sea breeze is also cold🥶except in summer 2️⃣For those who love 5A scenic spots, don't miss Laoshan Scenic Area. It is recommended to start from Yangkou Tourist Area, take the cable car🚡to the mountain top to see the sea (Picture 4)➡️Sightseeing bus/public bus to Xiaoyu Village➡️Visit Taiqing Palace in Taiqing Tourist Area➡️Take the subway to Shazikou for photos (Pictures 5-6) which saves travel time along the way; my route that day was the opposite, because there was no guide, I took a taxi directly to Taiqing Tourist Area, so I went to Taiqing Palace first➡️After reaching the top from Yangkou, I took the sightseeing bus back to Taiqing, and to take the subway to Shazikou on the way, so I didn't make it to Xiaoyu Village; pay attention to the last sightseeing bus time, sit on the left to see the sea on the way there, and on the right to see the sea on the way back 3️⃣Shazikou is recommended for photo shoots when the weather is good; walk straight from subway exit C, go down the underpass on the left side of the road to cross the street, walk towards the large buildings in the square, and your phone can take good photos (Pictures 5-6). The opposite direction is the beach, and you need a telephoto lens for beach photos, otherwise it will be disappointing 4️⃣There are no specific recommendations for meals, because you can't eat seafood indiscriminately, so after checking in Qingdao cuisine on the first day, my mother and I didn't want to eat seafood anymore. We found another Qingdao specialty: Chuozirou, which is various meats and seafood baked in an iron box, suitable for drinking beer at night. We ate it at noon, and it would have been better to go directly to Yinfish Alley for Western food haha... The last dinner was Cantonese food near the hotel, which was quite good 4️⃣The scenic spots in Qingdao city are quite crowded. I went there after the Qingming Festival when I was making up for work, and there were many people and traffic jams. It is recommended to avoid peak times or choose some less popular spots for a more comfortable experience, such as the area around Laoshan I didn't finish exploring Qingdao in three days, so I'll come back next time. Cities with the sea are really great~

Qingdao MGM Staying at a hotel in Qingdao during the off-peak tourism season is such a great deal. I was hesitating between Diaoyutai and MGM at first, thinking that staying at one hotel for a day would be fine. After arriving, I found out that they are right next to each other, so I took a stroll around Diaoyutai. MGM has a young and avant-garde design style, while Diaoyutai has a more luxurious Chinese style, so I chose MGM! The hotel's 31st floor has an infinity pool and a gym. I didn't bring a swimsuit, so I didn't experience it, but the view from the glass side is nice, and the gym equipment is very complete! There is also a special dance room. The only issue with the hotel is that the check-in time took too long... I don't know if it's because there are too few cleaning staff or some other problem, but I arrived at two and didn't get checked in until after five, and I was constantly told that there were no rooms cleaned yet... Aside from that, the overall stay experience was good.

The entrance is its classic logo: Leo the Lion. MGM has also put a lot of effort into the aesthetics, space, and color design of the hotel. The rooms are adorned with elements such as sparkling rainbow glass and color gradient details, interpreted in passionate red and jade green tones, embodying the city's signature 'red tiles and green trees' of Qingdao. Luxury hotels should not only meet the basic need for accommodation, so those who prefer to experience leisure and entertainment activities, parent-child interaction, and social scenes are recommended to choose MGM. With a pastry shop, magic performances, a gym with unbeatable sea views, an infinity pool, spa, light meals, and bar parties, MGM's main keyword is: vibrant and exciting. If you are traveling to Qingdao during the Golden Week of October, it is recommended to book MGM.

Last weekend, my family and I stayed at the . Hearing this name, you must immediately think of the famous MGM Studios and the golden lion roaring proudly. Yes, in the 1970s, MGM Studios built the first MGM Hotel in Las Vegas, becoming the largest integrated hotel in the world at the time. In June 2023, the opened in the island city, igniting Qingdao, a unique coastal city, with fashion and vitality. The lion is called 'Leo', he is like a messenger of Western civilization, crossing half of the earth, bringing entertainment culture and spirit to China, to Qingdao. At MGM, you can see him everywhere, he incarnates in different forms and always accompanies us. As night falls, the hotel starts the 'Night Show', and the lion Leo has been waiting here for a long time. He is like a brave and victorious king, giving us strength and courage. The music fountain around the golden lion dances with the melody, and the modern light and shadow water curtain happily jumps with the MGM characters. Entering the hotel lobby, the lion Leo appears on the big screen, like a warm and hospitable host welcoming our arrival. The MGM pastry house on the right side of the front desk, its design is like a giant French 'Napoleon' cake, the lion Leo turns into a toy that children like, and can't help but want to take him home. The hearty all-day restaurant, the flame-themed steak barbecue restaurant, the passionate bar, and the gym with unbeatable sea views, the infinity pool where you can see the sunset, this unparalleled experience, I will share with everyone one by one.
