[2025 Qingdao Attraction] Travel Guide for Mountain Dazhu Scenic Spot (Updated May)

I recently traveled to Qingdao and chose the Norder Hotel of China Railway World Expo City. After experiencing it myself, I'm here to share my honest feelings with you. 🏞 [Geographical location] 📍The hotel is located at Building 43, No. 7777 Binhai Avenue, Huangdao District, Qingdao. The location is excellent. Backed by mountains and facing the sea, the surrounding scenery is beautiful. It faces Lingshan Island, a marine painting screen in the east, and sits on the central forest ecological park. It is only 1 km away from the Navy Theme Park and the Gold Coast, and is close to the 4A-level scenic spot Dazhushan Scenic Area. It is very convenient whether you want to stroll along the beach or climb a mountain to enjoy the scenery. Moreover, it is very close to Qingdao World Expo City, which is too friendly for people coming to participate in exhibitions and conferences. 🏨 [Hotel appearance and lobby] The hotel has a simple and modern appearance. Walking into the lobby, it is spacious and bright, with exquisite decoration and well-designed lighting, giving people a warm and high-end feeling. The lobby has shared umbrellas, shoe shining machines, and a casual sofa area, showing thoughtfulness in the details. The front desk staff are enthusiastic and professional, and the check-in procedures are fast. They will also patiently answer various questions. 🛏 [Room experience] I stayed in a deluxe queen room. The room was spacious and well-laid out. The 1.8x2m bed was very comfortable to sleep on. The bedding was soft and skin-friendly, and there were four pillows to meet different sleep needs. The room is fully equipped with a fresh air system, air conditioning, hot and cold drink equipment, etc. There is a separate cloakroom and full-length mirror for easy organizing of clothes. The bathroom has a wet and dry separation design, and the toiletries are of good quality. The room also has a bay window where you can sit and see beautiful mountain or sea views, which is very pleasant. The only drawback is that the sound insulation of the room has room for improvement, and you can occasionally hear footsteps in the corridor. 🍱 [Dining service] The hotel's buffet breakfast is varied, with Chinese, Western, and Japanese cuisine. Bread, eggs, porridge, stir-fries, sushi, etc., taste pretty good. The restaurant is clean and tidy, and the waiters will clean up the tables in a timely manner. However, there are more people during peak dining hours, so you may need to wait for a seat. There are also many snack streets and restaurants around the hotel, with a variety of choices, so you don't have to worry about not having a place to eat. 🛋 [Supporting facilities] The hotel has complete supporting facilities, including a gym, laundry room, conference room, sky garden, etc. The gym has many types of equipment, which can meet basic exercise needs; the laundry room is free to use, which is very practical for people who travel for many days. In addition, there is a bus ticketing system in the hotel lobby that goes directly to Jiaodong Airport, making travel very convenient. In general, the Qingdao China Railway World Expo City Norder Hotel has a very good experience, and it is suitable for both tourism and business travel. Although there are some minor shortcomings, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and I recommend it to everyone!

🌟🌟 As soon as I entered the scenic area, I was captivated by the jelly-like reservoir. The color is just too beautiful. Qingdao is truly a summer retreat at this time of year. Even hiking isn't too hot. Although the sunlight is strong, the cool breeze makes it bearable. The lush, dense forest contrasts with the massive stone walls. You can't truly appreciate their grandeur unless you stand beneath them. The mountains around Qingdao are truly beautiful. The various stunning trees, the live fish in the reservoir, and the pleasant scent of the forest all make climbing Dazhushan worthwhile in the summer.🔥 👉 Be sure to bring plenty of water and food when hiking here. Water is only sold at the flat area at the foot of the mountain. Many people come here for hiking. I overheard an elderly gentleman saying that it takes 4 hours to hike from one entrance to the other exit. So, you can just climb part of the way and turn back. It's best to climb to a certain height where you can see the sea. This is a city with both mountains and sea. The residents here are so lucky!👏👏

Spring, Qingdao's unique romance "Spring in Qingdao seems particularly long." The spring in Qingdao, as described by Mr. Lao She, is like a grand and gentle dream. Strolling along the Zhan Bridge, the gentle sea breeze carries a faint salty scent, creating a soothing and pleasant atmosphere. Waves gently lap against the embankment, splashing up layers of white foam. Seagulls soar in flocks, sometimes skimming the water's surface, sometimes circling overhead, emitting crisp calls. Spring in Badaguan is a feast of flowers. Pink crabapple blossoms, snow-white cherry blossoms, and golden forsythia adorn the old buildings, transforming them into a fairytale world. Strolling through the area, European-style buildings stand in elegant disorder, with red tiles, green trees, and a blue sea against a clear sky. Every frame is a postcard. At the corner of Daxue Road, an artistic atmosphere spreads with the spring breeze. The cafes and bookstores along the street exude a unique charm. Find a small shop, sit down, order a cup of coffee, watch the passersby outside the window, and experience the slow pace of this city. Spring in Qingdao is a blend of romance and vitality. While the spring scenery is just right, come here and embrace your own spring adventure!
