[2025 Qingdao Attraction] Travel Guide for Qingdao Baihuayuan Garden (Updated Apr)

Friends! I just got back from Qingdao and can't wait to share with you! Although I was worried after being misled by my friends' posts, this family trip was truly amazing! 👶🏻💖 ⚠ First, the "downsides": The cherry blossom season was so crowded that the subway had to limit passenger flow (but the special cherry blossom train was breathtakingly beautiful!). Climbing Laoshan Mountain was tiring (but seeing the azaleas all over the mountain on the way down was instantly healing!). The snacks at the scenic spots were pricey (bringing your own snacks is the wise choice!). But compared to the beautiful scenery, these are nothing! 🔥 ✨【Must-visit itinerary with kids】✨ Day 1⃣ Travel through a fairy tale on the subway's cherry blossom train Take Line 11 from DaLao Station to Bei Jiu Shui, the train windows are like moving picture frames! The kids were glued to the window counting cherry blossom trees 🌳, and when we arrived, we went straight to Cherry Valley to pick cherries and experience "cherry blossom freedom"! (Secret tip: Enjoying the cherry blossoms for free from the subway is much better than buying tickets!) Day 2⃣ A day trip through ancient times In the morning, we took Hanfu photos at Baihua Park, and the kids, dressed in rented Hanfu, chased butterflies 🦋. In the afternoon, we found handmade hairpins at the Shi Mei An Plum Blossom Market, and in the evening, we watched the jade orchid night lights at Taiqing Palace. A Taoist priest even gave us a safety amulet! 🎎 Day 3⃣ Mountain and sea adventure mode Wear non-slip shoes for the Ju Feng Azalea Slope! The kids walked the whole way themselves and were so excited to see the azaleas covering the mountain that they shouted, "It's like a rainbow has fallen down"! 🌈 We went straight down to Yangkou Beach and collected shells until sunset 🌅. 🌟【Mom's secret tips】🌟 ✅ Wear light-colored matching outfits + straw bags, and you'll be the center of attention wherever you go. ✅ Rush to Zhongshan Park's Cherry Blossom Avenue at 8 am to capture the perfect shot. ✅ The Laoshan scenic bus is super convenient, and the drivers tell jokes. ✅ Must-try: Piduziyuan tofu pudding, Yingkou Road Seafood Market (transparent processing fees). ⚠ Avoid these pitfalls: ❌ Don't buy overpriced flower garlands at the scenic spot entrance; you can get 3 for 10 yuan at the night market. ❌ The jade orchid blooming period at Taiqing Palace is long, so no need to rush. ❌ You can bargain at the Cherry Valley farmhouse restaurants in Laoshan, don't be ripped off. Looking at the 3000+ photos on my phone now, I can't help but smile! Qingdao is truly an underrated treasure for families. The romance of the mountains, sea, and city is so captivating that even the kids learned to say, "Facing the sea, with spring blossoms warm" ～🌊🌸

No need to go far, there's a superb place in Qingdao, a Monet garden for Qingdao locals! As soon as I walked into this park, I was completely stunned by its beauty. It was like stepping into a painting, surrounded by colorful flowers and plants 🌷🌼, just like in a painting. My heart bloomed with joy! And, and, and! This park is free, free, free 👏! Who needs a bicycle with a place like this? I went on a weekday morning, and there weren't many people in the park. I could take photos however I wanted 📸, without having to wait in line for a spot. It was amazing! Everyone, you must check out this hidden gem 💗! 📍 Baihuayuan Park 🅿️ For those driving, you can park at the zoo parking lot, which is a five-minute walk away 🚶🏻 🚇 Take Metro Line 3 to Huiquan Square Station, Exit A, and walk for ten minutes 🚶🏻 The park is filled with lush trees, green grass, and various flowers in full bloom, creating vivid natural landscapes.

And there really weren’t many people! ! There is a glass cabin here that looks pretty nice! ! Walking along the path, you can capture the feeling of being in a sea of ​​flowers. Using a cell phone with double or triple magnification you can capture the feeling of having a lot of flowers! ! It feels quite nice to use that hazy filter! I also took some live pictures for you to see!

Qingdao Baihua Garden is a pleasant seaside park suitable for photography, and it's a great place to take children on weekends. It's worth noting that Baihua Garden is also a national 4A-level tourist attraction and it's free to the public, making it a perfect spot for flower viewing.
