[2025 Qingdao Attraction] Travel Guide for Qingdao Mountain and Sea Nightless City Themed Block (Updated Nov)

😭Location: Mingyue Shanhaijian Beside Huihai Road South, Chengyang, Qingdao, Shandong China 🤭Details: If you visit Qingdao, you must try the influencer experience at least once. This place showcases the traditional style of Chinese theme parks. It seems that Chinese people truly love extravagant designs. The diverse and colorful buildings are captivating. Additionally, the aquarium features various fish, making it a feast for the eyes and ears.

I took the subway from 54 Square Station, transferred at Qingdao North Station, and got off at Hongdao Railway Station. From there, it was about a 10-15 minute walk to reach Night City. The subway ride was quite convenient—clean, not too crowded, and overall a pleasant experience. Since I visited in early June, the sun set quite late, so I had to wait a while for it to get dark. However, as I had signed up for a 'Wanghong' (internet celebrity) experience, I spent time choosing outfits and getting my hair done, and by the time I was ready, the sun had just set, which was perfect timing. Night City truly comes alive after sunset. It was stunningly beautiful, vibrant, and had more attractions than I expected. The fact that there's no entrance fee was almost surprising! There were performances and shows happening all around, making the time fly by. I left around 5 PM and returned to 54 Square Station after 11 PM. Since it was late, I took a Didi (ride-hailing service) back. For those concerned about the distance from the city center, I highly recommend visiting around sunset at least once. It's worth the trip! Address: 666 Huihai Road, Hetao Street, Chengyang District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, China (鲁B-W19) Hours: Monday–Friday: 2 PM – 10 PM Saturday–Sunday: 12 PM – 10 PM Admission: Free

It's a long distance, but it's worth a visit. It's a neighborhood with nothing to do.

Overall: The nightlife was literally amazing. It was a Friday night, so there weren't many people there. There were plenty of food courts, but it didn't seem like a lot of people were eating out. There's an amusement park, but not many people were using it. The information before we went said there were a lot of shows, but we only saw the Little Mermaid show. That seemed to be the main attraction, and it was worth it. It took about an hour to take pictures and explore. There's not a lot to see, but if you want to experience the splendor of the continent for free, I recommend it. Location: It's near the airport, so it took about 40 minutes from downtown. We went on our last night, but since we had a flight the next morning, and many reviews said it wasn't worth the distance, we decided to stay at a hotel near the nightlife. A tip! We stayed at the ibis Hotel, which is within 15 minutes of both the nightlife and the airport. We had dinner in the city, had plenty of fun, checked in at the ibis, and then went to the nightlife, which was just the right amount of time. But when I took a taxi around dinner time, the traffic was terrible. ㅜㅜ It took about an hour to get from the airport to the city on the first day, but since it was around 6-7 pm on Friday night, a 40-minute trip was supposed to take 2 hours. ㅜㅜ So I told the driver to use the highway for an extra fee, and it saved me time! #QingdaoPlacesToVisit #MingyueShanNightSea #QingdaoHotPlaces #QingdaoNightView

The highlight of my Qingdao trip was a visit to "Mingyue Mountain and the Nighttime City" (明月山海间不夜城)! At night, this place is filled with dazzling lights, truly a fantasy. ✨ It's about 12-15km from the city center, May Fourth Square, so taking a taxi is the most convenient option. 🚕💨 A taxi ride typically takes 40-50 minutes, and the fare is approximately 60-80 yuan (approximately 12,000-15,000 won). If you're using the Didi taxi app, just enter "Mingyue Mountain and the Nighttime City" in Chinese for accurate directions! The moment I arrived, I couldn't help but gasp in awe at the dazzling lights and majestic scale that unfolded before my eyes. 🤩 The biggest draw is #freeadmission! Isn't it incredible to be able to enjoy such a spectacular attraction without paying an entrance fee? Within the city of nightlife, a variety of performances and parades take place at various times. 🎭 From traditional costumed performers marching to dazzling light shows, there's plenty to keep you entertained. With countless street food stalls, you can sample Qingdao's diverse street food and feel as if you've stepped into a massive #themepark. 🍢🍡 A tip! To truly appreciate the city of nightlife, visit after the sun has completely set. The colorful lights illuminate the night sky, creating a completely different atmosphere than during the day. This ensures you'll be able to capture some truly memorable photos wherever you are! 📸 Be sure to check the opening hours before your visit! The city of nightlife can vary depending on the season and day of the week, so be sure to check the official account or other information in advance to avoid wasted time. If you're looking to make your Qingdao nightlife even more special, the Mingyue Mountain Nightlife is a must-visit! 💖 #SeptemberTravelSupport #OverseasTravel #ChinaTravel #QingdaoTravel #QingdaoNightView #PhotoSpotsForLife #PlacesToVisitInQingdao #MingyueShanNightSeasideCity

The Night City of Myeongwolsan, a place I've only heard of before. This place has created a classical Chinese theme street. The antique buildings are dazzlingly lit. Upon entering, a large aquarium greets you, where mermaid costumes perform a mermaid show. There are also traditional costume dancers, fireworks, and plenty more to see. And it's free! If you're ever in Qingdao, be sure to visit!

I usually enjoy flashy places, and when I visited Shanghai before, I was especially satisfied with the dazzling Chinese lights. This time, I visited the city of lights and was so impressed by its splendor and beauty. There were frequent mermaid shows and other performances, so there was plenty to see and do, great for taking pictures, and the rides made it a great place to take the kids. Best of all, it was free... They even had a spectacular fireworks display... Taxi fare from downtown was a bit high, but I was very satisfied!
