Qingdao City at night!
Getting There - Subway or taxi to May Fourth Square.
What a treat we had going to the olympic center to have some sundowners on a yatch. The sailing center has a few boats you can rent to sail out during the day or have a few friends and party in at night.
It was a little chilly but the view made it worth it. Once the sun is down the city lights come on and do a beautiful light show against the buildings.
There are a few Seafood barbecue restaurants along the pier, however we ordered pizza and snacks and celebrated with a few drinks on.the boat.
There are many hotels in the area if you wish to stay close by.
A definite to-do on your check list when staying in Qingdao.

Qingdao Olympic Center night view..
The night view of the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center is truly magnificent. The area around the sailing center is illuminated by dazzling lights that light up the night sky, and the yachts fluttering on the water create a shining spectacle.
The reflection of the buildings in the sea is stunning.
At night, the buildings put on a light show, and around that time, many tourists and Qingdao citizens come out to stroll or exercise in the night streets.
The promenade leading from the red symbol of Qingdao's May Fourth Square is a great place to walk while looking at the yachts by the sea, and there are decent restaurants in the nearby shopping malls, making it a nice place to wander around after dinner.

Chasing seagulls and riding the waves, encounter the limited winter romance in Qingdao
Qingdao's winter occasionally graces us with charming snowflakes, and even more so with the adorable seagulls 🐦 that travel all the way from Siberia. Every time I walk by the seaside, I can see them, adding a lot of joyful vitality to Qingdao's winter~
As a Qingdao native, I'm no longer satisfied with just feeding seagulls at the Zhan Bridge! Take the 'Marine Bus Route' Line 1. Departing from the Olympic Sailing Center K1 pier, the route passes: Olympic Sailing Center—Underwater World—Badaguan, unlocking a different sightseeing journey to feed the seagulls!
🕙Departure times:
09:30, 10:40, 11:50, 13:00, 14:10, 15:20, 16:30 starting at K1 pier
Everyone can take note of the times, plan accordingly to reduce waiting for the boat. I chose the earliest departure, this expanse of blue sea, accompanied by the chase of the seagull army~ as if they are escorting us! So you can prepare in advance some of the seagulls' favorites
Feeding seagulls is a lot of fun, and the cruise ship will provide bread, but let me tell you a secret, Qingdao's 'Youtiao' (deep-fried dough sticks),
are the seagulls' favorite, bringing your own Youtiao is definitely a good choice. Whenever I hold up the Youtiao high, those seagulls will come flying over, they are just too adorable!
Going out to sea, be sure to keep warm, the sea breeze is really 'solid'. Hats, scarves are both warm and photogenic items. On the sea, interacting with the seagulls, feel this unique joy.
Come to Qingdao, chase seagulls and ride the waves, encounter this romance that belongs to winter!
Besides, sailing on a single sailboat ⛵️ is also a superb experience, ride the wind and waves, feel the joy of the 'Sailing Capital' 💕

The venue of this Olympic Games in Qingdao has become a free and open tourist attraction
2008 Beijing Olympic Games sailing competition held in Qingdao, and also achieved the reputation of Qingdao Sailboat Capital. Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center is located not far from the downtown Wusi Square. It is a free and open tourist attraction and has become a place for many foreign tourists to come to Qingdao for a card. Although the Beijing Olympic Games has been in existence for 11 years, the giant torch sculpture of the Olympic Sailing Center is still standing by the sea. The flags on both sides of the Torch Dam are floating, and in the bay next to it, various cruise ships are docked. The
Olympic Center is surrounded by high-rise buildings. It is the central city of Qingdao. It is completely different from the garden houses in the old town. It is more fashionable and modern, full of vitality.
Sailboat can be said to be one of the image signs of Qingdao. There are many sailing training schools in Qingdao. Visitors can also take a sailing boat at the Olympic Sailing Center to experience the charm of this sport, and of course there are large sightseeing cruises.
Standing on the shore, you can see the sailboats coming in and out, the speedboats come and go, the summer is the tourist season in Qingdao, and there are many tourists in the Olympic Sailing Center. The Qingdao International Conference Center on the shore of the
is the main venue of the Shanghe Qingdao Summit. From a distance, it looks like a seagull spreading its wings, meaning to fly and dream, to sail and sail.
Lover dam is also a leisure place that many tourists like to go. This is a levee that extends into the sea, sheltering the waves from the cruise ship. There are many bars and cafes in the lover's dam. It is very lively at night. At the end of the dam is a white lighthouse. .
From the lover's dam to the downtown area of Qingdao, there are many high-rise buildings along the seashore. The white sails on the sea surface are undulating with the waves. This is the new city of Qingdao, showing different scenery with the quiet old town.

The Olympic Sailing Center has become like this. The sunset at night, the daytime, the sunrise at sea, the magical flat fog, the dilapidated fishing boat, the speedboat of Yangfan, and the bustling high buildings you just have to wait.
Qingdao is the best city. "Red tile green trees, blue sea and blue sky", this is a vivid portrayal of Mr. Kang Youwei's vivid depiction of Qingdao's architecture and environment. Not completely strange, not too close. In terms of time cost, the driving within 2 hours will not be too tired.

The Olympic Sailing Center has the most beautiful sunset in Qingdao.
Sure enough, when you decide to walk and short trip, the sky will help you. The good day with clouds is not a piece, not a flower, but a cloud of the sky. The Olympic Sailing Center has become like this. This cloud makes the city more agile.
