Discovering Shaohai Wetland Park, Qingdao
#timetotravel
🗓️ March, 2023
🍃 Shaohai National Wetland Park in Jiaozhou, Qingdao, offers serene beauty year-round. Despite my visit last March, just before spring, the park's vastness and charm were evident.
🏞️The Confucius Six Arts and Culture Park adds cultural depth, while artificial lawns, camping facilities, and boats provide activities. You can stroll for about two hours or book a sightseeing battery car.
⛩️Ciyun Temple, a Tang Dynasty gem on a small island in Shaohai Wetland Lake, and the iconic Wanfo Pagoda enhance the scenic beauty. With shops and restaurants nearby, it's a pleasing and well-rounded experience.

It's hard not to be moved by such a scenery of Shao Hai!
🌟Highlights:
You always have to make a trip to Shao Hai Wetland Park when you come to Jiaozhou! What a beautiful lake island! Tired of seeing Qingdao's foreign-style houses, villas and castles, it's very novel to see traditional temples and pagodas. The temple on the island is called Ci Yun Temple, next to it is the Wanfo Pagoda, and there are also Confucius statues, Confucius school, a small amusement park by the lake, and the lush vegetation here is also suitable for camping.
