Three days in Qingdao just weren't enough… I found 15 amazing spots for ocean-view photos. My social media has been blowing up with questions about them. 1️⃣ No. 2 Bathing Beach A hidden gem next to the breakwater, just like in "Goblin." Fewer crowds make it perfect for photos. It disappears underwater during high tide, so check the tide charts. 2️⃣ Shazikou Square The colorful fishing village against the blue sea feels like Italy. Even better with a sunset 🌅 3️⃣ Wheat Island Park Stroll through a world straight out of a Miyazaki anime. Even better in spring when the grass is green. The lone tree in the park is also worth checking out. 4️⃣ Xilingxia Third Road Qingdao's version of "Little Kamakura," perfect for Japanese-style photos. 5️⃣ Emerald Garden The road to the sea. Worth a stop if you're going to Shilaoren, but not recommended as a standalone destination. 6️⃣ No. 1 Bathing Beach Qingdao's iconic heart-shaped tree. Solitary yet romantic. 7️⃣ Xiaoqingdao Park A less-known spot where you can get the St. Michael's Cathedral in your frame. 8️⃣ North Sea Rescue Bureau The red and white lighthouse and distant ferry give off European vibes. Navigate to "Lighthouse Courtyard" if driving. 9️⃣ Shilaoren Bathing Beach 🔥 The iconic little white house is very "Jeju Island." If you have time, wait for a Shilaoren sunset. 🔟 Qinyu Road The stunning S-shaped coastal road and lone tree are worth a trip to Qingdao. 1️⃣1️⃣ Li Weinong Park A less-known spot similar to Zhan Bridge, easy to avoid the crowds. 1️⃣2️⃣ Sculpture Park The pine and cypress maze leading to the sea is great for photos. The park itself is also worth exploring. 1️⃣3️⃣ Xiaoqingdao Park The park has many hidden gems for photography. 1️⃣4️⃣ Tsingtao Beer 1903 Time Brewery The iconic swing and white sailboat are here too. Worth checking out together. 1️⃣5️⃣ Yumingzui The perfect spot for sunset viewing. Arrive half an hour before sunset. 🚗 Three-Day Itinerary Day 1: Xilingxia Third Road➡️ Li Weinong Park➡️ Zhan Bridge➡️ Former German Prison Site➡️ Miyazaki Manga Street➡️ Qingdao Internet-Famous Wall➡️ Qinyu Road Day 2: Xiaoqingdao Park➡️ No. 1 Bathing Beach➡️ No. 2 Bathing Beach➡️ Sculpture Park➡️ Emerald Garden➡️ Shilaoren➡️ Shazikou Day 3: North Sea Rescue Bureau➡️ Mountain Stream Valley➡️ Haishen Temple➡️ Tsingtao Beer 1903 Time Brewery➡️ Shiquetan➡️ Liansandao➡️ Yumingzui

This is Qingdao walking into the cave hidden in the reef It's like finding a secret passage to the deep sea. The waves heal everyone who sees the sea while walking on this sea embankment.

⚠️Be sure to check the tide table when you go It’s really beautiful to take pictures of the cave when the water level is moderate! It would be dangerous if the water level is too high! When it's low, no film will appear at all! - 🌊Airport Sharing Yanerdao Park Rock Cave Here is the silhouette It is recommended to wear a long skirt or a short skirt to show your figure!

The Second Bathing Beach in Qingdao is a laid-back spot to walk and appreciate the sea. The beach is family-friendly, with gentle waves perfect for swimming during the summer. Soft sand and shaded areas make it easy to chill for hours, and there’s plenty of space to spread out, even on busier days.

Push open a rusty iron gate in Badaguan, and you'll find yourself immersed in the sound of waves at the Second Beach. A 600-acre colonial villa complex and a 3,000-meter sandy beach share the same sea breeze, where Gothic spires cast fragmented shadows on the waves, and at the end of the bougainvillea-lined path, a vast expanse of blue suddenly unfolds. On the asphalt road shaded by Russian sweetgum trees, bridal gowns sweep past the walls of Chiang Kai-shek's former residence, and at the corner, you encounter the dark green marble villa once inhabited by a Danish princess. When you count to the eighth carved street sign, the salty wind will suddenly push aside all the tree shadows—beyond the ochre reefs, the beach is adorned with lace-like edges by the waves. At low tide, the beach volleyball net and German-style dormer windows gaze at each other in the twilight, while hermit crabs, carrying spiral staircase-like shells, crawl across the Victoria-style terrace base soaked by seawater. ■ Travel Guide: ① Take Metro Line 3 to "Zhongshan Park Station" and exit at Entrance C. Walk straight along Zhengyangguan Road towards the sea for 10 minutes to reach the beach. ② Take Bus 214/219 to "Wushengguan Road Station," then pass through the villa complex at No. 11 Juyongguan Road to arrive at the beach. ③ From the Third Beach, walk west along the coastal boardwalk. Turn right at the Huashi Lou ruins, and let the sea breeze guide you. The tides repeatedly inscribe Badaguan's old German name on the beach, while the foam glimmers with peach blossoms fallen from Shaoguan Road.

P1: Next to Qingdao No. 3 Bathing Beach, you can wait for the blue hour. The internal lighting of Qingdao is simply invincible, but be aware that there may be a light show, which affects the photos. P2～P3: Zhanqiao Pier Scenic Area, you can buy a bag of fried dough sticks as pigeon food on the beach, but pay attention to the tide and don't stay on the reefs for too long. P4: You can navigate to the Rainbow Bridge in May Fourth Square. The sea breeze is strong, so be careful to keep your tripod low when setting it up. You can also use the pillars next to you as a perfect substitute, so you don't need to bring a tripod. P5: No. 2 Bathing Beach. This sea cave is west of the sea dam. It is easy to see when you climb over the dam. Pay attention to the tide time. The best time is in the middle of high tide to low tide. P6: On the 5th floor of Victoria Plaza next to Qingdao Station, the wider the focal length, the better. Mine is 24mm. P7-P8: In an apartment building, you can message me privately to get the location. You can capture the Fushan Bay CBD and Signal Hill in the same frame, and you can also photograph the church. Pay attention to safety when climbing the building and protect the location.

Qingdao is definitely worth a visit! Here's a guide to must-see spots and things to do! 1. Accommodation I recommend staying near Five-Four Square. It's close to most attractions. Our hotel was right above a subway station, which was super convenient! The only downside was the long wait for the elevators, but overall it was okay! Here's the hotel info if you're interested. 🏨: Yu Jian Hai Yue Tian Lan Apartment 2. Transportation ⚠️ To take the subway in Qingdao, you'll need to download the app: Qingdao Metro Most of Qingdao's attractions are clustered together. Subway Line 3 can take you to many scenic spots, and taxis are also a convenient option. 3. Attractions *Five-Four Square divides the attractions; half are on the right and half are on the left. Plan your itinerary accordingly, focusing on either the left or right side each day! 📍 Xiaoyu Mountain 🌟🌟🌟 (Free admission) Xiaoyu Mountain isn't very high, and you can reach the top in minutes. From the summit, you can enjoy panoramic views of Qingdao's cityscape, beaches, and the sea. The mountain is small, and the walk from there to the subway station (about 10 minutes) has a real campus-drama vibe! (You'll also pass by the Ocean University of China and filming locations for the TV show *When I Fly Towards You*). Don't forget to try the traditional popsicles along the way. 📍 St. Michael's Cathedral 🌟🌟 (Admission fee) Just taking photos outside the cathedral is enough. It's very picturesque, but the interior is small and doesn't offer much for photography. I've included some photos here so you can see for yourself. 📍 Zhan Bridge 🌟 It's packed with people during the summer, so I don't really recommend it. PS: Don't go down to the beach under the bridge! The sand is super coarse and there's a lot of trash! Learned that the hard way! 📍 No.1 Bathing Beach 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The sand is incredibly fine! Whether you're playing in the sand or just relaxing and enjoying the sea breeze, it's very comfortable! Remember your sunscreen! I highly recommend trying the jet skis. Important note ⚠️: Be sure to haggle! The original price was 300 yuan per person, but we managed to get it down to 150 for two. 📍 No.3 Bathing Beach 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Light show times (except Mondays): 8:00–9:00 PM I recommend going in the evening! The light show is spectacular, and the sea breeze is refreshing. ⚠️: The waves are strong at night, so be careful around the reefs. While it's amazing to feel the waves crashing against the rocks, safety first! The rocks are covered in moss, so wear non-slip shoes! If you're lucky, you might even catch some street performers. 📍 Taidong Night Market 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 You must visit Taidong Night Market for late-night snacks! Any of the street food stalls will be delicious! You'll find everything from trendy chimney cakes and triangle-shaped milk breadsticks to local specialties. Qingdao's draft beer is amazing, and there are all sorts of flavors to try! 📍 Badaguan Scenic Area 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Every street is incredibly photogenic! You'll feel like you're in a TV show! It's close to No.2 Bathing Beach. 📍 No.2 Bathing Beach 🌟🌟🌟 The sand at No.2 Bathing Beach is coarser than at No.1, so it's a bit rough on the feet. I actually recommend the side streets near No.2 Bathing Beach more! They're great for photos! There's also a small path near the entrance that leads up a hill with castle views. 4. Food Try the Qingdao specialty *chuozi rou* (skewers)! 🍴: Lao Qingdao Chuozi Rou The *chuozi rou* is delicious, and even the pancakes are tasty on their own. Wrapped in lettuce, it's even better than Korean barbecue! 🔚 Qingdao is a truly worthwhile travel destination!

Want to go to Qingdao for a beer?🍺 Shilaoren Beach at 5 a.m. holds a surprise. As the pink and purple dawn breaks over the sea stacks, the receding tide reveals fluorescent algae on the reefs, making it feel like stepping into the fantastical planet of *Avatar*. Seasoned travelers know: to truly appreciate the ocean, go against the crowds. Walk east for 2 kilometers from the Sculpture Park boardwalk, and you'll be rewarded with a private orange sunrise. The best way to experience Badaguan is hidden at No. 11, Shan Haiguan Road. For 10 yuan, push open the peacock-blue iron gate of the Princess House and instantly fall into a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale. At 3 p.m., move to No. 2 Bathing Beach. A cave at the end of the dam appears at low tide (check the tide chart). Taking a silhouette photo at the cave entrance is like capturing a framed seascape oil painting. Explore Laoshan in reverse! Skip the crowds at Taiqing Palace and head straight to Qingshan Fishing Village. Red-tiled houses dot the tea fields, and for 20 yuan, you can take a villager's fishing boat out to sea. The starfish the captain casually scoops up are still alive. On the way back, don't miss the No. 618 bus; the right-side window seats offer a panoramic view of the cliff coastline. Foodie Radar: • Choose your own seafood at the Tuandao Farmers Market (steaming fee 5 yuan/kg); the razor clams are thicker than your fingers. • West Town stinky tofu with electric grilled meat; the crispy skin bursting with garlic juice is the soul of the dish. • Find the late-night wild wonton stalls by following local taxis; the shrimp and tiger potstickers burst with flavor. For accommodation, choose the Longjiang Road area. Stay in a guesthouse converted from an old German villa (400+ yuan in the off-season), and open the window to a wall of murals. The terrace of "Cape No. 7," where I stayed, overlooks the spire of St. Michael's Cathedral, which resembles a floating, luminous castle at night. Hiking Tips: ① The VIP ticket to the Beer Museum includes a draft tasting, elevating the Qingdao beer experience. ② Secure a window seat at a cafe on Qinyu Road 1 hour before sunset; the 38-yuan latte is worth it when the sunset paints the warships red. ③ Don't rent chairs on the beach! Bring your own picnic mat and spread it out in the pine forest of Lu Xun Park. ④ Be wary of seafood restaurants recommended by taxi drivers; the梭子蟹 (swimming crabs) might be swapped. As the waves, laced with white foam, wash over the Wheat Island boardwalk, you'll understand why this city is called the "Switzerland of the East." Qingdao's romance is hidden in the millions of diamonds created by the waves crushing the sunlight.
