📍Location: Qianxigu Road, Huangdao District, Qingdao, Shandong 📐Area: 771m² 📎Venue Highlights: The chamber aims to create a space that respects the past while looking toward the future. The chapel is divided into two parts: the lower section features a semi-sunken space and an exit courtyard that connects to the surrounding landscape, blending into the mountain and square. This design ties it to the eternal existence of nature. The upper section, the sanctuary itself, stands proudly amidst the mountains and waters, embodying a sense of grandeur and righteousness. A standout feature is its walls and a tower made of dozens of spaced aluminum ribs. A series of soft curves are scaled along the spatial sequence, forming a restrained cavity. Its baseline relationship continues the traditional basilica form while exuding a strong sense of fluidity. In three dimensions, these curves create a futuristic and even eternal state. This softness contrasts sharply with the external rigidity, creating a visual interaction between the interior and exterior. 💭Design Concept: "To create a modern icon, we needed to design a pure form that still evokes the archetype of a church." "Thus, during the design process, we integrated various vernacular facades of traditional churches. The resulting basic volume is expressed through a series of slices." From different angles, the chapel offers varying visual perspectives. Inside, the arched dome creates a sense of "returning." It's a perfect spot for photography, ideal for family, friends, or wedding shoots. Effortlessly capture stunning, Instagram-worthy shots! 🏨Accommodation: We recommend staying at the Magnolia Hotel, which offers ample free parking, making it especially convenient for those driving. Alternatively, you can take the subway: Hotel → Walk 1.4 km (3-minute drive) → "Shuangzhu Road Station" (West Coast Express Line connects the entire city). The hotel is just a 10-minute walk (or 2-minute drive, 2 traffic lights) from Haiwang Road Food Street. Known as a "foodie's paradise," this street offers a wide variety of culinary delights and is bustling from day to night. Here, you can not only indulge in delicious food but also immerse yourself in the local hospitality and vibrant nightlife. (Every restaurant serves Qingdao's signature draft beer 🍺).

#TravelItinerary 🌛 Night 📍 May Fourth Square and the Surrounding Promenade May Fourth Square is even more worthwhile when you visit at night! The square is a 20-minute walk from Haitian Mall, which was near my accommodation. The surrounding nightlife is reminiscent of the cyberpunk world I dreamed of as a child, so a nighttime stroll is a must!! 📍 Taitung Night Market After taking some photos at May Fourth Square, head to the MRT station and visit the Taitung Night Market! I think the charm of the Taitung Night Market lies in the Chinese food culture, blending with the diverse European architecture. Instead of dinner, grab some street food and take a stroll around the area to fully enjoy Qingdao's nightlife. 📍 Mingyue Mountain: A City That Never Sleeps Shanhai Garden is a 10-minute walk from Hongdao Station on Line 8! I think it's named after its dazzling nighttime glow. You can experience Chinese culture at a Chinese-style theme park and, most importantly, see the mermaid show! I think it's a great place to visit on your second night. 🌞Daytime 📍 Zhongshan Road Near Zhongshan Road are the Jimoru Market and the Catholic Church, so if you visit before dawn, you can see buildings that truly live up to Qingdao's reputation as Europe in China. My mother wasn't particularly keen on visiting China before coming here, but after visiting Qingdao, she loved it so much. Of all the places, Zhongshan Road was her favorite! I highly recommend it. 📍 Pier Actually, there are so many people that I don't think it's necessary to go that far. "There's a sea?" If you're passing by, I recommend stopping by. 📍 Yacht Club Before visiting, I wondered why I bothered to go all the way to the yacht club, but after visiting, I was completely captivated by its beautiful scenery. It's a truly beautiful neighborhood that blends perfectly with the European-style plaza, so I think it's a must-see on any Qingdao itinerary! 📍 Beer Museum If you like beer, I recommend it. If you don't, you can skip it. I don't really like beer, so I didn't feel the need to come! #SeptemberTravelSupportEvent #QingdaoTravel #May4Square #MingyueShanNightSea #ZhongshanBridge

🏨 Name: WeekendHome B&B (Jinkou Second Road Branch) 💛 Don’t want to move! Curling up on the balcony rattan chair watching the leisurely charm of old Qingdao courtyards 🌅 When the wind carries the sea breeze over the red tiles, even the freshly brewed Laoshan green tea feels refreshingly pure. The succulents on the courtyard flower rack, the old Qingdao picture books on the bookshelf, peeling local oysters around the small table! This place truly understands the slow life of the island city. 🏡 This time I stayed at 📍 WeekendHome B&B (Jinkou Second Road Branch) in Shinan District, Qingdao, just a 10-minute walk to Lu Xun Park—absolutely perfect. ⭐️ This B&B is hidden in the red tile alleys of the old town 📍. Opening the window, you see white bed sheets fluttering on the clothesline, and the bamboo woven small table on the balcony faces a low wall covered with climbing roses. Early morning, leaning on the windowsill waiting for the aroma of steamed mackerel from the neighbor auntie to drift over, even the wind carries freshness. 🌿 The B&B courtyard grows hydrangeas and mint, the living room coffee table holds freshly bought local cherries. Sitting on the stone steps at the door watching cats chase light spots, time drifts into the afternoon. It’s just right for a walk to Badaguan to see the old foreign-style houses. ❗️ Suggest booking three weeks in advance for the courtyard king bed room; slow strollers love it, and it sells out fast in peak season. ❗️ The B&B lends vintage cameras and sun hats, and the owner will give you a map of secret photo spots in the old town. ❗️ The island city’s seaside wind is strong and cool in the early morning and evening, bring a knitted cardigan; it’s perfect to wrap up in for an evening walk by the sea. ❗️ A 5-minute walk away is an old noodle shop serving seafood braised noodles with mackerel dumplings. After eating, you’ll be so satisfied you squint your eyes. Back at the B&B, nestle into the sofa watching small decorations made from oyster shells, and even the thought of going out fades away.

🌄 Photo Tips Avoid the crowded rotating observation tower and try these three lesser-known spots: 1. Xiaoyushan Lanchao Pavilion: Facing Signal Hill across the sea, the red mushroom-shaped building frames with the blue sea and sky, easily capturing celebrity-style shots. 2. Guanhaishan Monet’s Window: The corridor’s small window frames an oil painting-like panorama of the old town, naturally adding a cinematic filter. 3. Signal Hill Half-Slope Viewing Platform: At the end of the six-bend corridor, the creamy-colored sunset is as gentle as a fairy tale world. 📸 Tips: Shoot early morning or after rain for soft light and more translucent old town red tiles; wear light-colored long dresses for a striking contrast with green trees and red roofs. 🎒 Must-Have List • Sunscreen trio: hat + sunglasses + SPF50+ sunscreen (summer sun alert!) • Mosquito repellent: many mosquitoes in the forest, wearing long pants is safer • Portable mini fan: lifesaver for sweating on hikes, also cools down in the windy seaside • Power bank: the 360° rotating observation deck is great for photos, beware of low phone battery! 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations Preferably in Shinan District old town, within walking distance to attractions: • University Road Artsy Guesthouse: open the window to red walls and green trees, 15-minute walk to Signal Hill, average 400 RMB/night. • Orange Qingdao Zhanqiao Seaview Hotel: 270° panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sea, 10-minute walk to Zhanqiao Pier, about 200 RMB/person/night. • Kaiyue Hotel: century-old German-style building renovation, next to the Catholic Church, full of artistic retro vibes. 🍽️ Food Without Regrets • Chuange Fish Dumplings: fresh mackerel dumplings that will amaze you, squid dumplings “burst with juice,” about 70 RMB per person. • Yingkou Road Farmers Market: choose your seafood and have it cooked next door at the beer house, recommended “Island Beer House,” about 80 RMB per person for a full meal. • Dengzhou Road Beer Street: draft beer paired with spicy stir-fried clams, recommended “Juxin Fish Mansion” for king crab hot pot, full of lively atmosphere. 💣 Avoid: Be cautious with street stalls near the train station, prices are inflated and freshness is questionable! 🎁 Must-Buy Souvenirs • Tuandao Farmers Market: freshly made crispy pork fat with lingering fragrance, sea shrimp and shredded squid offer great value, popular among locals. • Qinliji Specialty Store: Laoshan green tea with rich bean aroma, cod cubes and pepper beer beans are addictive snacks, beautifully packaged for gifts. • Yingkou Road Market: vacuum-packed mackerel and sweet dried shrimp, ready to steam and eat, bringing the taste of the sea home. 🚶 Pitfall Avoidance Guide • Enter from the north gate, 10 minutes straight to the summit, avoid crowds at the west gate. • The rotating observation tower charges 10 RMB; choose based on weather: worth climbing on sunny days, save the money on cloudy days. • Souvenir shops at the foot of the hill double the prices; it’s better to buy specialties at supermarkets or markets. ✨ Final reminder: Signal Hill is small but offers a complete view of Qingdao’s “red tiles, green trees, blue sea, and sky.” Start from the north gate at dawn, climb to the top to catch the sunrise, then stroll through the old town with a cup of Laoshan green tea latte—this is the most healing way to experience Qingdao～🌅🍵

Locals show you how to explore the most beautiful Qingdao with the least money. Settled in Qingdao for 3 years, I’ve fallen into countless traps but also discovered many hidden gems! Seeing so many friends from other places get scammed, I must share my private guide with you today—from route planning to food tips—so your Qingdao trip leaves no regrets! 🌊 3-Day Essential Itinerary Recommendation Day 1: Artistic Stroll in the Old Town · Zhanqiao Pier: Qingdao’s landmark, free!

Wait for My Boat to Dock: 20-year-old restaurant, great environment, fresh seafood steamed on the spot with secret sauce (about 100 RMB per person) 5. Hongfa Red Bakery: High cost-performance old bakery, four flavors with rich fillings (about 15 RMB per person) Avoidance tips: · Don’t eat seafood at the big stalls near Zhanqiao Pier—expensive and not fresh · Beer Street’s beer prices are three times higher than outside; for draft beer, go to small shops near Dengzhou Road Beer Street 🚗 Transportation Guide Arrival: · Jiaodong International Airport: 39 km from city center, recommend arriving 2 hours early, Metro Line 8 direct (7 RMB, about 50 minutes) · Qingdao Station/Qingdao North Station: Most high-speed trains arrive at Qingdao North Station; Qingdao Station mainly serves regular trains (Qingdao Station is very close to Zhanqiao Pier) City Transportation: · Metro: 7 lines cover major attractions (download "Qingdao Metro" app for QR code rides) · Bus: 1-2 RMB, supports QR code payment, wide coverage but traffic jams during peak hours · Taxi: Starting fare 10 RMB, recommend using the meter; ride-hailing apps are more cost-effective · Tram: Unique experience but limited routes 🏨 Accommodation Area Choices 1. May Fourth Square: City center with convenient transport, developed commercial dining, very convenient for night views and light shows (hotels 300-500 RMB/night) 2.

Near Badaguan: Collection of international architectural styles, villas and small Western-style houses with beautiful scenery (high-end hotels 600+ RMB/night) ⚠️ Pitfall Avoidance Tips 1. Choose Qingdao Station or Qingdao North Station when arriving; Qingdao Station is very close to Zhanqiao Pier, avoid Qingdao West Station (super far!) 2. Don’t trust taxi drivers’ recommended scenic spots or restaurants—they usually have vested interests 3. Prioritize metro for travel; almost all major attractions have metro stations 4. Highly recommend Polar Ocean World and Olympic Sailing Center; you can try sailing activities (remember to bargain) 5. Avoid cartoon characters who approach you for photos at attractions—they all charge fees 6. Respect religious beliefs when visiting St. Michael’s Cathedral; dress appropriately and no slippers allowed inside 7. Buy souvenirs at large supermarkets; souvenir shops in scenic areas charge double 8. Coastal rocks are slippery; be careful when taking photos and always watch for tide changes 💡 Warm Tips · Qingdao weather is changeable, with possible strong winds and temperature drops; keep an eye on weather forecasts (coastal areas are colder than downtown) · Consider tide changes when photographing sunsets by the sea to avoid danger · Most tickets are for Qingdao Underwater World, but Polar Ocean World offers a better experience · Book hotels in advance, especially during holidays and peak seasons (prices double in July and August) · Download the "Qingdao Metro" app for seamless metro and bus rides · Strong UV rays by the sea; even on cloudy days, apply sunscreen 💰 Budget Reference (3 days 2 nights per person) Item Budget Comfortable Accommodation 400 RMB 800 RMB Meals 300 RMB 600 RMB Transportation 150 RMB 300 RMB Tickets 250 RMB 450 RMB Total 1100 RMB 2150 RMB Which Qingdao attraction do you most want to visit?
