Xiaomaidao Park

You should always take a trip to Qingdao, feel the evening breeze of the Orange Sea, watch the sunrise at the Shilaoren Beach🌅, stroll along Qinyu Road, wander around Xiaomai Island, experience the red bricks and green trees under the blue sky and sea🌳, and this overwhelming romance. . 🍊Signal Hill The best viewing spot for red tiles and green trees, but it takes 20 minutes to climb to the top. There is a rotating observation deck on the summit which charges a fee, but it's not necessary to go there, as the scenery from the other observation decks is equally beautiful. . 🍊Xiaoyushan Park Half beach coast and half shaded by green trees. It takes five minutes to reach the top of the mountain⛰️. Due to the bad weather, I chose to go to Signal Hill instead of Xiaoyushan Park. . 🍊Qingdao Catholic Church 💒 Also known as St. Michael's Cathedral, its Gothic architecture is outstanding‼️ The shooting spot next to the 1907 Film Club rooftop recommended online is on the top of an abandoned residential building. When I went there, the door was locked, and it was quite desolate. I don't recommend going there alone. The recent decorations placed at the entrance are quite annoying😡 Additionally, the rooftop of the Manxin Hotel near the train station also has a good spot. . 🍊University Road, Longjiang Road Anime Graffiti Wall A must-visit spot in Qingdao, with old foreign-style houses, cafes, and red walls among green trees, very artistic, but super crowded, you have to queue to take photos📸. . 🍊Qinyu Road, Luxun Park Next to each other, sunset, seaside, cafes, reefs, pines, just this combination is very romantic. . 🍊Xiaomai Island The most beautiful and satisfying place of my trip to Qingdao, fulfilled all my imaginations of the seaside of Qingdao, the fairy shooting spot of the internet-famous tree is absolutely gorgeous‼️‼️‼️ . 🍊Badagou, Xilingxia Road, Sanlu The filming location of the web drama 'The Best of Us', blue sea and sky with 🌳, embankments, very photogenic, just a bit too sunny🌞. . 🍊Qingdao Zhanqiao Pier Feels like the pier is about to break, way too crowded, better to admire from a distance. . 🍊May Fourth Square, Olympic Sailing Center Just pass by and check it in if you like, it's up to personal preference. . 🍊Itinerary Day1 Yan'er Island—Taidong Night Market🍧 . Day2 Qinyu Road—Luxun Park—University Road Internet Celebrity Corner—ONE CUP (Qingdao)—Anime Road—Totoro Graffiti Wall—Bùshě Day and Night Coffee☕️—Signal Hill⛰️—Former Site of the Governor's Mansion—Tuandao Agricultural Market Seafood Processing . Day3 Sunrise at Shilaoren Beach🌅—Xiaomai Island—Catholic Church💒—Badagou, Xilingxia Road, Sanlu . ❤️❤️❤️Tips: 1️⃣Do good sun protection, check the weather before going to the beach, if it's rainy, the effect will be much worse 2️⃣It's recommended to start early to avoid crowds for a better experience 3️⃣Download the subway app in advance, it's cost-effective💯, if it's crowded, taking a taxi🚗 is the most economical 4️⃣For accommodation, it's best to stay near May Fourth Square, or at least near a subway🚇 station for convenient travel

Travelled with friends by metro and had to walk a few mins to reach the park. Can easily be found using map apps. Such a beautiful and breath taking park, a place to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze. Some families were there for picnics and to take memorable pictures. Fun place to relax with families and friends🙂 #summervacation

The seawater of Xiaomai Island is also very clean✨ Go to Xiaomai Island, feel the sea breeze, sit on the grass and listen to the music, watch a healing sunset🌇 Xiaomai Island is located at the southeast end of Yushan Island in the South District of Qingdao City, Xiaomai Island has a unique island reef ecological environment, with clear water, pure air and rich marine resources. Location: Xiaomai Island Park

City Walk Tour route, counterclockwise around the island | Island Bridge->Coastal Reef Trail-->Red Walkway & Big Lawn->Coastal Stone Steps & Popular Lighthouse->Lonely Tree->Popular Tree->Music Lawn Map: For specific routes, see /Figure 2/ Time: Open all year round__0 yuan free no reservation required_suggest 2-3 hours half a day is plenty Transportation: Drive or take a taxi to "Xiaomai Island Park" (Laoshan District Fushan Suoyao Second Road), private cars are not allowed to enter, there is a parking lot at the entrance of the park, you have to walk onto the island Travel Tips|The movie atmosphere spots on the island! Island Bridge: After entering the scenic area and walking onto the island, you first have to pass through a long corridor bridge, where you can turn back to capture the feeling of a cityscape at sea. Facing the left side of Xiaomai Island's stone beach, around five o'clock by the seaside, you can see many people setting up their equipment to shoot the sunrise, and that's where you can capture the sunrise. The feeling of 'the moon rises over the sea, sharing this moment from the ends of the earth' is very healing. Around 9 in the morning, you can catch the tide along the Coastal Reef Trail: Most of the photo spots on Xiaomai Island are on the back of the island, you need to walk through about 10 minutes of coastal trail first, a small part of it is still very primitive, all rocks without fences, need to pay attention to safety oh Red Walkway & Big Lawn: In fact, the red walkway basically surrounds the entire Xiaomai Island, but the red railing facing the green grassy slope is more photogenic, the lawn and the sea complement each other, and any shot is a beautiful painting. Coastal Stone Steps & Popular Lighthouse: The popular lighthouse has been fenced off and can no longer be approached, only aerial photography is possible, but the platform next to it can still go up close to the seaside, in a herringbone shape. Lonely Tree: This popular lonely tree is very famous, growing on the side of the hillside, with lush and lovely foliage, but remember to do sun protection, it is recommended to wear a white dress, a more pure suit, light-colored long skirts, and you can also bring a straw hat, basket, sunglasses, bouquet or colorful balloons as props to add points Popular Tree: Like the Lonely Tree, many people come here to take pictures. The location in Figure 1 is: stand at the entrance of Xiaomai Island, open Gaode to search for "Research Institute", then follow the navigation and walk there, the journey takes about 5 minutes. The shooting spot is right above the parking spot at the entrance of the Research Institute. The trees in Figures 1 and 12 are the trees that are spaced between parking spots. It is recommended to go there to shoot from 7 am to 9 am, there are fewer people at this time, and after 9 am, more people will come. In the afternoon, it should be backlit here, I guess it won't be able to capture the green effect.

Recently, many friends have asked about coming to Qingdao for a visit, and the most frequently asked question is where to watch the sunrise. I have sorted out the places where I often watch the sunrise, hoping that everyone can see the perfect sunrise during the holiday. Main city from west to east: ① Badaxia Square, now the sun will be briefly blocked by Badaguan, and after the sun rises, it will gradually illuminate the landmarks of the old city. When the wind is calm and the waves are calm, the sea will be golden. Figure 1, 2 ② The third sea bathing beach, if you live near May 4th Square, you can come here, sit on the beach and watch the morning light illuminate the towering buildings by the sea, and feel the seaside urban scenery. Take a walk in Badaguan in the early morning and feel a sense of tranquility. Figure 3 ③ Yan'er Island Mountain Park, a non-famous seaside park, a good place to watch the sunrise in autumn and winter, the sun rises at the top of the tower on Xiaomai Island, but the sunrise will be blocked by Xiaomai Island during the holiday, but after the sunrise, you can walk along the seaside from here to the east. A romantic enjoyment. Figure 4 ④ Xiaomai Island Park, you can watch the sunrise on the beach of Xiaomai Island or on Xiaomai Island, or even choose to camp. If the person next to you at the moment of sunrise is your beloved, then how can you compare your heart is not too much. Figure 5, 6 ⑤ From the Polar Sea Football Field to the Ruishi Bookstore at the Stone Old Man Sea Bathing Beach, you can watch the sunrise for nearly 4 kilometers. Before the Sculpture Park, the beach is not inferior to the Stone Old Man, but there will be a little less people. The Stone Old Man doesn't need to say, if the position is right, you can also see the sunrise "Godzilla", but the sunrise from the Ruishi Bookstore to the east will be blocked by the reef. Figure 7, 8 ⑥ Liuqing River Beach, the most western can barely see the sunrise, not particularly recommended. If you live here, it is still very good to play here after the tide recedes. After the tide recedes, you can often pick up starfish, small crabs or beautiful shells. ⑦ The most beautiful Qingshan Fishing Village, this season does not have an ideal position, the best angle Qingshan Arch can no longer see the sunrise, the north side of Qingshan Reservoir may see the sunrise on the fishing village. If you don't live here, you must enter the Laoshan Scenic Area Tourist Special Road from the Liuqing River Checkpoint before 6:50, and it is safer to be earlier. During the day, social vehicles are not allowed to pass freely here. Figure 9-10 ⑧ Continue along the tourist special road towards the Yangkou checkpoint to the Fengshan East Beach, the scenic area special road is very good to see, one side is the mountain and the other is the sea, find a parking space, you can enjoy the beautiful sunrise. Figure 11-15 ⑨ Finally, it is the Yangkou Conference Beach. There are still many homestays here. In addition, this is also a holy place for sea catching in Qingdao. There is the "most lonely" wooden trestle on the beach in Qingdao. Sitting on the bridge in the morning, listening to the waves brushing and beating the wooden trestle, it is beautiful. Figure 16, 17 ⑩ Huangdao comes less by itself, but Jiulongshan Road is a good choice. This is also one of the most beautiful seaside roads in Qingdao. If you choose the beach, Golden Beach, Silver Beach, and Navy Park are all good. Figure 18 Finally, the Shandong University Binhai Park in Jimo District and Tianheng Island can also watch the sunrise, but it is far from the city, and the small partners nearby can go and see. The first day of the holiday (September 29) sunrise at 5:49, delayed by 1 minute every day, the morning in Qingdao is relatively cool, you must wear a jacket.

They say Wheat Island is noisy, but I spent a whole day in a daze by the sea. They say Wheat Island is boring, but here I encountered the romantic white moonlight. I came to Wheat Island with the main group at dusk, attracted by its fame. There were many people, mostly young. There are no landmark attractions here, but I like its vast green lawns, the sea breeze brushing against my face, the delicate glow of the sunset, and facing the sea with a feeling of boundless freedom. 💡 Take it slow, sit on the grass, and enjoy the live singer's performance. Is there anything more comfortable than this? 💡 Get up quickly, run freely on the grass, towards the direction of the wind and the sea. There is nothing more exhilarating than this. ✅ Suggested Activities 🌈 Focus on the view: Find an afternoon with a sunset, check the sunset time, leave 2 hours early to go to the island, circle the island, watch the sunset, enjoy the evening glow, and admire the moonlight at night. 📷 Focus on photography: Go in the morning, take pictures of the big lawn in the backlight, the sky is very blue, the key is that there are few people. Start touring from the right side after arriving on the island, there are lawns, seaside boardwalks, benches, just like in a movie, don't be too romantic - especially photogenic! ⚠️ Precautions Wheat Island is a small island connected to the mainland by a bridge. Sometimes the sea breeze is strong, and the temperature is low at night, so wear an extra thin coat. In summer, the island's light is strong, especially in the morning, so pay attention to sun protection. 🚌 Transportation Self-driving: Navigate to "Mixue Bingcheng Wheat Island store" for parking. It is very close to the bridge to the island, a 10-minute walk. Subway: Exit E of Mai Island Station on Line 2, a 1.2 km walk. ☕️ Dining There are no restaurants on the island, and dining requires leaving the island. There are many restaurants in the nearby Yinhai World.

I've been to Wheat Island twice. The first afternoon I came, there were too many people, and not only did I have to queue to take photos, but I was also against the light. So I sat on Wheat Island and watched a sea sunset, blowing the evening wind, and the sunset rolled all the romance into the waves, extremely satisfied~ I came again early the next morning, it was perfect~ Wheat Island is worth a visit, sharing with everyone. Tour order After landing on the island, you can actually go clockwise or counterclockwise. There are many places on the island with very fresh scenery.

Clockwise direction: 【Five Trees Hill】Navigate to 'Steel Research Institute Qingdao Marine Corrosion Research Institute', it's diagonally opposite. Use the tree as the foreground, and you can take a photo when the person walks up the hill. What needs to be noted is that there are fewer people in the morning and no queues. This location is only in the morning light, the sky will be very clear, if you go in the afternoon it will be against the light, the characters and trees will be darker, both mobile phones and cameras can take pictures, just adjust the focus. 【Lonely Tree】After taking a photo from the 'Five Trees', face the hill, go to the left, pass the rest area, continue to go forward a little, turn left and go down, you will see the lawn surrounded by railings, and the 'Lonely Tree' is on the right. The rocks on the shore are just very extended, which is also very good for the background of the tree. 【Seaside plank road】Facing the sea, on the left of the 'One Tree', this large area nearby feels so healing~~ Shooting time: The weather must be good and the light will be good. It is recommended to arrive around 9-10 in the morning, there are no crowds, the island is very quiet, and there will be more people later.
