I didn't get a daytime ticket, so I ended up choosing an evening ticket. The evening was quite special, with parades and games. The Sheniu Club had a lot of fun. The coins I won could be exchanged for beer or used to buy things.
The place is worth of visit. It tells you how this Tsingdao beer started and the progress history. The museum also demonstrated how the beer been processed and got a chance to taste the beer.

Nice for a family day out. Lots of things for kids to see and do.
I read tons of travel guides before visiting Polar Ocean Park, but none of them were helpful. Arriving at 8:30 a.m., it was packed. The ticket gates really need to be improved. There's no separate flow for those who buy tickets at the gate, which significantly delays entry. The lines were incredibly annoying. Everything we could see indoors was blurry, and the animals were cute, but we needed to see them through the crowds. We were thinking of exploring the outdoor area first before heading back inside, just briefly enjoying the Ferris wheel and the sea lion show. It was so hot, the performers and the sea lions were working really hard, and we, the spectators, felt a bit disappointed that the ride was so short and too hot. Also, it's best to sit in the middle section, as the actors are there to see the show. Even the front rows on the sides didn't offer much. The 5D ride and story are outdated, making them only suitable for younger children. Adults and children in third grade and up shouldn't queue. After the outdoor area, you can't go back inside directly; you have to queue through the main entrance. My child didn't want to wait in line, so we didn't experience it. I wonder if we'll let him do it again.

Overall, it was a good experience. Even if you're quick, it takes most of the day. The package is a good value, and there's a lot to do, including animal shows, a cable car ride, and a boat trip. It's a 22-year-old, 5A-rated hotel, so the facilities are a bit dated. Parking is charged hourly, and you don't need to redeem your ticket on Ctrip. You need to scan a QR code at each museum and attraction. A recommended order for visiting is to see the first dolphin and beluga whale show at the Polar Museum at 9:30. Then, don't rush to visit the Polar Museum and go directly to the Happy Theater for the 10:20 sea lion show. Then, return to the Polar Museum, which will finish around mid-morning. After lunch, go to the Coral and Marine Museums. You can take the cable car to the Bird's Singing Forest. From the Bird's Singing Forest, walk 300 meters to the cruise ship pier for a boat trip. If you drive to the South Gate, you can take a taxi back to the pier, or walk back if you're not in a hurry.
The dolphin show is very popular and always full. If you don't go early, there will be no seats. We waited for the show to end and went in directly, but it was full in a short time. There is a mermaid photo booth in the venue. It is 99 yuan, including costumes, makeup and photos, and all the negatives are free. The little girl couldn't resist it. The assembly line operation is very good and beautiful. The water show is also wonderful, but the water area is not large and not very clean. The children had a lot of fun playing in the sand.

The zoo covers a huge area and contains many genetically mutated animals that cannot be seen in other zoos. The most distinctive feature should be the outdoor oceanarium, which is right by the sea. There is a large area of water where sea lions and seals are kept, and there are very few other marine life. It is still inferior to a real oceanarium. Overall, the ticket price is quite expensive.
Shendiaoshan Wildlife Park was absolutely amazing! The park is a one-way street, with no backtracking. While there are some ups and downs, the sunshades, fans, and shade trees kept the heat and fatigue at bay. Food, drinks, and restrooms were conveniently located. The scenery in the second half of the trip was stunning, and the view of the ocean from the rhino area was breathtaking, rivaling even some famous attractions abroad. I'll definitely be back!

Finally saw Xia Yuhe. It was summer vacation, so the flow of people was relatively large. I didn't finish visiting all of them because it was quite large and the weather was hot. Overall, the cost performance was high. I sent postcards, took photos of Xia Yuhe, and climbed Chaoran Tower. Because I was with my child, I took a walk and rest.
Daming Lake is really a good lake, it can be said to be the spiritual habitat of Jinan people. Walking here, there is a special atmosphere, the water scenery along the way is picturesque, there are many places to visit nearby, and the cultural history is full of charm. However, be sure to choose the time period and day, do a good job of sun protection, lightly dressed, stop and stop. When it is too hot, the experience is really bad. But anyway, it is worth it to visit here.

It's worth it. Because of limited energy, I didn't visit the whole city. I only visited the east district. But it was very good. I really liked the primate far away. It is worthy of being a national excellent demonstration. Next time I go back, I will visit the west district again. If you want to save energy, I recommend everyone to buy a park tour bus.
I was very satisfied. I took the South Gate Cable Car to the North Gate, then bought a shuttle bus after entering the park. The shuttle bus stopped at various stops to let visitors admire the animals. I walked to the South District to see the animals, and then took a bus directly to Xinghai Square. There was no queue for the cable car, the package ticket was much cheaper, the QR code was very convenient, and I even encountered a deer!

It's a great ancient city. The experience is very participatory. There are many performances in one day. The national show is very shocking. I feel that the performers are very serious. Even in the hot weather, the performances are very passionate and there is no perfunctory feeling. It is really the power of everyone to make a drawing into reality. It is worth coming to Linyi for this ancient city.
It's definitely worth a visit! It's too hot during the summer, so going at 4:00 p.m. is perfect. You can wear Hanfu and take photos first, then watch the National Show at 6:00 p.m., the Water Show, and the Langya Show at 8:00 p.m.—three large-scale performances all in one go, making the ticket price worthwhile!

It covers a large area, has many halls and many programs, which is quite tiring. There are many kinds of marine animals, and they seem to be well-maintained. It is recommended to optimize the connection between the venues. It will be better for children and the elderly if there are fewer detours. Come on.
I went there with my children. I walked around the underwater tunnel twice and watched the performances twice. Each performance was different. The actors were very dedicated and the animals were super cute. Although we waited in line for a long time, it was worth it. If you want to watch a performance, you must check the performance time and plan ahead.

Standing before the Qingdao Governor's Mansion, the red brick walls gleamed in the sunlight, while the pointed roofs and arched windows exemplified the rigor and refinement of German architecture. Pushing open the heavy wooden door, it felt like stepping into the folds of time: the marble floor reflected the carved columns, the bronze ornaments on the fireplace still retained the warmth of a century ago, and the wooden handrails of the spiral staircase were polished smooth by time.
In the exhibition hall, yellowed telegrams, old maps, and German furniture were quietly displayed, telling the story of a city steeped in diverse cultures. Gazing through the arched glass windows into the courtyard, the cedar trees remained lush, but the former bustle had been replaced by the tranquility of today.
The most captivating aspect was the interplay of details: Chinese cornices subtly blended into Western reliefs, and the breath of Qingdao's sea breeze seemed to permeate the texture of the masonry. Looking back upon leaving, the building resembled an open book, its pages imbued with the weight of history, while the footer held the secret code of Qingdao's inclusiveness.
Because it is close to Signal Hill, I also visited the German Governor's Building, which became a cool place in the hot summer. The total visit time was about an hour. I like German architecture very much. The old objects in the house are also very nice. Friends can come and take a look.
