Tsingtao Beer Museum A understands the history of Tsingtao Beer for 100 years, Hall B introduces the beer production process in detail, free tasting fresh raw pulp and pure raw beer, it is worth a visit
I feel that if I purely want to understand the history and production process of beer and visit the workshop, it is recommended (or I see that some tourists go to play in the form of script killing, and I feel that the fun will be stronger) As for if I go to 🍺 (I feel that there is more marketing on 🍠, The taste is actually average. There is no locals in the barbecue restaurant downstairs in the residential building. 🍻 is good, and the boss said that Qingdao people do not drink the wine here. Try it yourself.

The scenery of Yangkou is nice, especially the Mitian Cave, which is worth climbing. It is not tiring. It is very unique to walk through the boulders. It is a pity that it was foggy today and I could not see the distant view after reaching Tianyuan. I went down the stairs all the way down, and my knees were a little shaky. With limited time, I took the downward cable car, which was quite affordable and cheaper than other places.
Arrive at Dahedong Tourist Service Center at 9:30 in the morning, change to a tourist bus and get off at Taiqing Palace Square, then buy tickets for Taiqing Palace on site. It is recommended to hire a tour guide for 100 yuan to explain Taiqing Palace. The scenic area is good overall, and I have a deeper understanding of Taoism. The spectacular bronze statue of Laozi, ancient trees, buildings, and characters are introduced in detail. About an hour and a half later, take a bus to the entrance of Taiqing Palace Square to the Taiqing Palace cableway, take the cableway for 15 minutes to the halfway point of the mountain, and then walk nearly 650 meters to Mingxia Cave. From Mingxia Cave, go down the mountain along the west line, along the way to Shangqing Palace and the waterfall, and finally to the tourist service center, and leave the scenic area at about 3:30 in the afternoon.

The aquarium is known for its immersive underwater landscape and popular science experience. The coral garden and jellyfish secret exhibition area are like a future laboratory, with smart performances such as dolphins and beluga whales to show the charm of marine life. Tianjin National Oceanic Museum is a long-term interactive technology, VR deep sea exploration, polar simulation and other education, seaside architecture and environmental protection classrooms add humanistic care. Both museums integrate ecological protection into the tour, which is an ideal choice for parent-child research and ocean exploration.
Especially cute little animals, super super recommended to come here, especially special, especially fun, small animals are especially special, especially cute, and the special cool and hot atmosphere in the venue is particularly good, the performance of the theater is also particularly special and beautiful, The Ferris wheel is also very fun

I don't know which year this is. In fact, after coming over, it feels normal. There are not many things to see. At the beginning, I brushed it in Douyin. I had a lot of expectations. After I came, I was slightly disappointed.
613-630 There are graduation season activities, students have discounts for ticket purchases, mainly 85 yuan, and you can also experience the old Qingdao round-trip route, Father's Day activities, and the male god ticket is postponed to June 30. In addition to ticket discounts, there are many interactive activities. The graduation season punches in, super filming, interactive and courteous,

We were the first to arrive at the park on Wednesday morning in mid-June when it opened at 9am. There were no other tourists and it felt like we had the whole park to ourselves. There were free photo-taking and postcard-making services on the first floor. You can go to the 81st floor to see the finished photos and combine them with the six famous sights of Qingdao. Six photos cost 150 yuan. You can see Qingdao from 360 degrees around the top floor. There is an emotional exhibition on the 80th floor, divided into 10 scenes, with some interactive experiences. Not many people, so it's ok.
A great spot to take in the full panoramic view of Qingdao, especially the city’s iconic landmarks. With just one ticket and no time limit, you can relax at the coffee stand, browse for your favorite souvenirs, or explore the informational displays along the walls. While there aren’t many activities, spending 1–2 hours here is more than enough to enjoy the experience.

The weather was very good in mid-June. I went to take the cable car at around 6pm. The cable car has three stations, Taipingshan Station is the highest point, and the full ticket includes four sections of cable cars. From Zhongshan Park Station to Taipingshan Station, you can see red tiles and green trees, and from Taipingshan Station to Zhanshan Temple Station, you can see high-rise buildings. The sunset began at 7pm, and I watched the sun fall from the clouds. At 7:10pm, the sun set on the horizon, which was very beautiful.
It's really great!! I thought about taking photos with my friends a month ago! I was really happy to take photos of my life!! The scenery is also very high. We took photos of the city's high-rise buildings.
There are blue sky and white clouds, high-rise buildings, flowers, plants and trees.
Life always jumps from moment to moment, leaving beautiful moments and memories! 🥺🥺🥺🥹

The Olympic Sailing Center in the South District of Qingdao is worth taking time to visit. The experience is very good. It takes at least one or two hours to visit. This is the sailing venue of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. A large number of yachts are moored. It is recommended.
Qingdao Haier Intercontinental Hotel is a five-star hotel built for the water sports competition of the 2008 Olympic Games. At that time, it was extremely luxurious and known as a "six-star hotel". Although it has been a little longer, it is still vigorous under the standardized management of InterContinental Group. The style is still the same. First of all, the location is very superior. The large glass window of the room is the famous Olympic Sailing Base. It is a few minutes away from the lighthouse of Lover Dam and the red iconic sculptures of May Fourth Square. There is no hotel in Qingdao that can exceed here. The breakfast is also very rich, Qingdao shrimp, Qingdao special sweet foam here, West Point is also very good. The box on the second floor is spacious and comfortable, the service is thoughtful, the dishes are fresh, and the banquet guests are very face.

This is the 16th Fantawild Park I have visited with my daughter. The park is not very big, but there were a lot of people during the May Day holiday. Many projects required long queues, but the Monkey King project resumed and the performance was pretty good. The evening fireworks show didn't last long, the concert was also short, and the parade was pretty good.
I bought a discounted package for one adult and one child during Children's Day, which was super affordable. The key point is that Qingdao is neither cold nor hot at this time, and the weather is very good. I downloaded the Fantawild Travel APP in advance, studied the itinerary projects I wanted to play, and after entering the park early in the morning, I waited for the time shown on the app and arranged the order of play reasonably. After a whole day, I successfully checked in all the indoor projects ✌️ (the time for flying over the limit was a bit long, but the other projects were okay and the time was completely acceptable). There was also a parade of floats and a fireworks show in the evening🎇, which was a super good experience. The children loved it very much👍👍
PS: I was busy playing and had basically no time to take pictures of the projects😂

Really really good, just arrived in Qingdao to stay, I don't know what to do, I signed up to participate when I saw a sea. Almost missed the boat, luck was not bad. Just in time for the sunset Ba Shi is very. The captain is very funny
This time in Qingdao, the children's favorite is the sailing boat to sea, the sailor is very funny, chatting throughout the whole process, and let the children at the helm once did a small sailor! I took a lot of good-looking photos, and the sea breeze was very interesting. If you have the opportunity to come to Qingdao again, you will continue to experience it.
