Introduction Beachcombing in Qingdao

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Beachcombing in Qingdao is a leisure activity that is popular among local residents and tourists. It combines the fun of exploring nature, experiencing fishing and harvesting seafood. The best time to beachcombing is usually at low tide, when the sea water recedes and the mudflats and reefs are exposed to the water, making it easier for people to find and pick up seafood.

In Qingdao, the best time to beachcombing may vary depending on the season and specific location, but generally speaking, the afternoon to evening every day is the ideal time to beachcombing. In addition, high tide days such as the first, second, fifteenth and sixteenth day of the lunar calendar are also good times to beachcombing, because at this time the sea water recedes further and the exposed mudflat area is larger. 

Beachcombing is not only a leisure activity, but also a way to get close to nature and experience the fun of fishing. In the process of beachcombing, you can feel the vastness and mystery of the sea and experience the fun of finding and picking up seafood. At the same time, beachcombing can also allow you to harvest fresh seafood ingredients, adding a gift from the sea to your dining table.

Qingdao Hotel

In Qingdao! I can't believe I checked into a foreign-style house from 1929 and found a particularly charming guesthouse. I was instantly attracted by the glass windows, the century-old building, combined with modern decoration and design, is exceptionally charming~ The accommodation experience is great, every spot is a scene, and I want to record every beautiful moment. The surrounding environment is also very nice, not far from the sea, highly recommended!!! 【About Transportation】 This villa dates back to 1929 and is located on a hillside△, surrounded by both residential and scenic areas, only a 5-minute walk from Xiaoyushan. Following Jin Kou Road, you can check in along Daxue Road, Yushan Road, Xiaoyushan, overlooking the cityscape and the coastline of the No.1 Bathing Beach. 【About the Room】 It shares a yard with the popular coffee shop Hi Live, which has an American farm holiday style with many elements of the sea. It's really exquisite, enough to see the owner's dedication. Every spot can take beautiful photosi, and there's even an outdoor movie at night. Due to the humid air in Qingdao, a dehumidifier is also provided, and goodnight fruit is served at night. The attention to detail is very good. Mineral water, mosquito repellent cream, steam eye masks, etc. can all be collected at the front desk. The rooms are not very big, but there are several large windows tian. Each window offers a different view. Looking out at the red tiles, green trees, and the lush branches swaying in the sunlight, connecting to the room Wu Ta Lao Yang Fang 1929 Hotel (Qingdao Underwater World Store)

Qingdao, you're so delicious!!!

Qingdao, you're so delicious!!!

During the National Day holiday, I strolled around the quaint Jimo Ancient City, feeling the blend of history and modernity. The air was filled with the tempting aroma of barbecue, and the atmosphere was full of the hustle and bustle of life. It was as if I had traveled back in time to a bustling old street. 🥩Beef skewers, each one was huge, sizzling with oil, and the golden crispy skin was delicious. 🦆The dry pot duck head was crispy and delicious, each bite was full of rich aroma, and there was also dry fried spicy chicken, which was spicy and delicious. 🍻A few bottles of chilled Qingdao beer were simply one of the great pleasures of life. 🍚Their must-order beef rice was also amazing! The beef was minced just right, the soup was rich, and each bite was full of happiness. 🍢There was also grilled pork belly, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and was oily but not greasy. All the dishes were of high quality, and there were no disappointments at all!!!
