#Laoshan Mountain Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Friends circle asked crazy is not Italy, but Qingdao
Qingdao's romance, half of it is related to the sea,
For this beach that is similar to the Amalfi Coast of Italy,
I specifically flew to Qingdao,
The towering mountains, the orderly red houses on the hillside,
The clear sea, the soft sand, and the people running and playing on the beach,
Plus the blue sky, the white clouds, the gentle wind,
This feeling is too healing.
-
📍:Laoshan District, Laoshan Road 109, Shazikou Square
Ⓜ️:Subway line 4⃣️ Shazikou station C exit walk about 20 minutes,
🎫:Free
⏰:It is recommended to come after four in the afternoon, especially when the sunset light shines on the colorful houses, it is very beautiful, it is not recommended to come in the morning or early in the morning, because it is in the direction of backlight.
📷:You need to use a long angle, because the beach and the red houses on the opposite side are too far apart, and the picture looks good when compressed with a telephoto lens.

How to describe Qingdao❓
I think it should be, there are mountains, sea, and freedom🆓
Some people go to the mountains, some people go to the sea🌊
Red tiles, green trees, blue sea and blue sky🏠
Qingdao will put a perfect end to your trip.

Keep the following 2 days and 1 night itinerary❗

Eight Great Passes→Rizhao Road→Jiangsu Road Church →Juxian Road →Zhanqiao Seaside Bathing Beach
Day 2️⃣ Less people, niche and essence tour

【How to play❓】
❶The autumn scenery of the Eight Great Passes is orange and green, and the ginkgo and maple leaves are already the best viewing period~There is also the road to the second seaside bathing beach, which can go directly to the seaside
❷Rizhao Road, Juxian Road, less people and beautiful ginkgo, you must know, hurry up and take pictures while there are fewer people
❸Jiangsu Road Church, red tiles with ginkgo, this is a unique mark of Qingdao
❹If you have a drone, fly to the sky to take pictures of the city, the red-tiled white-walled houses will make you feel like you are in a foreign country

This is one of the best mountain resorts in China. It's big and beautiful and offers spectacular sea views from the top.
The best thing is that you can climb or take the cable car up and down. The choice is yours. It takes a whole day trip but it also adds to the enjoyment of a Qingdao holiday.
Note: Laoshan mountain is not too far from Shi Lao Ren beach; a beautiful stretch of sand and sea that can be combined with a visit to Lao Shan mountain.

Qingming Festival is coming up! Wondering where you can go for a 3-day trip that won’t cost an arm and a leg? Look no further than Qingdao.
Only a short flight away from Shanghai, Qingdao is a city that was briefly occupied by the Germans in the 1890s. Due to the German occupation, this city is now famous for 2 things - its unique architecture in the old city center and Tsingtao beer!
While it might not seem like 3 days is much time to get anything accomplished, you can actually see a lot in Qingdao.
You can hike Laoshan and to be rewarded with stunning mountain views. The Tsingtao factory is also a must-visit to learn about the history of one of China’s most popular beers. In your down time you can wander the cobblestone streets of the old city center and marvel at the German architecture.

I took a bus to reach the mountainside and then I took the cable car to go up the mountain. It was wonderful. The mountains were foggy and the tourists seemed to walk in a fairyland! Occasionally risking looking down into the abyss made my heart pound. After a while, I finally reached the top of the mountain and was relieved. On three sides of the mountain you can see the sea. The mountain road is like a green belt that is wrapped around the side of the mountain. Looking up to the very top, the clouds linger around and the green trees look very lush. The visitors on the pavilions on other mountains are also enjoying the view. The scenery is beautiful!
The cruise ship in the Lushan Mountain Scenic Area is a brand new high-speed cruise ship. The cruise ship is divided into upper and lower floors. The lower level is a comfortable soft bag. The fully enclosed cabin allows visitors to enjoy the view of the sea through the wide porthole. The upper level is an open deck, proud of the bow, and winds up.
I seem to have arrived at the Amalfi Coast in Italy!

After 10 visits to Laoshan, I've summarized a guide for a relaxing weekend over two days and one night
Welcome to the post-95s workers' guide to a relaxing weekend in Laoshan over two days and one night 📃 SubwayⓂ️➕Bus🚘 edition (self-driving edition coming next)
A beautiful day starts with flower viewing 🌸 Hanhan has organized a subway Line 11 flower viewing guide overnight to share with everyone‼️
1⃣ Miaoshi Station, the cherry blossoms all over the mountains paired with the green tea fields are really beautiful, and you can also take pictures of the subway and cherry blossoms in the same frame, as if you've stepped into the world of Miyazaki Hayao
2⃣ Beijiushui Station, just a ten-minute walk away is the Laoshan Cherry Valley, full of pink cherry blossoms that are really healing
Actually, Laoshan in spring is really beautiful, with scenery all along the way. If you're not in a hurry, you can take the 639 bus for a round trip, Nanling Village, Sishui, Wole Community, Wolong, and Dahe East are all worth seeing, but I won't list them all here
Stay a night in Laoshan, we stayed at the Shanxiangsuji·7Yunhai Seaview B&B🏞, truly waking up in the sea 🌊 Every room in the B&B has a sea view, quietly lying in bed 🛏 listening to the sound of the sea, and you can see the sunrise over the sea 🌅 when you get up early. At low tide, you can go directly to the beach 🏖 to catch the sea, who understands this kind of relaxation!!! A week's fatigue can be swept away, and there's also a self-operated coffee shop ☕️ and restaurant 🍠 with good taste, and you can even soak in a private bath at night to relax
Right outside the B&B is the most beautiful Laoshan scenic bus 🚍 Route 618 station (Yangkou-Yakou) back and forth for only 0.8r💰 (locals with a bus card can transfer for free within one hour, and the air-conditioned fare in summer is 2r💰) The one-way trip is 13.5 kilometers, with a total of 21 stops, and takes about 35 minutes to drive. Along the way, you will pass through villages such as Diaolongzui, Huayan Temple, Huangshan Village, and Qingshan Village, with red tiles and green trees 🏡 and the blue sea and sky 🏝 it's really beautiful no matter how you take pictures 📸
⚠️The weather is really important when traveling to Laoshan!!! You can't take good photos on cloudy or rainy days, so it's important to plan well
Take my advice! Spend a few days in this small town during the May Day holiday

Half a Qingdao local sharing some practical travel tips

⚫️ Practical tips for solo travel
✈️ Jiaodong International Airport is far away, you can take the 🚇, more than an hour to the city center
🚄 The main train stations in the city are Qingdao Station (most convenient), Qingdao North Station, and Qingdao West Station is in Huangdao
🚇 The city mainly relies on the subway (download "Qingdao Metro") and ride-hailing services, basically, the subway can reach the scenic spots, it is recommended not to drive, it's hard to park
🍽️ For seafood, locals buy it at the market and then go to a restaurant or izakaya to have it processed
-

Romantic spring is the perfect season for flower viewing, mountain climbing, and outdoor activities
📍Detailed address: The Yangkou Scenic Area in Qingdao is located in Wanggezhuang Street, Laoshan District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province.
🕙Business hours:
The opening hours are from 8:00 to 16:00
The tour route in Yangkou is relatively simple, with the option to walk up the mountain or take the cable car. In the misty haze of the scenic area, peaks rise steeply, competing in beauty. Hidden among the green bamboo and pine trees is the "Palace above the Sea" - Taiping Palace, and the Guandi Temple nestled among the pine and chinquapin trees, facing the stream in front and surrounded by green bamboo. Under the cliffs and precipices, there are many strange rocks and caves, including the Bailong Cave, which contains inscriptions of poems by the famous Yuan Dynasty Taoist Qiu Chuji; the Youlong Cave, where Taoists of past dynasties practiced; and the Baiyun Cave, formed by four giant rocks named after the 'Azure Dragon', 'White Tiger', 'Vermilion Bird', and 'Black Tortoise'.
If you choose to take the cable car up the mountain, after getting off, you can go up the mountain through the Mitiandong Cave, which is pitch-dark inside, so dark that you can't see your fingers, and in the narrowest part, only one person can pass through. Visitors who are afraid of the dark can choose to climb to the top via the mountain trail, which takes a bit more time, but the scenery along the way is also worth appreciating.
The following transportation methods are available for the Yangkou Scenic Area in Laoshan:
- Bus: Take bus 383, or transfer to bus 620/926 from Metro Line 11.
- Self-driving/Taxi: You can directly reach the scenic area.
👍Most recommended:
The Yangkou Scenic Area in Qingdao has the following attractions:
- Shouzi Peak: There are 100 different fonts of the character for 'longevity', which is quite spectacular.
- Old Man Stone: A huge rock resembling an old man, one of the iconic attractions of the scenic area.
- Mitiandong Cave: The cave is pitch-dark, so dark that you can't see your fingers, and in the narrowest part, only one person can pass through.
- Cable Car: Riding the cable car offers a distant view of the sea and sky blending as one, with pointed red roofs dotted along the coastline, presenting a unique scenery.
In addition, there are other attractions such as Xiantao Peak and Shoushan Stone in the scenic area.

Stop asking, it's really Qingdao! A homestay just 10 meters away from the sea at Laoshan, not abroad!!!
💗 Lying in bed watching the sunrise over the sea
Qingdao's seaside homestays never disappoint me
Gorgeous private sea area, 270-degree sea view terrace, by the Laoshan seaside
🌟Highlights:
1⃣️ What's it like to wake up on the sea? The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer an amazing sea view, unobstructed. Waking up in the morning to face the sea view first thing, enjoying the sunrise, the terrace is super large, with a 270-degree sea view, and the view is very good. The houses in this sea area look ordinary from the outside, but there is such a beautiful homestay hidden in the corner. Once you enter the homestay, you're attracted by the sea view.

🌟 Experience the joy of outdoor self-service barbecue in the courtyard, paired with an in-house projector and barbecue beer, happiness is instantly doubled.
🌟 There is also a coffee shop available, where you can sip coffee while reading a good book, enjoying a leisurely afternoon.
🌟 Surprisingly, there is also a sea-fishing service led by local fishermen provided by the B&B, where you can steam fresh seafood by hand, fully immersing yourself in the joy of the mountains and fields.
🌟 The highlight here is undoubtedly the private hot spring in the courtyard.
🌟 With strong privacy, the natural spring water is rich in various minerals, nourishing the skin and beauty, making it a good choice for the autumn and winter seasons.
🌟 The B&B also thoughtfully prepares special snacks and specially formulated drinks, which you can enjoy while soaking, full of a sense of ceremony.

Embarking on an adventure to Qingdao, China with my friends was an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, exploration, and cultural immersion. From strolling along the picturesque coastline of Qingdao's famed beaches to indulging in delicious seafood at local eateries, every moment was filled with excitement. We marveled at the historic architecture of the Tsingtao Brewery, where we sampled the city's renowned beer and learned about its brewing process. Exploring the charming streets of Old Town, we were captivated by the blend of traditional Chinese culture and colonial influences. Our evenings were spent savoring delectable street food and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of Qingdao's bustling night markets. Whether it was hiking to the summit of Laoshan Mountain for panoramic views or simply enjoying each other's company, our trip to Qingdao was an enriching experience that deepened our friendships and left us with cherished memories to last a lifetime.
Here in Qingdao, there's a kind of Chill that feels like it's not in China
It's like being on a cruise ship, so unrealistically beautiful 😭
If you come to Qingdao, for a check-in style trip go to Shinan, but if you're purely on vacation, I suggest heading straight to Laoshan. The scenery is beautiful, and there are so few people!
Especially Yangkou, a fairy-tale vacation spot nestled between mountains and water~
You can watch the sunset, sunrise, and even go sea fishing 🐟, it's just too chill 🥂

Qingdao Laoshan - A breathtakingly beautiful place you'll want to visit again
Qingdao Laoshan, mountains and sea, all in one go.
It's really worth the trip. I came during the off-season. The homestay is not very expensive. But the beauty here is tear-jerking.
🌟Highlights:
Laoshan has mountains, sea, fishing villages, and buildings. Only what you can't imagine. It's very beautiful here, the sky in autumn and winter is very blue, and the photos are very good.
This time I stayed at the deepest hotel, the Kangaroo Hotel in Qingdao. It's really in the mountains. Our friend's father drove us there at night, we drove a section, and walked for a while. The hotel's cat is very cute.
🧳Preparation before departure:
You must drive to Laoshan. Or it's best to contact the homestay for transportation. You can't handle the transportation here on your own.
❤Reason for recommendation:
It's too beautiful here in all four seasons, living in the deep mountains to watch the sunrise, the sea, and the fishing village. You must come once in your life.
⏳Play time:
It is recommended to spend at least three days and two nights, and fully experience the slow pace of time on the second day.
Always try to visit Qingdao before the seagulls fly away
The 'winter limited' is not only the snow in the north, but also the seagulls in Qingdao.
