[2025 Qingdao Attraction] Travel Guide for Mountain Jiushui Tourist Area (Updated Jul)

Friends! I just got back from Qingdao and can't wait to share with you! Although I was worried after being misled by my friends' posts, this family trip was truly amazing! 👶🏻💖 ⚠ First, the "downsides": The cherry blossom season was so crowded that the subway had to limit passenger flow (but the special cherry blossom train was breathtakingly beautiful!). Climbing Laoshan Mountain was tiring (but seeing the azaleas all over the mountain on the way down was instantly healing!). The snacks at the scenic spots were pricey (bringing your own snacks is the wise choice!). But compared to the beautiful scenery, these are nothing! 🔥 ✨【Must-visit itinerary with kids】✨ Day 1⃣ Travel through a fairy tale on the subway's cherry blossom train Take Line 11 from DaLao Station to Bei Jiu Shui, the train windows are like moving picture frames! The kids were glued to the window counting cherry blossom trees 🌳, and when we arrived, we went straight to Cherry Valley to pick cherries and experience "cherry blossom freedom"! (Secret tip: Enjoying the cherry blossoms for free from the subway is much better than buying tickets!) Day 2⃣ A day trip through ancient times In the morning, we took Hanfu photos at Baihua Park, and the kids, dressed in rented Hanfu, chased butterflies 🦋. In the afternoon, we found handmade hairpins at the Shi Mei An Plum Blossom Market, and in the evening, we watched the jade orchid night lights at Taiqing Palace. A Taoist priest even gave us a safety amulet! 🎎 Day 3⃣ Mountain and sea adventure mode Wear non-slip shoes for the Ju Feng Azalea Slope! The kids walked the whole way themselves and were so excited to see the azaleas covering the mountain that they shouted, "It's like a rainbow has fallen down"! 🌈 We went straight down to Yangkou Beach and collected shells until sunset 🌅. 🌟【Mom's secret tips】🌟 ✅ Wear light-colored matching outfits + straw bags, and you'll be the center of attention wherever you go. ✅ Rush to Zhongshan Park's Cherry Blossom Avenue at 8 am to capture the perfect shot. ✅ The Laoshan scenic bus is super convenient, and the drivers tell jokes. ✅ Must-try: Piduziyuan tofu pudding, Yingkou Road Seafood Market (transparent processing fees). ⚠ Avoid these pitfalls: ❌ Don't buy overpriced flower garlands at the scenic spot entrance; you can get 3 for 10 yuan at the night market. ❌ The jade orchid blooming period at Taiqing Palace is long, so no need to rush. ❌ You can bargain at the Cherry Valley farmhouse restaurants in Laoshan, don't be ripped off. Looking at the 3000+ photos on my phone now, I can't help but smile! Qingdao is truly an underrated treasure for families. The romance of the mountains, sea, and city is so captivating that even the kids learned to say, "Facing the sea, with spring blossoms warm" ～🌊🌸

How long has it been since I've had a valley with clean mountain air! . . . #daytrip #memorabletrip #goodatmosphere #valley #valleywaterplay #safetravel

At 4 a.m., we ventured into Mount Lao in darkness. When the first golden light pierced the mist, the 1,132-meter-high Jufeng Peak suddenly transformed into a golden island. As the cable car ascended, the Yellow Sea beneath our feet resembled crumpled blue silk, dotted with tiny fishing boats bobbing on the waves. For the best sunrise, head to Xiantian Bridge and watch the sun leap from the summit of Lingqi Peak, instantly dyeing the sea of clouds a vibrant orange—like fizzy soda. This awe-inspiring moment, where heaven and earth seem to fill your vision, is 100 times more breathtaking than any phone wallpaper. ☁️ A Walk Through Fairyland: Stumbling Upon Mount Lao’s Taoist Secrets The mountain trail connects the Eight Trigram Gates, each a living ink-painting. The "Natural Stele" at Li Gate looks like a celestial tome split by a giant axe, with moss weaving green webs between ancient carvings. At Dui Gate, Danlu Peak carries a faint herbal fragrance, as if Zhang Sanfeng’s shadow still lingers, tending his alchemy furnace. The most magical moment comes at Kan Gate, where clouds surge from the rocks, wrapping you in a cotton-candy world of mist—pure Mount Lao mysticism. 🚶 Adrenaline Rush for Trailblazers: Exploring Mount Lao’s "Dragon’s Teeth" Don’t miss the heart-pounding challenge of "Thread of Sky"! Squeeze through the 50cm-wide crevice with boulders looming overhead, fingertips brushing millennia-old moisture on the rock walls. After summiting, take the wild path to Qiannü Peak, where pine needles cushion your steps and sudden squirrel encounters startle you—only to turn a corner and find wild azaleas exploding into pink waterfalls along the cliffs. *This* is the soul of Mount Lao hiking! 🌸🍃🍂❄️ Seasonal Surprise Box: Every Visit Feels Like Unboxing a New Map • **Late Spring**: The violet sea of Mount Lao’s Peony Slope stretches to the horizon. Stand in a white dress amid the blossoms, and the wind will wrap you in a rainbow. • **Midsummer**: After thunderstorms, the "Cloud Sea" emerges. Watch from Star-Gazing Pavilion as clouds cascade like waterfalls—more dramatic than fantasy-movie CGI. • **Autumn**: The Nine Waterfalls Valley ignites with maple leaves. Ride the cable car as if skimming a river of fire. • **Winter**: Jufeng Peak becomes an ice castle, rime sculpting pine branches into crystal coral. Snow crunches underfoot with each step. 📌 Local’s Cheat Sheet: Mount Lao Beyond the Crowds 1. **Stealth Route**: Take Metro Line 4 to Dahedong Station, then a 10-minute taxi to the scenic entrance—20 minutes faster than shuttle buses. 2. **Outfit Hack**: Wear mustard-yellow or royal-blue jackets for photos that pop against the green peaks and blue sea. Pack a windbreaker—summit gusts cut through hoodies. 3. **Flavor Quest**: Post-hike, rush to Wanggezhuang for steamed buns stuffed with braised pork (toe-curlingly delicious!). At Shazikou Pier, buy fresh mackerel for pan-seared fillets. 4. **Hidden Gem**: Join Wednesday/Saturday night hikes to Tianyuan Peak. Lie under the Milky Way arching over the Yellow Sea—bring a foldable seat and hot cocoa. When city lights drown the stars, come to Mount Lao—where winds carry the wildness of mountains and sea, stones whisper ancient tales, and every breath is laced with herbal freshness. Before the stele of "First Mountain Over the Sea," you’ll realize true freedom is tossing yourself into Mount Lao’s embrace… to become an untamed cloud. —Mount Lao Scenic Area

Spring in Qingdao is a dream woven with cherry blossoms. The 550,000 cherry trees in Beizhai, Laoshan, are draped in a pink and white veil, transforming the green mountains and blue waters into a flowing spring panorama. The 2025 Qingdao Cherry Blossom Festival has begun, so hop on the Blossom Train or the Cherry Blossom Bus and enter this fairytale world. I. Route Recommendations: Immerse yourself in the sea of blossoms, where every step is a scenic view. 1. Blossom Train: Journey through a pink dimension. The Blue Valley Express subway line, known as the "most beautiful subway line," travels through cherry blossom seas on its elevated sections, turning the train windows into natural frames. We recommend taking Subway Line 11 to Beijiushui Station. Along the route from Beizhai to Miaoshi, the hillsides are covered with thousands of acres of cherry blossoms, resembling a surging sea of pink and white clouds. As the train passes by, it's like traveling through a painting. Photography Tip: Set your shutter speed to 1/1000 of a second to capture the train and the sea of blossoms together. Alternatively, during the evening, use a telephoto lens to record the silhouette of the train passing through the sunset glow. 2. Hiking through hidden gems: Discover the poetry of the mountains and fields. Da Lao Cherry Valley: Cherry blossoms cover the mountains and fields like pink and white clouds. From the viewing platform at the summit, you can overlook the breathtaking intersection of the subway and the sea of blossoms. The peak blooming period here is expected to last until the end of this week. When the wind blows and petals fall, it resembles the ethereal realm of Qing Qiu from "Eternal Love." Sishui Secret Realm: Take Bus No. 639 to Sishui Station. Here, century-old cherry trees intertwine with wild apricot blossoms, reflecting in the crystal-clear reservoir, creating a hidden paradise. With fewer tourists, this spot is perfect for enjoying the tranquility of nature. 3. Cultural immersion: A blend of ancient and modern romance. Beizhai has a dedicated immersive cultural experience zone where you can stroll through the sea of blossoms in Hanfu, accompanied by the sounds of the guqin and poetry recitations. Under the cherry blossom trees, with a simple robe and an oil-paper umbrella, capture a poetic moment that transcends time. II. Activities: Unlock multiple layers of spring romance. 1. Double-decker bus: A 360° panoramic view of the blossoms. The nation's first cherry blossom double-decker bus travels through the vast flower fields, offering an unobstructed view from the top-level panoramic sunroof. With your bus ticket, you can redeem promo codes at select merchants, allowing you to enjoy Laoshan tea and spring delicacies while admiring the blossoms—a perfect combination of value and romance. 2. Coffee market: Enjoy a slow afternoon among the blossoms. Under the cherry blossom trees, the aroma of coffee mingles with the melodies of folk music. We recommend trying the "Shiji Niangniang" scavenger hunt. Collect all the stamps to redeem limited-edition cultural and creative gifts. In the afternoon, relax on a swing with a freshly brewed coffee, letting the petals fall on your shoulders. 3. Family fun: Explore the Elf Garden. Take your children to the "Elf Garden" to pick mushrooms under the trees, swing on cherry blossom swings, or participate in activities like plant rubbing and drumming games. As the mountain breeze blows, laughter and floral fragrance fill the air. III. Spring flavors: Savory delights from the mountains. At Beizhai's "Baiyeshengxiang" market, you can savor the local delicacies of Laoshan and experience the freshness of spring: Must-try dishes: The refreshing seaweed jelly, the rich Laoshan mushroom stewed chicken, and the sweet locust flower cake. Wash it all down with a bottle of locally recommended "Baihuashescao Water" for a unique taste experience. Souvenir recommendations: Local fruit wines, Laoshan green tea, and handcrafted items from heritage workshops—take the essence of Beizhai spring home with you. IV. Practical tips: A guide for a worry-free spring trip. Transportation: Take Subway Line 11 to Beijiushui Station/Beizhai Station/World Horticultural Expo Garden Station. Redeem coupons with your same-day subway ticket. Hello Bikes are available within the scenic area for self-guided exploration of less-traveled flower paths. Bloom forecast: The peak blooming period is expected to last until the end of this week. Strong winds can cause the blossoms to fall, so it's best to visit early. Convenient services: Beijiushui Station has a "Qingfeng Nuanxing" service desk providing power banks, first-aid kits, cherry blossom stickers, and more. The painted corridor is a must-visit photo spot. "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may." The romance of Beizhai continues from the cherry blossom sea to the ripening of cherries in May. While the spring scenery is at its best, follow the fragrance of flowers and the call of poetry to your spring rendezvous! 🌸

Time has passed, and the deceased are gone, but the divine tree is still in front of us. No more words, now is the best time!

|Camping at Beijiushui Creek in Laoshan. I went to the mountains to breathe oxygen recently. There are fewer streams in the place we went to recently. It may be because there is less rain in Qingdao recently. However, it is really enjoyable to put the watermelon drink in it to cool it down before drinking it. If you can't make a fire, you can bring some cooked food and fruits from home to eat. There are more mosquitoes in the mountains. Finally, you must pick up the garbage and take it away. ⛺ Address: Navigation Laoshan District Qingdao Hesu. Linxi Holiday Villa, go down and there is a bridge to see the place
