Badaguan, located east of Huiquan in Shinan District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, on the southern slope of Taiping Mountain, was built in the 1930s and covers an area of over 70 hectares. It's called "Badaguan" because there are eight roads (now ten) along the route, named after a famous pass on the ancient Great Wall of China. It's a renowned villa complex, known as the "Museum of International Architecture." Its beautiful scenery and pleasant environment make it a popular tourist attraction and a favorite destination for tourists.
Badaguan is also a must-see attraction in Qingdao. It’s nice to take a walk here and look at the buildings and trees when the weather is good. It’s also very close to the second bathing beach, so it’s nice to check in together.

Shimenfang has a long history and profound cultural heritage. As early as the Shang Dynasty, people admired this place. The Panggong Temple in the scenic area has a history of more than 3,000 years. It was built to commemorate the tomb of Pang Boling, the king of the Shang Dynasty. There are more than 70 cliff statues from the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, which are precious historical relics and provide valuable information for the study of ancient Chinese history and the social background of the Tang Dynasty.
🎢Entertainment projects:
In addition to beautiful scenery and history, Shimenfang also has many fun entertainment projects!
The roller coaster lets you feel the thrill of riding the wind and receive your own purple passion and romance;
The 3,000-square-meter go-kart track has two large-turnaround cool tracks, allowing you to enjoy speed and passion;
The colorful slide with a total length of more than 120 meters allows you to slide down from a high altitude and enjoy the pleasure brought by the gravity drop;
There is also a high-altitude glass drift with a total length of about 3,333 meters, with a 360-degree transparent corner. Adults and children can play, and while feeling the wind and lightning, they can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains.
There are too many things I want to say. First, the cultural landscape, there are cliff carvings, stone statues, and the eight major scenes of Linqu "Pianyi Shimen Evening Glow Remnant", which I will not mention due to space limitations. There are many celebrity stone carvings. Second, the natural landscape, lush vegetation, gurgling streams, especially many small trees on the cliffs, twisted and circling, very interesting. The hiking trails are newly renovated and convenient for walking. The most important thing is the natural oxygen bar.

Inside the scenic area, there's a 4,700-year-old ginkgo tree that's well worth a look. When I arrived, the area wasn't crowded, and some parts were still undergoing renovations. I felt a bit tired before completing the entire tour, so I left. I bought my tickets on Ctrip; China Mobile users get a huge discount!
👉Fulai Mountain Scenic Area is formed by Feilai Peak, Fulai Peak and Folai Peak. The three peaks are connected in an arch and look like a sleeping dragon, with a unique and elegant charm. The scenic area integrates sightseeing, dining, entertainment, shopping, fitness, ancient geological relics, and ancient cultural holy places. There are eight views, twelve scenes, three springs, and four gardens in the scenic area. There are tall bamboos and strange trees, lush valleys, rugged rocks, and gurgling streams.
The main attractions include the thousand-year-old Dinglin Temple, the former residence of Liu Xie, the earliest literary critic in my country; the No. 1 Ginkgo Tree in the World, which is nearly 4,000 years old and can be called a living fossil in the biological world; the Sutra Building, where Liu Xie hid himself to study sutras and store books; the Three Religions Temple, the only Three Religions Temple in Shandong Province; the thousand-year-old Chaoyang Temple, where it is said that the Taoist master Zhang Sanfeng once made elixirs and preached; the Chinese Roots Museum, which exhibits more than 50 root carvings represented by the 8,000-year-old Tan Root King, which is listed in the Guinness World Records; the scenic area also has the largest outdoor statue group of 500 Arhats in the country, and the natural animal area, which grandly launches large-scale special animal performances such as tiger riding and lion taming, as well as many participatory projects such as alpine grass sliding and fruit picking.

The mouth of the Yellow River in Dongying is a unique site in China, showcasing the spectacular "Yellow-Blue Intersection." Visiting in the early morning, when the light is soft, is recommended for capturing the dividing line where the river meets the sea. Enjoy a sightseeing boat trip into the wetlands, encountering flocks of migratory birds and the wild beauty of reed marshes. Don't forget to sample the delicious local Yellow River Estuary hairy crab! The scenic area is quite large, so plan to allow 3-4 hours for your visit. The red carpet of color is at its most stunning in autumn.
The scenic area is large and clean, but generally enjoyable. I wanted to see the mandarin duck hot pot, but the weather wasn't good, so the view wasn't very good. A drone would have been much better for a bird's-eye view. I recommend bringing binoculars, as there are plenty of birds to see, but there aren't many places to explore.

The performers were incredibly hardworking and impressive! 👍 It was a hot day, and there was air conditioning inside. Tickets for three people were over 190 yuan on Ctrip. Scalpers inside the park were 50 yuan per ticket, and Douyin was also cheaper. I paid more, but the experience was worth it. Go early in the morning to choose your seat; the front row is amazing! The F3 I chose had a cable to block it, but the E was even better. The clown was adorable, but it was a bit pricey at 60 yuan, which was worth the price per person...
Rizhao Seaside Park is located in Rizhao City, Shandong Province. It is a scenic seaside leisure resort. The park is shaded by trees, the beach stretches, and the waves gently hit the shore, attracting many tourists to come and play. You can enjoy the sunrise in the morning and feel the sea breeze in the evening. The park also has walking trails, amusement facilities and an observation deck, which is suitable for family outings and walking and relaxing. The scenery here varies in each season, making it a good place for citizens and tourists to get close to nature.

Mount Laoshan, located in Laoshan District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, is a famous tourist mountain in China and the highest peak on the Chinese coastline, earning it the nickname "The First Famous Mountain on the Sea." Mount Laoshan's terrain rises in the east and slopes gently in the west. Its main peak, Jufeng (also known as Laoding), stands at 1,132.7 meters above sea level, with a summit area of approximately 1.5 square kilometers. It has a warm temperate continental monsoon climate with distinct seasonal variations, abundant rainfall, moderate annual temperatures, and a mild climate. 17
Mount Laoshan boasts abundant, pure, and clear water resources, making it a key source of water for Tsingtao Beer. It boasts a diverse array of flora and fauna, with a forest coverage rate of 62.2% in the mountainous area, encompassing a variety of vegetation types, including forests, shrubs, grasses, and psammophytes. Furthermore, Mount Laoshan boasts abundant mineral resources, including granite, as well as 681 varieties of Chinese medicinal herbs, earning it the nickname "Natural Medicine Storehouse." Mount Laoshan's core tourist areas include seven scenic areas: Jufeng, Taiqing, Huayan, Yangkou, and Jiushui. Highlights include the Taiqing Enlightenment Tour, Jufeng Scenic Spots, Taiping Birthday Prayers, Huayan Blessings, and the Jiushui Art Gallery. Mount Laoshan is also one of the important birthplaces of Taoism in China, known as the "Second Great Forest of Quanzhen Taoism."
In 1982, Mount Laoshan became one of the first national key scenic spots and is currently a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction and a national forest park.
For first-time visitors to Laoshan, I recommend three days. It's truly vast. On the first day, visit Taiqing and Huayan, on the second, Yangkou and Jiushui, and on the third, Jufeng.
I personally think Laoshan is best suited for self-driving tours. The scenic bus stops directly at the parking lot, so you'll miss out on many scenic views along the way.

Booking on Ctrip is slightly cheaper than buying on site. If you catch a promotion, the price will be even lower, but the price is still expensive. The scenery along the way is very good, with a panoramic view of the new and old city, the north and south urban areas and the seaside.
Zhongshan Park is the largest urban park in Qingdao. It is worth spending time to visit. The experience is very good. It takes at least two or three hours to visit. If you go to the zoo inside, you may need to spend a day. It is definitely a paradise for children. Recommended
