Little Qingdao(Xiao Qingdao Park)

Morning: Zhanqiao Pier — Bu She Zhou Ye Café — Xiaoqingdao Park — First Bathing Beach — No. 5 Old Western-style House Afternoon: Yanerdao Park — Xiaomai Island Park — Qingdao Shazikou 1. Zhanqiao Pier To photograph Zhanqiao Pier, don’t just shoot the pier itself. The view of the pier partially hidden like a pipa (Chinese lute) is far more captivating than close-up shots taken from the pier. Navigate to "Li Weinong Park" and find two pine trees by the sea to use as foreground; this can create a god’s-eye perspective. 2. Bu She Zhou Ye Café An old Western-style house wrapped in vines, just quietly standing there sparks endless imagination. No wonder it was the filming location for Lu Han’s music video; it’s easy to capture a nostalgic vibe here. 3. Xiaoqingdao Park The best place in Qingdao to photograph the sea, famous for the dragon cypress tree that looks like a kindly old grandmother with a perm. From afar, you can see Qingdao Station, giving a cinematic urban feel. 4. First Bathing Beach There is a heart-shaped tree here, giving off a playful romantic vibe. If you want to shoot scenes like a romantic drama, this is the perfect spot to check in. 5. No. 5 Old Western-style House The red roof radiates a passionate atmosphere, as if you’ve traveled to Europe. Want to be the little princess in a fairy tale? Don’t miss this place. 6. Yanerdao Park Rocks, waves, wooden boardwalks, and poppies swaying in the breeze easily sketch a youthful and vibrant scene. It’s a great setting for a pure campus love story. 7. Xiaomai Island Park There are five popular trees here. The best suggestion is to use two of them as foreground elements and shoot upward toward the sky to create a mysterious futuristic feel. 8. Qingdao Shazikou Qingdao’s own Santorini, with layers of red roofs that glow golden at sunset, making it easy to capture heartwarming cinematic shots.

Three days in Qingdao just weren't enough… I found 15 amazing spots for ocean-view photos. My social media has been blowing up with questions about them. 1️⃣ No. 2 Bathing Beach A hidden gem next to the breakwater, just like in "Goblin." Fewer crowds make it perfect for photos. It disappears underwater during high tide, so check the tide charts. 2️⃣ Shazikou Square The colorful fishing village against the blue sea feels like Italy. Even better with a sunset 🌅 3️⃣ Wheat Island Park Stroll through a world straight out of a Miyazaki anime. Even better in spring when the grass is green. The lone tree in the park is also worth checking out. 4️⃣ Xilingxia Third Road Qingdao's version of "Little Kamakura," perfect for Japanese-style photos. 5️⃣ Emerald Garden The road to the sea. Worth a stop if you're going to Shilaoren, but not recommended as a standalone destination. 6️⃣ No. 1 Bathing Beach Qingdao's iconic heart-shaped tree. Solitary yet romantic. 7️⃣ Xiaoqingdao Park A less-known spot where you can get the St. Michael's Cathedral in your frame. 8️⃣ North Sea Rescue Bureau The red and white lighthouse and distant ferry give off European vibes. Navigate to "Lighthouse Courtyard" if driving. 9️⃣ Shilaoren Bathing Beach 🔥 The iconic little white house is very "Jeju Island." If you have time, wait for a Shilaoren sunset. 🔟 Qinyu Road The stunning S-shaped coastal road and lone tree are worth a trip to Qingdao. 1️⃣1️⃣ Li Weinong Park A less-known spot similar to Zhan Bridge, easy to avoid the crowds. 1️⃣2️⃣ Sculpture Park The pine and cypress maze leading to the sea is great for photos. The park itself is also worth exploring. 1️⃣3️⃣ Xiaoqingdao Park The park has many hidden gems for photography. 1️⃣4️⃣ Tsingtao Beer 1903 Time Brewery The iconic swing and white sailboat are here too. Worth checking out together. 1️⃣5️⃣ Yumingzui The perfect spot for sunset viewing. Arrive half an hour before sunset. 🚗 Three-Day Itinerary Day 1: Xilingxia Third Road➡️ Li Weinong Park➡️ Zhan Bridge➡️ Former German Prison Site➡️ Miyazaki Manga Street➡️ Qingdao Internet-Famous Wall➡️ Qinyu Road Day 2: Xiaoqingdao Park➡️ No. 1 Bathing Beach➡️ No. 2 Bathing Beach➡️ Sculpture Park➡️ Emerald Garden➡️ Shilaoren➡️ Shazikou Day 3: North Sea Rescue Bureau➡️ Mountain Stream Valley➡️ Haishen Temple➡️ Tsingtao Beer 1903 Time Brewery➡️ Shiquetan➡️ Liansandao➡️ Yumingzui

Upon arrival, the hotel feels like a warm harbor, quietly standing at the intersection of bustling and tranquility. Its exterior is simple yet modern, like an elegant gentleman, calmly welcoming guests from all directions.

Qingdao's Qinyu Road, located in Shinan District, is a picturesque coastal path brimming with artistic vibes. This route connects Little Qingdao Park and Lu Xun Park, offering stunning ocean views and Qingdao's signature red-roofed buildings amidst lush greenery along the way. Stretching about 500 meters, the walk takes approximately 15 minutes, perfect for a leisurely stroll. The best times to visit are early morning or dusk when crowds are thinner, allowing you to quietly enjoy the refreshing sea breeze. The road is lined with charming cafes and boutique shops—we highly recommend trying the local pour-over coffee. Numerous photo spots dot the pathway, especially near Little Qingdao section where you can capture the iconic lighthouse framed against the sea. For transportation, take Metro Line 3 to People's Hall Station, then walk about 10 minutes. Qinyu Road is open 24/7 free of charge (though Little Qingdao Park requires a separate 5-yuan ticket). We suggest combining your visit with nearby attractions like Lu Xun Park and Naval Museum for a fulfilling half-day itinerary. Don't forget sunscreen—the coastal UV rays are particularly strong.
