The famous Qingdao Central Commercial Street, Zhongshan Road, runs through the north and south, and it is like a historical stream. It has been flowing for hundreds of years in the hearts of old Qingdao people. Looking at today's bustling and clean commercial street, looking back at the century-old Zhongshan Road, the vicissitudes of life are amazing. The famous Qingdao Central Commercial Street, Zhongshan Road, runs through the north and south, and it is like a historical stream. It has been flowing for hundreds of years in the hearts of old Qingdao people. Looking at today's bustling and clean commercial street, looking back at the century-old Zhongshan Road, the vicissitudes of life are amazing. The footprint of Zhongshan Road in the first 50 years has been filled with the historical dust of the old times. After Germany occupied Qingdao, it once divided Zhongshan Road into two areas, European and Chinese, with the boundary of Baoding Road and Dexian Road as the boundary (the boundary stone of the year is now in the Qingdao Mountain Fortress Exhibition Hall), and the southern part is the European settlement, north. It is a Chinese-occupied area, and the pavement in the southern section is six meters wider than the northern section. Due to the difference of the living quarters, the commercial pattern of Zhongshan Road has formed a bureaucratic style between the foreign bank and the Chinese shop. On the eve of the liberation of Qingdao, the shops in Zhongshan Road still have such old scars . How to get there: bus 6 road; 8 roads; 221 roads; 228 roads; 231 road loops; 308 roads; 305 Road; 325 Road; 301 Road; 320 Road

Since they were first discovered by farmers in 1974, the life-size, terracotta army of Emperor Qin Shihuang has become the defining attraction of Xi’an, a historic northwestern city boasting pagodas, towers and fortification walls from several eras. Although the huge Qin mausoleum site, located about an hour outside of town, requires decades more excavation, more than 2,000 perfectly restored chariots, horses and individual warriors now stand in proud formation, guarding the passage of China’s first emperor from life to death. #themeparks#nationalpark

3rd tier cities are rarely the place tourists travel to in China. And understandably so. They're often less developed and less exciting versions of bigger cities. But in these cities reside a significant percentage of China's population and, therefore, they better reflect the country's culture. Qingzhou is one of such cities; a relatively insignificant city in modern China, but what few know is that it was quite an influential hub back in the day ... I mean WAY back in the day. Luckily some of the old town has survived (however obvious renovations are visible) and one can really imagine the good old days while navigating the little alleys. Of course it's inevitable that you will encounter the usual stores selling Sun Wu Kung face masks, milk tea, and trinkets from the early days of modern China, so don't expect any high end treasures. It might be better to just enjoy the walk, grab a bowl of noodles, and possibly get your hair trimmed outdoors by the local barbers that line the main street. Another charming part of the city is Yunmen Mountain. It rises up a few kilometers to the south of the city and very little development surrounds it. It's a peaceful area and the hike up the mountain helps one escape the stress of city life. The reward is ultimately a marvelous view of the city and miles of countryside. Before heading back to the city, possibly pop in to one of the adorable rural restaurants at the foot and grab a bite to eat. PS to those adventurous few: fried cicadas, crickets, scorpions, or goats head might be found on some menus #historicculture#culturalattractions#hiking

We specifically went to Qingdao to try our hand at surfing and let me tell you it was fantastic! We went through a company called North Surf on 1st Bathing Beach in Shinan district, Qingdao and had an excellent coach named Mi. He was chill and brought such a good vibe to our first surfing lesson. By the end of the lesson we were standing on the board and ready for bigger waves. I enjoyed this experience so much I’ll be going back before the end of the summer🤟🏽🤟🏽 #summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer
