Day 1

On the first day, start from Zhanqiao Pier. This place is especially beautiful in the morning. Seagulls fly overhead, creating a scene straight out of a movie. And the best part is, there's no entrance fee. Next, head to the Badaguan Scenic Area. Entrance is free here, and you can see various styles of architecture, making it a perfect spot for taking photos. When you get tired, take a break near Huashi Tower. In the afternoon, go to the No.1 Bathing Beach. Although it gets crowded in summer, the seawater is crystal - clear, making it an ideal place for swimming and sunbathing. Finally, you can visit Little Qingdao Park. The entrance ticket is only 10 yuan. There is a small lighthouse in the park, and it's extremely peaceful, great for overlooking the sea view.

Day 2

On the second day, explore the culture and history of Qingdao. First, go to the Tsingtao Beer Museum. The entrance ticket costs 60 yuan. Not only can you learn about the history of Tsingtao Beer, but you can also get to taste fresh beer for free. It's really an amazing experience. Then, visit St. Michael's Cathedral. There is no entrance fee for this place. The architectural style is quite unique, and there are many small shops around to browse. When it's lunchtime, I went to Pichaiyuan. There are all kinds of local snacks here. It's truly a food lover's paradise with a wide variety of choices and affordable prices.

Day 3

On the third day, go to Laoshan Scenic Area. The entrance ticket is 90 yuan, and it's suitable for a one - day hiking trip. The scenery of Laoshan is magnificent, with the mountains and the sea connecting, which can make you feel refreshed and relaxed. It is recommended to bring some snacks and water by yourself. On the way, you can visit Taiqing Palace, which is a Taoist temple in Laoshan with a long history and is worth seeing. The last stop is Shilaoren Bathing Beach. Compared with the No.1 Bathing Beach, there are fewer people here, and the environment is more secluded.
