Qingdao Travel Guide | Treasure Level·Attractions·Photography Guide

Day 4: Leisurely Farewell

• Xiaoqingdao Park: A small island connected to the mainland by a causeway, with a white lighthouse that’s a symbol of Qingdao. The sea here is clear, and it’s less crowded than other beaches.
• Lu Xun Park: A coastal park with rocky shores, pine trees, and views of the sea. It’s a quiet spot to reflect before heading back.

💰 Cost Breakdown Notes

The ¥1,400 per person budget is quite reasonable, especially considering the flight from Guangzhou. Tips to save more:

• Flights: Book in advance or check for off-peak dates (mid-week) for cheaper fares.
• Accommodation: Staying near Taidong or Zhongshan Park can save on transportation costs, as they’re centrally located.
• Food: Street snacks and local restaurants (like Chuan Xiao Xian Seafood Ranch) offer delicious meals at affordable prices—avoid overpriced tourist traps.

🚗 Transportation Tips

• Metro: Convenient for traveling between major attractions (e.g., from Zhanqiao to University Road). The "Qingdao Metro" app is easy to use.
• Buses: Cover more areas than the metro, especially near coastal spots. The Alipay "Qindaotong Electronic Card" works seamlessly.
• Didi: Useful for shorter trips or when traveling with luggage, as some attractions (like Badaguan) are spread out.

🍤 Food Recommendations

• Chuan Xiao Xian Seafood Ranch (Wu Si Square Store): As mentioned, fresh and affordable seafood—try their grilled oysters and spicy crab.
• Taidong Snack Street: Don’t miss "Slap Wonton" (a local specialty) and "No. 1 Songhe Road" for roasted vermicelli with seafood.
• Local Dishes: Try braised sea cucumber, Qingdao beer (paired with seafood), and shrimp dumplings for an authentic taste.

Qingdao’s mix of history, architecture, and coastal beauty makes it a summer gem. With this itinerary, you’ll get a great sense of the city’s charm—enjoy your trip! 🌊
