Qingdao's Coastal Coffee Experience ☕️
#timetotravel
📍 极简主义coffee沙滩音乐节 : Shazikou Residential District Xijiang Gezhuang Community I3-36, Laoshan, Qingdao
🚘 We decided to explore the 极简主义coffee沙滩音乐节, which is located near the Jinxiu seascape theme restaurant. Getting there was a bit of a journey, and we opted for a Didi ride since it was quite far from the subway.
📸 The cafe offers a picturesque view of the sea. However, I found it to be just average in terms of ambiance; it really shines when you capture the right moments through editing in photos.
☕️ 🌊 What truly stood out was the opportunity to face the sea breeze while sipping a cup of coffee, creating a more artistic atmosphere. You could also enjoy some time on the beach, although it wasn't particularly expansive.
😌 Surprisingly, there weren't many people during our visit, which allowed us to have a serene two-hour stay. Afterward, we decided to take a leisurely stroll along the street and stumbled upon several interesting places nearby.
🏕️ We found the Stone Man Sightseeing Garden, a golf club, and camping sites, which piqued our curiosity for future visits.
