    If you want to see the sea like in Winter Sonata, this is a place definitely worth visiting and experiencing. Braving the wind and waves, listening to the sounds of the ocean, walking on the soft sand, just relaxing and daydreaming—the beauty of the mountains and the sea is something you should definitely appreciate…🌷🌷😁😁

    Take the shuttle bus directly to Genting Highlands, and with the bright sunshine today, enjoy a panoramic view of the port city! The other stops weren't particularly interesting. However, the shuttle bus driver deserves praise; he was incredibly kind! He dropped me off at the Tao Yuanming Scenic Area, saving me the trouble of getting off at Faqi Temple and walking the rest of the way. The Sucheng Reservoir next to the mountain after the descent is worth taking photos of; the sunset glow makes for some great shots!

    It rained for several days during the National Day holiday. I went to Yuwan after the rain. There were quite a lot of people there. There was a direct bus for 5 yuan per person. It was quite comfortable, not too hot, and there was a waterfall. It wasn't particularly high. It was the right time, place, and people. However, the aftereffects were very serious and my legs hurt for several days.

    The rapid transit bus goes directly to the scenic area, and the shuttle bus goes directly to Jade Maiden Peak. From there, you can walk downhill. The Water Curtain Cave is a must-see. It has a very powerful engine, which could easily carry 500 monkeys. I recommend going towards Cave 72. There are strange rocks, numerous caves, and inscriptions by famous people. It's very interesting and meaningful. The whole journey took me about five hours, with many stops along the way.

    We went there on a rainy day, but the cave was not affected by the rain. The rafting was fun, not particularly stimulating, but easy to accept. As long as you don't have a heart disease, the elderly and children can ride it.

    Family, you absolutely can't miss the Underwater World when you come to Qingdao, especially that nearly 100-meter-long underwater tunnel! It's really amazing! Tickets are available now! Here's a guide for you: Copy Ticket Purchase Guide Tickets can be purchased in advance through the official WeChat account or major travel platforms. A general admission ticket is 170 yuan, with student discounts available. There might be queues at the ticket counter, so buying in advance is much more convenient. Itinerary We recommend starting with the Dreamy Jellyfish Palace, where the colorful jellyfish under the lights create a dreamlike scene, perfect for taking photos. Next, head to the Seal Pavilion to see the adorable seals. Now for the highlights: the Marine Life Pavilion and Whale Pavilion have many precious specimens, where you can learn a lot about the ocean. Then, there's the incredible underwater tunnel! Stretching nearly 100 meters, walking in feels like being surrounded by fish from every angle, with sharks, turtles, and rays swimming right beside you—the feeling is indescribable. It's also a great place for taking photos; even a simple shot on the escalator has a great atmosphere. Finally, head to the freshwater aquarium to see some unique freshwater creatures. Show Times: Don't forget to check the times for the mermaid show and the shark and human show; they're spectacular. Arrive half an hour early to secure a good front-row seat.

    This century-old castle-like building has a built-in retro filter, with its yellow granite walls and colorful roof making every photo a masterpiece. The interior is filled with European palatial style, with crystal chandeliers and ivory pianos of exceptional quality. The German craftsmanship is superb, and even the old heating system still works. It hides details that blend Chinese and Western styles, and a quiet stroll through it is filled with a profound sense of history. The ticket price is excellent value for money, making it a must-visit in Qingdao!

    Everyone says Signal Hill offers a panoramic view of the entire southern part of the city. This was my first time inside the tower; it has a rotating mechanism, and standing at the top gives you a truly beautiful view of the surrounding scenery.
