Because it is the first self-service trips, pre-departure I have done a lot of preparatory work, such as online access to Qingdao tour, accommodation, food, customs, transportation and other aspects of information; bought a round-trip train ticket (due to the reasons for the tourist season, do not buy T25/T26, unexpectedly blessing in disguise, a good experience for a moment first-class section of Qingdao, the train service.)
With regard to accommodation, because it is the same with my mother to go, and this line defined as a leisure travel, I decided to live in higher end hotels. Through access to information on various tourist accommodation site, I found this season is really good expensive restaurant in Qingdao. After careful consideration, with the help of friends, booked a Haitian East Building of the sea view room, four-star, containing pairs of the West as early as price is no less than three weeks without an early online hotel accommodation.
2539 times boarded the train from the beginning, I have already had a good opinion of Qingdao. Clean and warm the cars and the conductor with attentive service to make my trip is full of longing for the Qingdao. Service is good but good things to buy expensive, lunch 20 yuan a vacuum equipment Zhushou 12 yuan a pack and the quality problems (the conductor is actually very straightforward had drained away), Qingdao Transportation Figure 4 yuan a (in Qingdao Flower 2 yuan can buy anywhere).
Am nearly 7 points to reach Qingdao, decided to first go to the seaside Chuichui sea breeze. Did not expect the railway station from the beach so close, had an underground passage on to walk about 2 minutes; also never expected is that in such a tourist season, no surprise here, and in the next few days of the tour, along with my total is the empty streets, buses, even the most famous tourist attractions are inaccessible, making me feel that reside downtown Beijing seemed to the ideal world.
Comparing the sea here is clean, relatively blue, not like the city's waterfront, a hundred times stronger than the Beidaihe. There is a train station next to the beach, but it looks sandy is not very good. East along the beach 2 minutes walk to the famous pier on the park tickets 2 yuan. Because it is early morning, trestle Exalted few, only a few people fishing. I am all the way back to Lan Liu Dadao Court, enjoying the sea breeze blowing gently and enjoy the scenic panorama and the sea and the sky a small Qingdao phase at which the sun has just risen.
Trestle out of park, along the Zhongshan Road northbound, much of the Catholic church spire can be seen, about 10 minutes walk to the road this is located in Zhejiang Province, Qingdao, the most famous Gothic architecture - Catholic (tickets 5 yuan). When I got there 8:20, the church has not yet opened the door, so wait 5 minutes into the empty church. The church scene in general, it is better that looks good, but not as the church in Beijing.
She's already tired to go, so hit cars to the hotel. Qingdao, a taxi full of Santana and Jetta, both starting at 7 yuan, the car is very clean. We encountered a very warm and the driver along the way give us almost all of the attractions along the coast line so that I have benefited. About 10 minutes by car to reach the East China Sea along the Haitian Hotel, the occupancy and failed to trouble (the same price and book), the room a little antiquated, but a great sea view.
Hisense a taxi to the bridge at noon near the hotels seven-layer eat buffet, ABBA seafood hotpot, 29 yuan 1, there are a variety of shellfish, squid, ink fountain, and other known names are not on the seafood, there is no prawns and crab. Back to the hotel after fond nap.
Afternoon, a taxi to Lu Xun Park (tickets 5 yuan), the park is very small, full of rocks, sea water is clear, very representative. West side walk to the small coastal Qingdao (tickets 10 yuan), look no meaning, do not go in to visit. There are small fish near the mountain, the navy museum, aquarium and other attractions.
The sun fast downhill to the hotel when we swim at the beaches edge, where close to the beach from the third, there are colorful little sea boat. Rent on the next only to the sea buoy. There are many sea-water, cabbage and stone tablets, and some foot-binding, and good water is very clean, floating above, just enjoy the blue sky, white clouds, blue sea.
Evening from the hotel to the 54 square foot, about 20 minutes. Overlooking the shipyards will be relocated soon (ie, the future Olympic Village). 54 Square is the landmark Qingdao, surrounded by the construction of many modern high-rise buildings, formed a new district of Qingdao. Here not only can feel the busy metropolis, but also can enjoy the beauty of sky and sea.
The next morning take the 304 Road to the Laoshan, on the road need more than one hours. 50 yuan for the mountain Laoshan mountain attractions even a single charge, Tai Qinggong 10 yuan, the other 3-5 million, ranging from 40 yuan Taiqing cableway. Laoshan sea on three sides, landscape, and good, but climbing tired, so we did not go to a lot of attractions. Qingdao Laoshan is the most slaughtered all the attractions of a man, but also the most crowded tourist attractions.
Qingdao bus is very clean, passengers are scarce, the attitude of a good conductor. Most bus stops are automatically reported and no tickets, it is convenient, but ready to carry small change.
Pm by 26 road from the hotel to the famous Ba Da Guan (Sheng Wu Guan Road, get off). Badaguan from eight tree-lined trails that criss-cross the composition, although the well-known country-style architecture, in addition to flower Stone House, I did not find the number of unique buildings, such as Qingdao, which is not unknown on the streets of Western-style house, more than Cross Lane, Beijing China buildings, but added Badaguan the quiet and green makes me feel like a yes to a European town. Here we see a lot of wedding photographs, and down has become a landscape.
Flower stone, situated at the southeast corner of Badaguan, close to the second beach. This is a small German-style castle building, outer wall covered with green plants, for this age-old story buildings adds a vitality. Access to buildings, as if on behalf of two to three decades back. Wood floors, mahogany furniture, marble fireplace, colorful glass, rotating staircase, and everywhere was filled with a kind of nostalgia. Up to the roof, eyes suddenly see the light, which is a circular platform, overlooking the beach, Signal Hill, TV tower, and the European architecture of red roofs.
Then start looking for another well-known Danish-style architecture - Princess House. I do not know why, there are no open, but to Lex. The building is blue, it is dazzling, as is the new paint to go; structure of rough stone floor, far from comparable with the flowers, no wonder the Princess of Denmark can not show up.
Out Badaguan, multiply by 26 Fushan Road to a first-Carrefour shopping, and then the sky Lu Food Street consolation Liu Dadao stomach. To find the one small restaurant, point of several kinds of seafood and Deli, looking out the window past the occasional pedestrian, hoping to find some beautiful and handsome guy. Dishes on the very fast, really fresh seafood, Deli does not feel flattered. Checkout was found, seafood & Deli cheaper than a lot of regret.
On the third day got up later, after breakfast to the hotel after the seaside sit. This is a sea corridor, there is sculpture, decorative columns, chairs, and open space, far from the beautiful seaside villa. We are seated there, and my heart did not want anything, but also what is wanted is not up, much like a dream.
After checking out at noon, sitting 228 Road to the Christian Church (Tsing Yi Fuyuan get off tickets 5 yuan), which is a quiet, simple construction, heard no meaning, did not go in to visit. The next 5 minutes to walk the road Yishui Government House (now the CPPCC office), construction is very grand, getting ZHANG Zhao can move on. 5 minutes to reach Qingdao, a famous commercial street in the old mountain. A woman is a woman, see the shopping malls do not go in there is no reason, especially the two women together, it is fortunate that we have very little luggage. So Parkson has become our first stop on the road in Zhongshan point. Here to sell things and no difference in Beijing, I am disappointed, so to 8 layers to meet the needs of the stomach. Or seafood, but taste better than the past, prices are also expensive side; tasted grilled squid, compared with Beijing's delicious.
Spent the afternoon at the mall, the beach before dinner Liu Dadao continue blowing sea breeze, since it is Saturday, I finally saw the bustling crowd, but Beijing still not crowded, there is no debris on the ground, and Tanji, radio, reminding visitors to keep the ground at any time and sea water clean. Bright lights at the beach to sit, and enjoy the night view of the pier, the Zhongshan Road before returning to the United States and Darfur barbecue restaurant to eat dinner before leaving. Grilled squid here, indeed well-deserved reputation, but also big, fresh and cheap, taste pure; but other dishes may not flattered, and attendant attitudes and other state-owned shops, like blunt.
Finally, Chibaohezu, with pairs of Qingdao attachment, we boarded the train back to Beijing's 2540 meeting, ending a trip to Qingdao.
Qingdao's overall impression: clean, pleasant weather, green is good, prices low, a long coastline, people are few and hospitality, building unique and convenient transportation, municipal facilities to people-oriented (such as streets and the beach there are a lot of seats, can be seen everywhere and the design of Blind more reasonable), did not see beggars. In short same host Olympic city Qingdao, there are too many places worthy of study in Beijing.
The only shortcoming: Laoshan charges too dark.
Postscript: As of seafood to eat too much, got back to Beijing after the acute gastroenteritis and fever, but still think enough of seafood without food.
