Had intended to take advantage of off-season in mid-May to Qingdao to see, and may be SARS after all, let me scrape together a lively, in the hot summer, I went to the beach in Qingdao.
- Blue Coast, blue Qingdao (from Qingdao, on the streets everywhere LOGO, designed for the Olympic Games)
Beach
Qingdao, a total of six sizes (numbers not exact? Patronize the playing, and did not remember the number of numbers) beach. 6th beach is the worst. Because of its location near the train station, beach seemed noisy and cramped, reddish foam children's water breaking on the crowded pier, sand a small poor. Even so, there are still many tourists just off the train ranged from the sea to lay down their luggage on the straight away, but it was not even the swimsuit for playing on the sea. The beach side of the reef base, many people digging the sea oyster or catching hermit crabs, to see if they mention the kegs carrying a small shovel hard at looking like a serious, really let me also moved to see the heart does go on.
The second beach is my impression that the only baths, should be charged. To spend it in the spots next to the stone floor, as was previously the leader Chiang Kai and other countries have enjoyed, a mere collection of binary baths ticket money as a management fee, in any case can not be considered expensive. However, this "charge" more or less general Guizu Qi Dai Ledian it.
My favorite is still located in the outskirts of Shilaoren beach (in fact, also not far from the city center, after all, not the city itself). Where the broad vision, beach lingering gentle, Yourenruzhi. And lonely, crowded the sea is not suitable, it is people with quiet contemplation. In fact, in the summer to the beach, to be this crowded, so many people in the sea in front of all the mask aside to enjoy a natural atmosphere and compassion. Playing in the water, play sand, play volleyball, looking for shells, sunbathing, sleeping, watching beautiful handsome guy, showing body. . . . . . How kind of go nuts on the bar, no one mind, no one would mind. Want is to relax, that is happy.
Climate
Out of Shanghai, 36 degrees, 26 degrees when in Qingdao. Qingdao, a very cool summer morning, and even wear long-sleeved clothes to resist the coolness of climate comfort in the dire straits this year were in Shanghai for almost a paradise. Qingdao will not, of course, there is no taste of the summer, large walk in there is no shade at noon on the road will still feel hot to swim in the sea has cast a sunscreen still careful. Have in mind the nest few days at the hotel was in the house (no air conditioning) watching television, while Shanghai's TV news is broadcast 38-degree heat.
Banks
Qingdao every corner is strewn with the Bank of China. From the government buildings and the city, adjacent to Bank of China Tower, to the bus body advertising, everywhere. The impression that only the edge of Fushan by the Carrefour supermarket there is a modest signs of CCB; There are also some impressions of the CITIC Industrial Bank, in addition, never seen not remember what other bank. The banking system must have worked in Qingdao, and are also some colleagues. Bank of China in Qingdao, the location of the absolute, as Big Brother, firmly into the market, it is estimated, and its other banks are competing for jobs is a painful thing.
Construction
Shanghai, Qingdao, not so many beautiful buildings, but its construction is also very characteristic. In the main road on both sides of the building facade is usually wide, looking very atmospheric. I was on a bus had passed through a secondary school, the magnificent facade is simply cast doubt on the school or what it is large government agencies. This large and Beijing's different: Beijing's building is great but stupid, like have also fits, especially during the reign of Chen Xitong a piece of paper instructions, so that the number of buildings in the capital, are ubiquitous ball-point of the same hat. Qingdao, on top of many small buildings have Sinocalanus chimney, it is estimated there is not much practical value, perhaps modeled on former German-style bar; there are many new office buildings, were decorated at the top of the wave into the winding, and the peri-urban sea-water fish are compatible comic titles; while those shaded in green and white walls where most of the old small house is located in the quiet road, a lot of cars parked outside the wall.
Lawn
Qingdao, a lot of lawn, because the air clean and even more green. Lawn is not the same as the Shanghai Circuit with a high iron fence, there will not see them, "Do not trample on," signs, usually readily available in green, can be seen everywhere, but it was also no rush to enter, so it always appears green very pure, there is no debris colorful visual pollution; Caoer a healthy growth, tidy, and will not collapse缺胳膊少腿.
Row
Qingdao's path is very quiet, especially in the Ba Da Guan and around the vicinity of the former Government House, but also quiet, pleasant, even in the summer tourist season is still not the least bit noisy (feeling somewhat like Shanghai, Hunan Road area). And the coastal city of Xiamen, as a result of its geographical location, Qingdao has a flat surface, ranging from large slope, undulating curves added to this place a unique atmosphere. Road very clean, with almost no scraps of paper peel. Roadside planted with London plane trees with luxuriant foliage, canopy close to side by side, even in hot summer afternoon, in such a small walk around aimlessly on the road to see is also a rare pleasure. Qingdao's main road is very wide, when compared to the people of Shanghai are proud of what all of what is like younger sister looking up to Big Brother's Road. These roads are also very clean, even the zebra crossing has maintained a more white color. The establishment of a lot of city lights at the crossroads, so I used it to narrow in Shanghai, the shuttle's non-compliance with traffic laws and regulations of people suddenly had the feeling of loss. Qingdao, also for those people, however, the level of signals ranging from a different direction to the counting of seconds, the establishment of a brand - whether it is inconvenient for the elderly still have legs hurry Events pedestrians, can know what to do while waiting will not be irresolute Gaode irresolute Ran; to walk through Shi You know how to control the pace. In fact, a similar facility in other small cities are also many, I have been do not understand why Shanghai can not learn from studying it, Shanghai, the country is not a city in the highest degree of aging do, why the government had never at this point for them as well? Take I walk through every day of the Century Avenue (also referred to the people of Shanghai proud of this road a) for instance, green time is short, are not familiar with the pedestrian traffic, especially the elderly, we would certainly half-way step out of the red light has been stopped, that is dangerous nor scientific. Shanghai built a Name Xie subway, but also make great efforts to build magnetic levitation, but do not want to count seconds in the small effort is spent on cards; finally got a signal light pole broke a pedestrian can immediately stop the guy by, but is the fundamental inconsistent with the Shanghai Urban road conditions Dongdong, not long after became impractical decorations - put it bluntly, Shanghai did not take people seriously, not "people-oriented."
Qingdao, big and small seem to rarely seen on the road traffic police (4 days only on a road near the Government House have never seen one), but not see wearing armbands blowing a small whistle command grandfather grandmother who may be surprising is that Qingdao Transportation in good condition. Look at Pudong, I work every day passing, Pudong Avenue, Pudong South Road and the crossroads, it seems a decent traffic but because of the four supernumerary and a regular police picket was maintained. Signal conversion moment, there are endless whistle sound effect, and a busy gestures that always makes me feel like cattle being rushed into the same cage; or as circus animals, listening to the whistle of the instruction and make a variety of actions - only difference lies in that we are moving forward off of the road only. Better than anything else, so-called international metropolis Shanghai's image will be only suffered a crushing defeat on this point.
Qingdao, almost all the bus stations are at least two shelters, pavilion and fenced back to glass cover wind and rain, beautiful and practical. The bus station in Shanghai a few can do it? Qingdao bus station is a station with the same name, even if, like myself had just arrived tourists, as long as know a few road cars, they can set out on the map of bus lines clearly understand where the next stop is the distance of the destination There are a few stations, is extremely convenient. And Shanghai, the same place, different routes will be using a different station names, let alone outsiders, and even the local does not necessarily be able to figure out - still can not people-oriented.
Qingdao city vehicles rarely Ming Hao, perhaps because the road width owes something, we do not need to fight robbery, so I looked at the road is always orderly, nor have I heard people distracted trumpet. 4 days in Qingdao I only sat one time a taxi, because I do not think there took the bus there is any inconvenience. Their bus driver would not like Shanghai, as in order to grab one passengers desperately to overtake, or will chaos brakes, left twist right swing, totally disregarding the passengers have been left standing too unstable; they do not like the drivers and salesclerks growled like a duck catch you quickly up and down, they usually wait for passengers calmly - so that Shanghai people are impulsive.
Qingdao car lot, the beach, restaurants beside the scenic area. . . . . . However, a small luxury car, but mostly with domestic vehicles. 4 days inside Piedao the best car is a Lexus, it seems not seen Mercedes-Benz, BMW and so on. However, if added back, and in so spacious, clean, tidy streets Youran open trolley cars common sense, I am afraid to be better than those in Shanghai, Meng Meng ash, dust Meng Meng's congestion driving on the so-called climax Malaysia car bar - or at least not beyond their grasp. And if the road here Biao car will feel so cool.
Fried dumpling
My stomach did not live up to expectations, to head back to Qingdao seafood feast on the confused became very sick and my colleagues have to lose, loss, after a few tons can only watch the little sigh. But have at least a taste of the "Qingdao No. 1 fresh" clams (in fact, there are other coastal cities), the taste was really good. Their fried dumpling is astonished me. The oyster point of a two yellow fried dumpling, thought the staple food is enough. Side of the plate is actually a sufficient amount of 2 2 more than just hard enough is simply wasted. That a fried dumpling on top of Shanghai's two large, there are spring rolls so long, stuffing a full package of. I not only suspect that up: Is fried dumpling in Shanghai, it has never been a lack of scale or because the northerners really forthright and put one or two things to do 22? ! It seems to bring a snack to eat next time scale, and otherwise the doubts in any case, inextricably linked.
People
Living in Shandong Province, Qingdao, who naturally have a warm and frank national renown. One on the age, half the first silver-haired old man to me at the roadside hawkers selling maps, was I declined. Afterwards, I asked him about the road, the old man good mood and enthusiasm of pointing; the next few days have encountered a similar thing, equally applicable. If this was anywhere else, I do not buy his stuff, who reason I ah - good point temper Bu Zhisheng, almost of the nose, and then bad point for me, I am afraid we must refer to an opposite direction of the road by now.
Thought out a lot of famous models in Qingdao in this stars that I can feast for the eyes, but only four days to counting down to see these at a glance to have seen five handsome guy and 5 Meimei. One handsome guy in the buses to see, Meimei is visiting the underground mall in the mountain when we say - and so far I can not know what exactly is a local Qingdao people are still outside visitors.
Most of these people dress, Qingdao, simple, rarely seen young woman wearing a gold and silver, and not much make-up, and even the first flowers are simple. This point and Xiamen are very different, many dressed in fancy Penan, to whitewash the phenomenon seriously, not knowing that dark skin lining the bright colors is not very pleasant to the eye - at least I think so. In contrast, Qingdao, the simple people feel a natural look even more comfortable and more cities in the mountain beside the sea with this great match temperament. Zhongshan Road underground mall and the People's Square, the underground mall is similar and wonderful, a very long street, there are many forks in the road, during which there are numerous small shops open, selling a wide range of trendy clothes and accessories - may be why the I have seen in Qingdao still is so plain it? Or any of these shops to open only for tourists? But I think those things that is not suitable for Qingdao fashion people - is hard to imagine a tall, natural Qingdao Tiancheng girl sets the Zhuiman lace, Peng with lantern sleeves, has a bohemian style, very feminine retro dresses would look like, there must be some awkward, and there must be some wrong in. I would like to Qingdao, a girl more suitable for chic clothing, jeans, high boots of what would certainly be in their bodies to more handsome southern women wear pretty. The summer Qingdao young men seem to prefer small lattice shirt and white T-shirt, they are usually short hair, clean the whole placed on micro-black skin, very few people to stay dirty long hair and nausea goatee; I did not see had a boy with the kind of nondescript, bell-bottoms or tights to dress themselves, so they seem more men are not feminine.
Summary - I like Qingdao, like his human nature, clean, comfortable climate and the sea within reach. This is a more suitable than the Shanghai place to live.
