Shanghai to Qingdao travel

Don’t go with a tour group. I feel uncomfortable traveling in a group tour.

I just came back from Qingdao yesterday and can give you some advice

Qingdao is a very beautiful city. It really deserves its reputation

The places to eat in Qingdao are not very expensive. There are many delicious seafoods that are not very expensive. My principle is to go in and eat in restaurants wherever you go. You can’t go wrong with this fact. The food tastes good and the average meal for two people is almost 50 yuan per meal

As for accommodation, I checked online before going and it was relatively expensive. I finally chose a Jiujiu Hotel about four or five stops away from the city hall. All the rooms in the chain are 99 yuan a night, which is pretty good and can be booked in advance online. But in fact, I found that there are some hotels near the university that are cheaper, but I haven’t gone in to see how the facilities are. If it’s troublesome to find them, I might as well try it. Book online before going

We mainly went on a few routes

1. There are many scenic spots along the coast. We started from the Olympic Sailing Base and walked past the sea water of May Fourth Square. All the scenic spots from the Baths to the Eight Great Views and all the way to the trestle are on the coast, but they are really tiring. We walked for a whole day and were quite tired, so I suggest you take a road on the right side of the coast. There are many buses. These buses are all along the coast. It's moving, so you might as well take the car while walking to save a lot of effort, and it's recommended to apply sunscreen all over your body, because the sea water will reflect the sun's ultraviolet rays more strongly than you think. This line does not cost money haha

2 It is a Qingdao specialty I went to the Christian Church (7 yuan), the Catholic Church (free), and the Fisheries College of Ocean University of China. I personally think it’s pretty good, but it’s similar to the photos on the Internet. You can follow your personal interests and then take the ferry to Xuejia Island and go to the Golden Beach. If you have enough time, Golden Beach is a good place to sit leisurely on the beach and eat something for a while. It is more romantic. Golden Beach is also free. The ferry is 10 yuan per person.

3 I went to Laoshan before I looked up online and said that if it is your first time visiting Laoshan, it is recommended to go to the southern Taiqinggong Line. But when I went there, I found that it was nothing. It was the Mingxia Palace at the top which was not very tiring. You can consider the northern line and the Beijiushui Line. I will inquire and compare. The price of both the southern line and the northern line is 70 yuan

In short, the consumption in Qingdao is not very high, mainly because the train tickets and accommodation fees to Qingdao and other expenses are not large
