The legend of Qingdao Shilaoren bathing beach;

1. In the afternoon, there is a 17-meter-high stone pillar on the south side of the cliff near the sea at the foot of the mountain, 1 meters away from the shore. It looks like an old man sitting on the blue waves and is called the old man stone. My husband holds his chin in his hand and pays great attention. Every morning, he welcomes the rising sun and sends away the sunset. With the ebb and flow of the tide, he has gone through many vicissitudes, and I don't know how many years have passed. This masterpiece of natural sculpture has become an important symbol of Shilaoren National Tourist Resort and a famous tourist attraction in Qingdao.

2. Shilaoren is a typical marine columnar landscape on the bedrock coast of China. Thousands of years of wind and wave erosion and impact have caused the bedrock coast at the foot of the mountain to collapse and retreat in the afternoon, ground into fine sand and deposited in the gentle Dajiangkou Bay. Only the solid stone pillar of the stone old man is left, which is the shape of today.

3. Seen from the northwest, this strange stone in the sea looks like an old man and is lifelike. The beautiful and moving legend about this strange stone has also attracted many tourists to visit.

4. According to legend, the old man Shi is a hardworking and kind fisherman, who lives at the foot of Wushan Mountain and lives alone with his smart and beautiful daughter. Unexpectedly, one day, my daughter was robbed into the Dragon Palace by the Dragon King, and the poor old man called day and night at the seaside, eager to wear it. Although he lost his knees in the sea, his temples were all white, his waist was hunched, his back was hunched, and he clung to the seaside. Later, when the old man sat in the water on his chin, the dragon king used magic to make the old man's body gradually stiff into stone. Knowing the news of her father, the girl was in great pain and rushed out of the Dragon Palace to run to her father who had turned to stone. The flowers on her head were blown to the island by the sea breeze to take root and sprout, so Nagato Rock and Daguan Island were full of wild winter-resistant flowers. When the girl approached Laoshan Mountain, the Dragon King enchanted her again, turning her into a huge reef and putting it on the sea alone. From then on, father and daughter can only face each other across the sea and never meet. Later, people called this huge reef Daughter Island.
