Red Tile Green Trees, Azure Sea and Blue Sky: Three-Day Trip to Qingdao
2018/4/29 Changsha-Qingdao

It was April, and my best friend casually asked if we should go to Qingdao. At that time, there were many things worrying me, so I immediately booked a flight to Qingdao without hesitation
In late April, the sunshine in Qingdao was strong, but the temperature was still relatively low. When we arrived, we immediately felt the sea breeze, and those who plan to go should definitely bring a warm jacket
My best friend took me and this 'dragged oil bottle'. We didn't choose a regular hotel and instead found a two-bedroom apartment online with a large floor-to-ceiling glass, very white walls, and an open-plan kitchen. Before going, we had already planned to eat a lot of seafood, and we were worried about being cheated, so we went to the nearby seafood market to buy and cook it ourselves. The giant mud snails were really huge!
Near May Day, the crowds were surging. We went to a less popular small fish mountain. You could see the sea and sky at a 360-degree angle. The scenery inside Xiaoyu Shan might not be as good as the signal, but we could see the entire seascape without dead angles. There was no need to worry about people in the lens when taking pictures
After coming down from Xiaoyu Shan, we walked along the coast for a long time. There were many children on the shore picking shells and crabs. The slow pace, red-tiled villas, and gentle sea breeze showed the most romantic and gentle side of Qingdao. There were many small cafes nearby, and we could take a coffee and take beautiful photos when we were tired
I remember that Xiao Zhu had a TV series called 'Turning the Corner to Meet Love' which had to be visited at the intersection of Xiaoyu Road and Fish Mountain Road – the famous Instagram corner. This was the real-life version of turning a corner to meet love. Many young couples photographed and visited there. Red-tiled green trees Xiaoyu Road: The most beautiful corner, leaving the most beautiful figures
Later, we were hungry and went to Qingdao's most historic commercial street – Zhongshan Road Commercial Street, which is Qingdao's oldest and most historic commercial street. Many old houses were preserved on both sides of the street, and most of them were renovated and reopened as shops. Although the functions were different, the classical and elegant appearance was still preserved. So Zhongshan Road has a very European and romantic style
Beer Museum
Even if you don't drink alcohol, a small friend should have heard of Tsingtao Beer. As a Tsingtao native, we bought local Tsingtao beer. But the Tsingtao Beer Museum was what we really wanted to visit. After purchasing the tickets, we could see the development, production, and brewing process of Tsingtao beer in the museum, as well as the various packaging and culture of beer. We could also try a glass of freshly brewed beer. After finishing a glass, we had to pay again for a refill. It was very exaggerated, and many people really bought it as souvenirs and sent it home – they really loved beer!
