Natural scenery

Laoshan Mountain (Mount Lao)

"Mount Tai, high as the cloud, is eclipsed by Mount Lao on the sea." Laoshan Mountain, a cradle of Taoism, enchants visitors with the magnificent Lion Peak and Taiqing Temple where Zhang Sanfeng and Qiu Chuji once practiced cultivation. Taking a bird's-eye view from Lingqi Peak of Laoshan Mountain, looking at the floating clouds in the azure sky and breathing in the refreshing sea breeze, one suddenly becomes free of worldly worries.

Bathing beaches

There are many bathing beaches in Qingdao, nine of which are officially recognized, with No.1 Bathing Beach having the longest history. Qingdao No. 1 Bathing Beach is located at the coast of Huiquan Bay, with a beach of 580 meters long and 40 meters wide. It was once the largest bathing beach in Asia. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides with verdant trees. The water in the bay is clear and calm, the beach is flat, and the sand is fine and soft, all of which provide excellent natural conditions for a bathing beach.

Dazhu Mountain

Dazhu Mountain Scenic Area faces the sea on three sides. It is known for gorgeous valleys, grotesque peaks and stones, and booming flowers. In April every year, the azalea blossoms in the valley are in full bloom, like red clouds covering the mountain, turning the place into a wonderland.
