A new coffee shop by the sea in Laoshan, Qingdao - a romantic place shrouded in mist.
It's not Jeju Island, it's Laoshan, Qingdao! A coffee shop hidden in the clouds and mist by the sea, bringing you a different romantic experience. 💖Here, you can taste delicious coffee, feel the sea breeze, and immerse yourself in the world of books.
🏝️Laoshan Sea Cloud Book Coffee is a place that combines a coffee shop, art center, and book bar. The environment of the clouds and mist makes you feel like you are in a fairyland, and it is quiet and comfortable as if it is isolated from the world.
📍It is located in Laoshan, Qingdao, with convenient transportation and ample parking spaces. As soon as you walk in, you will be attracted by the environment here. The aroma of coffee, the sound of the sea breeze, the sound of turning pages, everything is so harmonious.
🥹On a sunny day, you can see the blue sea, and it's a great place to take pictures! Whether it's the lonely bridge by the sea outside or the art exhibition inside, they are all great places to take pictures.
🌊If you walk to the right along the beach, you can see the lonely bridge. Taking pictures at high tide is even more romantic. The giant rose on the beach that was very popular in winter adds a different color to this place.
📷Photo tips:
It is recommended that you come when the coffee shop opens, and there will be a wave of smoke at this time, and the light is also very good. If you feel that the photos taken are a bit backlit, you can adjust the camera settings and increase the shadows and vividness.
✨Sisters who come to Laoshan, don't miss it! The free sea-viewing experience here allows you to easily grasp the relaxation. Come here, enjoy the coffee shop by the sea, feel the travel guide of Qingdao, and make your trip more exciting! 🤳

A Glimpse of Qingdao Sculpture Park
#summerdestinations
Qingdao Sculpture Park is near the Qingdao Hyatt Regency and Shi Lao Ren/Old Stone Man in Laoshan district off Donghai Lu. The park stretches downhill to the sea, along the alternately sandy and rocky beach. There’s also an indoor sculpture museum at the far west of the park.
As the weather gets warmer, the Qingdao Sculpture Garden attracts more visitors especially during weekends and holidays. They come to camp, take photos, and enjoy the beautiful seaside scenery.#100WaysOfTravel

Stayed in Qingdao for three days, the most comfortable stay ever
Waking up to the sea view, and being lucky enough to catch the sunrise early in the morning!
We stayed for three days, and saw blue tones, pink tones, sunsets, sunrises, and jellyfish sea. There are just a few moments in life that are wonderful.
The terrace is great for taking photos, very photogenic!
Especially around seven o'clock, the blue tones are so beautiful.
There's also a big terrace! Also great for taking photos.
Right outside is a café.
Personally, I feel this is the most comfortable stay I've had recently.

A Trip of Fun and Delight in Qingdao
🌈Visiting Qingdao and wanting to experience authentic local seafood, one must mention Taidong Pedestrian Street. It's filled with beer houses, and at night, diners gather like clouds to taste the flavor of old Qingdao.
💒From the May Fourth Square to the Badaguan Scenic Area, and then playing all the way to Zhan Bridge, we ended up at Taidong Pedestrian Street for dinner.
🚶♂️Wandering through Taidong Pedestrian Street, I found a restaurant with a lot of customers, a rich menu, and many local seafood feasts.
💖A full plate of seafood big shots, with all kinds of seafood available, fresh and delicious.
💖The hand-grabbed seafood eating method is quite special, allowing one to taste the original flavor of the seafood, which is quite interesting.
💖The spicy crab is tender, and the spicy flavor is very appetizing, making it hard to stop eating.
💖The salt and pepper shrimp has a crispy outer shell, and the shrimp meat is fragrant with salt and pepper, really good!
🎈Not far from the restaurant, I found a quite distinctive e-sports hotel, adding a different color to this trip.
🎈The room is comfortably furnished, and the computer equipment is also good. Playing games here with your partner or friends is quite stress-relieving. When tired, you can just sleep, which is very convenient.
🖥️The monitor uses a curved screen for an immersive experience, and the graphics card even has a 4070, easily handling any AAA title, making gaming stress-free.

The Truth About Little Italy in Qingdao: Not Recommended to Visit Shazikou on Cloudy Days!
Visiting Shazikou on a day without sunshine and with fog over the sea, it's really hard to capture that 'Little Italy' vibe in the photos 😔
📍 Must-visit spots in Shazikou
1️⃣ Locate 'Shazikou Leisure Square', then walk along the shore until you reach a small sandy beach at the end
2️⃣ The popular photo spot is at 'Shazikou Beach Barbecue Camping Site', right across Shazikou, offering a wide-angle view!
🌳 Itinerary Suggestions (Complete in One Day)
Shazikou is located off the beaten path, closer to Laoshan, with 2 ways to enjoy it
1️⃣ Yangkou Scenic Area → Qingshan Fishing Village → Shazikou → Shi Lao Ren Beach
2️⃣ Xiaomaidao → Sea's Love Park → Qingdao Sculpture Park → Shi Lao Ren Beach → Shazikou
🌤️ Photo Tip: Visit on a sunny day or when the weather is clear
Through the thin mist, I can guess its beauty under the blue sky, but unfortunately, I can't catch the good weather this time
I suggest everyone choose a sunny day to take photos, so you can capture Shazikou at its most beautiful!

The urban area of Qingdao is so crowded! Luckily, I found this place
Qingdao is really beautiful, it's just too crowded
Every time I go there, it's packed with people
The internet-famous check-in spots are more about appreciating people from all over the place
Lingshan Island is an excellent place to get away from the hustle and bustle and get close to nature. Homestay: Wake up in the sea
You can easily reach it by Yongsunda or Lingshan Island ferry, with a round-trip fare of 80 yuan per person
This is not just a transportation experience, but also a journey on the sea.
Here, every day starts facing the sea, greeting the blue waves and the fresh sea breeze. During the day, you can sit on the balcony, enjoying the baptism of the sun and the waves; in the evening, it's the best time to watch the afterglow of the sunset, with that touch of gold sprinkled on the sea, so beautiful it's intoxicating. If you're lucky, you might even capture the tranquility and depth of the blue hour.
The seaside breeze seems to have a magical power; it gently brushes by and takes away all the worries and sorrows in my heart. Here, there's no need to worry about the noise of the city, just relax and have a profound conversation with nature

I've been to Qingdao five times!! My favorite citywalk route in Qingdao citywalk!!
Qingdao's old town is just too beautiful!
My citywalk route, super healing!
Train Station→Zhan Bridge→Yin Yu Alley--Turn at the corner of University Road onto Longjiang Road→Longhua Road→Huangxian Road→Signal Hill→Xiaoyu Hill
There are ice cream shops, coffee shops, street food stalls, and streets full of artistic and romantic vibes
Everything looks good with a casual snap!! The night view is also very photogenic!!
Tired from walking, we followed the crowd and casually walked into a local cuisine restaurant!
Didn't expect it to be so popular!
Sitting in the small courtyard at night is very comfortable~
Sea intestine rice, the sea intestines are fresh, tender, and smooth, and they taste especially good with rice!!
Big courtyard's signature meat
Duangduang's pork belly
The fat and lean parts are soft and glutinous, with the fragrance of preserved vegetables
Sweet but not greasy, this sauce has lured me to eat a lot of rice!
And there's the panda dessert, so cute and lovely!
