Why do some northerners always say Qingdao every time they mention going to see the sea?

Why do some northerners always say Qingdao every time they mention going to see the sea?

I have been to Qingdao in every season, and I would like to share my experience here!

Now Qingdao has been promoted to a new first-tier city, and is expected to become a separate city in the near future. It is developing rapidly. In addition, last year's G20 Summit brought another development opportunity to Qingdao.

Why do northerners like to go to Qingdao to see the sea? I think it’s because of their living habits! Because Qingdao also belongs to the north, the climate is more suitable for northerners who like a drier place to live for a long time. I have heard that students who went to school in the south said that after returning home during the summer vacation, hair would grow on the inside of the shoes and the clothes would not be dry. I still think we are better in the north!

Qingdao not only has rich seaside tourism resources, but also has cultural highlights.

First, marine tourism resources are rich. In summer, the coastline of Huangdao District in Qingdao is full of people. The large bathing beach is bustling with people, men, women and children. There are also two ocean theme parks and three ocean theme museums for children to broaden their horizons. There are many mountains on the coastline of Qingdao. There are many places where you can choose to climb mountains and watch the sea. You will definitely feel like Cao Cao "looking at the Jieshi in the east to watch the sea".

The second is cultural heritage. Qingdao became a German-occupied area in the hands of the Qing government. The Germans built a powerful underground pipe gallery project here, making Qingdao's ability to cope with waterlogging a highlight. More German-style buildings have also been built. Now when you walk in the old areas of Qingdao, you can still see many Western villas, many of which are former residences of celebrities. Besides, Qingdao is one of the birthplaces of Taoism in China, and the Taoist priests from Mount Laoshan are very famous. Qingdao people are also very good in culture, film and television, such as Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Fan Bingbing, Tang Guoqiang, Song Jia, Song Qian, Chen Hao, etc. The Starlight Island in Huangdao District is even more dazzling. Beer culture is also unique. The annual Oktoberfest is a carnival for beer lovers all over the world.

The third is diet. Whether you like each place and whether you are used to it, apart from the climate, the most important thing is the food. Qingdao’s local food is also more in line with the tastes of northerners, and the most famous Shandong pancakes are also in line with northerners’ habit of eating noodles.

The fourth is housing prices. Housing prices in Qingdao are cheaper than in some big cities. I still like to live in Huangdao District. Houses in Huangdao District are not expensive. If you think they are expensive, you can consider nearby places such as Jiaonan. If you want to go further, Yantai and Weihai are also good choices.

Northerners can’t stand the sultry heat and humidity in the south, but they still like to watch the sea in northern cities. It’s that simple.

I am also planning to buy a property in Qingdao. Friends, will you consider it?

I am not from the north! But I believe that everyone who has seen the sea in Qingdao will fall in love with her!

I don’t know how to describe it, the first time I saw the sea in Qingdao! At that time, I was still a small tour guide and took more than 20 people on a one-night cross-sea ferry ride in Liaoning across the Bohai Sea to Yantai! Then we took the tourist bus to Qingdao. As a southerner, I have always had an inexplicable confidence in our sea before seeing the sea in Qingdao. Our sea and our beaches are known as "Oriental Hawaii"!

But the northern temperate monsoon climate sea, I was completely conquered the moment I saw her; she was like a young girl sitting by the West Lake playing the piano, gentle and elegant; not like that in the south The slightly muddy feeling is completely pure and peaceful!

I have been to several countries in tropical areas abroad. I always thought that it is difficult to have such clear and pure sea water in the coastal areas of mainland China! When I came to Qingdao, I realized that my understanding was so ignorant and ridiculous! I really can’t believe that such clear water can be seen along the coast of mainland China!

That time I brought a conference group to Qingdao for a meeting, so during those three days I sent the leaders to the meeting site, and I liked to buy Tsingtao beer in plastic bags ( The feeling of drinking with a straw is amazing. An uncle on the roadside taught me. I don’t know if he was trying to trick me.) Sitting on the beach (I forgot what it was called, there is a yacht base next door anyway) wearing headphones on one side and feeling The slightly dry sea breeze in the north looks at the quiet and calm sea;

I don’t know what other people think. I also see the sea in the south, but it is rare to see this quiet and calm sea. The feeling of surprise is like an elegant and quiet beauty having a gentle conversation with you;

In just three days (actually less than two and a half days), I could only rush to the Tsingtao Beer Museum and I briefly walked around the streets of Qingdao (very interesting naming method). This is a city as clean and peaceful as the sea (I really don’t have time to understand its history in detail)! I hope I have the opportunity to spend an annual vacation there in 2019!

Because I don’t know where I put my previous mobile phone, so I can only find the only photos on the hard drive. . . . Qingdao is really beautiful. .

Speaking of northerners going to Qingdao to see the sea, it seems to be true. Going to Shandong with a tour group and finally taking a boat to Dalian in Qingdao seems to be a very popular route.

In fact, when it comes to seeing the sea, the biggest choice around Beijing is to go to Beidaihe. It is relatively close and is very convenient whether by car or train. For people living in Beijing , a 2-hour drive is like taking a bus or subway. But Beidaihe is too crowded. In the golden tourist season of summer, going to Beidaihe is like boiling dumplings, and the food is not that rich.

I first went to Beidaihe three times in two years, but the experience got worse and worse. Finally, I chose to go to Qingdao. The drive to Qingdao is only about 5 hours, which is only 2 hours longer than going to Beidaihe. , but the feeling of Qingdao is very different. Qingdao is a very big city. You can not only feel the beauty of a coastal city in Qingdao, but it is also a metropolis with everything you need.

Qingdao is a very beautiful coastal city, so it is best to go in summer, because you can go in the water in summer. There are many bathing beaches in Qingdao, and they are all free. After I chose not to go to Beidaihe, I have been going to Qingdao for vacation in the summer for three consecutive years. The transportation in Qingdao is very convenient, and I don’t spend too much time on the road.

We will definitely bring a tent when we go, because when we go to the beach, we will most likely stay at the beach for a day. We can set up a tent to take a rest. Basically, we get up in the morning and go after breakfast. When going to the beach, bring something to eat, eat some snacks at the beach at noon, and go back before lunch in the afternoon. There won’t be too many queues for many famous meals.

Qingdao has a lot of snacks, seafood, Shandong cuisine, and a variety of other delicacies, so there are many places to choose from. There are also many famous night markets. It is also great to visit the night markets at night. .

Another thing in Qingdao is beer. You can drink a wide variety of beers. Although online shopping is much more convenient now, the feeling of going to Qingdao and beer is different.

After dinner in the evening, you can take a walk on the seawall and enjoy the sea breeze, which is very relaxing.

I have stayed in Qingdao for almost 10 years! On my first day here, I took a bus from Sifang Bus Station to Zhanqiao Beach. It was so beautiful! ! ! ! That winter, I ran away from home and spent the New Year here! ! Then I slowly started to go to other places...and gradually fell in love with it! I started living on Sifang Ninghua Road for 300 yuan a month...it was just too humid! I’m starting to get used to it! Maybe it’s because of the first floor! Go back to the beach every week! I am in a better mood... Now I am staying in Huangdao...

The question asked by the questioner is a bit "narrow". Should it be rewritten as: Why do many people want to see the sea and say go to Qingdao? Not only northerners, but also southerners, right? This may be more appropriate.

Why is Qingdao so attractive? Let’s talk about Switzerland first. The world unanimously praises Switzerland as "the most beautiful!" in the world, a unique paradise scenery! Using it as a reference, Qingdao has been compared to the Switzerland of the East. A map of China's provinces, Shandong page introduced, "There is no severe cold in winter, no scorching heat in summer, a pleasant climate, and a beautiful environment..." (see Map Publishing House, 1953.3; page 10 of the first edition). And "red tiles, green trees, blue sea and blue sky", in the early 1950s, was called "the Switzerland of the East, the Geneva of China". Is this "second half of the sentence" gradually forgotten and abandoned? But it doesn’t matter – it shows people praising the scenery and architecture, and its beauty. The beautiful words with European and German charm are even more catchy... There are also literati who compare Qingdao to the Hawaii of the East. It can be seen that any coastal city or landscape that is called beautiful, spectacular and majestic by the world will be comparable to Qingdao. In fact, Hawaii can hardly be called the second most beautiful place in the world. Anyone who has been to many Pacific island countries must know this well. It seems that the propaganda effect is exaggerated and deception is spread through deception, which is extremely powerful.

If you are "free to travel", come to Qingdao to see the sea scenery, Zhanqiao (Changhong Yuanyin), Huilan Pavilion (Double Flying Eaves Pavilion), Xiao Qingdao (Qinyu Floating Lantern), Lu Xun Park (Peng Hu Shenglan), Badaguan (Yuxian Scenic Spot), Zhongshan Park (Spring Cherry Blossoms and Feiyun), and the famous sea mountain Laoshan. There are nine palaces, eight views and seventy-two nunneries in the Dingsheng period; it is known as "the house of gods and supernatural beings". ...Actually, you don’t need to list the scenic spots one by one. Just buy a map (or download it on your mobile phone) and click on it to search. It has everything. It’s very complete. If you are traveling in a group, you should not leave out any of the items you should visit! How dare the tour guide miss or forget? The travel agency defines the industry's travel standards as six major elements - food, accommodation, transportation, travel, entertainment, and shopping (for the sake of smooth conversation and good memory). In fact, “touring” is the first (biggest) purpose! In China, some people often compare Dalian, Xiamen and Qingdao; they even force Yantai, Weihai or Qinhuangdao to be compared, or even drag Tianjin (Tanggu, 41.8 to 50 kilometers away) into the comparison? Is this on the same level? Just like weightlifting events are divided into "light and heavyweight", you must first weigh yourself on the scale before you can "win" and then be called a hero, right? Not on the same level at all. To summarize everything without considering the rest, I would like to point out that Dalian Xinghai Park beach has large grains of sand beans and no powder-like fine sand; Yantai, Weihai, and Qinhuangdao are not only small cities, but also have small beaches, or only " "One side" is the sea! Winter is all "snow nest!" Xiamen has beautiful sea views. But can outsiders tolerate the hot, humid and stuffy climate in the south? Qingdao is surrounded by the sea on three sides. In summer, the air here is cool despite the scorching heat and high temperatures in other places. Therefore, it is a summer resort and health resort. As early as the early 1950s, the Chinese Textile Workers Sanatorium, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Sanatorium, sea therapy, air therapy, post and telecommunications, Yaner Island, Jimo Hot Spring, Beijiushui and other sanatoriums were all located here.

Looking abroad: the Swiss scenery (with many lakes) is indeed beautiful. Small and exquisite villas and houses are located near mountains and rivers. However, what is lacking is "there is a lake but no sea".

The lake is as level as a mirror. You will never see the incomparable magnificence and splendor of the waves "emptying the turbid waves and rolling up thousands of piles of snow".

Most people who have been to Hawaii, especially inland people who saw the sea for the first time, will fall in love with it. However, people who have lived by the sea in Qingdao since childhood disagree. Because Hawaii state government regulations and decrees clearly state that the coastal natural scenery is not allowed to be changed and the original ecology must be maintained. Therefore, what you see is that the original scenery is preserved. It looks very ancient, vicissitudes of life, old, uncarved and untouched. Others, such as Nice in France, have no beaches at all! People can only sit, lie down, or lie on "gravel" that is not pebbles. There is a beach on the beach in Barcelona, ??Spain, but the surrounding scenery is far different from Qingdao. Australia's Gold Coast has soft sandy beaches that are comfortable to walk on. But the "background" in the distance is water and sky. There is no island or mountain as a backdrop. ...This is the reality.

It is evident from Germany’s intention to choose Qingdao (Jiao’ao) as the only place on the Chinese coastline to build a wharf, seaport and market. In 1899, the German occupying authorities named the new urban area of ??the leased area Qingdao (Jiaoao). Relying on an unequal treaty, the lease signed with the Qing government was for 99 years. Its urban design and planning vision are ambitious; it wants to build a model city in Asia, the Far East, and Europe and Germany! ...

Therefore, the Badaguan "World Architecture Expo" that combines German, Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque styles, and was still built according to the German model in the 1930s... Railway Station , police station, Imperial Court, Jiaoao Post Office, Governor's Palace, Governor's Mansion, churches and other buildings all present European and German style. Qingdao is also the "only" city in my country with German-style architecture. The State Council has established a group of German classic buildings, as evidenced by the stone plaque of a key cultural relic protection unit. Qingdao is a coastal open city, a sub-provincial city, Shandong's economic leader, one of the eight international conference centers; and the most beautiful harbor in China and the first livable city in China. ...There are many names, and they are really not self-titled. Even though the locals feel proud and proud, or occasionally "brag" about it! But after all, good reputation is not something you say by yourself, but is given by experts, public opinion or the country.

When taking a car, boat or plane in China, you often hear this sound - ah, Qingdao, a great place! For example, after traveling abroad, most people sigh after returning home - why do they think foreign cities are not as good as Qingdao? (Excluding those who don’t say that my hometown is good, that a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as a grass nest at home, and the concept of loving home.) In fact, trains are not pushed, and cowhide is not blown. The "sea view" scenery is clearly there. After all, Qingdao is very "foreign!" There is a saying that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. This rhyming attributive? Furthermore, it is said that Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Yangshuo's scenery is the best in Guilin... In fact, it is not advisable to lump them together for evaluation. One side is antique, the other side is foreign exotic flavor. Parallel, no intersection. It is completely different from the same type of cityscape. Speaking of this, it seems that there is a lot of "self-promotion"! Then let me expose some of the shortcomings and deficiencies of the Qingdao natives. Qingdao dialect is often criticized by outsiders as being really ugly! Probably the locals generally accept it. The smell of the sea makes some men and women more bold and gentle, which is slightly different from Shanghai, the largest city in my country. In the summer, there are people who drink beer and get excited and take off their clothes shirtless. But what if a stranger asks for directions? Someone generously sends you right there! It's also not just nonsense. The performance is indeed friendly and hospitable.

In addition, eating, shopping, accommodation, entertainment, and transportation are all very convenient after you enjoy the sea. So, after traveling around China or traveling around the world... I am afraid that there are not a few people who fall in love with Qingdao (the sea) at first sight.

Lucerne, Switzerland and Interlaken: Comparing the lakes and mountains with Hanauma Bay, Hawaii, the latter has average sea views! (Last picture, Hawaii attractions).

There are many coastal cities in the north, but the only real coastal cities are Dalian, Qingdao, Yantai, and Weihai. These four cities have their main urban areas right on the seaside. Reluctantly adding Tianjin.

However, Dalian, Yantai and Weihai have few other tourism resources except seaside tourism resources.

Even Qinhuangdao, which is famous for its bathing beaches, is just a beach tourism. Although Tianjin has many scenic spots, it has few seaside tourism resources and is not a city suitable for seaside tourism.

Qingdao is the city with the most bathing beaches in the north and even in the country. It not only has 9 public bathing beaches, but also ranks second among the top five bathing beaches in Asia. In addition, there are two ocean theme parks and three There is a maritime theme museum and more than a dozen excellent locations for mountain climbing and sea viewing. Many people who don’t know Qingdao think that Qingdao only has beaches and sea to play in. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Qingdao is one of the ten cities with the most 4A and above scenic spots in the country, including Lu Xun Park and St. Michael’s Cathedral. , Badaguan, Olympic Sailing Base, Zhongshan Park, Naval Museum, Tsingtao Beer Museum, World Expo Park, Polar Ocean World, Fantawild Dream Kingdom, Underwater World, Aquarium, Seafood Museum, Governor's Mansion, Little Qingdao, Signal Hill, Xiaoyu Mountain Park, Stone Man Sightseeing Park, TV Tower, Taipingjiao Park, Tangdaowan National Wetland Park, Oriental Film City, German Prison Site, Road Traffic Museum, Bellin Natural Museum, German Style Street, International Beer City... the main urban area In addition, there are Zhushan National Forest Park, Laoshan Mountain, Beijiushui, Langyatai, Zangma Mountain, Jimo Ancient City, Chashan, and Shaohai New City. In addition to these scenic spots, there are also a lot of former residences of celebrities and a lot of hot spring resorts. Tourism resources are very rich. The concentration of tourism resources on this scale is second to none among seaside cities in the country, so it will naturally be regarded as the first choice for seaside tourism in the north.

In addition, let’s take a look at the reasons why most coastal cities in the north cannot develop seaside tourism. This is because most of the coastal cities in the north are distributed around the Bohai Sea, and the mouth of the Yellow River is in the Bohai Sea. The impact zone of the Yellow River Delta is hundreds of kilometers along it. The water quality and sand quality of the coastline have a significant impact. Especially coastal cities such as Cangzhou, Binzhou and Dongying not only have no natural beaches, but also have poor water quality and more sand and gravel offshore. In addition, the urban areas are far from the seaside, so they are called coastal cities. , but it is actually impossible to develop seaside tourism.

There are actually quite a few cities along the northern coast, including Qinhuangdao, Dalian, Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai, Rizhao, Lianyungang and other tourist cities. I have been to these cities, so why do I say I have to go to Qingdao to see the sea?

In terms of sea water, Qingdao can basically be in the top three, incomparable with Hainan, but many places are still quite clean, and with the surrounding buildings and scenery, Qingdao and Weihai should be in my mind. The best looking. After living in Dalian for four years, I feel that the seaside is a bit monotonous. Due to geological reasons, the beaches are not as good as those in Qingdao and Beidaihe.

Are you telling the truth? When northerners want to see the sea, they only mention Qingdao every time? There are too many seaport cities in the north. Some people say that the only seaside cities are Dalian, Qingdao, Yantai and Weihai. So isn’t Jinzhou a port city? Isn’t Qinhuangdao a port city? What about Jingtang Port? Yingkou is also a traditional old port. Now the old port area of ??Yingkou may not be viable. In the 1980s, ships with thousands of tons could not enter, so Bayuquan Port was later built -

Northeasterners can go to Yingkou Bayuquan, Jinzhou, Dalian, and even Huludao (which has a shipyard, and China Shipping has many Ning'an ships in the past) (several boats were built there) to see the sea there;

Jingtang Port

People from Hebei and Inner Mongolia, You can go to Qinhuangdao, Tanggu in Tianjin (the so-called Tianjin Port is actually in Tanggu, and the straight line from Tanggu to Tianjin on the Baidu map is about 40 to 50 kilometers long, so we usually only call it Tanggu, not Tianjin), and Longkou Port. You can see the sea from , Jingtang Port and Caofeidian Port;

Penglai

People from Henan and Shandong want to see the sea. Those who are close to the Bohai Bay can go to coastal port cities such as Huanghua Port, Weihai, Yantai, Penglai, etc. Those who are close to the Yellow Sea will go to Qingdao.

Gulangyu Island

For Shanghainese, it is good to go to Qingdao to see the sea. You can also take a boat to Dalian, which is also good, or in the winter, it is also good to go to Xiamen in the south to see the sea.

Qingdao Zhanqiao

So, I don’t understand. Do northerners really only go to Qingdao to see the sea? Unless you like the view of Qingdao Zhanqiao, it would be silly.

Come to Qingdao not only to see the sea, but also to see the European-style buildings and Laoshan Mountain. Qingdao was once a German colony, but later Germany was beaten away by Japan. Otherwise, Qingdao would have returned in the same year as Hong Kong. During the German colonial period, 19 European countries planned and built Qingdao in Qingdao, so Qingdao’s European architectural style has 19 The "Badaguan" scenic spot in Qingdao is known as the "Architecture Expo of All Nations", and the only one that can rival Qingdao is Gulangyu Island in Xiamen. There are 6 bathing beaches in the urban area of ??Qingdao alone, and the longest one is 3 kilometers long. Qingdao is warm in winter and cool in summer. The highest temperature in summer is only about 28 degrees. Qingdao hosts the largest festival in Asia in July and August - Qingdao International Beer Festival. Qingdao is the headquarters of the North Sea Fleet. The most famous aircraft carrier Liaoning is stationed in Qingdao. Base, Qingdao is rated as the most beautiful harbor in China and the first livable city in China. Traveling is not just about seeing the sea, there are many sights to enjoy together. In Qingdao, you can see the sea, take a bath in the sea, visit various styles of European buildings, chat with the "Laoshan Taoist", and participate in During the Oktoberfest, you can drink China's most famous Tsingtao beer and eat various seafood. If you are lucky, you may be able to see the Liaoning. Come to Qingdao to escape the summer heat when barbecues are everywhere and you will know what life is like.

First of all, the most important thing should be reputation. Among the northern coastal cities, whether it is Dalian and Lianyungang outside the province, or Yantai, Weihai, and Weifang Rizhao within the province, Qingdao is undoubtedly the most famous. With such a great reputation, it will naturally become the most famous. It is more attractive to mainland tourists.

The second is the city’s economic strength, which is undoubtedly Qingdao. Qingdao’s economic strength determines the government’s ability to invest more money to develop tourism. Like Sea World and Wildlife Park, they are all ahead of other cities in the country.

Furthermore, Qingdao’s transportation should be relatively developed.
