Take your hand and go far away together: charming Qingdao

I arrived in Qingdao at 8: 30 am on August 5. It has just rained outside, and the ground is wet and cold.

I want to come to Qingdao, not only because there is sea here, but also because Fan Bingbing's song "Birds" many years ago, the MV shot in Qingdao, and that beautiful story all left a deep influence on me. There is also the propaganda of "red tiles, green trees, blue sea and blue sky" in recent years, which is fascinating.

After consulting with my daughter with a map, I decided to leave. As long as there is a city with a sea, my daughter is very happy.

Take a bus from the airport and get off at Zhongshan Road. It's totally two temperatures. The sun is shining and the temperature rises sharply.

Book a hotel on Henan Road, not far from Zhongshan Road, put down your luggage, go out and find a bus to start a whole day's play.

I went to May 4th Square and Olympic Sailing Center first, because there was no competition and no wonderful scene as expected. During the visit, my heart saw a sign that said underwater world, and I immediately decided to go to underwater world. Although I think the underwater world in the whole country is similar, since it is a "big hand holding a small hand to travel", it is natural to respect the wishes and preferences of children.

Look for the stop sign, look for the means of transportation we travel, and never take a taxi where the bus can reach.

There are herbarium, aquarium, freshwater fish museum and jellyfish museum in the underwater world. Children are not interested in bidding for museums. When passing through the cross-harbour tunnel, they heard many children screaming "Wow, look". This close contact made them very excited. Looking up at all kinds of fish, there will be a feeling that fish are flying to the bottom of the sea. They are all swimming in the air.

Coming out of the cross-harbour tunnel, there is a performance hall outside. Maybe it's a matter of time. We don't like the performance, and my heart doesn't want to wait to see it. She felt bored. Maybe she has seen other cities before, so it is good for her to make her own decision. Continuing to the second floor, I jumped into the eye of this cylindrical exhibition tank, where colorful fish and corals live together, and the staff wearing diving suits are cleaning up those dirty rocks with small brushes.

In the peripheral exhibition area, beautiful and generous butterfly fish, elegant angel fish, playful and lovely clown fish, strange-looking stickleback fish and naive cannonball fish all attract children's attention. Bringing children here is the most correct choice. If children have never been to polar museum, they can choose the ocean polar world, which contains both underwater world and polar animals.

After coming out of the underwater world at four o'clock in the afternoon, we continued to watch the bus, and we chose to go to the trestle. Tourists shuttle on the trestle, and the bridge body probes into the depths of Qingdao Bay from the coast. The trestle bridge was built in the 18th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, and it is the earliest military-specific artificial wharf building in Qingdao. There is a two-story octagonal building called "Huilan Pavilion" in the dike.

The sea water near the trestle is dirty, the sand is thick and there are many aquatic plants. There are jet skis and water pedal bicycles here. In the evening, many people bought small buckets at the seaside to catch small crabs, shrimps and conchs, but they found two crabs the size of fingernails and a smaller snail, so small that I wouldn't notice them. She envies how others find everything so big, but what she finds is very small. It's getting dark. We're going back. It was not far from where we lived when we found it. We decided to walk around and go back for a walk. After walking for a long time, I suddenly said in my heart that she found the snail crawling all the time. She was afraid that it would climb out and die at night, saying that they missed the sea and their mother, and she would set it free. Although I feel very tired after a day's work, I still accompany her back to release her love and protect her.

Badaguan is a scenic spot that can best reflect the characteristics of Qingdao, such as "red tiles and green trees, blue sea and blue sky". The architectural style here is unique, bringing together the architectural styles of many countries, so it is known as the "World Architecture Expo".

The so-called Badaguan Pass is because there are eight roads (now increased to ten) named after the famous ancient pass in China. Ten quiet and cool roads crisscross, and now it is lush. I imagine that all flowers bloom in spring and cherry blossoms fall all over the earth; Autumn frost dyed maple red ginkgo floating yellow; Winter, it should be a different style.

This is a good place for a walk, and people are taking pictures everywhere. This is also a residential area. The courtyard is mostly private, and the walls of the courtyard are covered with green vines. I can't help but think of the poems of "the eaves are straight and the curtains are green, and the building seems to bully the ground" and "the ground is covered with brocade, and the purple flowers are woven on the green velvet". These vines alternate, and green plants, accompanied by buildings, have gone through spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Between Lulu and Lulu, according to the terrain, many large and small public gardens have been opened. The park and courtyard are perfectly integrated, with lush flowers and trees, fresh air, elegant environment, shady trees and lush foliage.

Badaguan has nearly 100 western-style villas with different shapes and unique and exquisite courtyard green space. The two most special scenic spots: Princess House and Huashi Mountain Villa. It is said that the Princess Building was built by a Danish prince for the princess, although the princess didn't come to live later. Do you feel the power of love? Do you think of Danish fairy tales?

Hua Shi Villa, where Chiang Kai-shek lived, is a typical European castle-style building with Gothic architectural characteristics. Standing on the roof of Huashi Villa, you can see the endless sea.

The second bathing beach is at the end of Badaguan. There are not many people here. There is a special dressing room and shower room, one person 30 yuan. The sea is clear, the beach is flat, the sand is soft and the beach is clean. At about ten o'clock in the morning, the sea is still very cold, but the children are in a hurry to get into the water, but after noon, the sun shines, and they can only get into the water at this time or after three or four in the afternoon. Personally, I think 12-4 is too hot and the ultraviolet rays are too strong.

My heart likes the sea. We didn't leave the beach until one o'clock and went back to the hotel for lunch break after dinner.

After getting up, I walked to Pichai Yuan and felt the amorous feelings of the old street. At the same time, I just wandered around. It is said that this is the most distinctive food and snack street in Qingdao. There are many time-honored restaurants and local famous foods here, and people are buzzing at night, so you can indulge in them regardless of the image.

My heart and I have never had the courage to try sea urchins and starfish, but this time we have the courage to eat them. Personally, I think sea urchin is ok. Like steamed egg cake, starfish is really fishy and bitter, but as a foodie, everything that has not been eaten is worth a try.

Discuss with my mind whether I can choose to take a one-day trip to Laoshan today. Xin didn't want to climb the mountain, so she chose to stay in the sea. We went to the first bathing beach early in the morning, and the bus went directly.

The first bathing beach is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with green trees and cages and clear water and blue sky. It's bigger than the second bathing beach and more people. Especially many local people, they had already swam up when we went. Judging from the ancient tung skin and groups of companions, it should be swimming often.

Tired of soaking in the sea, I went back to my lunch break at noon. Zhongshan Road, which I visited in the afternoon, is a commercial street. The pattern of "the north is for the foreign countries" makes Chinese and western cultures merge here, forming this century-old street. Many small shops with characteristics, especially those near the Catholic Church, have captured the hearts of many girls. There are photographers in front of the shop, and the shop is also a tourist who chooses small ornaments.

My heart and I both like this kind of store and don't let go of any one. It was already dark after the visit, and I wanted to go to Xiangshan to see the night scene. Just ask the locals, someone showed us the way, stopped and asked, and after seven or eight turns, we came to the front of the mountain. It was dark on the way up the mountain, and we were both a little scared and didn't dare to stay, so we climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath. There is a youth hostel and a meteorological station on the top of the mountain. This was during the German occupation and is still in use today.

To the top of the mountain, you can see the night view of the coast, and colorful lights turn Qingdao into a sea of light. The sea breeze is mixed with the cool and humid water vapor pavement of the ocean.

The temperature drops at night, and without the heat during the day, the city becomes more charming. The looming lights in the distance are like stars embedded in ribbons, and the sea and lights are intertwined to outline a beautiful picture.

On the observation deck, only an old couple are enjoying the scenery. They chatted with us enthusiastically and told me that they could see the scenery clearly at sunset and take beautiful photos. Pointing to all directions, I pointed out what is interesting and what is delicious. I also suggest that we go to Huangdao Golden Beach to have a beer festival. I also asked about Xi 'an's delicious food. The old couple went to Xi 'an when they were young, which had a great influence on Xi 'an's mutton buns. In this way, the four of us enjoyed the scenery, chatted and went down the mountain together. They live halfway up the mountain (not far from the mountain). When you were separated from us, you gave us a way. Let's walk across the street and take a bus.

I told my heart that I like chatting with these elderly locals. They have gone through many vicissitudes, experienced ups and downs with this city, and have the deepest feelings. In fact, I can tell from this aunt's eyes and words that she is a teacher. Unfortunately, she didn't tell me how she felt until after the separation, and I didn't have a chance to verify it again.

I didn't see it clearly in the dark because I went up the mountain too late yesterday. I got up early this morning, went out at six o'clock and climbed Xiangshan again. Sooner or later is really different. It rained a little in the middle of the night, the air was fresh, cicadas and birds sang all the way.

I saw wild flowers blooming by the roadside;

I saw a lady training her dog;

I saw henna blooming in front of the old house;

I saw the flowers of okra turn yellow;

I saw a middle school student practicing martial arts at the top of the mountain;

I saw St. Paul's Christian church at the foot of the mountain;

Under the shade of red tiles and green trees, I saw the scenery of Qingdao.

Good thing I'm here again.

Back to the hotel, the children have got up and cleaned up. She wants to continue to go to the seaside. Today, we will go surfing on the beach instead of going into the water. Then take a walk along the way. Next to the bathing place is Lu Xun Park, which comes out of naval museum, China. When we bought tickets (30 yuan's/Japanese's tickets), two little girls came forward and asked us if we needed a voluntary explanation. I saw a sign hanging on her chest that said "Little Volunteer". She may be nervous or not fully prepared. She stammered a few words and took out the manuscript and read it. My heart and I listened carefully. Children's participation in social practice is meaningful and worthy of great praise.

Then go to our final destination: Daxue Road.

University Road was built after Germany occupied Qingdao. The Germans called it Ostpas Street and the locals called it Dongguan Street. Qingdao University was founded in 1924, and was renamed China Ocean University in 2002. It is the only road named after an institution of higher learning in Qingdao-University Road.

Everything on the university road seems to be born purely for romance. There is no smell of economic prosperity here, but it is definitely not lacking in sentiment. It's interesting to stand on the street or hide in the yard. It is very comfortable to walk into a house and sit down and read.

University Road is hidden in the corner of a bustling city with roaring vehicles and unique posture. Quiet courtyard, strewn at random have send flowers and plants, both small and fresh, and playful and elegant.

Beautiful iron gates, flower baskets and blackboards at the entrance of the yard are all fresh and small. Along the yard, there are several outdoor tables, and cats are playing or sleeping in the yard, which makes people forget the impetuousness and noise of the city instantly.

I came across two places worth visiting when I was wandering along University Road. One is the former residence of Lao She. Camel Xiangzi Museum ",and the other is the" Art Museum "not far away.

Besides, Lao She's former residence is full of books, materials, manuscripts, his experiences, posters of movies, plays and TV plays made by his works, and so on. Reading carefully will be very rewarding. My daughter just learned Lao She's Camel Xiangzi some time ago, and she is happy to share her views with me.

Art gallery, you only need to register with your ID card to enter. There are four floors, each with different styles of works. I don't know art, but I still hope my children can see more in this place and learn to appreciate it quietly.

After coming out of the art gallery, my daughter also wants to find a bookstore to read books. Because I missed the plane on my previous trip and I was afraid of traffic jams, I finally chose to go to the airport first. There is a bookstore at the airport.

When I grow up, I basically listen to her when I go out. Of course, she will also take care of me. At the airport, I said sleep, and she said, "I won't sleep, you sleep, so as not to miss the plane like last time." That time let us all remember the lesson. I wrote it in those embarrassing things on the road. /p/304f 1da22e28？ hugo & amputm _ medium = reader _ share & amputm_content=note

Don't expect to know a city overnight, and Qingdao is the same. Its beauty needs to be tasted slowly. Kang Youwei's sentence, "The ancient castle in Xianshan, I'm afraid it's not as described in the poem", became a landmark comment on the island.

Finally, I will give you a summary (I hope it will be useful to you):

1, churches in Qingdao:

The Catholic Church and the Christian Church are solemn and simple, full of strong religious flavor. I have seen three churches around here. Personally, I don't think you should talk loudly when you walk in the church, let alone take pictures.

2. Qingdao Road:

Most of them are named after place names, such as Hunan Road, Tianjin Road, Henan Road, Guangxi Road and Beijing Road. We live in Henan Road, not far from the railway station, and we can go to Zhanqiao, Zhongshan Road and Pichai Yuan. There is a bus to the seaside, which is very convenient.

3. Traffic in Qingdao:

Bus, tram, subway. But the bus is circular, so you may take this stop when you go, and there may not be this stop when you come back. Be sure to see it clearly.

Note: I found a problem when I went out in recent years. It is difficult to take a taxi at any city station, but it usually takes five minutes to get it with Didi, and it is not expensive. We had an intravenous drip when we came back from the second bath.

4. Qingdao people

Qingdao people are very enthusiastic and practical. One of my favorite things to do is to ask people with your mouth open and ask them while walking. Even if the roadside stall is busy, he will answer you while he is busy. When we ask the bus driver on the bus, the people next to us will patiently tell us which stop to take, which stop to swim first and then which stop to transfer to. The couple I met on the mountain also talked enthusiastically about Qingdao and Xi 'an and felt the difference between the two places.

5. Is the sea water in Qingdao clean?

This is the question that people ask me the most, and then it seems to be a reference for considering whether to go or not. My general answer is the same: "places that I have never been to are worth seeing, and things that I have never eaten are worth tasting." Whether it is clean or not depends on where you compare it with the sea. You have to compare it with Maldives and Phuket. Of course it's not clean. The seawater in China is similar to that in China, unless some toll islands in Hainan are really clean. This depends entirely on personal cognition.

6. How much is it to Qingdao?

I'm not the kind of person who insists on eating delicious food and staying in a five-star hotel, and I'm not the kind of person who flaunts that he has spent very little money on many places. I just try to play by myself and be frugal. Most of the transportation is by bus, so we spent four days, accommodation+meals+air tickets, and ordinary families spent 5000 yuan.

7. What if a person is afraid to take his children out?

There are always classmates who say that I dare not take my children out alone. I'm afraid of getting lost. I'm even afraid to touch children, east and west, north and south, and I'm even more afraid. Don't worry about this. Everyone speaks Chinese and doesn't go abroad. First, you can ask if you don't know; Second, use mobile navigation. For example, when we get off to find a hotel, we all rely on navigation. Third, you should habitually buy a big map wherever you go. Oh, look more when you are free. Every time I look at it, I can see something different, and there are always small surprises. Fourth, get to know the city before you go. Now that Baidu is so convenient, make a rough plan and choose a moderate location to live in. It's normal to change when you go to play. Passengers just want to meet the unknown, and there are always some accidents waiting for you.
