What is the happiest city in Shandong? I'm afraid no one can say for sure, but the "2021 China's Happiest Cities List" released in January tells us the answer, it is Qingdao and Weihai.
It is very strange that the list is not selected for the list of Shandong's provincial capital Jinan, according to the reason, Jinan should also be selected, I have been in Jinan for more than 1 month, the impression of this spring city is very good.
Then again, Qingdao and Weihai are equally outstanding. Qingdao is the most famous city in Shandong, and its reputation among tourists has always been very high, worthy of the name of "the happiest city".
If you want to choose a city that best represents the character of Shandong people, it is Qingdao. The people here have a cheerful personality, free nature, it is easy to make friends with them, Qingdao dialect is also a model of Shandong dialect, full of charm, stay in Qingdao for a long time will also learn a few Qingdao dialect.
As a coastal city, Qingdao has a good climate, with flowers in spring, moon in summer, wind in autumn, snow in winter, four distinct seasons, and no extreme weather. As a northern city, Qingdao's climate does not have the long summer and winterless summer of Sanya, nor the four seasons of Kunming, but it is also suitable for living, the winter is not cold, and the summer is not hot.
It is now January, which is also the coldest season in Qingdao, with an average temperature of about -3 °C -5 °C, and basically above zero degrees during the day. Compared with the southern cities, the temperature here is relatively cold, but Qingdao has heating, the house is very warm, and the winter climate is dry, as long as you wear thick clothes outside, it will not be cold.
One of the benefits of living in Qingdao is that there are many scenery to see. The famous Badaguan, a romantic literary and artistic Republic of China architectural complex, no matter the spring, summer, autumn and winter have a scenery, there is nothing to take pictures here, take a walk, the mood will be much better.
Qingdao's bay is also the most beautiful in the north, the quality of golden beaches can be comparable to Sanya, you can come to see the sunrise in spring and autumn, and you can swim at the beach in summer. Most of the attractions in Qingdao are free, and the beach is also free, no wonder the people of this city are so happy.
Weihai is a popular "net red" city in recent years, and it is quieter and more exquisite than Qingdao. Weihai is located at the eastern tip of the Shandong Peninsula, facing the sea in the north, east and south, with a population of only 2.9 million, no bustling traffic, only a quiet and peaceful life.
Weihai is characterized by cleanliness, is China's first national sanitary city, the local people are of high quality, never litter on the road, the city environmental protection is very good. Walking on the streets of Weihai, there is a kind of Japanese neatness, Weihai people seem to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, can not tolerate a little mess.
The latitude of Weihai is higher than that of Qingdao, and the temperature is 2 °C lower, but the summer is cooler, and the role of ocean regulation is more obvious, reflecting the climatic characteristics of cold spring, cool summer, warm autumn and warm winter.
Weihai is a small city suitable for the elderly, everyone's pace is very slow, the spacious street goes directly to the seaside, you can run along the sea in the morning, life is very comfortable.
For northerners, if you're used to the humid climate of the south and don't want to get too far from home, both cities are great places to retire.
When I play in Qingdao, I often see northeast restaurants on the side of the road, especially in the northeast dumpling restaurant, the boss is mostly a northeast couple, while doing some small business in Qingdao pension, in the conversation with them, I feel that they are very satisfied with life here.
Weihai's pension advantage is that the cost of living is very low, seafood and house prices are cheaper than Qingdao, uncles and aunts who like quiet can buy a house by the sea, facing the sea, spring blossoms, spend a warm and comfortable old age.
What do you think of Qingdao and Weihai? Can I qualify for the list of happiest cities?
