Every trip carries the throbbing of youth, the touch of dreams, and the heartbeat of love. Looking along the most beautiful golden coastline, large white windmills are turning with the wind. The clear blue sky, the crystal clear turquoise water, kissed into a sea horizon. The red wooden boardwalk draws a beautiful and winding line. The rising tide of the sea washes away the smooth reef on the shore over and over again. In the afternoon, the sparkling sea holds up a golden broken diamond. Immersed in the endless scenery of the cruise ship, unconsciously drifted to the opposite island. Stand tall and look far away, swallow the mountains and the sea.
This is the "Switzerland of the East" - Qingdao.
This is the "wonderland on earth" - Yantai.
This is the "Thousand Mile Coast" - Weihai.
This is the beautiful scenery of the Shandong Peninsula that has never been appreciated, and those niche islands are large.
Since then, I have never longed for Saipan again.
DAY.1
After meeting in Qingdao, take the tour guide to the hotel and cherish the free time of the day.
Go to the beach, smell the salty sea breeze, drink a refreshing Tsingtao beer, and sit on the shore to watch the sunset slowly fall. There are many newlyweds taking wedding photos on the blue seashore, all the way to the Catholic Church, which is a beautiful background board. As the sun sets, the pair of backlit silhouettes is even more beautiful. I once heard people say that Qingdao is a city suitable for love, and at this moment, I admit that I have begun to yearn for that kind of life. For dinner, go to a small shop with many people to eat seafood and make sure you don't get slaughtered.
"Little Man'er, here we go." The host was very welcoming, this is my first impression of the city, is the unique realism and enthusiasm of Shandong people, not deliberately contrived, there is a sense of belonging to home. At night, sit on a bench in May Fourth Square and watch the night sky dotted with stars. All the high-rise buildings in the surrounding area are lit up, and the one after another light paintings make the whole night instantly fall into prosperity. Calm down and walk around, watch the clouds cirrus and listen to the tide rise and fall.
Night view of Qingdao
DAY.2
Qingdao - Penglai
< 1> walk through the landmark buildings along the coast of Qingdao and feel the different European architectural style.
<2> Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea at the turn of spring and summer, there are often sea markets and seas, which are illusory and beautiful.
Trestle
Trestles feed seagulls
The first stop of the trip came to Qingdao's landmark building - Zhanqiao. The bridge plunges from the coast into the depths of Qingdao Bay like a crescent moon, like a long rainbow lying on the sea, swirling in the blue sea.
Strolling on the trestle, you can deeply feel that it has been baptized by the years, it is a recorder of Qingdao's occupation by the German army, and it is also a witness to qingdao's rapid development!
By the side of the trestle where thousands of sails run out, there are many tourists all year round, and there are as many seagulls as tourists, which is very spectacular.
Eight levels
Overlooking Badaguan, there are lush trees everywhere, and flowers blooming in all seasons. "Red tiles and green trees, blue sea and blue sky" have been best interpreted here.
May wind
Before the "May Wind", I always think of she's "Mayday", the best season, and some time should be "wasted".
PS: Today's lunch, of course, is a seafood dinner. A pot of steamed seafood that is about to overflow, the billowing steam is emitted in the air, and the delicious fishy smell is emitted. The only criterion for testing whether seafood is fresh is steaming. The best ingredients often require only the most simple cooking methods. Original, endless aftertaste.
After lunch, take a bus to Penglai. The three-hour drive was not boring and the view was beautiful. But for the next trip, you can also take a nap and recharge your batteries.
When I arrived in Penglai, I first came to the Eight Immortals Scenic Area. This gourd island, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides, has a bridge of eight immortals, which closely connects the human world with the fairyland.
Eight Immortals Bridge
The famous poet Su Shi once wrote a sentence praising the city of Penglai here: "The clouds and seas in the east are empty, and the immortals are haunted by the void." Shake the floating world and live in vientiane, there is a Bei Que Hidden Pearl Palace. ”
The whole scenic spot floats on the sea, there is a sea in the scenery, and there is a scene in the sea.
Say hello to the seagulls
The poem "I overheard that there are immortal mountains on the sea, and the mountains are in the void" describes the scene I saw.
Dotted fishing sails and shore scenery, flocks of seagulls hovering in the air, attracting countless tourists to stop and admire.
The dividing line between the Yellow and Bohai Sea will be obvious when the weather is clear, and the sea on both sides is clear on one side and turbid on the other, which really makes people unconsciously lament the magic of nature.
A scene of sunset
The sunset is the same as the sea and the sky
The sunset is stunning
In the evening, Penglai Pavilion seems to have a more fairyland feeling. The setting sun reflects the twilight of the sunset, and the sea is orange-red. The wide lake is mirror-like, and small boats lean against the lonely shore. The clouds are gone, and the evening breeze is accustomed. Penglai Wonderland pulls out a silent shadow in the ethereal twilight.
Penglai is rich in fresh seafood, freshly made, so it is better to try Penglai's seafood for dinner. Although they are all coastal cities, the dining tastes of each city are slightly different. There are Sailors' Mansion and Polar Ocean World nearby, so you can also walk around if you are not tired. However, it is also recommended to go back to the hotel early to rest and continue to leave tomorrow morning to catch the next stop.
DAY.3
Weihai
< 1> get a glimpse of Yangma Island, known as the "Hawaii of the East", and you can ride around the island and enjoy the natural scenery.
< 2> took the wind and waves, took a boat to Liugong Island, pinjia afternoon wind and clouds, remembering the history of the country.
After breakfast at the hotel in the morning, we will drive to Weihai. Some people say that when you come to Shandong, you must not miss Weihai. A bustling city and a half city sea. Weihai's coastline is very long, the scenery along the way is very beautiful, a casual pat, send a circle of friends, someone will ask: "Are you going to Kamakura?" ”
Yangma Island
The first stop is Yangma Island.
In recent years, Yangma Island has become a new landmark for leisure and vacation, thanks to the pleasant climate of no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer. With beautiful scenery, blue sky and wide sea, "Hawaii of the East" is indeed worthy of the name.
The sea and the sky are colorful, and it is like entering a paradise. At dusk, the square is quiet and leisurely, and the sunset shades the sky pink and orange, making it a great place to watch the sunset.
Yangma Island Cross-Sea Bridge
Yangma Island Cross-Sea Bridge is the first cross-sea bridge in Jiaodong area.
This 80-kilometer coastal tourist belt, from the heights, you will be amazed by this incomparably wide view. Regarding this small island, I believe that 90% of people do not know, and countless people have missed the beautiful scenery because they hurried by.
Zhangdao Island
There is a large reef with a 100-meter radius exposed to the sea, and the low tide is connected to Yangma Island, which is Zhangdao Island.
Strange stone
Here are strange rocks, the scenery is unique, is the beauty of Yantai's private island. Overlooking the entire island, the wooden boardwalk winds and winds into the turquoise sea, and with a casual shot, it is a large piece.
panorama
The biggest difference between Weihai and other coastal cities is that the sea here is clean and photogenic.
Clear
The water is crystal clear, and colorful pebbles dot the vast expanse of the seabed. From a distance, it looks like a giant gem factory, and the sun shines down and reflects a dazzling light.
PS: For lunch, we went to a weihai long-established private dish - a piece of tofu. The reputation of this store is very high, and the local repeat customers who come here did not expect to successfully pull grass by the first time they came to Weihai. Tofu, soy milk and wotou are the main features of the store, which seem to be unremarkable, but it is difficult to find the taste in this life.
After the meal, we embarked on a new journey in the afternoon , Liugong Island.
Take a boat trip to Liugong Island
The boat ride into the island takes about twenty minutes, and you can stand on the deck of the boat and catch a glimpse of the rough seas.
A warm scene
On the grass by the dock, such a sweet picture will also arouse the yearning for love in your heart. But people always suddenly fall in love with each other, and suddenly do not love. I would like to make your exception, do you want to be my favorite?
Magnificent
At the first glance of the island, you will definitely be attracted by the unique shape of the majestic atmosphere of the Sino-Japanese War Museum. It creatively integrates the main building symbolizing the Beiyang naval vessel with the majestic statue of the Beiyang admiral, which is very visually impactful.
Wanghai Tower has been the tallest building on Liugong Island for more than 700 years. The ancients once left a poem for Wanghai Lou that "the sound rhymes and rumors wanghai lou".
Walking down the 32 steps from the Wanghai Tower, the British Rental Weihaiwei History Museum appeared in front of the eyes. The British forcibly leased Weihai for 32 years, and after taking back Weihai, they renewed the lease of Liugong Island for 10 years. These 32 steps symbolize Weihaiwei's 32-year history of humiliation.
Forever solid sea frontier
Turning this page of history, I deeply feel the bitterness of Weihaiwei being forcibly leased. I believe that any aware Chinese will have a sharp pain. I think that in the future, I will definitely bring my descendants here and remember this unsinkable battleship forever.
PS: After arranging your stay in the afternoon, you can find a local restaurant for dinner. Weihai is also rich in seafood, but compared with other cities, the cooking of fish in Weihai will be more exquisite and careful. The steamed boss fish is delicate and fragrant, and the whole fish is very flavorful; salted fish cake is a special dish that can be used as a staple food, the protagonist is salted mackerel, served with tortillas, white noodles and coarse grain steamed buns, or pickles. Spring onions and radish strips dipped in shrimp paste, followed by a mouthful of fragrant but not greasy toon braised meat, each bite is unexpectedly stunning; the size of the mackerel dumplings really surprised me, a dumpling is more than the palm of the hand, and it is full of mackerel meat paste filling, almost fresh eyebrows. A dumpling is under the belly, and half of the stomach is full.
After eating and drinking, it is also a good choice to walk back to the hotel along the seaside. Take a hot shower, fully charge your camera and phone, get up tomorrow morning, and start your day.
DAY.4
Weihai-Rongcheng
<1> go to the easternmost bay in China and watch a sunrise!
< 2> eating seafood caught by myself, the taste is really different! There's also a delicious puffer fish feast that's hard to find, and it's worth it!
< 3> punch in the filming location of "Where Daddy Goes" - Jiming Island, and feel the simple and romantic island slow life.

Morning sunshine
Wake up early in the morning, pull back the curtains, and instantly plunge into a strong light. Nice weather for going to sea.
Sea house
It is said that the fishermen here "eat, wear and live" in wooden houses floating in the sea all year round. Work at sunrise, rest at sunset, and cultivate the sea.
Seafood picking area
There is a free picking area here, and you can finally experience the joy of fishermen!
Fat or not?
Oysters, scallops, sea cucumbers, pufferfish, blackheads... It's the time to be big and fat.
The harvested "booty" is personally owned and can be processed by noon in the restaurant. Eating your own hand-caught food, that feeling is really different!
Water park
The sea recreation area is a water park for children. Fishing, picking, entertaining, eating, and bringing your kids here can really make a different journey.
Seaside restaurant
Delicious toot fish
Three or two branches of peach blossoms outside the bamboo, spring river plumbing duck prophet. Artemisia annua is full of short reed buds, which is when the puffer fish wants to go up. It is said that "eating puffer fish, the taste is not fresh", the deliciousness of puffer fish meat has become the "mink cicada" in the Chinese food industry, the more dangerous, the more coveted.
Song Dynasty Mei Yaochen's "Puffer Fish" poem Yun: "Spring continent is full of ogi buds, and spring shores fly poplar flowers." Puffer fish when it is, expensive fish and shrimp. ”
For people who lack cooking experience in puffer fish, they can't eat it. As a puffer fish breeding base, there must be puffer fish processing qualifications, so put your heart in your stomach and eat it. There's nothing more wonderful than sitting in a 180-degree restaurant around the sea and eating an exclusive puffer fish feast.
Chicken Singing Island
About Jiming Island, the first time I heard about it was when I watched the first season of Hunan Satellite TV's "Where Daddy Goes", the column team filmed here. It was 2013, and since then, I have been full of infinite yearning for this small island in Shandong. The area of this island is very small, come here, there is no need to rush to the attractions, follow the fishing boat to feel the original traditional fishermen's life, slow down, is the most comfortable state.
Regarding the origin of Jiming Island, there is such a legend: According to legend, a long time ago, the god Erlang was ordered to send rare birds and beasts to the Sea Dragon King, and he carried the burden, with the western young donkey in the front and the northern rooster in the back. In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the mortal world, he hid during the day and rushed to the road at night. Unexpectedly, due to the unfamiliarity of the road, the trip was delayed, and when it was about to reach the East Sea, the morning light had been revealed.
The rooster let out a long roar, and Erlang Shen folded his shoulders in panic, and when he couldn't clean up for a while, he hurriedly disappeared. The thrown rooster fell into the sea and turned into a chicken singing island. The young donkey falls into the sea and becomes a sea donkey island. Only two sections of bian dan drifted with the water, stopped in the Area of Yantai Zhifu, and turned into Bian Dan Island.
Century-old tree
This ancient tree is said to have grown for 410 years, and the ancient tree that has gone through 400 years of vicissitudes and changes is still so tall, witnessing how many sunrises and moons have set on Jiming Island.
The ancient simple trees are tied with slender red cloths, which are people's prayers for peace and happiness. Sit under the ancient trees, chat with the villagers of the island, and listen to this ancient and long folklore story. Tired of walking, you may wish to stop for a while to rest your feet. Sitting in the book bar, looking up at the endless blue sea, it is a double enjoyment of art and beauty.
lighthouse
Founded in 1953, the Jiming Island Lighthouse has a high photo rate.
A corner of the village
Jimingdao Village is the only island fishing village in Weihai, with only 100 residents and has been fishing for generations. Away from the hustle and bustle, the simplicity of the people, the tranquility and nature, maybe only once, you will begin to yearn to live in this place.
Fishermen's boats
Between the sea and the sky, there are quiet steep cliffs, undulating clear sea surfaces, and white waves hitting the reef. Take a walk around the island and winding paths. The trees are lush, the grass is fragrant, and the washi is in order.
A view of the cape
Each place is like a beautiful background in Korean dramas. Compared with the islands in Sanya and other places, Jiming Island has no impetuousness and packaging, it is primitive and simple.
Thatched huts
Wooden boats straddle the grass, and everything is so natural. This pristine island village brought the most peak surprise to my journey. The scenery along the way is beautiful, if you suddenly look back at the road, you will find a different kind of scenery.
In order to take pictures of the film effect, it is recommended that women can wear long skirts and straw hats, and men can mainly use casual style, the most important thing is comfort.
If you are traveling independently, you can choose the homestay where the crew of "Where Daddy Goes" lived at the time, you can follow the fishing boat to the sea, eat an authentic fishing family fun, and experience the local customs and customs in an immersive way.
Conch Bay Restaurant
In the afternoon, when you leave the island by boat, you will go to the last stop of the trip, the Conch Bay Cafeteria.
Seagrass Homestay
There are seagrass houses in one of the most iconic ecological houses in the world. With stone as the wall and seagrass as the top, the appearance is simple and thick, and it is very local like a thatched hut in a fairy tale world.
windmill
Out of the door is the windmill and the sea, the unobstructed invigorating, and the breeze, you can instantly make people intoxicated. The restaurant is clean and bright, and there is a large screen in the hall, you can watch movies or sing K.
PS: Here I ate the most local seafood and barbecue, as well as my most memorable food - sea cucumber flower, it is said that it is a relatively rare ingredient, only more than 4 years old mature sea cucumber golden eggs, extremely high nutritional value! There is also an exclusive secret - shark fin fishing rice, delicious...
DAY.5
Come on with a shadow
All the tours are over, and you can finally sleep in the hotel until you wake up naturally ~ The next day's return bus ride is about three hours.
Along the way, we passed the most beautiful highway in Weihai: half of it is a mountain, half of it is the sea, and the white windmills turn with the wind, surrounded by mountains and seas, and poetry and far away are together.
The universe is romantic, and the warmth of life is worth exploring. Travel cannot solve the poison of life, but it can dissolve the suffering of life.
It is better to start from here, measure the world with your feet, and record the scenery with your eyes. Those who will go to the far away are hometowns that have never been met.
