    The theatrical game "Awakening of the Brewers" is a must-play! It unlocks many extra areas that can't be accessed with any other ticket! With 10 NPCs performing, the experience is top-notch. Highly recommended!

    Family, you absolutely can't miss the Underwater World when you come to Qingdao, especially that nearly 100-meter-long underwater tunnel! It's really amazing! Tickets are available now! Here's a guide for you: Copy Ticket Purchase Guide Tickets can be purchased in advance through the official WeChat account or major travel platforms. A general admission ticket is 170 yuan, with student discounts available. There might be queues at the ticket counter, so buying in advance is much more convenient. Itinerary We recommend starting with the Dreamy Jellyfish Palace, where the colorful jellyfish under the lights create a dreamlike scene, perfect for taking photos. Next, head to the Seal Pavilion to see the adorable seals. Now for the highlights: the Marine Life Pavilion and Whale Pavilion have many precious specimens, where you can learn a lot about the ocean. Then, there's the incredible underwater tunnel! Stretching nearly 100 meters, walking in feels like being surrounded by fish from every angle, with sharks, turtles, and rays swimming right beside you—the feeling is indescribable. It's also a great place for taking photos; even a simple shot on the escalator has a great atmosphere. Finally, head to the freshwater aquarium to see some unique freshwater creatures. Show Times: Don't forget to check the times for the mermaid show and the shark and human show; they're spectacular. Arrive half an hour early to secure a good front-row seat.

    A perfect place to spend the weekend with kids, featuring all sorts of marine animals that children love. The staff are incredibly welcoming, and there's plenty of delicious food available. The kids especially enjoyed the marine show. We'll definitely come back!!!

    This is a filming location for the movie "A Little Red Flower"! Taking the cable car to see different scenery is a super, super amazing experience! At the entrance, which is the middle section of the cable car (look carefully, it's the middle!), you can first take the cable car down the mountain to see the red-tiled roofs, blue sky, sea, and many colorful plants—autumn is so beautiful! After exploring for a while, take the cable car back up the mountain to enjoy the scenery! Back in the middle section, continue taking the cable car down the mountain to see the skyscrapers and the silvery sea—it's absolutely breathtaking! Then explore the surrounding area. After you've had your fill, take the cable car back to the middle section, which is also the starting point! It's definitely worth the ride—the panoramic view is stunning! I'd love to ride it again!

    The fireworks were beautiful, and the rides were really fun—the Flying Leap, Dinosaur Island, roller coaster, and Ferris wheel were all great. Highly recommended! There are also lots of snacks and many attractions for kids. Thumbs up! 👍

    Laoshan Mountain is quite large, and since I'm not particularly interested in Buddhist or Taoist culture, I chose this mountain and sea route. Overall, it's a scenic spot suitable for all ages with a very low climbing difficulty. Even those who don't enjoy exercise can easily reach the summit by cable car. There are plenty of restrooms, rest areas, and viewing platforms along the way, so you can enjoy the views without worry. At the foot of the mountain is a large town called Wanggezhuang, where you can eat and visit the local market. From the city center, you can take the Blue Valley Express Line and then transfer to bus 383 or 620 to the final stop, Yangkou, which is super economical.

    This is a super fun place that combines fun and education! Not only is it fun, but you can also learn knowledge. The first, second and third floors are all about physics, and there are many cute little animals on the fourth floor!

    I went in November. It wasn't crowded, and the environment was quite nice. It's normal for the zoo to have a strong smell. The panda and firebird enclosures were closed for maintenance, but the others were open and worth visiting.

    Shilaoren Beach got its name from a rock near the sea that looks like an old man waiting for his daughter. The sand at Shilaoren Beach is fine, but the waves can be rough when there are winds and waves. It is a great place for swimming and playing with children in the summer. It is connected to the Sculpture Park.

    When writing a positive review of the Golden Beach, you can combine your own real experience, highlight the characteristics of the beach, environment, services and personal feelings, so that the evaluation appears vivid and specific. The following is a reference template and writing ideas for your reference: --- This trip to the Golden Beach completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment I arrived, I was attracted by the blue sea and blue sky and the soft white sand here. The beach is clean and tidy, the sea water is clear, and it feels very comfortable to walk barefoot on the beach. The ecological environment of the Golden Beach is well maintained, there is no debris, and the sea water has no odor. The sunset in the evening is so beautiful that it is suffocating. Every shot is a blockbuster! The coconut trees and rest areas on the beach are very thoughtfully designed, and there are plenty of parasols and lounge chairs. Golden Beach is definitely a great choice for a relaxing vacation, suitable for family trips, couples dating or friends gatherings. I have recommended it to my friends and will come again next time!
