The park stretches downhill to the sea, along the alternately sandy and rocky beach. There’s also an indoor sculpture museum at the far west of the park. As the weather gets warmer, the Qingdao Sculpture Garden attracts more visitors especially during weekends and holidays. They come to camp, take photos, and enjoy the beautiful seaside scenery.#100WaysOfTravel

#Sand, Sea and Art. Who would have though, that the outside of a Art Meuseum, could be as interesting as the inside. Well, in the case of the Qingdao Sculpture Art Meuseum, both the inside and outside of the meuseum's Sculpture Art, is impressive indeed. Let's focus on the "outside" of the Qingdao Sculpture Art Meuseum, for now. There are numerous Sculptures, outside the meuseum, they are not merely placed outside. They each have their own "place in the sun", literary speaking, and figuratively as well. Each uniquely designed, to blend in with the environment, and to enhance the sculpture's appeal. This is definitely an attraction, worthy of a visit, if you ever find yourself in Qingdao.

#beachlife The Laoshan Beachfront in Qingdao, is the ideal place for Ocean and Beach enthusiasts alike. Visitors can enjoy walking along the Ocean, whilst enjoying distance mountain views, of the iconic Mount Lao. Walking along this trail, you can also enjoy beautiful parks and nature along the way. The Sculpture Park can be found along the way, as well as the Qingdao Sculpture Museum.

#beach side art in motion So, perhaps you are like us... You like the beach, you enjoy walking in the park, and you love art galleries. Imagine if you could enjoy all of these favourites to visit, in one place. Well, you need not imagine, we found the ideal place for beach, park and art enthusiasts alike. The "Qingdao Sculpture Gallery" is an absolute must visit, if you ever find yourself in the beautiful coastal city of Qingdao. Enjoy a walk alongside the ocean on one side, and a beautiful park on the other, filled with unique and captivating sculptures. Distant views of the mountains, and the city can be enjoyed along the way. When you reach the Qingdao Sculpture Art Museum, you can enter free of charge and enjoy a variety of art. We often purchase some oil paintings, by local artists. Indeed we look forward to these pieces of art, to grace our home, when we return there one day.

Qingdao is a lovely city with a seriously calming atmosphere. I loved the chilled vibe of walking along the beaches and just following the path to see where it would take me. By doing this I found the Qingdao sculpture park, the building part was not open so I can’t tell you what it’s like inside but the park area around it was fascinating. So many people seemingly travel to take photos of the unusual sculptures that fill the nearby grassy area, it’s a nice walk through the paths with sculptures on either side to enjoy. I particularly liked how the sculptures were different to what you can usually see. Of course, typical lunar related sculptures were around but most of the arty styles were different and quite out there! A worth while walk through the park if you’re ever in Qingdao. #art #beachview #urbanexplorer #nationalpark #sculptures

When you are tired, you can sit anywhere, look at the sea, blow the wind, and be in a daze. It is quiet and healing. ✨️ I rode from Shilaoren Bathing Beach, taking pictures and riding, walking and stopping, relatively slow and comfortable. If you ride all the way to Xiaomai Island, it is a very beautiful experience. 👣

Highly recommended! 📅Travel tips: Watch the sunrise at Shilaoren Bathing Beach, see the beautiful pines and cypresses and the sea at Qingdao Sculpture Park, take a walk at Haizhilian Park (it's really beautiful and there are few people), and relax and watch the sunset at Xiaomaidao.

🌈 Coastal Route in Qingdao's Laoshan District I really, really love this route😍! Pick a sunny day with a gentle breeze, take a stroll along the coast, and feel the unique romance of a seaside city💕.

There are also several popular internet-famous coffee shops🥂, with paintings🖼 along the way, where you can rest for a moment before continuing on your journey.

This place is rarely crowded! It leads directly to the labyrinth of the sea. Stop rushing to the crowded Wheat Island! This place is equally beautiful! Qingdao may now have tens of millions of people. When traveling, there's no need to only go to popular spots crowded with people; Qingdao is filled with wonderful views leading to the sea everywhere; The Sculpture Park is a place often visited by locals, nestled against Fushan and facing the sea. Here, walking, sea viewing, picnicking, and exhibition viewing are all excellent choices. The pine and cypress maze here is very photogenic, even more interesting than the two trees on Wheat Island!

Recommended Qingdao's less crowded beaches🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Even during the National Day holiday, there are very few people, and it's very relaxing on the beach~ The place in picture 4⃣️ is super beautiful, it's a secret passage to the sea🌊 · 📍：Qingdao Sculpture Park

The same sea, the popularity really varies a lot! The flow of people at the Stone Old Man Seaside Bathing Beach is really large. If you don't like crowded beaches, you can take a few steps and get a better sea-viewing experience! Walking from the Stone Old Man Seaside Bathing Beach towards Qingdao Sculpture Park, the sea view is also super great! The flow of people is much less than that of the Stone Old Man Seaside Bathing Beach, and there are grasslands and trees that make it more picturesque! I started from the Sculpture Park towards the Stone Old Man Seaside Bathing Beach. At dusk, I looked at the nearby Stone Old Man Seaside Bathing Beach and the seaside night view. The experience was too great! I don't know how many times I have walked this route! Qingdao Sculpture Park 📍No. 66, East Sea Road, Laoshan District, Qingdao City

Who understands! Qingdao is really suitable for taking pictures! The seaside of Qingdao in autumn and winter is so beautiful! I love it so much! Super like! The seaside of Qingdao is super mi! Recommend to take pictures from three thirty to four thirty in the afternoon! If there are few people, you can choose the sculpture park! It's also super beautiful
