Signal Hill Park

Christ Church in Qingdao  Christ Church is a famous religious building in Qingdao, and is one of the national cultural relics that is protected. It is located on the hill in No. 15 Jiangsu Road, Shinan District, Qingdao, and is adjacent to the beautiful Signal Hall Park in the East.  It is a typical German castle-style building. It consists of a bell tower and an auditorium. The style is dignified and the lines are clear and concise. The solid walls, semi-circular arched granite window frames, steep red roofs and green spires all give it a unique aesthetic of a religious building. At the top of the church is a 39-meter high clock tower, commonly known as the "Clock House."  My trip to Qingdao is to watch the drifting fog in the evening, visit the tavern to listen to the performance, to walk along the Dess Church, and to eat ice cream and crab on the university road. When you are on the ferry, Zhujidao, you will feel the sea breeze blow. You can visit the creative market as well. The early summer here is a bit chilly and life here is a little slow.

Seashell Collecting During low tide, you can also find a lot of beautiful seashells! 📌Little Tips: When visiting Qingdao, try to slow down the pace as much as possible, stop to quietly appreciate, and you will truly be healed by the beautiful scenery of Qingdao.

You can stay near Zhongshan Road on the first day. One very convenient aspect of touring in Qingdao is that the various attractions are very close to each other, and you can walk almost the entire way. Thus, you can visit many attractions in one day and it's very relaxing. 📍Zhanqiao Pier Area: P1-P2 To see the seagulls, it's suggested to walk to the Zhanqiao Pier Area around 10 a.m. There are many professional photographers, uncles and aunties, by the seaside. If you're traveling alone, you can pay them to take photos (they have good photography skills and can guide your poses). 📍Yinyu Alley: P3-P7 Yinyu Alley has many exquisite shops, such as coffee shops, clothing stores, jewelry stores, etc. The bagels and milk sold at the coffee shop at the entrance are very delicious, and you can have a brunch here. 📍Church: P8-P9 The ticket to enter the church is 10 yuan each. 📍Signal Hill Park: P10-P11 From the top of Signal Hill Park, you can overlook parts of the city. It's recommended to take a taxi directly to the west gate entrance. Entering from the west gate allows you to reach the top of the hill the fastest. There is no fee to enter the park; however, there is a revolving staircase at the top that requires a ticket to enter. Personally, I don't recommend it, as the view from the staircase is not much different from the view outside... 📍Lu Xun Park: P12-P15 Lu Xun Park is by the seaside, where you can enjoy a deep visit. The beachside is very photogenic. 📍Qinyu Road: P16 Qinyu Road is most famous for the "Lonely Tree," which you can find by searching "Lonely Tree" on the map for navigation. You need to queue up to take photos here. There are many cafes (especially recommend Wilder) and restaurants on Qinyu Road. Through the windows of the cafes, you can directly see the sea and the sunset. Recommendations for cafes and restaurants will be covered in a separate post later. 📍Little Qingdao Park: P17-P18 There is no entrance fee for Little Qingdao Park. In fact, the entire island is quite small, and you can quickly walk around it. If you like to watch the sunset, you can also do so at Little Qingdao Park, where the view from the island is another different scenery.
