🏔️ Double the impact of the "First Mountain by the Sea"
Watch the sea of clouds drift over the granite peaks of Jufeng, then turn around and gaze at the red-tiled roofs and blue sea of Qingdao. Beneath the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree at Taiqing Palace, Taoist robes sweep through the incense smoke, and the magical atmosphere of Pu Songling's "The Taoist Priest of Laoshan" comes alive!
🌊 A magical experience: Taoist temples on one side, ocean waves on the other
Waves crash against the green mountains at Yangkou Beach. Take the 618 bus along the coastal highway, and admire the colorful houses scattered among the tea fields in Qingshan Fishing Village. The mist of Chaoyin Waterfall hides a Taoist paradise.
🍵 Heavenly culinary delights
Wanggezhuang steamed buns are bigger than your face, and Laoshan green tea, brewed with mountain spring water, has the fragrance of orchids. Don't forget to try Laoshan Baihua Snake Grass Water, Qingdao's "resurrection water"!
