Hello! Here’s my perspective as a foreigner. I visited Laoshan in October, when the weather was neither too hot nor too cold — perfect for hiking. The journey from the city center to Laoshan is quite long, so we opted for a Didi (online taxi), which was more comfortable and cost around 100–130 RMB (about $16.7). To reach the summit, you can take a cable car and then hike for about 30–45 minutes to get to the main peak. From there, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views. Overall, Laoshan, a 5A-rated tourist attraction in China, is absolutely worth visiting!

Let's say, dare you try the full transparent carriage of the Taiping Mountain cableway? I plucked up the courage to sit, and the woods and mountain roads were at my feet. At first, I didn't dare to bow my head. Later, I slowly adapted to it and felt like I was flying. Passing by the red mushroom building of Signal Hill Park, you can see clearly. This feeling of hanging out of the scenery is much more exciting than climbing the mountain, but the legs are a bit soft!

Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center is a free 5A scenic spot and the venue for the sailing competition of the Beijing Olympic Games. Here you can experience the Olympic spirit. Walking on the Lover Dam, the flags of many countries are flying over it, which is very shocking. Today, Lover Dam is a lighthouse, and the photos are very good. Overall, the Olympic Sailing Center is worth visiting.

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!

媛媛漫途记

As a child growing up inland, I almost cried when I touched the real ship gun for the first time, especially when I saw the exhibition of "sea bayonet". National pride is directly bursting! Must bring ID card! Slippers and drinks cannot be entered, and nuclear submarines must wear sneakers (the internal stairs are very steep), It is recommended to go in the morning and there are many people in the afternoon. After visiting, the Fujian ship building blocks were planted.
