Beach #1

Qingdao is host to China's first public aquarium, opened in 1932. Today the "Underwater World" consists of four main areas on both sides of the street connected via an underground tunnel. One highlight is the moving platform that takes visitors in a tunnel through the aquarium, one can look all around and see fish from every angle. Also, do not miss the ever-popular mermaid shows. During the day and in the summer, it will be packed with hordes of noisy children and tourists. Two of the exhibits do not have air-conditioning. The ¥120 ticket also includes the Polar Ocean World, which has to be accessed separately..

A park built in traditional Chinese style in 1983. It has great hilltop views of Qingdao especially during sunrise.

A 2-km-long beachside park, between Xiao Qingdao Park and Bathing Beach. There is an oriental gate leading to a statue of Luxun, a famous Chinese writer.

The building is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit, the former site of the Qingdao Branch of the Red Swastika Society. It is divided into three exhibition halls: the front courtyard (Roman-style architecture), the middle courtyard (traditional Chinese palace-style architecture), and the rear courtyard (Islamic-style architecture).

Small park with lots of trees, flowers and sculptures. For many years it was the cemetery for foreigners, but the cemetery was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. It is now a beautiful park with sculptures of writers, artists, and revolutionaries.
