Qingdao, a paradise for people keen on freedom and warmness

QIngdao is surrounded by water on three sides and thanks to its unique geographical setting, Qingdao is endowed with favorable sceneries. I visited Qingdao this spring.  It was a foggy day when we got there. The buildings in the distance gleamed in the fog. Linda, the guide from Chinaholidays said buildings in Qingdao were of more than 26 styles. But I couldn’t count due to the fog.

Qingdao City is built on  terrain of mountains and hills. The road is winding but clean. We expected fine view at every turn. And Qingdao has never let us down. Following Linda’s explanation, we saw Qingdao botanical garden, Huibin Square, German prison camps…..flashing before our eyes and falling behind the car. Out of the window, a man in sport suit was running. Only after I looked at my watch did I find that It was already afternoon. The fog made me insensitive to the time.

Qingdao is not only a travelling paradise but also a fairyland of entertainment, food

and shopping. Regardless you are a gourmet, a shopaholic or a perfectionist, Qingdao is an ideal

choice. In Qingdao, you can experience exotic customs without going abroad.

Among all the scenery sites, I love the Shaoguan Road best. It’s a plain road compared to those modern streets and avenues. However, the cherry blossoms

aside the road impressed me a lot. Several new couples were taking wedding

dress photos standing against red gates. Their smile lighted the whole road.

The Summer Palace Is Carpeted with Petals

I am interested in Chinese ancient history. I have been dreaming about an opportunity to visit emperors’ palace. Last month, I had a visit to the Summer Palace with one of my best friend, Miranda, Zhang, who came from Nanjing, Jiangsu province.

It was really amazing experience for me because I never expected that the Summer Palace was full of flower trees. It was like magic that we walked on a road carpeted with petals. The historical buildings in it were fabulous and splendid with fine carving. The guide Linda from chinaholidays introduced the history of the Summer Palace and told every historical anecdote to us. It is firstly built for the roayal’s short stay from the imperial palace in Qing Dynasty and now has been protected as one of the most important attractions and UNESCO sites in Beijing. We had a good time walking through the historical buildings, enjoying the fresh air, blue sky, green water and pink flowers.

It was 10 o’clock am that we arrived and until 5 o’ clock when we left. I could even feel my legs shaking. So you have to prepare enough energy for it.
