Beach sights in Qīngdǎo

  1. Shílǎorén

    It comes as little surprise that Qīngdǎo's best beach is draped along the shore way off in the east of town, far from the shrieking rubber-ring/buckets-and-spade crowd. South of the dramatic mountain bulk of Fushan, Shílǎorén is a gorgeous 2.5km-long strip of clean sand and seawater-smoothed seashells, occasionally engulfed in banks of mist pouring in from offshore.

    Early morning runs here are divine - and yours may be the only set of footprints on the sand. Take bus 317 from Taipingjiao or hop in a taxi.

  2. A

    No 2 Bathing Beach

    Heading out of Eight Passes Area, Nos 2 and 3 Bathing Beaches are just east, and the villas lining the headlands are quite exquisite. No 2 Bathing Beach is cleaner, quieter and more sheltered than No 1 Bathing Beach.

  3. B

    No 1 Bathing Beach

    The sand of No 1 Bathing Beach is coarse-grained, engulfed in seaweed, and bordered by concrete beach huts and bizarre statues of dolphins.

    Close to the train station is the No 6 Bathing Beach, neighbouring Zhàn Qiáo (Zhan Bridge).
