Day 1: All over the country → → → Qingdao ★ All-day gathering day
All day
Tourists from all over the world will meet in Qingdao by plane or train and check into designated hotels. If you have more time, you can explore Qingdao at your own leisure. We've also compiled a private Qingdao travel guide featuring delicious food, beautiful scenery, and interesting stories, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of this legendary coastal city.

Day 2 Qingdao → Penglai → Changdao
·morning
After breakfast, we departed Qingdao by car for Penglai Port.
Arriving at the port in about 3.5 hours, we boarded a ferry to Changdao, an island in the north. Today, we needed to prepare some food for the journey. Once we were settled on the island, we had our own meal.
·afternoon
Disembark after approximately one hour and check into the Changdao Hotel. After a light rest, travel light to South Changdao's Fengshan Forest and Sea. Climb to the island's highest point and admire the unique mountain and sea scenery, guided by the white windmills. At Changshanwei, we'll witness the geographical wonder of the confluence of the Yellow River and Bohai Sea—walk down and touch it.
Stroll along the coastal wooden boardwalk, the rolling waves rustling the pebbles on the beach, and the setting sun creates a truly romantic atmosphere!
In the evening, enjoy a delicious meal at the nearby seafood restaurants.
After the meal, you can freely stroll along the coastal greenway or the island streets, enjoying the sea breeze on your face, how pleasant!
Day 3 Long Island Full Day
·morning
After breakfast, we'll head to Jiuzhang Cliff on Beichang Island to witness the magnificent and precipitous sea erosion.
A barefoot stroll along the pebble beach at Crescent Bay is a delightful experience. Young tourists, accompanied by their parents, can also pet and feed baby seals, offering a chance to interact with these adorable creatures.
·afternoon
After lunch, we'll embark on a half-day island-hopping boat trip.
The boat will depart from the pier and head for Wanniao Island. Every May, seagulls flock to Long Island to breed and raise chicks. As the boat sails, thousands of seagulls follow, soaring side by side or swooping down to feed visitors, their free and unfettered presence resembling spirits.
Special arrangements are made to upgrade to the top cabin of the cruise ship, allowing you to enjoy the sea view and feed the seagulls from a better perspective
Before July and after September, the cruise will change its route to Daheishan Island to see the geological wonders such as the sea erosion plank road (price remains unchanged)!
Return to the island in time for dinner and rest
Day 4 Changdao → Penglai → Weihai
·morning
After breakfast today, we packed up and bid farewell to Changdao, heading to the livable city of Weihai.
We're expected to arrive around noon. After settling into our rooms, we'll be free to find food nearby. (If you've had enough of seafood in Changdao, you can change your taste buds and try Korean cuisine in Weihai.)
·afternoon
In the afternoon, we'll join the bus from Dongshan Road, continuing along the famous coastal route, with verdant mountains on the left and the green sea on the right. This is the essence of Weihai's coastline!
Upon arrival at Weihai International Bathing Beach, you'll experience the allure of the ocean. The 20-kilometer-long beach boasts fine, soft sand, allowing you to freely explore, take photos, play, and soak in the sea breeze as you stroll along the coastline.
As the setting sun shines over the sea, we'll end our relaxing trip and return to the city.
For dinner, consider having some authentic Korean BBQ together.
Day 5 Weihai → Liugong Island → Qingdao
·morning
Today, tourists can head to Weihai's Xingfumen Park early to catch a sunrise over the Yellow Sea. (Of course, you can also sleep in.)
After breakfast, we'll head to the historic Liugong Island, home to not only a rare marine forest park but also countless historical legends. All of this speaks to the saying, "Liugong Island is more than just an island." We'll depart by boat at noon for our return journey.
·afternoon
We expect to arrive at Weihai Railway Station around 2:00 PM, Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport around 5:30 PM, and Qingdao Railway Station around 6:30 PM.
