💗Qingdao travel tips
1️⃣For transportation, choose the subway 🚇 and bus 🚌. The bus is called "Qíndǎo Tōng Electronic Card" and the subway is "Qingdao Metro." It is difficult to find shared bicycles 🚴‍♀️ in Qingdao, and the terrain is undulating, making it difficult to ride 😭.
2️⃣Try not to drive yourself 🙅. There are many one-way streets in Qingdao! It is easy to get a lot of tickets 📒 when driving.
3️⃣Bring a coat 🧥 to the beach in the morning and evening. The temperature difference is large, and the sea breeze can really freeze you 🥶.
4️⃣Take sun protection measures 🌞. Apply sunscreen even when it is not sunny. There are still ultraviolet rays on cloudy days, otherwise you will easily get a tan or sunburn!
