Finally, someone has explained Qingdao travel clearly‼️ Who said traveling has to be like a special forces mission?🙅♀️ As a certified "slacking expert" who just returned from a laid-back Qingdao trip, I highly recommend this heavenly itinerary with only three core KPIs: sea gazing, daydreaming, and chugging beer! Qingdao is literally a paradise for lazy souls!
