Qingdao's Most Beautiful Mountain-Sea Highway! The 618 Coastal Route Guide is Here

️Here's the conclusion first: Qingdao's most stunning coastal highway, a 4-5 hour journey, so beautiful it's worth every bump along the way! Promise me, when you come to Qingdao, you must check in on this magical bus ride 🚌 ✨Trip Highlights: This time we're traveling ultra-light, a three-day, two-night walking itinerary: Day 1-2: Seaside & Old Town city walk 🦶 Day 3: 618 Coastal Highway + evening return ✈️ The last day’s bus ride with scenic views is super healing, a perfect ending! Recommended to go in the off-season for fewer people and better scenery! (On Mondays, it’s so empty it feels like a private car 🤫) 👉Better way to play: If you have enough time, we suggest dedicating a whole day to Laoshan Mountain! Recommended route: Yangkou up → Yakou down → play all the way back to Yangkou We were a bit rushed because of a flight, ending the trip at 2 PM (By the way, we also checked out the super popular Shuangheyuan in Chengyang 😋) 🚌 Transportation Guide: Peak season choose this ⬇️ ✅ Taxi from downtown → Yangkou (55 RMB/1 hour) Off-season route ⬇️ ✅ Metro Line 2 → Blue Valley Express (Puli Station Exit A) → Taxi to Yangkou (22 RMB/75 min) 📸 Must-Photo Spots: 1️⃣ Yakou Station (P1-5) Step off and you get a magical view! You can take stunning photos of people with the green mountains and fishing villages 👭 Tip: Sit on the driver’s side on the way there! Best sea view seat 💺 2️⃣ Huangshan South Station (P6-7) Famous red house check-in spot 🏠 Close-up portraits here have an amazing vibe~ 3️⃣ Fanlingqian Station (P9-15) Direct access to the beach fun 🏖️ Plus lots of restaurants and coffee shops ☕ No worries about getting hungry! 📍Tips: - The 618 bus fare is only 2 RMB, the best value for money! - Yangkou first bus at 6:30, last bus at 16:40 - Allow plenty of time, the right side on the return trip is also very beautiful~ - Qingdao’s "red tiles, green trees, blue sea, and sky" are perfectly displayed here!
