🇨🇳 Complete your Qingdao trip at Laoshan Mountain

Laoshan is a famous mountain located in Qingdao, China, and it is the highest peak along China's coastline. Thanks to its stunning scenery where mountains and sea blend together, it's said to be so renowned that there's a saying: "No matter how high Mount Tai may be, it still can't compare to Laoshan of the East Sea." It is also considered one of the eight birthplaces of Taoism in China, and Taoist culture is deeply rooted here, so much so that it has long been called the mountain where immortals dwell.

A cable car just as thrilling as Ba Na Hills We rode the cable car partway up, and the endless rocky mountains along with the distant sea view spread out before our eyes. I couldn't help but say, "China really is on a different scale." The scenery was so amazing that even the long ride never felt boring at all.

Mount Noh wasn't so much a mountain of soil and trees, like the mountains in Korea, but felt more like a stone mountain made of giant granite rocks. Huge rocky peaks stretched on and on, showing a completely different scene depending on where you stood to look, and with clouds hanging over it, it was also filled with a mysterious feeling.

The Qingdao downtown tour alone is charming enough... But if you can spare an extra day, be sure to visit Laoshan Mountain as well. It will be a special trip where you can feel a charm completely different from the city.
