Being a beautiful coastal city, Qingdao is undoubtedly blessed with some of the finest beaches found anywhere in the world. A Qingdao beach holiday will present the option of 6 beaches to choose from.  The beaches are all known as beach 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 respectively.

The no.1 beach is known as Diyi Yuchang and is considered by many as being the best beach in the city, but it is also consequently the most crowded. It is also the longest of the beaches and like all beaches in Qingdao covered in fine yellow sand. From the beach visitors will also be able to see the Huiquan Cape and the waves lapping against its red reefs.

Beaches no. 2 and 3 are less crowded and provide the chance for a more intimate experience. The no.3 beach is especially worth a visit, as it is peppered with couples and kite fliers in mind giving an added sense of charm. Further adding to its appeal travellers will also find the Huashi Lou at the end of the beach. This former German Governors residence provides a stunning piece of architecture. When standing atop the residence visitors will also be privy to stunning views of the surrounding area.

For those seeking a truly secluded beach experience, the Yellow Island is the ideal choice, even though it requires a certain level of extra effort to reach. Visitors will have to use the ferry to travel across to the island and from there another ride to get to the beach.

From Shangri-La Hotel, Qingdao visitors will easily be able to access the variety of pristine beaches in Qingdao due to the hotels centralised location.
