What to do in Shandong

Popular places to visit

May Fourth Square

Qingdao’s huge seaside square is dominated by an impressive sculpture that commemorates the cultural and socio-political May Fourth Movement.

They say when you come to China there are five mountains you have to climb. This is one of the five mountains. I was quite lucky when I visited that day. I made my trip around April to May the weather there was not too cold it was around winter turning to spring. It's around that time that is perfect to visit this spot. It's too hot in summer, and freezing in winter. I literally went there during spring but by the time I reached the top, there was still snow falling. The locals said I was lucky that day, there had been a few days where it stopped snowing. I do recommend bring your own water and snacks, the food stalls on the ways up costs more than normal. It takes about six hours to climb, but they also offer bus rides up half the way, and cable cars to take you up and down the mountain. But where's the fun in that? XD
