Snow capped peaks in winter! Perfect time to visit with barely any visitors. Spectacular views from the top! Great for hikers. We caught the 104 bus which starts at Taidong and travels down to the Xianggang West and Xianggang East Road (the West road becomes the East Road) along the coast until you reach Laoshan about 35km away. The cost is RMB3 from Taidong (terminus) to the Tourism Office of Laoshan. You just hop on and the ticket lady will tell you the correct fare to pay her. You need to book your tickets to the Laoshan scenic areas at the Tourism office before entering the park. Cost is RMB120 pp (low season) and RMB90 for students. Peak is RMB150 and RMB105 respectively. We then took one of the private driver’s offer of RMB300 for the day and she took us along the coast to see the Frog Rock, Laozhi statue, a look out to the Tea plantation and then Huayan Temple where we did a hike for a 1.5 hour round trip up the mountain. The temple was only 20mins walk up. We started at 10am and returned to Taidong around 6pm. The bus trip was 1hr in the morning (no traffic) but 2 hrs on the way back (peak weekday traffic). The private drivers speaks virtually no English and will try to take you to tea houses to sample teas and coerce you to buy or encourage you to eat at one of the restaurants. They won’t force you so gently decline if you are not interested. Note: there are no food options other than these restaurants so bring snacks or eat a good breakfast before you head out!!

Long time before I went to visit Laoshan for very famous Taoists there,but later I was attracted by the nice view of the mountain, and more the broken but well placed stone blocks, looks unstable and dangerous, but always staying there steadily. In autumn we could see colorful view of the stones with plants of red leaves. Water always there for nice view together with stones. If lucky still can see some colorful birds. So when go to qingdao you must try to visit Laoshan

It seemed like we were the only ones there on the day we visited. This is an excellent spot to see Qingdao from higher up. We did climb up to the top of the pagoda and it was a wonderful view of the older section of the city. With fewer visitors one can really enjoy the serenity and sight.

Sightseeing path is connecting Old town with Laoshan part of Qingdao. You can start from the end or in down town. No ???? ????, maybe few ???? or mopeds ???? but crowded in season from spring till autumn ????. You pass beaches, Olympic centre, Maidao island ????, gallery in park, many cafes and restaurant. Maybe 20 kilometres to enjoy ???? the day.
