Take Line 1 Metro to "Shilao Beach Station," then transfer to a tourist shuttle bus (20 minutes) directly to Camel Island Pier. Alternatively, use ride-hailing apps or shared e-bikes along the coastal road for a scenic journey. Ferry services run hourly, with a mere 15-minute crossing, making it the most convenient and enjoyable way to reach the island.

Don’t miss island hiking trails through surreal rock formations resembling camels. Join a sunset photography workshop to capture golden reflections on the waves. Explore local fishing village heritage tours, learning traditional fishing techniques and maritime folklore. At night, enjoy a stargazing campfire session by the pier, gazing at a sky full of stars under Qingdao’s clear skies.
