Tucked away along Qingdao's coastline, Xiaocha Bay is a hidden gem even locals might miss! Crystal-clear waters framed by sheltering cliffs create a natural harbor, and at low tide you'll find tiny crabs scuttling in rock pools. With no tourist crowds, just spread your picnic blanket for a private beach day – sunset turns the waves gold as they crash against volcanic rocks, straight out of a postcard!

It’s been a month since I left Qingdao, but I still find myself thinking about my time at this little retreat in the heart of the city. This trip was my graduation getaway—right after finishing my final exams—and I stayed at Chenshe Xiaoyuan Resort Hotel for over a week. Waking up naturally every morning, opening the window to see the hydrangeas swaying gently in the breeze like they were getting ready for the day, it felt like living in a slow-motion dream. I’d grab a quick bite nearby, hop on the subway, and head straight to the beach to just sit, stare at the sea, and let my mind wander. Evenings were pure bliss: freshened up, curled up in bed with a movie I loved, a cold beer in hand, and the world outside fading away. As a photography enthusiast, Qingdao delivered everything I’ve ever imagined—red-tiled rooftops, green trees, endless blue skies and waves. But beyond the scenery, what stayed with me was the quiet healing this place brought after such a big life moment. I’ve traveled alone before, but nothing has stuck with me quite like this. I may not belong here, but I know I’ll be back. And when I do, I hope the garden is still full of flowers, the rooms still warm, and that little courtyard still holds the same peaceful magic. I’m already looking forward to coming home again.

The room itself is a great value for money, especially considering the location—just a short subway ride from downtown.
