Yugu'an

Step through the West Gate of Yuguan Nunnery and you'll find yourself in old Qingdao. This hidden gem boasts well-preserved ancient architecture, with every brick whispering centuries of history. Don't miss the giant shade trees inside - perfect for summer retreats, especially when paired with monks' chanting. Pro tip: rub the stone lion statues at the entrance for good luck - locals swear by it!
