Seagulls coming to Shandong province have transformed it into a lively, picturesque haven.

In Qingdao, Zhanqiao Pier becomes a swirl of white as gulls circle over the sea, while themed cruises follow their flights, offering visitors stunning views. The city's seagull-themed subways, buses, and cultural activities extend the experience to urban streets.

In Yantai, Fisherman's Wharf and the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Scenic Area host flocks gliding among boats and red-roofed villas – the perfect moments for photography and close encounters.

Weihai's coastline adds a magical touch as gulls share the sky with swans, while wetlands, islands, and fishing ports form serene winter sanctuaries. At Xingfumen Square, birds swoop along the open shore, and from Hailyu Island, thousands of black-tailed gulls pass overhead in a dramatic display.

Rizhao completes the seasonal panorama, with flocks arriving like drifting snowflakes, bringing the sea and sky to life.
