Qingdao's seasonal greeting: Mountains, sea and festive cheer

(chinadaily.com.cn) | 2026-02-12

As winter melts into spring, Qingdao extends a heartfelt invitation to the world.

Here, mountains meet the sea in silence — the peaks of Laoshan Mountain dusted with snow, the coastline shimmering under a soft winter sun. Historic streets tell stories of a century past, while steaming bowls of seafood and local brews greet every visitor like an old friend.

Whether coming for the tranquil beauty of icy waves or the joyous bustle of Spring Festival celebrations, Qingdao promises not just a destination, but a homecoming.

This Spring Festival season, let the city by the sea embrace you with its nature, culture, and heartfelt hospitality.

Welcome to Qingdao — where the mountains speak, and the sea invites.
