QINGDAO MEET MILANO

The dishes provided are rich and varied, among which the recommended specialties such as vanilla ice cream and cherry foie gras are very outstanding. In particular, the Sicilian Sea King Tower with snow crab claws and fresh herb and mozzarella baked sea shrimp have a delicate taste and unique flavor. At the same time, the homemade fresh smoked salmon is also very delicious. In addition, there are also creative dishes such as raw grilled wild Liao sea cucumber, time-soft angel hair pasta and all things grow, which are exciting.

Qingdao Badaguan newly opened a series of restaurants - Yuyuan Hui, the restaurant's outdoor is accompanied by the fragrance of flowers and bamboo shadows, the gurgling water and the melodious sound of the guqin. The winding path here leads to a secluded place, and it is very pleasant to drink tea with friends in the bamboo forest and the fragrance of flowers. Yuyuan Hui specializes in Chinese solar term dishes, adhering to Chinese traditional culture. The dishes follow the Confucian idea of ​​"eating in season", relying on the solar terms, selecting seasonal ingredients from the north and south, and integrating Zhejiang cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and Qingdao cuisine. In Yuyuan Hui, you can taste tea and food, away from the dust but not away from the city.

This is my 6th year at the Xingxing Market! The venue and stalls are pretty much the same as last year, and I've seen that dirty Santa Claus for at least four years now. ✅ I have a special feeling for the Xingxing Market; I come every year. It has a lot of sentimental value. And that red-hatted old man who looks like Santa Claus is there every year too. There are also some foreigners leisurely drinking mulled wine and chatting, creating a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. ⚠️ The market is quite small; you can walk around in about ten minutes if you're quick. I went on a Friday and it seems there was no entrance fee. 📍 Qingdao Meets Milan #ChristmasTrendyGuide #ChristmasAtmosphere #Christmas #QingdaoTourism #QingdaoTravelGuide
