Badaguan Seaside Villas
Shinan, Qingdao
Eight tree-lined avenues of colonial villas, ending at the most relaxing beach stroll in China.
Badaguan is Qingdao's most beautiful district: eight avenues named after Chinese passes, lined with 300 villas in styles from German to Japanese to Spanish. The streets run toward the sea, ending at the No. 2 Bathing Beach.
Walk slowly, follow any lane downhill, and you will hit water. This is the city's answer to a spa day - fresh sea air, no itinerary required.
Best for: A slow seaside afternoon with century-old architecture at every turn.
