Laoshan Shilaoren Bathing Beach

It gets its name from a huge weathered granite rock standing offshore that resembles an elderly stone figure, which has become the symbolic landmark of this scenic spot. As one of the most well‑known and well‑equipped public bathing beaches in Qingdao, it boasts soft golden fine sand, gentle underwater slopes and clear seawater, with relatively safe swimming conditions. The whole area stretches along the coastline, equipped with standard bathing service zones, coastal wooden plank roads, green landscape belts, viewing platforms and public rest spaces. Apart from sea swimming, beach sunbathing and shell picking at low tide, visitors can also take part in various marine entertainment projects such as speedboat rides, paddle boarding and beach volleyball. The offshore stone old man reef creates a distinctive seascape, especially stunning during sunrise and sunset when the rock is dyed in warm golden glow. It integrates leisure seaside recreation, natural coastal scenery and urban coastal park functions, favored by family tourists, swimming lovers and landscape photography enthusiasts.
