General presentation
Laoshan
Granitic peaks, Taoist temples and marine coves join in a spectacular massif at the gates of Qingdao.
To understand what Laoshan is, you have to look at Mount Lao, Summit Jufeng and Cascades Longtan. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, the coastline, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Mont Lao
The Lao massif falls directly to the sea by granite valleys and wooded ridges. Several access areas exist and do not easily combine in a single day.
Place indismissible
Sommet Jufeng
Jufeng is the highlight of Laoshan and dominates a set of granite ridges close to the sea. The upper loop takes several hours despite the shuttles and the cable car.
Waterfall
Cascades de Longtan
Longtan brings together waterfalls and basins on the southern slope of the massif of Laoshan The flow varies with the rains and the rocks become slippery in wet weather. The weather and the condition of the trails remain decisive.
