About this experience

Fushan, the 390-meter peak in the center of Qingdao City, offers outstanding views out over the eastern districts of the city, along with its never-ending glistening coastline of the Yellow Sea. From the many vantage points throughout the mountain, it's possible to see islands dotted off into the ocean and the mighty Laoshan Mountain in the distance.

Fushan gives you an opportunity for some inner-city trekking, an opportunity to get away from city life, and to explore nature in the heart of Qingdao. For many, it's a convenient and ideal hike compared to the much more time-consuming Laoshan.
Fushan is just 20 minutes from Old Town, with the trek is likely to take 1 hour to ascend. There will be plenty of photo opportunities, including time for snacks on the peak. The whole tour can be completed with a half-day tour.

No other place within Qingdao city can provide such a breath-taking view of the city, surrounded by nature and forests.
