China's most beautiful seaside destinations for summer (2)

First Bathing Beach, Qingdao, Shandong province

Probably the most popular beach in Qingdao, and just a few minutes from downtown, First Bathing Beach sits within a broad inlet, with two peninsular arms stretching out on either side, one of them lined with weathered, rugged rocks and both of them peaked with European villas. If you feel like a walk in the grass after swimming, Huiquan Square and spacious Zhongshan Park are immediately behind the beach. If you feel more like a stroll through one of the city's old quarters, Xiaoyu Hill is directly to the right. Sand, water, and city treasures are neatly interwoven here.
