after another 40h train ride not worth writing about, i finally arrived at the pacific ocean, more precisely in china's beer capital quingdao, from where (hopefully) my ferry would depart.
the hostel was situated right next to the coast promenade, from where you could look up at the brightly lit up skyline along the shore. i didn't expect it at all, so you can imagine my face when i turned the corner and saw it for the first time. one metro ride away was also a beach, which i thoroughly enjoyed. the water is like 25 degrees, you could literally stay in there the whole day (or the whole night, in my example).
at the hostel, i also met the probably coolest chinese girl out there. she spoke perfect english, we had a couple of drinks while playing roblox dress to impress, ordered chicken wings and then decided to go to a viewpoint beach for sunrise. beat that.もっと詳しく
