## About No. 1 Bathing Beach

The "No. 1 Bathing Beach" at Huiquan Cape was praised by Yu Dafu as the finest in East Asia. Red reefs, fine sand on gentle slopes and a crescent-shaped shoreline make it the favourite spot for Qingdao locals in midsummer. Colourful changing cabins, vivid swimwear and parasols on the sand add to the lively atmosphere.
