Now the beautiful but short fall has arrived, it's time to go on a delightful autumn outing. Here are some top recommendations that you shouldn't miss out on, in the Shinan district of Qingdao city in East China's Shandong province.

Yan'er Island Park

Located at the eastern end of Fushan Bay, Yan'er Island Park features a boardwalk that runs along a seaside cliff.

There are two sandy beaches in the park. The sea is vast and open, and visitors can look out over it  from high vantage points. If you want to watch a sunset over the sea, the park is the perfect natural viewing platform.

Qingdao Art Museum

Built in 1934, the Qingdao Art Museum nestles in the famous Daxue road. The tranquil museum is surrounded by yellow tiles and red walls and still remains unknown to many visitors.
