3.5km long beach day today, Golden Sandy / Jinshatan Beach
The next day we took a day trip to the local beach, Golden Sandy Beach 金沙滩(青岛印象·金沙滩东北), only 30 minutes drive from the camping and it was one of the best beaches I have visited in China. Very clean and nice with cleaners and guards working to keep it tidy and safe.
The beach is about 3,500m long and 300m wide and known as the “The number No. 1 beach in Asia”.
Jinshatan can be divided into seven areas: exhibition area, sports area, children’s land, seashore entertainment area, bathing area, leisure area and shopping area. The recreational facilities are well equipped. During the day, visitors can go yachting, speed boating or surfing. Football and volleyball matches are held here, as well as musical performances and evening parties. After a busy day, it is good to have a relaxing bath in the bathing area, then camp on the Golden Sand Beach and enjoy the beautiful night.
Having fun on the beach was a relaxing moment for all of us. The day was a little bit murky but that did not stop us from having fun.
Evening we headed for the famous food street. The restaurants were packed and needed to wait in a queue to get in.
