Navy Park sits at the intersection of Hai’an Road and Navy Road in Huangdao District, Qingdao. It’s right on the coast, so you get amazing sea views and fresh ocean breezes. To reach here, you can:
- By public transport: Take the metro to Huangdao Station, then transfer to bus #L2 or #305. Get off at “Navy Road” and walk 5 minutes.
- By car: Drive along the coastal road (G204) toward Huangdao. Parking is available near the entrance, but weekends get busy.
Natural Scenery: Sea, Sky, and Greenery
Navy Park is all about blending military vibes with nature. The park stretches along the coast, so you’ll find:
- A long wooden boardwalk perfect for morning walks or sunset strolls.
- Rocky shores where waves crash—great for photo ops!
- Lush grassy areas with palm trees and flower beds. Locals love picnicking here.
- A small lookout tower offering panoramic views of the Yellow Sea.

- A mini-museum showing old navy uniforms, tools, and models of Chinese ships.
- Fake warships along the coast that look super realistic. Great for Instagram!
