Shilaoren

Unique tourist villa and hotel architecture, fine sand bathing beaches, and numerous symbolic cultural and sports facilities are the feature in this area. The Ocean Park, the Dolphinarium, the International Beer City, the Golf Course, the International Convention Center, the Cultural Exposition Center, the Century Square and the Municipal Sport Center are all places visitors should not miss.

ShiLaoRen （shí lǎo rén: 石老人, Old Stone Man) is perhaps Qingdao's most impressive tourist beach.  It was named after shape of the prominent rock outcropping located just of the ShiLaoRen Peninsula and is said to resemble an old fisherman waiting for his daughter to return from beneath the waves.  With tables, chairs, tents, ATVs, speed boats, jet skis, showers, and a beautiful new boardwalk as well as continuing re-development for the 2008 Olympic Sailing Regatta, this is an ideal place to spend an afternoon or warm summer evening.  If you are into boogie boarding this beach, on occasion, will provide large enough waves to give you a decent ride.
