Dance with Seagulls in Winter Qingdao

In this snow-covered winter, I embarked on a journey to Zhanqiao Pier in Qingdao, with a gentle expectation for the creatures of nature. Although winter in Qingdao is a bit chilly, it also hides a unique warmth and vitality. Zhanqiao Pier, an old bridge that has witnessed countless changes over the years, looks more simple and tranquil in the winter sun, like an elegant ink painting quietly spread between the sea and the sky. From The Westin Qingdao, take the subway directly to Qingdao Railway Station. You can walk to Zhanqiao Pier after exiting the station. I carried a small bag full of breadcrumbs and walked slowly along the pier, each step a close conversation with the winter ocean. Soon, flocks of white seagulls came into view. They either hovered at low altitude or perched lightly on the railings, curiously looking at every passerby with their shiny black eyes, as if welcoming every friend from afar. Feeding seagulls at Zhanqiao Pier in winter is not just a simple natural experience, but also a spiritual baptism, allowing people to find a rare peace and freedom beyond the hustle and bustle. Here, people and nature coexist harmoniously, weaving the warmest stories of winter together.
