If you search the word "Qingdao" on a number of major social media platforms such as Xiaohongshu, you would definitely find Xiaomaidao Park among the top few Internet-famous scenic spots. Rising to fame in recent years, Xiaomaidao Park is connected to the land through only one road. It faces the downtown area across the sea and is like a large garden on the sea, with lush vegetation and stretches of flat grassland.

Owning a sea view in 360 degrees, it has drawn countless citizens and tourists to have picnics or take strolls here and it has also become a popular choice for couples to take romantic wedding photos. In addition, in the recent two years, Xiaomaidao Park has got a new nickname — the Island of Music. Every week, a group of music lovers would gather there to hold open-air concerts, sometimes with planning while sometimes without, to have a good time together on the islet surrounded by the sea and accompanied by music.
