Taipingjiao
太平角
A rocky headland at the southeastern end of Badaguan, with a quiet, winding coastline. It is a low-key spot where locals come to enjoy the sea and take photos.
Taipingjiao is a headland jutting into the sea at the southeastern tip of the Badaguan area, between the Qingdao No. 2 and No. 3 Bathing Beaches. Jagged reefs line its shore, and it still retains several Republican-era villas and sanatoriums. Walking the Taipingjiao Park trail, you can see the coastal reefs, a lighthouse-style structure and sea views toward Shilaoren Beach across the bay. It is much less crowded than the core area of Badaguan. Entry is free. At low tide you can go seafood foraging on the rocks, but watch the tides and the slippery surfaces.
