Located in Qingdao West Coast New Area, Shandong province, Lingshan Island has developed significantly since the 1980s, establishing itself as a "tourist summer retreat and sanatorium area". In a significant step forward, the island received approval in April 2014 to establish a national marine park, cementing its status as a top leisure destination.

The island's bed-and-breakfast stays, enveloped by mountains and sea, offer guests a chance to witness the sunrise over the ocean from the comfort of their rooms. Visitors can revel in the starry skies, take in the panoramic views of the mountains and sea, and enjoy the sea breeze complemented by a cold beer and fresh seafood.
