Luke Hyde takes us to Mount Lao, a coastal mountain range near Qingdao in Shandong Province, China, famed for its Taoist heritage and granite landscapes that overlook the Yellow Sea. The video strolls through Beijiushui Scenic Spot, where clear mountain streams, cascading waterfalls, and forested trails invite quiet reflection and easy exploration. We then shift to Jufeng Scenic Spot, home to the highest peak of Mount Lao, where a climb to Jufeng Peak at 1,133 meters rewards viewers with sweeping views of the coastline and the surrounding countryside. The journey captures the serene beauty and spiritual aura of this sacred mountain, offering a vivid sense of place that blends natural majesty with cultural significance. Filmed on April 8, 2025, the footage is a snapshot of an approachable yet awe-inspiring hiking experience along Shandong’s storied coastline.
