Qingdao - Shandong Province

Qingdao makes a refreshing change from some of China’s bigger modern cities. With its coastline and colonial heritage, reflected in the cobbled streets and still-intact German architecture, Qingdao is a great place to stop, take a breath, and relax - something which is becoming increasingly hard to do in a country as big and chaotic as China. Qingdao is also the home of China’s famous Tsingtao Beer, which you may find impossible to avoid during your stay here!
