Qingdao Introduction


Qingdao, an old port city situated on the Southern coast of Shandong, is a quaint and popular spot. It lies between mountain and sea, a well-chosen coastal port with clear deep waters and a comfortable climate.

Qingdao owns China"s best northern beach resort as well. What"s more, as a German concession taken in 1897 and ceded for a total of 99 years, the city retains much of its colonial architecture and charm. German influence is impressive in town planning, with lush wooded avenues and some of China"s best parks.
