The City
The guide was updated:
Perched on the Yellow Sea along the Shandong Peninsula, Qingdao is a fascinating mix of German and Chinese influences, where colonial-era villas in the Badaguan district sit alongside bustling local markets and seaside promenades.
Exploring Qingdao is best done on foot—start with a stroll through the leafy paths of Zhongshan Park, then join locals at Zhanqiao Pier for sweeping sea views and a taste of the city’s easygoing coastal vibe. Grab a skewer of grilled squid or a cold Tsingtao beer from a nearby stall, and you’ll get a real feel for what makes Qingdao special.
