Qingdao, one of China's most livable cities, is located on the east coast, about a 5-hour train ride southeast from Beijing.
Preparing for departure at Beijing South Train Station.
Tsingtao, China's most well-known beer, is produced in Qingdao, so a visit to the city wouldn't be complete without a visit to the beer museum (bottom 2 photos). Interesting that beer in Qingdao is often sold in plastic bags.
Qingdao is also known for its seafood ....
... and for its beaches.
Above, Qingdao's large and beautiful Zhongshan Park.
Above 3 photos taken at Qingdao's Tianhou Temple, built in 1467. Tianhou is the patron of seafarers.
The Qingdao TV Tower is brilliant at night. We were lucky to have a view of it from our hotel room.
Qingdao's famous May 4 Square. The May 4th movement came about after the Treaty of Versailles "
transferred German concessions in Shandong including Qingdao to Japan rather than returning sovereign authority to China."
