A weekend in Qingdao


Came for some business and sightseeing to Qingdao for 2 days...Too bad the time was picked when there is HIGH season for tourism. There were people EVERYWHERE, traffic roamed and it was so misty no sun could be see on any of the beaches. The beaches were covered with green seaweed everywhere. So many traveling tours came here, if the people are not dissapointed with their trip I really wonder. If you are planning on going to Qingdao avoid June - August because you can't see anything else in the mist than Chinese tourists from other regions!

Ganbei with the world at Qingdao beer festival!!
Some seaweed, EVERYWHERE!
Views from hotel, worse time of the year but this is peak season, don't get it
Filmed a movie here, Germans build it when they were in charge of Qingdao 100 years ago. What Germans build 100 years ago is still usable, what Chinese build 20 years ago is already falling apart...Except the Great wall and Forbidden city :P

The city is famous for it's seafood and I tried all kinds of cool stuff. This was the first time I had seastars and red crabs with some mini clams. Really good! And along with that the brought Normal Qingdao beer, black beer, green beer + some other beers.
