It is a major city in the eastern Shandong Province in Eastern China. The city&#8217;s name means &#8220;Green Island&#8221;, indicating its lush greenery. Qingdao is a major sea port, naval base, and industrial centre. It is also home to the world&#8217;s longest sea bridge, the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge, and the Tsingtao Brewery, the second largest brewery in China. Qingdao has been named the most livable city in China. Qingdao&#8217;s city centre contains a large number of German-style buildings, which is remarkable, as the German colonial period lasted only 16 years. The mix of German and Chinese architecture, German demographic roots, and a large number of Korean expatriates gives Qingdao a distinct \u201cmelting pot\u201d atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Here are some of the top places to visit in Qingdao<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Shilaoren Beach<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Qingdao Protestant Church and St. Emil Church<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">May 4th Square<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Small Qingdao Island<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Qingdao Polar Ocean World<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No.1 Bathing Beach<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Zhanqiao Pier<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Badaguan (Eight Passes)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mount Laoshan<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Things to do in Qingdao<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Visit Badaguan Scenic Area<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Go flower viewing in Zhongshan Park<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Spend the afternoon on Small Qingdao Island<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Take a swig of Qingdao beer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Taste some of Qingdao&#8217;s wine<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cheers!
