Welcome to Qingdao, China! This is Jenny Sun, professional tour guide born and raised in this beautiful coastal city.

Here I am providing you tour tips from the perspective of a local resident. 

Qingdao, known as the green island, is the 7th largest port in the world. Can you imagine that? it is a fully automative port. If you get a chance, definitely check it out.

The old town of Qingdao carries more flavor, it bears the history of the city, and the most important element of the development of the city. 

The German street, Zhanqiao pier, catholic church, pichai yard, jimo road market. small fishery park, the guest house, signal hill. 

If you want to check out some hidden gems inside the city, contact me! I will take you to see the places where only locals go. 

After the historical old town visit, you are now at the transitional spot: Eight Great Passes. 

In the late afternoon, visit the Beer Museum, it is the only beer factory that is using the German brewery recipe.

At night, go back to the modern town, strolling around May forth square, music playground, the Olympic sailing center.

That's wrap for the one-day classic tour in Qingdao. If you need more advice, click on my profile and write me an email via synotrip. it is free of charge.
