Qingdao, nights on the beach, lights off the sea, waves crashing and fresh air. The sea sucks up the pollution and gives you a smell of fresh ocean goodness. The ocean is one of Qingdao's best features. You can easily find a place on a rock or sandy spot to be alone, reflect on the wonders of nature and the amazing power of the sea and the tide.Qingdao is not a typical Chinese city. Although it is big enough to offer all the Western comforts of home, it retains a simpleness andsmall town feel. You CAN get away from it all in Qingdao. You can find a place to relax. And the city itself does not feel like the bustling metropolis it is becoming. Qingdao offers the best of both worlds. If you crave the authentic Chinese experience, you can immerse yourself in Chinese culture and make as many Chinese friends as you want. You can learn Chinese from anyone, as the locals are enthralled and impressed by foreigners who show an interest in the language. On the other hand, if you crave the company of other foreigners, the city is ripe with them. Just find a local nightclub and foreigners are in abundance.
Qingdao is a great place for people who want a mix of the old and the new, the East and a bit of the West. |
