Qingdao
Soft Sand and Open Sea
You don’t have to leave the country to enjoy some fun in the sun. Qingdao, just a train ride away from Beijing, is one of China’s best options for a seaside holiday, and with its six beaches children won’t be disappointed. If you are a seafood lover, visiting the local fish market is a must! The winding cobblestone streets of the old town are the perfect place to take a leisurely stroll in search of interesting architecture among the red roofs, blue sea and white sand. Qingdao began as a small fishing village, and the local cuisine attests to these authentic roots. The city emanates a very modern and European feel due to its Germanic legacy and fresh seaside appeal.
