CHINA Day 9/10-HENAN SHANDONG-APR 2015

 Day 9

18 Apr 2015

At Qingdao

Qingdao is a major city in eastern Shandong and also a major seaport.





Qingdao was once occupied by the Japanese as well as the German. As such Japanese and German legacies are very visible in Qingdao.

The German left behind a beautiful, well planned Western style town. There are many mansions too. The other legacy is Tsingtao Beer. Our tour bus did a drive by these areas.

Zhongshan Park has over 20,000 Japanese cherry trees and wide arrays of other flowering plants. Our visit here was the right time to see the cherry blossoms. It is a must see attraction in Qingdao
