City overview
Located on China’s beautiful easterly coastline, Qingdao is the perfect blend of urban excitement and natural beauty. One of the city’s most important landmarks is Zhan Bridge, which makes for a very atmospheric stroll. Huiquan Bathing Place in Huiguan Bay is arguably the most popular bathing spot in the city, thanks to its clean, soft sand, clear water, and gentle waves that make it ideal for swimming. The Golden Sand Beach, with its lovely warm waters, is another great place to visit. Head down to Badaguan Scenic Area to see elegant gardens and a unique mishmash of foreign villas and other attractions. Mount Laoshan, which towers over the city, is renowned as the birthplace of Taoism in China. There are several hiking trails around the mountain, so you can choose one to suit your schedule and hiking ability, and enjoy superb views over Qingdao. Climbing to the peak of the mountain is a very exhilarating experience, and it takes between two and three days to get to the summit of the mountain and back down again. The city has so many wonderful restaurants to explore, and it is particularly famous for its local, traditionally cooked, clams.

Ships, sea and river ferries taxis, and the railway are other methods of transport available in the city.
Getting from the Airport to the City
Getting downtown from Qingdao Liuting International Airport (TAO) is very easy as there are 5 different shuttle buses that you can take to get to various destinations in the city. The journey is around 14 miles. You can also rent a car, or take a taxi, to make this journey. Many car rental companies will enable you to book your vehicle online before you travel, and will have it ready for you to pick up when your flight arrives at the airport.
