Qingming Festival is

Qingming Festival is coming up! Wondering where you can go for a 3-day trip that won’t cost an arm and a leg? Look no further than Qingdao. Only a short flight away from Shanghai, Qingdao is a city that was briefly occupied by the Germans in the 1890s. Due to the German occupation, this city is now famous for 2 things - its unique architecture in the old city center and Tsingtao beer! While it might not seem like 3 days is much time to get anything accomplished, you can actually see a lot in Qingdao. You can hike Laoshan and to be rewarded with stunning mountain views. The Tsingtao factory is also a must-visit to learn about the history of one of China’s most popular beers. In your down time you can wander the cobblestone streets of the old city center and marvel at the German architecture. #qingdaotravel #qingdao #awesomepic#hiking#urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel
