Quingdao is about 700km south east from Shijiazhuang and the train ride will take us about 11 hours. We are going there as our students say it is absolutely beautiful and that the air will be much much fresher and the weather warmer than here. This is probably going to be our last chance to go anywhere until our break in February, so we thought we'd get the last of the warm weather in. It will be nice to walk along a beach and take in some fresh sea air-maybe even take a dip!
Formely a German controlled city, Quindgao still has a european feel about it and thanks to the Germans is home to Tsingtao- Chinese most famous and internationally exported beer. Unfotunately we missed the august beer festival but think that we may be *forced* to have a tour of the brewery. Should be interesting.
Theres 7 beaches, a pier, a museum and some churches to keep us busy as well. So next week the posts on here should start getting interesting again - if they ever were.
Cheers to Dave for the Map.
