Qingdao, China
 Ensconced on the southern tip of the Shandong peninsula along the Yellow Sea, this city of almost seven
million towers as the largest trading port in northern China. Yet, despite such an urban bulk it behaves in
the confident manner of a tourist resort. Its rare mesh of mountains and sea combine with a fairytale
beachfront setting of Bavarian architecture to conjure strange expectations of finding women dressed in
bikinis and men in lederhosen while snacking on hot apple strudel with chopsticks. Regardless of how
impossibly odd it sounds and seems, the bottom-line is that it cohesively works. Qingdao now averages
more than 15 million tourists a year. Major four and five star hotel chains are now the norm rather than the exception.
The 16 day International Beer Festival enjoys world recognition, and come 2008 Qingdao will serve as the host
Summer Olympic city for the sailing and beach volleyball competitions. Yet, amazingly, all of this dazzle
is new to the city.
