The journey, in full

Meet your tour guide in the lobby of your Qingdao hotel or Cruise Port, then hop on your private vehicle heading directly to Xiaoyushan Park. Xiaoyushan Park is a classical Chinese garden characterized by distinctive pavilions, corridors, and abundant flowers and trees. Follow your tour guide as you stroll around the park, learning about the history and stories of Qingdao City. Walk to the hilltop to enjoy a panoramic view of the city. Next, visit Qingdao Yingbinguan to admire the royal European-style building that used to be the residence of the German Governor in Qingdao. The four-story building contains 30 rooms of various sizes, including 13 main rooms, each serving different functions. As you walk past the Badaguan Scenic Area, take in the foreign villas and paths. Stroll around the area with your tour guide, appreciating the peace and unique architecture. After lunch at a local restaurant, explore the world-famous Qingdao Beer Museum. Established in 1903 by the German Beer Company Qingdao Branch, this was China's first brewing factory built with European technology and served as the predecessor of the Tsingtao Brewery Company. The museum now owns 55 brewing factories and malt factories in 18 cities and provinces across China. The one-hundred-year-old Tsingtao Beer has its rich history and culture. The museum itself was designed by a talented architect and designer, blending both Chinese and Western influences. Follow your tour guide through the museum to sample various freshly brewed beers and browse a variety of souvenirs available for purchase. After the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Qingdao or Qingdao International Port.
