The airport is in the suburb of Qingdao, Chengyang District, 35 kilometers away from the center of the city, nearly an hour's drive. The bus station in Sifang District, Sifang is the old city, basically no attractions, the train is the most convenient, out of the train station is the sea, next to Qingdao's representative attractions: Trestle Bridge, if the baggage is simple, the train does not have to land, you can directly start the trip. If you are traveling by car, please note that Qingdao's road conditions are very poor, the roads are rugged and complicated, and there are many one-way streets, so it is very difficult for foreigners to drive in Qingdao, because most of the roads are slanted, so the Qingdao locals do not ask for directions to the southeast, west, and north, but use the front and back of the left and right instead
Here is a list of some of the most representative attractions for friends to refer to, starting from the train station, and from the west to the east of the coastal area. A line of attractions in the order of travel are as follows:
A train station: the door has a lot of hotels and attractions to the solicitors, it is recommended that you do not participate in the reasons not to say, but especially to remind some of the young people who just graduated, encountered a similar lottery, lottery, free rides, face-to-face, to send the amulet, the chess stumps. etc., can not participate, remember to remember

Back to business, the problem of living in Qingdao, Qingdao five-star hotels there are more than a dozen, Sea View Garden and Shangri-La is particularly well known, four-star and three-star and business hotels can not be counted, but every year in July, August and September, Qingdao, most of the hotel rooms will be booked, so if you plan to stay in the star-rated hotels, it is best to come to the previous through a number of large well-known travel website (Ctrip, Yilong, etc.) to book a good room, and the best way to get to the hotel, you will be able to get to the hotel. If you plan to stay in a star-rated hotel, you'd better book a room through some big famous travel websites (Ctrip, E-Long, etc.) before you come, otherwise, if you book a room after you come here, the price may be very high, or even there is no room available (the hotel's room price is generally divided into the agreement price cooperated with the major travel agencies, the hotel has its own business cooperation with large customers, and there are also the price of the front desk of the casual guest, which is a big difference, if you book a room directly to the front desk in the identity of a casual guest, it may be higher than that of the price booked through the travel agency). Through the group purchase, many of the group purchase price is a front, can not be used, in between, the train station around the small family hotel may be one or two hundred dollars a night, if you really can not book a room, you can go to the train station a little farther away from the place, Shibei District or Sifang District of the hotel to stay, the price is low, the room is cost-effective. Really can not handle, you have to go to the bath center, Qingdao's bath center is still very hot, twenty or thirty yuan will be able to bath + foot + head and shoulder massage + hall rest overnight, especially cost-effective, but it is always a place of right and wrong, not familiar with the best place not to go, Oh, the last move, is the beach camping, of course, can not sleep directly on the beach, you can bring their own tents, but also romantic and money, need to be reminded of Qingdao's night, to the second half of the night is very cold, pay attention to warmth, bring some thick clothes.
Summarize, come to Qingdao do not forget a few things, bathe in the sea, eat seafood, drink beer, stroll along the beach, and then buy some pearls, seashells, dry seafood, green tea and other souvenirs on the OK, if you encountered any trouble during the trip, you can pull the Tourism Bureau's complaint phone, 12301, if no one answered, they also have another two hotlines, 110 and 12345, haha
