Which city in China do you think is the best for retirement?

Of course it is Qingdao, a city full of beer, "red tiles and green trees, blue sea and blue sky" is a true reflection of it, flocks of seagulls, a large number of classic old European-style buildings is the most unique scenery here. Obviously the characteristics of the maritime climate, four seasons, the air is particularly humid, you can eat different sea food throughout the year. Everyone knows it is a pleasant place to live, surely suitable for retirement, climate is not cold or hot needless to say, the city construction over the years is to create a beautiful environment. 

Qingdao is located at the southern tip of the Shandong Peninsula, is a famous coastal vacation tourist city. There are many seaside cities in China, but Qingdao gives a particularly romantic and leisurely impression. Its unique architectural style and cultural heritage make its reputation quite high.  

At a time when environmental protection is of great concern, "blue sky, white clouds and twinkling stars" is also an important indicator of Qingdao's attractiveness to the elderly. In addition, Qingdao's forest coverage rate has reached 39.4%, with 14.6 square meters of green space per capita, and was officially awarded the title of "National Forest City" in 2015.

Qingdao is striving to become a central city with a well-developed economy and a strong attraction to the floating population with good employment opportunities,more and more outsiders are choosing to buy a home in Qingdao or settle down. The real estate of the elderly has been highly regarded these years.

In addition,Qingdao's pension policy and pension industry are more developed. As of the end of 2016, Qingdao had a household population of 1.685 million people over the age of 60, with an aging rate of 21.3. This has forced Qingdao people to plan carefully for their old age, and this has been particularly prominent in the integration of medical care. In February, Qingdao was selected as one of the first cities in the province to demonstrate the integration of medical care, and there are nearly 700 medical care institutions.

It used to be thought that culture was Qingdao's shortcoming. But the construction and excavation in recent years have greatly changed this impression. Qingdao has more sightseeing spots, such as Badaguan, Trestle Bridge, Wusi Square, Qingdao Haichang Polar Ocean World, Zhejiang Road Catholic Church, Qingdao Beer Museum, etc., as well as Qingdao's old buildings which are more of a microcosm of the century-old Qingdao's history and humanity. In addition, the construction of colleges and universities in these years is also rapid progress.

While everyone has a different definition of happiness, the ultimate goal is certainly not to have a life of wine and liquor, but rather to find the most desirable days in a dull life of oil, rice, oil and salt! Qingdao is the most livable city of this size.
