Cool Off in China's Seaside Beer Town

[The China Guide]

 

Shandong province’s capital city, Qingdao, is famous for its seaside beaches, German inspired architecture, and China’s signature Tsingtao beer.

To escape the heat this August, Qingdao is the place to be for its annual International Beer Festival. Here revelers can enjoy a pint of some of the world’s favorites like Heineken, Budweiser, and Tiger. There are also lesser known beers from around the globe represented. The festivities include parades, beer tastings, drinking competitions, and much more. Beer starts flowing on August 10th and doesn’t stop until August 25th.

A trip to the Tsingtao Beer Brewery and Museum is a good way to get to know the city's beer legacy. The self-guided tour presents how this beer got its start from German settlers, the current brewing process, the beer's evolution, and it's popularity worldwide.

The China Guide can customize any tour to Qingdao. They can also include tickets to the Qingdao International Beer Festival. Check out www.thechinaguide.com for more tour options or email [e-mail] to start planning your trip today.
