Presenter: Trevor Cochrane

Qingdao, in China’s eastern Shandong province, is a port city of skyscrapers, parks and beaches bordering the Yellow Sea. It's known for its beer, a legacy of the German occupation (1898-1914).

• Qingdao boasts one of the longest beaches in all of Asia and with its proximity to both Korea and Japan, Qingdao stands as one of China’s most important trade centres.
• The city’s German and Japanese heritage structures have for the most part been preserved in Badaguan, a historical mansion area which literally translates to “the Great Eight Passes” and its streets are named after great military fortresses from the region.
• With Viking you can take a guided tour or self-tour with a “quiet vox” audio guide filling you in on the city’s rich heritage as you explore.
• What a great way to explore a city.
