Qingdao Day 2, China
As a coastal city, Qingdao is quite similar to Dalian.
View from the hostel in the morning.
Morning exercise – wushu practice
Met up with Byron in the morning at ShiMao square at the east part of town and played badminton at high school no. 25 for 2 hours. I have not played badminton for a long time so had a good workout.
Was trying to visit LaoShan, there is a famoust Taoist temple there but buses there are not frequent so we canceled the plan.
Qingdao hosted the Sailing competition during the Olympics.
Olympic park.
Bridge similar to the one in Dalian
Swimming in winter. 1,2,3 Jump..

BaDaGuan, an area with some old colonial houses.
Met some travelers on the street and head to QingDao brewery.
I didn’t go in since it’s just another brewery.
Tsingtao beer office next to the museum
Indoor shops
TaiDong
Dinner with Byron, Sam and Laura. Shangdong is famous for its Lu cuisine, I guess the dishes were cooked in Lu style.
