Things to do in Qingdao

It was a small group tour with a Chinese university student. The guide was very kind, and the scenery of Mount Lao was breathtaking! I highly recommend this tour.

We made the most of our day in Qingdao, visiting all the famous spots at a great value. Everything was perfect, from the pre-trip information and guiding to the punctuality of meeting times. However, with five people, including the driver, in a sedan, the seating was a bit uncomfortable during travel.

Great experience. We (4 others and I) had a driver/guide who grew up in the Laoshan area. She is witty, extremely knowledgeable and professional. I didn't remember her name though. My rudimentary understanding of Putonghua a.k.a. Mandarin, has helped though.

We really appreciate that they were able to accommodate us last minute. The guide was very patient with us and gave us extra care knowing that we were not locals. The views were phenomenal, but make sure to prepare for a sweaty climb up the mountain. Downsides were: 1) The bus was really hot - the airconditioning was barely tolerable in the afternoon heat. 2) The bus driver smoked at every stop opportunity, leaving the interior with a perpetual cigarette smell.

The famous Qingdao Beer Museum was incredibly crowded, but thanks to our advance reservation, we were able to go straight to the entrance, show our tickets, and get in. The product information stated the meeting point was the 'Tourist Center Ticket Plaza,' but I didn't know where that was, and there were too many people to use the multilingual audio guide. I thought it would be a location inside the museum, but it was hard to find. Despite that minor disappointment, we enjoyed exploring the facilities and savored the honey peanuts and two glasses of beer per person. The gift shop was quite large, and many people were buying beer, but you can purchase the original beer at the airport duty-free shop for the same price, so there's no need to carry it around beforehand. The honey-flavored peanuts are truly delicious! You can also find these at the duty-free shop. We also used the unlimited beer included in the package, and I went to the 1903 LAB. You can start using it from 4:30 PM, and the interior was clean, the staff were friendly, so we had a great time enjoying delicious snacks and drinks. You just show your QR code in advance and keep asking for refills. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance!

absolutely amazing! worth the ticket. the show start at 19:00 and finish around 20:05. We went on Sunday not so crowded mostly see local people but during the show there’s a subtitle. go for 360 platform so you can see the whole stage. The facility is far from city and metro, you can use bus to reach there but to come back better call DiDi(taxi)

The venue was beautifully decorated and the performances were interesting. The food was exquisite and artfully presented, served with a pot of tea and wine. We thoroughly enjoyed our night

I truly enjoyed the experience! The performance was professional and interactive with audiences. Wonderful experience! One reminder is not to book VIP for elderly as the seat design was slightly not friendly for audience to sit down/get up.

I accidentally booked the wrong place, thinking it was the Polar Ocean World, so I had to go to the Polar Ocean World and then come back here. When I went to the ticket booth at the entrance, I tried to show them a Papago translation, but the person immediately started yelling in Chinese. Even when I showed them that I'm Korean and don't understand Chinese well, they just kept getting annoyed and yelling. That immediately put me in a bad mood, but then someone who spoke English helped me. Even then, it seemed like they weren't familiar with Klook, as they didn't quite know how to process the entry. Oh, it was tough... The fish and other exhibits were just okay, worth about what I paid for it. You could see similar things in Korea for that price. And why were there two dried seafood shops at the end of the aquarium? It felt a bit strange. They show live fish and then sell dead fish as food. Yes... If I ever come back to Qingdao, I'd go to the Polar Ocean World instead of here.
