08:30 Departure from hotel /pier 9:00 Xiaoyushan Park & Zhanqiao Pier Xiaoyushan Park is one of the best scenic spot along the seaside of Qingdao, though the hill is not high, it has marvellous view over the Huiquan Bay and other scenic spots like Zhanqiao Pier, Little Qingdao Isle, Lu Xun Park and Eight Passes Scenic Area. From the top of the hill you can see beautiful landscape featuring red tile, green tree and azure sky and blue ocean. "Fish Hill Autumn Moon" is one of the Top Ten Scenic Spots of Qingdao. The pier was built in 1891 as a warehouse. It stretches some 440 meters from Taiping Road to its southern extremity far out to sea. A traditional octagonal pavilion has been added at the southern end. It is an ideal place to enjoy the sea view and the contrast between modern buildings and old German concession. 10:30 Badagaun - Eight Great Passes Scenic Area Eight Great Passes Area is used to have eight avenues that were named after eight famous passes in China. On October 12, 1898, the German Kaiser Wilhelm II formally named the Jiao’ao Concession downtown area as Qingdao, and went on to apply to Qingdao the late 19th century’s mist advanced European city planning concepts. The Badaguan villa area was a result of that city planning. Imbued with foreign flavor, Badaguan, this 'museum of world architecture,' encompasses nearly a hundred villas in different styles. 11:30 Qingdao Beer Museum (Tsingtao Brewery) Perhaps one of the few positive legacies of Western colonialism in China is Qingdao Brewery, established by the Germans at the turn of the century. Some of the old wooden machinery is still in use, although it is being supplanted by glistening new bottling machines recently imported from the Federal Republic of Germany. Instead of the usual “briefing with tea,” visitors to the brewery will get a “briefing with beer,” served ice-cold in the traditional green bottles. 12:30 Lunch in the local restaurant 13:30 return to hotel
