Trip to Qingdao

Wong Yu-Kai

I went to Qingdao last week on a 4 night/5 day trip. Qingdao is located at the eastern part of Shadong Province near the Yellow Sea. It is a beautiful place to visit. In 1879, Qingdao was occupied by Germany. They then built a grant luxurious governor resident, government house, a Catholic church and many European style houses. They thought they could stay in Qingdao forever. 

It was the last day of our trip, we visited the famous Tsingtao Brewery Group where I drank the very fresh and tasty cold beer. I was told the beer was the same day product and I believed them. I am not a beer drinker but I like the Tsingtao beer very much because I drank it at the Tsingtao factory. In 1903, Tsingtao Brewery Factory was the earliest beer brewer established in China. Here is something about Tsingtao. It is the only brand in mainland China to be appraised as one of "Asian Fifty Brands" in 1999 and the company was selected as one of "Ten Most Influential Enterprises in China in 2000.
