• Qingdao Beer Museum - If the previously mentioned sites do not interest you, consider visiting the Qingdao Beer Museum.

The German Beer Company Qingdao Branch, established in 1903, was China’s first brewing factory built with European technology and is the predecessor of the Tsingtao Brewery Company. Currently, the Qingdao Beer Museum operates 55 brewing and malt factories across 18 cities and provinces in China. The century-old Tsingtao Beer has crafted its own history and culture. The museum was designed by a talented architect and designer, incorporating both Chinese and Western cultural elements.

Accompany your tour guide to explore the museum and sample a variety of freshly brewed beers, with the opportunity to purchase a range of souvenirs.

After the tour, you will be transported back to your hotel in Qingdao or Qingdao International Port.
