Red brick roofs
Seashore
Qingdao is most famous for its beer, but it has much else to recommend it. It was
annexed by Germany at the turn of the (last) century (hence the beer), and still has
a fair number of red-brick European-type mansions. It's a seaside town, and it
seemed to me to have a more relaxed, less urgent tempo than Wuhan, let alone
Beijing. An excellent spot for a weekend getaway.
