Q: Where should I stay in Qingdao??
Hey guys,
I have a short business trip in a shandong farmer town, with a day and a half of freedom in Qingdao tacked onto the end. Never been. Yes I googled before I asked, so judging from restaurants and pubs addresses,am I right in assuming that Shi Nan Disctrict is kind of the center of the city??? Where should I be staying?? Not looking to do much I guess, just check it out, and im not sure why, but I feel like I should eat German food there..... But Ill probably not be able to find a place and go to a paulaners instead.

Oh also, Does anyone know of a qingdao expat website?? When I google it I get a few that dont seem to have any traffic. So does it have a wierd name?? There must be a rather large expat community there I would assume. Thanks!
I'll call my US buddy. He just came off Qing,,,,
Shi Nan district is the thing in Qing. All 5 star hotels in Shi Nan. You got everything there! Other thing, he mentioned is 'beach'. No specific website, but 'Travel advisor' carry some 'news' about Qing.
Have a good time! on Co. expense, you 'bas……'…LOL

hey, thanks man. Ok, ill stay there and just walk around untill I find something interesting. Much appreciated!
Shinan district is where you want to be, Hong Kong Middle Road, probably. Hotels such as Holiday Inn, Intercon, Westin...There are other options. It's expensive here in the summer-dirt cheap in the winter. Are you looking for recommendations? Most of the "international," and I use that term loosely, restaurants are in that area along with the bars/pubs.
If you're looking for something to do, try this site.

Hey, thanks so much! Ill tell the taxi driver to take me there and ill scope it out. Any foreigner pubs in particular i should check out?
mike695ca:
Thanks alot for the website as well. Exactly what i was looking for. although all comments and reviews look to be at minimum a year old. Soooo hopefully these places still exist!!
wagon:
Yeah, the online community here is very weak. People read but don't often comment. I don't know what you're looking for in a hotel, entertainment, bars, and so on, nor your price range, but if you want to pm me I'll try to help.
Whatever you do, don't visit Underwater World! Waste of time and money.
mike695ca:
Haha thanks, i try to avoid all zoos in china as it is. If i see you more dad encouraging his kid to throw rocks at an animal , im gonna get arrested for murder.

I met beggar today in my city with small monkey on chain. I stopped, because I wanted to see animal closer.
L paw (some 10cm of the leg) cut off!
I was thinking, he couldn't manage the animal, and for easier 'beggar's life', he maimed it.
Soul-less!
