Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

In the morning, the local guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel then start you off on a full-day trip. Firstly visit the must-see Mt. Laoshan standing tall and majestic with a backdrop of marvelous mountainous scenery and coastal landscape. Take note of the coastal line winding around the mountain with various rocks, islets and bays staggering all together. Also listen to the guide’s commentary to learn more about Taoist culture and find out about the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC) who came here hoping to meet immortals.

Stop 2

Stop for a sumptuous and tasty lunch then in the afternoon drive back to the city to visit Qingdao Beer Museum: China's oldest brewery (1903) and a favorite tourist destination where you can experience the feeling of being hammered without actually drinking in the “drunk room” specially designed to simulate the different effects of alcohol, such as loss of balance. This will then mark the end of your tour after which you will be dropped off at your hotel.
