I just got offered a job in Qingdao. I was working and living in Shanghai for 10 years, but right now I'm back in Los Angeles. Your video has made me want to accept the job offer even more! Thank you. Cheers

Hey! Qingdao really is great, if you do accept it you’ll have a blast! Good luck!

[@JieyuChen-zf2sn]

Yeap, Qingdao and Dalian are similar in many aspects.

[@jiaxunchat]

Yes you are 90% right, while if you add climate and culture facts to compare 2 cities, no doubt "QingDao" is the best.

As someone from qingdao I agree

[@clueless485]

Thank you for sharing with us this beautiful city. Qingdao in Chinese literally means "green island". The city tourism authority should pay you for your work because you have done a better job than they did. I hope to visit Qingdao someday.

Stunning beauty. Never heard of this city until I watched your video. Most definitely a must see destination if I ever travel to China. Thanks for bringing this awesome video to us. By the way, is it expensive to holiday and have a decent meal there ?

[@kimberleyexploring]

Thanks for the support! Really appreciate it! Qingdao is a Tier 2 city so the prices are reasonable. If you want to stay at a 5* western style hotel you certainly will pay under £100 a night. It’s affordable for a holiday and the prices for food are reasonably cheap, western food will be a little more expensive though. Hope that helps :D

This is a very pretty city. Thanks for sharing. This is where lots of Germans live, I heard. Well, more than any other city in China. Seeing European architecture in China I'm not going to lie, it's pretty cool.

[@kimberleyexploring]

Thanks for the comment. Qingdao has some great night markets (one in Taidong and one in Licun). Both markets can be accessed easily by the subway, on Line 2. They have lots of souvenirs, small gifts, phone cases and food! I’m not too sure about where to find the best electronics place but ‘Dian zi xin xi cheng’/ ‘电子信息城’ should have everything you need. It’s a street full of electronic stores and mini malls. Hope this helps 😊

[@gryblk21]

I am curious whether Qingdao is having heat waves like some other cities in Asia. I think being next to the ocean should help even though it is more humid.

[@kimberleyexploring]

Qingdao is usually top 20 degrees. Being by the ocean certainly helps. It isn’t too humid either, there are quite a few rainy days.

[@Hoo88846]

Humidity depends on how hot the weather is. There is more humidity toward the equator and subtropical and tropical countries because the heat evaporated the water from the ocean to make water vapor in the air (humidity). Qingdao is in the northern part of China with high altitude, so there won’t be as much heat to evaporate the water into water vapor.

Love this video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
