Qingdao is probably my favorite city in the mainland of china ,and I’d like to choose living again if chance came . The weather in Qingdao could be quite humid in the summer season, but it doesn’t get quite as hot as other cities of China. The beaches is so nice ,although there might be too crowd, but you can choose Golden beach in Huangdao, which is not so crowd. The fresh beer of Qingdao is really nice and the sea food is great.
The winter in Qingdao is pretty cold, but all the houses and apartment have nice central heating system.
You can forget biking in Qingdao. The roads are tiny, curvy and there is no bike lane like the other Chinese cities. Also the place is very hilly.
There are many nice apartments in Qingdao, you will have lots of choices if you wanna rent apartments there and you can find the ideal one very quickly.
Another nice city close to Qingdao is Yantai. it’s a very, very clean and nice city on the bay north of Qingdao. It’s smaller than Qingdao, but I loved the place.
The Metro No.3 will run from the end of 2016,it will connect the main part of the city and will likely make Qingdao a lot more convenient to live in. Of course more and more Metro lines are under constructed now,for sure it will be more and more convenience for the transportation in Qingdao.
I lived in Qingdao for a while and love it. Qingdao is very close to both Japan and Korea and has huge expat populations from both countries, making good Japanese food like Sushi and very authentic Korean food very cheap and common. You can even spend about 200RMB to take a boat to Incheon if you want.
