Qingdao Beer and Seafood Weekend
Stay in Taidong, drink fresh beer on Dengzhou Road, browse the seafood market on Yingkou Road, then eat longstanding snacks at Pichai Courtyard on Zhongshan Road.
This food-focused weekend route has two main threads. On day one, visit the Beer Museum and drink fresh beer on Dengzhou Road. Then go to the seafood market on Yingkou Road, buy your catch and have it cooked at a restaurant, and stroll around Taidong in the evening. On day two, eat longstanding local snacks such as guotie and pot-braised pork at Zhanqiao Pier, Zhongshan Road and Pichai Courtyard, visit a church on the way, and leave. Staying in Taidong makes late-night snacks easy. Few sights are included, so this suits friends traveling together who love seafood.
The Qingdao International Beer Festival takes place in August. Oysters and crabs are at their best after September.
