Qingdao · Day Trip
Xiaoyushan Hill, the German Governor’s Mansion, the cathedral and Pichaiyuan alley — the German quarter of Qingdao in one walk.
Morning from the hill park above the bay — the best view over the red-tile old town and the sea.
The Governor’s Mansion (Yingbin Hotel) on the ridge, then downhill past the former governor’s offices to St. Michael’s Cathedral.
Lunch in the Pichaiyuan snack alley — the bean-curd jelly and the seafood — before the ten-minute walk to the Zhanqiao Pier.
