Qingdao is situated on the Yellow Sea, in the east of Shandong province.

The town boasts one of China's major sea ports, which is free of ice all the year round, and it is also the chief industrial center of Shandong province.

Qingdao is known for its mineral water from Mount Laoshan (Laoshan Kuanghuanshui).

Qingdao's mild climate and beautiful, clean beaches attract both Chinese and foreign tourists.

Qingdao (''Green Island'') was a small trading port as long ago as the Song era (960-1279). From 1874 onwards it grew in strategic importance as first fortifications and then military harbor installations were built.
