Delve into the history of German-Era Qingdao and its lasting legacy of finely preserved architecture, spa neighborhoods, and of course the introduction of Tsingtao Beer.

The tour starts atop Signal Hill, which boasts the best view of Qingdao's Old Town, and proceeds to a walking tour of the Old Town. The tour showcases the  Gothic-style St Michael's Cathedral, the 120-year-old Protestant Church and the Bavarian-style Old Governors Mansion, with a lunch stop at a local food market.
