A tip I have about this place — 1 year ago
If you are flying here, try your hardest to get a flight that arrives well before 7:30 pm, as that is the time that the airport bus stops running. If you arrive after that, as I did, you will be forced to take a taxi for the long ride into town, and they will try and raise the price mid journey on you. If you find yourself in this situation, try and do what I did: agree to the new price but don’t pay until you reach your destination, then when you arrive, grab your bags and give them the originally agreed fee and run inside. When I was at the airport, the guy who grabbed me offered 70¥ to go to the hostel in town, which was the best offer, but midway through the driver said “today is 150¥”, while we were in the middle of no where.
Another tip, if you want to take the Tsingtao Brewery tour, the Museum of Tsingtao is what you want, and is fairly close to downtown. The World of Beer in the east part of town is a now abandoned amusement park, which while cool in its own way, won’t provide you with any beer.
