Museums in Qingdao
Edit ThisTsingtao Pijou Brewery
Edit ThisQingdao is known around the world for its wonderful alcoholic beverage,
Tsingtao Pijou (Tsingtao is the old Romanization of Qingdao). You
can find the beer in kegs on any street in town and buy it in a bag for
cheap. The brewery has an adorable tour where you get free pijou
(filtered and unfiltered) and learn about the history of the beer, and
China. Be sure to bring some buddies to get tipsy with you, and a
few kuai for miscellaneous souvenirs in the gift shop.
