Qingdao? What? We haven’t lost it — everyone probably know what is Qingdao without realizing it. If you been to a Chinese restaurant and ordered a Tsingtao beer, you know Qingdao. Qingdao is the new spelling for Tsingtao, just like Beijing is the new Peking, Guangzhou is the new Canton.
Qingdao is known for its beer and seafood.
