《青岛:山海帆都(英文版)》内容简介：If you have ever been to a Chinese restaurant anywhere in the world and ordered a beer, chances are it was from Oingdao. You may know the name, but what behind it is worth exploring. Unlike many major Asian cities, Oingdao is not a collection of high-rises and concrete. It is unlike any other city on its side of the planet because it was built by Europeans and holds on to that flavor.

You do not know you are in Asia when walking through Oingdao, and the location next to the ocean makes it that much better. However, Oingdao is more than oceans and beautiful buildings. Its beginnings as a trade hub for Germany gave this once small fishing village the connections and culture needed to succeed on a global scale.

Surf, sand and Serious progress is not just a group of words. In Qingdao, they are simply observations.
