Trip Overview

We'll eat the way Qingdao locals do. This two-day food trip starts at Tuandao wet market — pick seafood, find a cooking shop, drink bagged draft beer — then dives into Taidong Night Market and Pichaiyuan for snacks. No rushing to sights, only rushing to mealtimes, haggling at the market and skewering BBQ by the roadside, tasting Qingdao's freshness to the last bite.
