My Hometown Qingdao

Out of all the cities I've been too, I like Qingdao, my hometown, the best. In fact, it was named the most livable city in China.

I went on Wikipedia and searched "Qingdao". A whole lot of information came up and they are pretty accurate, so I added one saying that I love to describe Qingdao with. Here is the before and after:

The unique combination of German and Chinese architecture in the city centre, combined with German demographic roots and a large Korean expatriate population, gives Qingdao a distinct atmosphere. A larger number of areas in former foreign styles are well preserved. Although the new city area is under large-scale reconstruction, the old city area (especially Taixi) still retains some traditional buildings.

The unique combination of German and Chinese architecture in the city centre, combined with German demographic roots and a large Korean expatriate population, gives Qingdao a distinct atmosphere. An old saying discribed Qingdao as a city of "red tiles green trees, blue sky and blue sea." This saying indeed gives a picture of birdview of Qingdao. A larger number of areas in former foreign styles are well preserved. Although the new city area is under large-scale reconstruction, the old city area (especially Taixi) still retains some traditional buildings.

I hope you all can visit Qingdao someday!
