Best time to visit Qingdao

Qingdao is famous for its summer breezes and beautiful beaches and is often the preferred summer vacation city for Chinese locals. The weather in this city is influenced by the Monsoon season, but as it is a coastal city, the effects of winter are not as harsh as they are for the rest of China’s inland cities.
