This former storage hall is now home to a centre for classic cars. Its repair shops, where you can watch mechanics at work, dealerships and cafés bring new life to the historic harbour and the cars themselves. Visitors can admire glossy vehicles from past decades while expert mechanics carry out restoration and repair work on others. Step back in time on a guided tour, and find out everything you could possible want to know about these impressive collector's vehicles.

The historic Kunsthalle houses a diverse collection of both classical masterpieces and contemporary works of art. Its paintings, sculptures and graphic art works are regularly complemented by special exhibitions. Additionally, the Kunsthalle's façade is also something to admire, blending classical and modern architecture. At night, the light installation adds a special dimension to the museum.

First held in 1991, the Qingdao International Beer Festival has grown into Asia’s largest beer event. Every August, starting on the second Sunday of the month, the festival kicks off and runs for 16 days in the city’s Shilaoren National Tourism Resort. This sprawling 35-hectare 'Beer City' is built specifically for the occasion, where beer lovers from all over the world come together. While you can always grab a Tsingtao Beer in Qingdao, nothing compares to the carnival buzz of the festival. Expect a fun mix of live music, international brews, and plenty of opportunities to sample the local favourite—Tsingtao Beer, of course. One quirky Qingdao tradition to note: fresh beer is often sold in plastic bags. So, don’t be surprised when you see people strolling the streets with a bag of beer in hand. It's all part of the fun.
