We are pleased to now offer Qingdao, Host City for the 2008 Olympic sailing programme, on China's Eastern Coast as a additional destination within our tailor made programme, now and during the Olympic games in August 2008.
This presents an opportunity to follow the sailing and also experience the culture of what China and in particular the beautiful province of Shangdong has to offer.
A stay in and around Qingdao offers miles of beautiful beaches and many sightseeing opportunities. There are many traditional villages to visit and of course the breathtaking scenery of Mount Laoshan. The region is a culinary delight for seafood lovers with literally every combination of food from the Yellow Sea to be found in the array of traditional restaurants that line the beaches and harbour.
