Huangdao
About
Huangdao (黄岛). Providing there isn't persistent fog as is often in the area, one can take a ferry from Qingdao port to the neighbouring district of Huangdao. A new bridge and a new tunnel both opened in 2011 linking Qingdao and Hunagdao. Tunnel buses are available. The city has mostly been built in the last 10-15 years and thus is completely devoid of character. That said, there are plenty of Japanese hostess bars, and a few Western drinking holes too, if you get tired of Qingdao's fare. The ferry prices generally range from ¥15-30 one way, but be advised that if the ferries aren't running the taxi fare is 200RMB+ back to Qingdao.
