Where to Buy

If you intend to shop in Qingdao, try Zhongshan Road. With its bewitching night scene, big shopping malls on Zhongshan Road such as Parkson Department Store deserve a visit.

With the rapid development of Taidong Pedestrian Street, Zhongshan Road is fading. Taidong Pedestrian Street provides visitors not only a broad shopping and entertainment area, but also a place in which to enjoy outdoor mural paintings. Great muralists from other parts of China create outstanding public art to lure visitors to Taidong Pedestrian Street.

Jimo Road Small Articles Wholesale Market has become the must-go place for tourists to buy souvenirs for friends and relatives. This market earns its fame for its approachable prices and good quality.

On Hong Kong Middle Road are two big shopping centers, Jusco and Carrefour, recommended for typical Qingdao food, including dried seafood.

Opposite the Carrefour is the Sunshine Department Store, the high-level shopping center in Qingdao. Starbucks and Haagen-Dazs ice cream shops are also in the area. Near Jusco is an upscale shopping center that includes LV, Prada, and Gucci.

Whenever you shop, pay attention to the quality of the goods. Before making a purchase, compare the goods with those in other shops. In Qingdao, you will find it hard to bargain with local people. One reason is that the products are offered at low prices; the other is that Shandong people do not like to barter. A word of warning: don't take fresh seafood with you, as it is difficult to keep it fresh all day.

Korean City

Products abound in Korean City, including clothes; there is a garden for leisure and a children's entertainment garden. All the facilities and goods here reflect the unique Korean culture.
