Review:
Palm trees, water chutes, fountains, pebble-beach AND full size swimming lanes..? Surely not in Qingdao, right?

One of Qingdaos best kept secrets. Superb indoor and outoor swimming pool in the old Badaguan area. More facilities for the men (sauna, hot pools etc) so the fee is higher than for women.

Offering climbing and hiking tours of Laoshan National Park, and historical walks and cycling tours of Qingdao's Old Town. The mountaintop lamb barbeque a sure thing to cure hunger after a day's rigourous activity! Also has educational courses focussed on environmental protection and management for local schools.

Indoor climbing and outdoor trips on weekends. Southern part of Surf Plaza, by the hotel.

The site of the 2008 Olympic Sailing Regatta. Ultra modern, stylish and well equipped; befitting a city on the rise.

Qingdao's 'drinkers with a running problem' meet twice per month (normally) at the Crowne Plaza. The cost is RMB10, which covers participation and beer after the run!

This is the closest golf course to Qingdao centre. Fees: weekends RMB 900 to 1100 (and you must be the guest of a course member). Green fees are half price on Wednesdays. Caddies cost RMB 25 for 9 holes and RMB 50 for a full round.
