NILE Points: Join Date: Apr 8, 2004 Status: offline	I'm taking a trip to Qingdao sometime next Feb 2005. I have many questions but will try to ask just a few. How cold is it in Feb... Also is it better to book a hotel befor I arrive, or get one when I get there. I understand I need a pass port and a chinese visa, is ther anything else I need to enter the and leave the country? Also I have never been out of the U.S. before so I have no idea what it is to come and go thru customes, is there anything I should have besides my pass port and visa. Thank You,

It's the first time for you to China, and you are not familiar with it. Maybe when you get out of the plane, you will be at a loss. Hope you will have a wonderful trip in "Oriental Switzerland", Qingdao! Anna

Many of the flights I've looked at tansfer in Beijing, but there are a few for a little extra money that are direct flights into Qingado.. Thanks,

I plan to go to Qingdao in April/May. I was looking at the same thing as you. I found out that it is only a 6 hours train ride from Beijing to Qingdao. Since I was going to stay in Beijing first then go to Qingdao, it was better for me to take the train. It is cheaper and much more convinience that I don't need to go to the airport. I also believe that there are flight that go to Qingdao without stoping in Beijing. It cost a little more but not too much.

I hope this help.
