About Qingdao
Shandong port with German colonial streets and the brewery they left behind. Its harbour and beaches shape both trade and tourism.
Population about 4,300,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Qingdao is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
