Watch chefs teach new and traditional techniques, sample exotic food and mingle with fellow afficianados of the palate on a gastronomic journey of spice.
Most people associate beer with Germany or Australia, but China has a taste for the bubbly brew too - as you’ll see at the Qingdao International Beer Festival from August 14–29. Major breweries from all over the world such as Heineken and Bittberger show their wares, and thousands take a tipple or two with a hearty ‘Gan Bei!’ (bottoms up), entertained by karaoke (or performing it yourself!). After all that yummy food and liquid yeast, head to the Crowne Plaza Hotel Qingdao where exercising can be fun in the fully equipped gym, indoor swimming pool, outdoor tennis court, bowling alley, billiard and table tennis room.
