You can enter the museum by linking your ID card to purchase tickets. The overall experience was great, and I learned about the history of Tsingtao Beer.
From Hall A to Hall B, I learned that the brewery was originally developed and produced by Germans, then taken over by the Japanese after the invasion. After the liberation in 1949, production was taken over by China itself, and millions of bottles of beer are sold annually to this day.
While learning about the brewery's past and present, you can also try free beer. It was a great experience, and the beer was delicious, refreshing, and ice-cold.
It's worth visiting and learning more about it.
Taidong Pedestrian Street/Beer Museum /Qingdao

Highlights: The Tsingtao Museum is located in an old factory of Tsingtao Brewery from a hundred years ago. The rows of red buildings are very atmospheric. The roof of the building by the road is decorated with an eye-catching oversized beer can. Here you can learn about the history of Tsingtao beer, see the old equipment for producing beer, and taste authentic Tsingtao beer. There is also a statue of the God of Wine on the square. The entrance to the Tsingtao Beer Museum is the famous Dengzhou Road Beer Street. It is full of seafood stalls and bars decorated with flags of Tsingtao beer.

It's OK. The venue is not big and there are many kinds of shells. The No. 1 shell in the middle display window on the right side of Hall 3 or Hall 4 fell into the window. I hope the management can see it.
Huangdao Golden Beach Holiday Resort /Qingdao
21 km from downtown Qingdao
Highlights: The Shell Museum is a private museum and has a large beach runway. The museum is mainly composed of six parts: the shell specimen display area, the popular science area, and the shellfish merchandise display area and so on. The exhibits are from the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and more than 60 countries on five continents. The collections and hardware facilities are at the leading domestic level. There is a large one-meter-wide oyster known as the King of Seashells, a small scallop that needs to be seen with a magnifying glass, and a nautilus fossil from the Ordovician Period 450 million years ago.

The Qingdao Museum has three floors, and the collection of cultural relics includes calligraphy, painting, ceramics, copper, jade, coins, and more than 30 categories. Along the way, although a little tired, but feel full of harvest. There is no Tsingtao Beer Museum in the collection. There are many museums on the site of the First World War in Qingdao.
