Spend an afternoon strolling around the perfectly manicured grounds of Qingdao Botanical Gardens. Admire the collection of plant species, see if you can spot some wildlife or simply take off your shoes and enjoy the grass between your toes.
To visit this showcase of plants, head to Shinan District. There are lots of other worthwhile attractions in this area, like May Fourth Square, MixC Shopping Mall, and Tsingtao Beer Museum.
