Qingdao is currently divided into seven urban districts:

Shinan
Better known as downtown, this district sparkles as Qingdao’s glamour center. All of the major hotels including the Qingdao Dongfang Hotel, the Haitian Hotel, the Crowne Plaza, and the five star Shangri-La Hotel freckle this area. Just about every major urban attraction glows within its boundaries as well. The Zhanqiao Pier, Little Qingdao Isle, and the famous Badaguan Scenic Area are just a few of its tourist magnets. Plus all of Qingdao’s major beaches, including Beach Number One, can be found here as well. This is the district you need to know if arriving as a tourist.

Shibei
Directly north of downtown along Jiaozhou Bay, this district is better known for industry. It contains most of Qingdao’s major shipping piers.

Sifang
Located north of Shibei, it too is low on tourist options. Industry reigns.

Licang
Located farther up the peninsula, north of Sifang, it is home to the area’s Peach Blossom Tourism Spot. It, obviously, caters to huge crowds during the spring blossom season. The Zhengzhuang Industrial Park can also be found here.

Chengyang
Qingdao’s most northern district is best known for its electronic, machinery, and chemical engineering industries.

Huangdao
An island, located to the southwest of Qingdao, is also known for its industrial might. The Huangdao Wharf, one of the area’s largest, is industrially legendary for accommodating 200,000-ton oil tankers.

Laoshan
Situated to the southeast of downtown it harbors the magical Laoshan Mountains. Hiking trails are many, leading to the world famous Mount Taishan and towering Jufeng Peak. Lodging can be found at the coastal Golden Beach Hotel.
