Part Two
Qingdao is a seashore city with 3 sides surrounded by the sea. The east and south sides face the Yellow Sea, and the west side is near the Jiaozhou Gulf. Because it is near the sea and surrounded by water, it is very warm and humid. Usually the highest temperature is about 30℃ and the lowest temperature is about 0℃. However, it can reach 35℃ sometimes in summer. In my memory, it was once 37. 1℃ in July, 1999 the year in which I graduated from university, and it broke the record that had lasted several decades; therefore, I remember it very clearly. Furthermore, it can drop to -10℃ sometimes in winter when the Siberian Cold Current reaches Qingdao, but it lasts only several days in a winter. In all, Qingdao is a perfect place for people to live, so many retired people choose Qingdao as their last place to live. Moreover, Qingdao attracts more than 15 million tourists who come from all over China, and even the world, every year.

Yes, Qingdao is a beutiful place to live and travel. I had been there for 2 times, one for business trip, one for vacation. Like most colonies, it has it's own special taste and style mixed by Chinese culture and Germany footprint. I was impressed of this modern city with fresh seafood, nice view and beautiful young ladies.
Now I want to travel! I have been getting itchy feet lately. I think I have stayed in one place too long. However, I'm sick of cold weather. I think I'll just keep visiting places in summer, and change hemispheres every 6 months.
I like living near sea-shore such as Qindao, Dalian. weather is excellent.
