I highly doubt it. We had to boil water everywhere in China. But Qing Dao was pretty. It's on the sea and had been a German colony so lots of Bavarian looking architecture. My most favorite place there was a Taoist monastery. The coolest monks I ever hope to see
You mean Missouri gave their beer a German name? How Globalist! 🙀
Well, the Chinese gave German beer a Chinese name. The original Tsingtao brewery was disassembled in Germany, shipped to China, and reassembled there.
First time I went to China, Tsingtao was for export only. Every town seemed like they had their own beer, made their own orange soda, and had their own yogurt for sale in the morning (and in some places that's about all they had). I think I saw a few bottles of Tsingtao in the nicer tourist hotels (where only foreign exchange certificates were accepted), but not often.
It's funny, it occurred to me there are people today with no memory of a very poor, very closed, hostile China - a China with no economy to speak of, few exports, very little to no tourist infrastructure, nothing to buy...; people with no memory of the Soviet Union and the Cold War...
