Qingdao

Culture

Through the unique architecture in some parts of Qingdao, one can draw the inference that the city is a cultural combination of east and west. Most people who reside in the Qingdao urban area speak Mandarin Chinese with a special local accent known as "Qingdao Hua" (Qingdao Dialect, not to be confused with "Shandong Hua" which is spoken more widely across the Shandong Province. Cuisine is predominantly Lu Cai (the Shandong regional dishes.) The area's most famous festival is the Qingdao International Beer Festival, held annually since 1991.
