Qingdao
Qingdao · 圣弥爱尔大教堂
St Michael’s Cathedral A German-era cathedral on a rise, visible down the old streets. You can see the exterior for nothing. The interior, when open to visitors, is a modest ticket and a quiet room.
Historic sites 历史古迹
Historic architecture. Fifteen minutes inside if it is open, and the square if it is not.
Combine it with the pier and a beer, not with Laoshan.
Getting there
In the old town, a walk from Zhanqiao and from Zhongshan Road. This is the in-town historic stop.
Staying nearby
Old town, so the spires are part of finding your way home. No need for a hotel that sells the view of the door.

Church ticket when open
How to get in The square and the facade are free. Interior visiting hours are posted and are not the same as Mass. Follow the door. It is a working church. Be quiet, and do not treat a service as a tour.
