Qingdao cuisine:

Qingdao is rich in precious sea cucumbers, scallops, abalones, conchs, prawns and Cargill fish, which determines that Qingdao cuisine is mainly based on seafood. The traditional banquet in Qingdao has a certain emphasis, and the common specifications are "416" and "428". The order of serving requires cold before hot, salty before sweet, and there must be fish at each table. Without sea cucumber, it is not a big table. Eating seafood depends on the season. Spring and summer are the best seasons, which will definitely make you want to eat meat no more. Of course, we should also be careful. Many tourists who come to Qingdao for the first time can't stand the temptation of seafood and eat too much. As a result ... (It is conceivable).

Qingdao has a large seafood banquet with northern characteristics, as well as various flavor snacks with Shandong characteristics. Pasta is overwhelming, and the heat in jiaozi is boiling.
