What you recon smog would be like in Qingdao?

Stay in Qingdao or Shanghai?

Qingdao is a fantastic place I was there a few years ago and you could buy 2L plastic bags of beer on the street for $0.50c Surprised I can even remember any of it actually!

More info here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/287984 . Actually Beijing Capital airlines is the carrier. I searched for 12 April to 26th and on Iwantthatflight which redirected me to Cheap O Air which gave AUD 235 price. Very tempting

Plus visa costs unless you have a 1 year/multi already in place. (Although if flying non-stop onwards to a third country TAO is eligible for 72-hour transit without visa.)
