Relaxed day touring the temple and Laoshan mountain. Barry was very informative and great guide. Enjoyed the tea tasting , relaxing on the mountain.
Requires physical ability to be able to complete all activities on this tour. The waterfall requires climbing many steep stairs.
Our guide Penny was great fun and a wonderful guide. The whole day worked out perfect for our group. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Qingdao.
Better go early morning and take cable car first. We spent to much time on the temples. Did not take the cable car and did not see any water fall. For a such private tour I would expect skip the line.
