03 / OUR HOME · QINGDAO
Know the place.
Then discover the spirit.
On the southern Shandong Peninsula, Qingdao meets the Yellow Sea to the east and south. Hills, bays and four distinct seasons frame the city RONGDI calls home.
The Yellow Sea
Bays and headlands give the coast its changing contours.
Laoshan, where hills meet sea
Granite slopes reach the shore, a distinctive meeting of rock and water.
Four changing seasons
A slower spring, a humid summer, clear autumn days and a windy winter.
