Qingdao Liuting International Airport is about 32 km from downtown, connecting Qingdao to more than 30 cities in China. It's also possible to fly internationally to Tokyo and Fukuoka in Japan, and also Seoul and Singapore.
Train
Qingdao Railway Station is located on No. 2 Taian Lu, nearby Zhanqiao Bridge. There are trains to and from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Jinan, Tai Shan, Xi'an, Lanzhou and Wuchang. Most long-distance trains stop in Jinan.
Bus
Long-distance bus:
Highways leave Qingdao in every direction (at least where there's land) and long-distance buses serve all the major cities of Shandong province as well as many cities in neighboring areas from several bus stations throughout the city.
City-bus:
Although public buses in Qingdao are very clean and cheap, they are only good options for foreigners with good Chinese language skills. For the rest of you, air-conditioned tour buses may be a convenient and comfortable option. Three tour bus lines offer professional guide service. A good one to know is tour bus 304, which runs along the shore between the ferry pier and Lao Shan with a stop at the train station.
