Grab your suitcase, stroll out of arrivals at Qingdao Airport (TAO-Liuting Intl.), and pick up your rental car. Which one you grab the keys to depends on where you’ll be going. If you’ll be spending the majority of the time driving in downtown Qingdao, around 9 miles from the terminal, select something small and zippy. A compact car with good handling will suit those busy city streets. But with loads of things to see, like the splendid rocky coastlines of the surrounding area, you may want to make a few pit stops. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make longer road trips a joy.
