Here are some more information for China Qing:
The Himalayas, 16,000 feet above sea level, are the world's tallest mountain range. Between these soaring mountains are two magical places; Tibet and China. Because of the geographical factors, the extreme weather and the harsh terrain, it is amazing that turquoise ever found its way into the culture. It is thought that long ago turquoise came to Tibet and Western China by traders and explorers from Iran. From here Tibetan craftsmen took these beautiful stones and made stunning jewelry for decorative and religious purposes. And since this time turquoise has been known as the holy stone, because of its spectacular color and its belief for good fortune.
Turquoise is one of the earliest used gem stones in the world. It is treasured in Tibet and China and has been used for barter and trade for thousands of years. It is very popular with local people. It is also well known for its good luck and healing properties. Through Tibet and Western China turquoise is frequently worn in people's hair through braids, especially on children. Turquoise stones are often seen in horse's manes, also in braids and on tied on to saddles for protection. Turquoise is even sometimes seen tied onto the yaks. This is also for protection because the yak is valued and treasured so much in Tibetan and Western China's culture. The most common place for turquoise stones is on the silver jewelry the people wear daily. If turquoise is worn around the wrist or neck it will is thought to protect the wearer from unnatural deaths, disasters and poverty.
Turquoise is believed in both Western China and Tibet to assure a safe journey. If it is worn in the ear it prevents reincarnation as a donkey. If you have a dream about turquoise it is very lucky and will bring you good luck and fortune. When you find turquoise it will bring you the best of luck and gives you new life. Most importantly it is believed to absorb the wearer's sins. Turquoise is thought to be the symbol of friendship. If given to a friend it would protect the wearer from negative energy and also bring good fortune. It is also known to bring peace at home. Turquoise is the traditional jewelry in Tibet and many parts of China. If turquoise is left untreated for long periods of time, it can change from bright green and blue to dark brown and black color. To Tibetans, the changing colors represents the life cycle of birth, old age and death.
Today there are still many large turquoise mines in the world. The Southwestern United States is well known for its beautiful turquoise and so are parts of Iran. But, one of the largest turquoise mines in is the Northwest Hubei province of China. Since the Qing Dynasty, China has been mining large amounts of turquoise throughout China. There are hundreds of turquoise mines across the large country of China. The mine in Hubei province is still one of Chinas most popular mines.
I have been living in China for the last five years and travelling Asia. I find China and Tibet fascinating, especially their jewelry. There are so many stories, myths and legends following each piece of jewelry. http://www.tibetanempress.com
Qingdao travel information for your China vacations
This article is about the China vacations and Qingdao travel. You can find some useful information in it if you are planning your Qingdao travel now.
Qingdao, best known in the West by its postal map spelling Tsingtao, is a major city in eastern Shandong province, China. Qingdao today is a major seaport and industrial center of Shandong province. "Qing" means "lush" in Chinese, while "dao" means "island". This city was recently named China's 9th-most livable city by the China Daily.
German fort at Qingdao in 1898. In 1891 the Qing government decided to make the area a defense base against naval attack and eventually began to improve Tsingtao’s existing fortifications. This Chinese activity was observed and reported by German naval officials during a formal survey of Kiautschou Bay in May 1897. After the Tsingtao region was ceded to Germany in 1898, the German authorities soon turned Tsingtao into a strategically important port administered by the Imperial Department of the Navy (Reichsmarineamt) rather than the Imperial Colonial Office (Reichskolonialamt). The navy based their Far East Squadron here, allowing them to conduct operations throughout the Pacific. From January 1898 the marines of III. Seebatallion were based at Tsingtao. The German imperial government planned and built the first streets and institutions of the city we see today, introduced electrification, a sewer system and a safe drinking water supply; commercial interests established the world-famous Tsingtao Brewery. German influence extended to other areas of Shandong Province, including the establishment of diverse commercial enterprises.
Eat:
The Beer Street is very famous in Qingdao. It is located in the Dengzhoulu Street ( close to the Tsingtao Brewery). This street is not a broad one but you can find lots of good restaurants and bars here. I recommend the Meidaer Barbecue. Lots of people like this restaurant. The price is reasonable and the service here is not bad. You can find the unique plasmogen beer here ( only 30 rmb for a mug of beer ). The Tsingtao Brewery provides fresh plasmogen beer to the restaurants in this Beer Street every day and this is why the beer you can get here tastes so good. (good info for your China vacations)
See:
(1). The Eight critical junction (Badaguan) of Qingdao was built by the German and you can find all kinds of architectures here: Russian, German, Japanese, etc.
Eight critical junction ( Badaguan ) fine scenery, attracted the numerous new people to come here to photograph the nuptial dress to illuminate, the blue tree, the sand beach, the villa, the beautiful woman, formed a nice contrast, too beautiful to behold, caused that the pedestrian poured the foot in abundance.
There are many famous villas here but now the only one villa open to the travellers is the Huashilou (flower and stone villa). The cost is 5 rmb. You can see the beautiful beach and sea from this place. To get here, you can take the Line 15, 26, 202, 228 city buses (helpful info for your China vacations).
(2). Qingdao Beer Museum: It is a very interesting place in Qingdao. You can take the Line 15 city bus here. The cost is 50 rmb. Why so expensive? Because you can have free beers in it, 
In this museum, you can see lots of pictures about the history and producton of the Tsingtao beer. I like the old TV advertisements here. In one advertisement, it said that the Tsingtao beer can cure the beriberi.
Some tips for your Qingdao travel:
(1). Qingdao is a city near the mountain and you will not find many people riding bikes ( like other cities in China) here. The public transportation systems are very convinient in Qingdao. Not like other crowded Chinese cities, it is easy to find seats in the Qingdao's city buses (costs only 1 rmb for one person).
(2). The flag-fall price of the taxicab here is 7 rmb and you will need to pay 1.2 rmb for every kilometer.
(3). A Qingdao map can be very helpful for you. (especailly for the first time travellers to Qingdao)
