The city's total jurisdiction area occupies 10,654 square kilometres, and stretches in latitude from 35° 35' to 37° 09' N and in longitude from 119° 30' to 121° 00' E.

Language
During the city's colonial days,German was the official language and rigorously taught and promoted. Since the demise of Germany's colonial empire during World War I, the German language is virtually dead here and left little impact on the local languages. A local accent known as Qingdao dialect distinguishes the residents of the city from those of the surrounding Shandong province. Due to the efforts by the city government to promote standard Mandarin, most educated people can speak that dialect in addition to their native dialect. With reform policies and English teaching, some young citizens have been taught English and many can converse with English-speaking foreigners.Business and traffic signs in English are becoming more and more common.
