The Haitian−Qingdao railway or Haiqing railway (simplified Chinese: 海青铁路; traditional Chinese: 海青鐵路; pinyin: Hǎiqīng Tiělù) is a railway in Shandong Province, China. The single-track railway connects Haitian Station in Changyi on the Dezhou–Longkou–Yantai railway in northern Shandong with Zhilanzhuang Station in Gaomi on the Jiaozhou–Jinan railway near the Jiaozhou Bay in southern Shandong.
