An old house in Qingdao

(1) Qingdao trestle

"Flying Pavilion" is known as the top ten scenic spots in Qingdao, and there is also a sentence called "Changhong Yuanyin" to match this scene. In fact, they depict the same tourist landscape-Qianhai Zhanqiao, a symbol of Qingdao.

Qingdao trestle bridge is located at the southern end of Zhongshan Road in Shinan District of Qingdao, which is in a straight line with Zhongshan Road. "The Golden Pavilion on the Long Bridge rises from the water, and it looks unique and extraordinary from a distance." It is the most beautiful and attractive place for Qingdao's coastal tourism, and it is also a symbol of Qingdao. After someone came here to watch the scenery of the sea and the sky, he once wrote a poem saying: "The scenery is fascinating, and the fishing boat berths west of the trestle at night; After enjoying the cool every evening, people lean against the railing and pat the embankment. "

the trestle bridge was built in the 17th year of Guangxu in Qing dynasty (AD 1891). At that time, Li Hongzhang, governor of Zhili and minister of Beiyang, and Zhang Yao, governor of Shandong Province, visited Jiaozhou Bay and confirmed the necessity of fortification here. In July of the same year, Gaoyuan Zhang, the company commander of Dengzhou Town, Shandong Province, was transferred to move to Jiaoao with his fourth battalion, and the company commander yamen was built next to Qingdao Village (now the People's Hall in Qingdao). Since then, Qingdao has become a fortified place. In 1893, Gaoyuan Zhang used the steel from Lushun Shipyard to build a trestle in Qianhai. It used to be an iron frame wooden bridge, about 2 meters long and 1 meters wide. For loading and unloading ship materials, it is also the earliest wharf in Qingdao.

at the end of the 19th century, after Germany invaded Qingdao, another section was connected to the southern end of the bridge for its military needs, and light rails were laid, which extended the trestle bridge from 2 meters to more than 35 meters. In 1931, Qingdao Dagang Wharf was completed, and the trestle bridge ended its history as a wharf. In September 1931, the municipal authorities rebuilt the trestle bridge. The bridge body was extended to 44 meters and the bridge width was 8 meters. The piers were all poured with reinforced concrete and paved with cement. In order to make the rebuilt trestle look beautiful and durable, some steel frames in the sea are used to update the west side of the bridge deck. In order to prevent people from falling into the sea, iron fences and chains are installed on both sides of the bridge deck, and a semi-circular breakwater is built at the south end. A double-deck octagonal pavilion in the traditional style of China is added to the dike, named "Huilan Pavilion". The top of the pavilion is covered with golden yellow glazed tiles, and the pavilion is a two-story annular hall.

in p>1984 and 1998, on the basis of maintaining the original style of the trestle, the Qingdao municipal government carried out two comprehensive renovations on the trestle. Nowadays, the renovated bridge body made of granite is more solid and beautiful, with a spacious deck and 12 pairs of bridge lights, and the whole bridge body is completely new. After the renovation, the scenery of zhanqiao park embankment is also beautiful, with lush pines, lush green grass and fragrant flower beds, all of which are in harmony with the trestle.

In the newly-built trestle, the wooden surface of the inclined piles in the past is changed into a stone cement surface near the seawall. In order to prevent the stone breakwater from being damaged under the impact of waves for a long time, the newly-built stone approach surface has changed from the supporting stone wall with stones in the past to the method of pumping sand to fill the air. It is speculated that this method can not only balance the stress in the bridge empty slot, but also make the pier subject to the change of crustal movement and make the sand flow to the heavily stressed place to increase the stress degree of the bridge deck.

There is a spiral staircase in Huilan Pavilion. You can get a panoramic view of the blue sea and blue sky, the rugged islands and the flower buildings in the city. Standing at a height overlooking the trestle, the bridge looks like a rainbow leading to the sea. Under the sunshine, it floats like gold, and the pavilion is like a graceful fairy. The depths of the sea are sparkling, and Qindao is green. As a seaside tourist destination, there are many tourists in spring and summer, and there are many visitors in autumn and winter.

The trestle has been repaired several times, and now the north coast of the trestle has become zhanqiao park. There are flowers and trees here. Pine and green grass, gallery stone chairs, places for tourists to rest and enjoy the sea view. And for Qingdao citizens as "the first scene of Qingdao's top ten coastal tourist attractions."

(2) floating lights on Qinyu

Standing on the trestle, looking south, you can see a small and beautiful island, with a white jade lighthouse at the top, beautiful mountains and rocks, evergreen trees and different landscapes on the island, which is far from the trestle. This island is one of the top ten scenic spots in Qingdao's shallow sea tourism, Little Qingdao. Little Qingdao was originally an independent island, 721 meters from the coast and 17.2 meters above sea level. It covers an area of .12 square kilometers (1.2 hectares). Little Qingdao was originally named Qingdao, and it is also called "Qindao" because of its mountains like a piano, water like a string, and the wind blowing Boeing clanking like a piano. Because its name is reunited with the name of the opposite Qingdao city, a word "small" was added before the word "Qingdao" to become the current name "Little Qingdao".

in p>1898, after Germany invaded Jiaoao, an octagonal lighthouse was built on this island in 194. In order to guide the ships coming and going at sea. After Japan invaded Qingdao in 1938, Xiao Qingdao became a military port of Japanese invaders. After the liberation of Qingdao in 1949, the island became a military port of the People's Navy. The lighthouse has been renovated on a large scale. Now the lighthouse is 15.5 meters high and the tower is white, which is an important symbol for ships at home and abroad to enter and leave Jiaozhou Bay. In 1987, the warships on the island moved out, and in 1988, Little Qingdao was officially opened to the outside world, becoming the second scenic spot in Qingdao's coastal tourism.

During the day, Little Qingdao is sunny, surrounded by clear water, with beautiful mottled rocks and lush trees in MengMeng, holding out a white lighthouse. It is pleasing to the eye. At night, the lights are connected with water, and the water reflects the lights, which is as wonderful as a picture scroll. Especially when the morning fog rises and the smoke clouds are illusory, at this time, the small Qingdao is immersed in the fog, and it appears and disappears under the breeze, as if it were in Penglai Xiange.

the island's Haiyun Hall, Shenyifang, Qindao Fairy Sculpture, going to the sea to watch the floating platform, etc. provide a beautiful environment for tourists to look at the sea, watch the waves, stroll and listen to the piano, and get to a secluded place with winding paths.

(3) Tianhou Palace

Tianhou Palace, commonly known as China ancestral temple, has three original places in Qingdao, one in Shazikou, one in Cangkou and one on the present Taiping Road. The first two don't exist now. The goddess enshrined in Tianhou Palace is "Mazu Goddess". Tianhou Palace is a key cultural relic protection unit in Qingdao. It was founded in Chenghua three years in Ming Dynasty (AD 1467). It is a famous cultural landscape integrating Tianhou culture, marine culture and folk culture. It is also an ancient architectural complex with a strong national style on the landscape of Qianhai in Qingdao. It has survived for more than 5 years and is precious. It can be called a vivid microcosm of the historical changes of Qingdao Port. Now it is Qingdao Folk Museum.

Tianhou, also known as Mazu, is said to have the original surname of Lin and Mingmo. She was born on March 23rd in the first year of Song Jianlong (AD 96), and her ancestral home is Meizhou Island in Putian, Fujian. It is said that since childhood, Lin Mo was intelligent and virtuous, helpful, capable of predicting weather changes, exorcising evil spirits and treating diseases, and swimming across the sea. He often rescued ships in distress in stormy waves, and was highly respected and loved by people from far and near, and was honored as "Dragon Lady" and "Goddess". She was determined not to marry in order to do good deeds. At the age of 28, she climbed to the peak of Meizhou on the Double Ninth Festival and never returned. It is said that she "feathered" into an immortal, and she set up a shrine here to worship, called "psychic goddess". During the Northern Song Dynasty, the maritime trade in Meizhou Bay was very prosperous. Sailors floated home all the year round and could be shipwrecked at any time. Legend has it that at that time, a foreign trader named Sanbao went to the Goddess Temple to pray and make a wish before sailing. After three years of maritime exchanges, he saved the day and returned with huge profits, so he donated a lot of money to rebuild the temple. According to records, Yundi was ordered to go to Korea (present-day North Korea) in the fourth year of Xuanhe in Song Huizong (AD 1122). When the boat was hit by a hurricane, the boat people hurried to pray for shelter, and the sky suddenly showed auspicious light, and a goddess of Zhu Yi danced at the mast end. It was calm in an instant and turned the corner. Lu Yundi was very surprised and asked his men what gods were there to save him. A Fujian Putian on board told Li Zhen, Bao Yilang, that it was Meizhou Goddess who rescued her. Lu Yundi was convinced and reported it to the court. Song Huizong immediately issued a letter to the Goddess Temple in Meizhou with the name of "Shunji". After Putian was strongly advocated by Prime Minister Chen Junqing and local gentry, navigators spread it widely and praised it on behalf of the imperial court. During the hundreds of years from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were 36 overlapping awards and letters, and the title was increased from 2 words to 64 words. The title was changed from "Lady" to "Princess", while "Queen of Heaven" and "Virgin of Heaven" until it was hard to see. The imperial court's numerous awards and people's admiration from generation to generation finally established Tianhou's supreme position as a sea god, which made this belief gradually spread across the country beyond Fujian, and went to Southeast Asia and other parts of the world with Chinese people crossing the ocean, becoming a "sea goddess" with great world influence.

The belief in the Queen of Heaven in Qingdao is spread from Fujian due to the growing maritime trade between Qingdao Port and Fujian, Guangdong and Sulu. When the Tianhou Palace was first built, it was called "Tianfei Palace". The land was donated by Hu Shanshi from Hujiazhuang, and three main halls and east and west halls-the Dragon King Hall and the Treasurer's House were built. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (AD 1644), Su Yiming, the director of the palace, raised donations for the first maintenance and expanded the back yard, which made the back yard of Tianhou Palace take shape. The four octagonal stone pillars used in the verandah and archway doors of the Tianhou Temple, which have been preserved so far, can especially represent the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. Two ginkgo trees in the courtyard were also planted in the Ming Dynasty. After the 11th year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1733), the local governor made a sacrifice to heaven in the Spring and Autumn Period, and then the Tianhou Palace in Qingdao was repaired again, and a theater was built in the middle of the front yard. In the first year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (AD 1862), Shandong established the East Customs, and in the fourth year of Tongzhi, Qingdao established the separate customs. In June, the Tianhou Palace was rebuilt again and the theater was rebuilt. The four-year-old Monument to Raise a Theater in Tongzhi describes the scene of rebuilding the theater at that time: "It's been more than a hundred years since Qingdao was founded, so far tourists and businessmen have gathered ... the ruins of the old theater in front of the Tianhou Temple, but there are no buildings, which is unsightly ...". After the reconstruction of Tianhou Palace, it has become a recreation place for Qingdao people. In the 13th year of Tongzhi (AD 1874), it was rebuilt again, and now there is an inscription on the temple repair: "Gaiwen Tianhou became a god with filial piety, cared for the people, and protected the country with benevolence, which made Zeqia Bochen, and the tourists and businessmen gathered here, especially because of their lack of waves and breathtaking waves, so they all read about it to reward the saints and virtues. The old Tianhou Palace at the mouth of Moyi Qingdao was built to accommodate the gods, but it was not large enough to be spectacular ... The grand pavilion was connected with the giant ship, which increased its old system, made it open to the court, made it strict with the class, saved taxes, and made it splendid, which can be described as a powerful town all over the world. Today, the merchants donated money, and the people who helped and supervised the ships took care of the stone to hang on forever. " Judging from the inscriptions, the donors are all wealthy businessmen and ship owners. It can be seen that Qingdao Port is already a relatively prosperous seaport with "tourists and businessmen gathered here". In the 24th year of Guangxu (AD 1898), the Tianhou Palace was rebuilt, and 2 mu of incense was purchased. The scale became larger and larger, and the area around Taiping Road Primary School now belongs to the temple production scope.

In p>1897, after German imperialism occupied Qingdao, Tianhou Palace was designated as a European area. The surrounding villages were all demolished. When the Tianhou Palace was to be demolished, Qingdao businessmen were aroused with great indignation and rebelled. The German prefect was awed by the power of the people of China, so he decided to move the Tianhou Palace from the European area to the Baodao area where China people lived, and allocated land along Guantao Road to prepare for the relocation. However, before the migration, Germany and Japan changed hands. After Japan occupied Qingdao, there was no mention of the migration of Tianhou Palace. In 1939, Qingdao merchants raised funds to expand the Tianhou Palace again, moved the bell and drum tower of the theater from the middle of the front yard to the current site, and built a funeral home in the west yard. At this point, the Tianhou Palace has been rebuilt seven times and has formed a considerable scale. There are sixteen halls with a construction area of more than 1,2 square meters, making it the only representative ancient architectural complex in Qingdao that has maintained the Ming and Qing styles.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Tianhou Palace in Qingdao was handed over to cultural and cultural institutions for management and use, and many cultural relics exhibitions were organized in it. In 1982, the Qingdao Municipal Government announced that Tianhou Palace was listed as a municipal key cultural relics protection unit. In 1996, the Fourth Session of the Eleventh Qingdao Municipal People's Congress passed the No.1 motion, and decided to "repair and rationally use Tianhou Palace as soon as possible". The restoration work started on February 26th, 1997, and the main project was completed by the end of that year. There are 16 temples in Tianhou Palace, with a building area of more than 1,1 square meters, which still maintains the architectural appearance of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty. Now the palace gate of Tianhou Palace is a two-story building. Entering the palace, there are wings on the left and right sides, and the main hall is facing the front from the passage. In the courtyard, there is a monument built in the 13th year of Tongzhi, and there are two ginkgo trees, with dense branches and leaves. In spring and summer, the courtyard is full of greenery, which is quiet and pleasant.

(4) Lu Xun Park

"Lu Xun Park", formerly known as the seaside park, is located at the southern end of Xiaoyu Mountain in Qingdao City, and is a coastal tourist park based on the inclined coast.

In p>1929, Ge Jingying, a famous horticulturist in China, came here. When he stood on a high place and looked around, he was attracted by the natural environment here. Based on his unique natural environment, he opened up and established a park with green grass, pine trees and cypresses. Luxun Park extends about 2 kilometers from west to east, covering an area of about 4 hectares. After extensive construction and planting in 195, it became a scenic spot with both garden beauty and natural beauty. In memory of Mr. Lu Xun, it was renamed "Lu Xun Park".

"Luxun Park" was built according to the situation, with rolling mountain roads and pines and cypresses on the slopes. The park stone archway with a large glass tile roof has an extraordinary momentum. The front is engraved with four golden characters of "Lu Xun Park", which is a collection of Lu Xun's handwriting, and the back is engraved with four golden characters of "Peng Hu Sheng Lan", which was written by Zheng Shifen, a contemporary tablet connoisseur, in 1932. Passing through the stone archway, going forward around the flowers, standing on the stone steps and looking around, the sea is surging and endless, which really gives you the feeling that when you look at the sea, the water flows into the sky, and when you go through the forest, the wood smells fragrant. Down the stone steps, but see the surrounding rocks around the bank, winding and colorful. Strolling on the bluestone trail, the road is fluctuating, sometimes climbing up the edge, and sometimes back to the sea, which is very interesting. Stone tables and chairs along the road, hexagonal pavilions and four eaves pavilions, you can sit down and rest for a while when you are tired, and stand up to watch the sea. This is the best place to watch the tide, listen to the waves, enjoy the moon and walk in the snow. It is no wonder that after visiting this place, someone wrote humorously, "The sea is coming from the east, and the water is covered with stones, and the pavilions are on the stones." Shi Shui is connected, the pavilions are opposite, and the sky is arranged. "

"Luxun Park" combines the natural beauty of its natural environment with artificial modeling. Although the terrain is compelling, there is no sense of constraint, and it is a must-see place for tourists to come to Qingdao. After winding along the stone road in the park, you can come to the Qingdao Seafood Museum, which is known as the "Dragon Palace on Land". As one of the top ten scenic spots in Qingdao's coastal tourism, it is also the best place to visit.

(5) Qingdao Seafood Museum

Qingdao Seafood Museum is located in the beautiful Luxun Park. Two elegant castles with different styles of palace-style national architecture are particularly eye-catching under the blue sea and blue sky. They are built side by side on steep reefs, giving people a sense of simplicity, solemnity and grandeur. Qingdao Seafood Museum, formerly known as Qingdao Aquarium.

According to historical records, in the autumn of 193, Cai Yuanpei, Li Shiceng, Yang Xingfo and others from the Chinese Science Society came to Qingdao for a meeting. In view of Qingdao's beautiful scenery and rich seafood, they proposed to establish an oceanographic research institute here. This initiative was approved by the celebrities and scholars attending the meeting, and a preparatory committee was established to raise funds from all sides. It is handled by the observatory. Construction started in January, 1931, with the words "Aquarium of China Institute of Oceanography" engraved on the cornerstone, and the gold plaque "Qingdao Aquarium" on the main entrance. The whole building was completed in January 1932.

As the earliest and largest aquarium in Asia at that time, after years of trials and tribulations, today's Qingdao Seafood Museum consists of an aquarium, a dolphin performance hall, a freshwater fish hall, a specimen exhibition hall and a rare aquatic life hall. The whole building is square, each side is a flower wind stone wall, and the top of the wall is pheasant
