Collection of Old Photos —— Four of the Top Ten Old Scenes in Qingdao: Keizaki Matsumura

Kyozaki Matsuyue is one of the top ten scenic spots in Qingdao selected by Qingdao Municipal Government 1936. The so-called "meeting" is before the village meeting. Today, Taiping Mountain was originally called Huiquan Mountain, or Huishan for short. There is a village in front of the mountain, which is now Zhongshan Park. 1898 Germany occupied Qingdao, and a plant experimental park was built in the village before the demolition meeting. In 1930s, "pre-meeting" was renamed as "all-round meeting"; The so-called "battery", Kangxi dictionary means bending the bank. The word "flag flag" in "flag Song Yue" refers to Taiping Bay, which is located at the southern end of the village before the meeting. There are two headlands, Taiping Cape and Huiquan Cape. When the moon is loose, especially when the moon is full, it is really a great beauty to listen to the sound of waves at the seaside and enjoy the moon in Panasonic.

? In 1930s, most of the scenery in the novel "Qi Song Cun" had disappeared, but the natural scenery of Huiquan Bay and Taiping Bay was still fascinating. Huiquanjiao is a long promontory extending from northeast to southwest into the sea. The Cape is 30 meters above sea level, facing Taiping Cape across the sea in the east. Go south from Nanhai Road and take Huiquan Road to Huiquan Corner. Enjoy the scenery of Huiquan Bay at Huiquan Corner.

? Huiquan Dynasty Hotel, located at No.9 Nanhai Road, is a foreign-related five-star hotel opened in June 1979, which is unique among coastal buildings.

? Qingdao Donghai Hotel, located at No.7 Huiquan Road and facing the sea on both sides, was built in 1935, with seven floors and 88 rooms. It was the largest and most advanced hotel in Qingdao at that time. Modelling adopts the internationally popular modernist style in 1930s, and stands prominently at the neck of the headland at the northern end of Huiquan Corner. For a long time, it has been a beautiful scenery and a symbolic representative building on the seashore of Qingdao.

Later, it was built in 1997, with a height of 170 meters and 38 floors above ground. The beautiful scenery and landmark scenery of Qingdao Donghai Hotel are gone, and the old ten scenic spots in Qingdao, "Meeting the Fort and Meeting the Bright Moon", are even forgotten.

? Huiquanjiao, extending into the sea from the southeast of Huiquanwan, with the highest elevation of 32 meters. After the Germans occupied Qingdao, they built a pre-meeting fort here in 1902, equipped with five dome cannons covered with heavy steel plates, two 240mm cannons and three150mm cannons. The turret is a 360-degree rotary lifting type with a large bunker under it. There is a tunnel connecting the shelter in the waist dense forest of the headland. There are ammunition depots, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, underground railways for transporting ammunition, etc. There is a power grid around the bomb shelter, which is the largest defense project of the German army in Qingdao, with nearly 100 troops stationed. 1922 after the Beiyang government recovered Qingdao, Huiquanjiao was turned into a seaside park. After the transformation, it is the first scenic spot in Qingdao. 1984, Qingdao municipal government listed the fort site as a municipal cultural relics protection unit. However, Huiquanjiao has always been a military station and is not open to the public.

? 19 17 years, Kang Youwei came to Qingdao for the first time. He once watched the tide in Huiquanjiao and wrote a poem: "The sea looked at the rocky cliffs, and the raging waves shot into the clouds; Flying sails over the clouds, the island is green. " There were no existing buildings in Huiquanjiao at that time. There are pines and cypresses everywhere. The pine scenery under the moon and the bright moon in the pine forest are really a big sight. Later, it was known as "Huiqi Song Yue", and it was reasonable to be selected as one of the top ten scenic spots in Qingdao.

On the east side of Huiquanjiao is Taiping Bay, where there are many reefs and rock disks, which are as steep as knives and axes or as flat as rakes and plows, and extend into the sea in a large area. When the tide ebbs, a large area of maroon rocks are exposed, which becomes the location chosen by wedding photographers. There are also pieces of rock disks covered with moss and green, much like farmland after emergence.

? Taiping Bay, where the second bathing beach in Qingdao is located, also has a large beach. Although the area is much smaller than the first bathing beach, it has a gentle slope, soft sand, small waves, clear water and large beach area, especially with an extraordinary history. 1957 the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee was held in a small arbor in the east of the bathing place. President Mao Zedong has also visited here many times.

? On the north side of Taiping Bay is the famous Badaguan. On the ten roads named after China Pass, each road has its own trees, such as Haitang in Ning Wuguan, Wei Zi in Zhengyangguan, Wufeng in Jiayuguan, Cedar, Cherry Blossom, Ginkgo and Metasequoia in Zijingguan. It is home to different styles of architecture from more than 20 countries, including Russia, Germany, France, Britain, the United States, Denmark, Greece, Japan, Spain and Switzerland. Therefore, it is also known as the "World Architecture Expo", and the famous Huashi Villa stands proudly on the mountain road leading to Taiping Cape.

? From the south footpath of Huashi Villa to the east, there is a newly-built Taipingjiao Park on the south side of Taipingjiao Road in 2008. If you go east, you will enter the path around Taiping Cape. Although there are still troops stationed on the island, the first line around the island is completely open.

? Follow the roundabout trail to the southernmost tip of Taiping Cape. In front of the path is the last entrance of the headland into the sea. Standing on the trail Little Square, you can see the whole Taiping Bay and the scenery behind Qingdao. Taiping Cape is surrounded by the sea in the east, south and west, with the roundabout trail 1600 meters, starting from No.1 Road in Taiping Cape in the west and the third bathing beach in the east. Taiping Cape was called "Ludou Island" in ancient times. 1922 after Qingdao's sovereignty was recovered, the government named several place names with the theme of "Taiping", and Ludou Island was renamed Taiping Cape.

? Taipingjiao headland is the most beautiful place among many headlands in Qingdao seaside, with many reefs, which is especially suitable for fish to inhabit, so it is also an excellent place for fishing. The black pine revetment in the west of the headland basically blocks the view, while the reef rocks in the east of the headland are completely exposed. In addition to the unique red reef in Qingdao, there is also a rare blue reef, and the gaps between the reefs are full of flowers. Walking along the island trail, watching rocks and waves, step by step, it seems as if you have entered a corner of the sea, and the horizon is endless.

? Taiping Bay is really an excellent place to enjoy the night. I have come here many times to enjoy the night and shoot the full moon. Although I didn't see the scenery like "Huiqi Song Yue", I still got something.

? The round moon is high above the headland. Although there is no pine shadow swaying, it illuminates the headland and the sea, and the waves and the moon shadow set each other off. Much like "Kyozaki Matsumura" rather than "Kyozaki Matsumura".
