Let me give you my tour guide

Little Qingdao

Now we are in Little Qingdao. Little Qingdao is located in Qingdao Bay on the north side of the estuary of Jiaozhou Bay, with an altitude of only 17.2 meters and an area of ??only 0.012 square kilometers. The island is as small as a snail, with beautiful rocks and lush trees, so it is named Little Qingdao. When Germany occupied Qingdao, it named the small Qingdao "Akna Island", and when Japan occupied Qingdao, it named it "Garten Island". In the early 1930s, it was opened as "Little Qingdao Park".

Look at the sea embankment in front of us. It was built when Japan occupied Qingdao in the 1940s. It is 720 meters long and connects small Qingdao to the coast. There is a white lighthouse on the highest point of the island, which was built by the Germans in 1900 (the 26th year of Guangxu). The tower body is entirely made of marble. The tower is 15.5 meters high and has an octagonal shape. The tower is equipped with reflectors and uses a bull's-eye-shaped rotating reflector to illuminate. In 1997, it was replaced with a navigation light made in Spain, and the original light was sent to Qinhuangdao Navigation Museum for collection. This lighthouse has a sea range of 15 nautical miles and is an important navigation mark for passing ships entering Jiaozhou Bay. Whenever night falls, the red light of the island's lighthouse flashes, outlining one of Qingdao's most scenic spots - "Qinyu Floating Lanterns".

Little Qingdao is also known as "Qindao" because when viewed from a height, it looks like a guqin lying on the sea. Everyone looks at the sculpture in front of us. It shows a young woman holding a harp and looking at the sea. She is the "harp girl".

There is also a poignant story about the "Piano Girl". Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a fairy in the sky who could play the piano. She fell in love with a young fisherman on the island and secretly came down to earth to marry him. Every morning when her husband went out to sea to fish, she would weave a net at home. In the evening, she would stand on the beach and play the piano, letting her husband return home following the sound of the piano. When the Jade Emperor found out, he was very angry and asked the Sea Dragon King to stir up trouble and overturned the young man's body. The piano girl has been playing the piano at the beach waiting for her husband to return. After waiting for decades, her hair turned white, her eyes became blind, and her husband never heard from her again. People built this statue in memory of Qin Nu.

Standing on Xiao Qingdao, you can see Qingdao. The blue sea and blue sky complement each other, half of the city is green and half of the city is towering. It is absolutely beautiful.

The predecessors wrote a poem describing the style of small Qingdao. After 1949, it was included in various travel books and periodicals: "There are not many green mountains to appreciate, and an island in the water is as small as a snail, and the clouds are floating in the clouds." The desolate state seems to be bathing in the evening waves of style."

Zhanqiao

Dear friends, they all say that Tiananmen is the symbol of Beijing, the Bund is the symbol of Shanghai, and the Zhanqiao is the symbol of Qingdao and the pride of Qingdao people. It is located in Qingdao Bay, with a total length of 440 meters and a width of 8 meters, extending from the coast into the sea. In the 1930s, the trestle "Huilan Pavilion" was ranked first in Qingdao's top ten landscapes under the name "Fei Pavilion Huilan" . The trademark of Tsingtao Beer, which is well-known at home and abroad, is designed with a trestle as its pattern.

The trestle has a history of more than 100 years. It not only records Qingdao’s humiliating years, but also records Qingdao’s construction and development after 1949. In 1891, Qingdao (Jiaoao) was built. In 1892, the Qing government appointed Zhang Gaoyuan, the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou Town, to lead officers and soldiers to station in Qingdao. In order to load and unload military supplies and provide berthing for the ships of the Beiyang Fleet, two wharves were built, one of which is the current trestle. The original trestle was 200 meters long and 10 meters wide. It was designed by Chinese engineers themselves and was the earliest wharf construction in Qingdao Port. The trestle was the only maritime "munitions supply line" at that time. In other words, whoever controlled the trestle would control Jiaozhou Bay.

In 1897, in the name of an exercise, Germany landed in Qingdao Bay, where the trestle is located, and occupied Qingdao by force. The trestle became a witness to the German invasion of Qingdao. After the German occupation, the trestle was rebuilt, but it was still a military dock. In 1904, after the completion of the First Pier of Dagang, the pier gradually lost its historical mission as a pier and began to be opened to tourists. In 1931, the Nanjing National Government invested heavily in rebuilding the trestle bridge. The bridge body was lengthened to 440 meters, and a semicircular breakwater was built at the southern end of the bridge. On top of it was the national-style Huilan Pavilion. The trestle bridge has since become the most beautiful sight in China. After the founding of New China, the People's Government allocated funds for repairing trestle bridges on many occasions. In 1985 and 1998, large-scale renovations were carried out on the trestle. In 2001, the seaside scenic area including the trestle was rated as one of the first batch of AAAA-level scenic spots by the National Tourism Administration.

Walking back from the trestle bridge, you will see a city picture full of romantic European style. Just as Mr. Kang Youwei described "red tiles and green trees, blue sea and blue sky", Liang Shiqiu's "watching the magnificent waves, and the majesty of being a king".

Huilan Pavilion

The three characters "Huilan Pavilion" in the distance were written by the famous calligrapher Shu Tong. Originally inscribed by Shen Honglie, the former mayor of Qingdao, it was taken to Japan during the second Japanese occupation of Qingdao and put on display in the Tokyo Army Museum in Japan to show the "merits" of the war of aggression against China. This pavilion is a two-story octagonal pavilion. The pavilion is covered with colored glazed tiles. The pavilion is surrounded by glass windows. There is a saying that "one window, one scene, one scene, one painting".

Attractions around the trestle

Looking back, Zhongshan Road is in a straight line with the trestle. It is an old commercial street in Qingdao with a history of more than 100 years. In 1929, in memory of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, it was called Zhongshan Road. The total length is more than 1,300 meters.

It was once known as one of the top ten commercial streets in China along with Wangfujing Street in Beijing and Nanjing Road in Shanghai. It is under planning and reconstruction and is expected to draw 600 million yuan. The tallest building on Zhongshan Road is the "Parkson Commercial Building". Opened in September 1998. It is one of the first batch of 18 joint venture retail enterprises nationwide established by the State Council. It was built as a joint venture with Qingdao First Department Store and Malaysian Golden Lion Group, with an investment of 780 million yuan. The shopping mall covers an area of ??50,000 square meters and was called "Qilu Commercial First Floor" at the time. This beach to the west of the pier is the sixth smallest bathing beach in the city. Because it is in the city center and the surrounding environment is beautiful, many people come here to swim. The Shandong International Trade Building on the right was the tallest building in Shandong in the 1990s. Construction started in January 1991 and was topped out in December. Using new technologies and materials, it set the national record of building one floor in 4.5 days, the fastest time in the country at that time. The tall building with blue glass walls next to it is the Qingdao Customs Building. Although named after Qingdao, it is the general management agency for entry and exit supervision of Shandong ports. It has jurisdiction over more than ten customs offices including Jinan, Zibo, Yantai, and Weihai. It is one of the three major customs offices in northern China. The building was built in 1992. Since 1997, the import and export freight volume it has supervised has ranked first in the country for many years. Look at the strange building on the sea called the Sea Palace. The entire building is composed of several quarter-round bodies. It is a first-class restaurant in Qingdao. From a distance, it looks like a pearl floating on the sea. The small island in the distance is called "Xuejia Island". It turned out to be a remote island. In the early Ming Dynasty, a family named Xue in the fishing village on the island gave birth to a general named Xue Lu. From then on, it gradually developed into a larger fishing village and was renamed Xuejia Village, and later Xuejia Island. It covers an area of ??27 square kilometers and has a coastline of 38 kilometers. It has the longest beach in Qingdao - "Golden Beach". Behind us is the Oceanwide Celebrity Hotel, a typical German classical building, formerly the tourism department of the German Qingdao Hotel. It was built in 1993. Prince Henry, the younger brother of German Emperor Wilhelm Eryang, visited here many times. It was commonly known as the "Prince Henry Hotel" at the time.

Eight Gorges: adjacent to Zhanqiao and Taiping Road in the east, and Guizhou Road in the north. There are eight roads in the area named after the eight famous canyons in my country, so they are called "Eight Gorges" (Sanmen Gorge, Liujia Gorge, Qingtong Gorge, Longyang Gorge, Mingyue Gorge, Hongshan Gorge, Qutang Gorge, Xiling Gorge). Xiling Gorge is the main channel for browsing the Eight Gorges. Bada Gorge was originally two major reef areas in Tuandao Bay. Later, embankments were built and the sea was reclaimed into land, covering an area of ??56 hectares. It was developed in 1985 and a new-style building complex was built in the early 1990s. Compared with the old city, Badaxia is full of modern atmosphere.

Zhongyuan Ocean Plaza: Invested and built by Shandong Zhongyuan Group Company in 1996, it is a large-scale modern comprehensive tourism project. Zhongyuan International Tourism Port is composed of a two-story annular sightseeing trestle with a total length of 2,285 meters and a 10,000-ton multi-purpose terminal. It is the largest dedicated tourist passenger terminal in China.

The "Zhongyuan" pleasure boat is 120 meters long and has 6 floors. It was issued and decorated from a large unpowered Russian floating floating barracks. It is a fully functional "sea hotel" .

Going along the double-decker trestle towards the depths of the ocean, a magnificent palace - the Zhongyuan Maritime Satellite Observation Tower - will be built in the second phase of the future construction plan. It is one of the most unique buildings in Qingdao that integrates technology, catering, accommodation, leisure and entertainment, sightseeing and shopping.

Xiaoyushan

We will visit Xiaoyushan Park next. Xiaoyushan is not high in altitude, only 61 meters, but its geographical location is very advantageous, with the sea in front and the mountains behind. It is located near the old town of Qingdao, so it is known as the best vantage point to view the whole view of Qingdao's offshore waters. When the German army invaded Qingdao (1897), they discovered this geographical advantage and built a solid fort on Shantou. This fort played an important role in the Japanese-German Battle of Qingdao and became the last German army to fly a white flag. Cannon fort.

Xiaoyushan is located on Yushan Road at the east end of Laiyang Road. It is one of the top ten hilltop garden parks in the island city. This was once the place where fishermen from Huiqian Village dried their fishing nets and dried fish. Xiaoyu Mountain was originally an unknown mountain. The road in front of the mountain was named after "Yushan", a famous Buddhist mountain in Dong'a County, Shandong Province. Xiaoyu Mountain got its name from this road. Xiaoyushan Park covers an area of ??2.5 hectares. It was officially opened to the public in 1985 and has become one of Qingdao's top ten attractions.

We walked up the steps from the gate of Xiaoyu Mountain and saw a hexagonal pavilion with overhanging eaves. It was named "Huiquan Bay" because you can see the rippling green from the pavilion. Bibo Pavilion". The word "Bibo" on its plaque was written by Wu Zuoren, a famous master of traditional Chinese painting. Standing here, you can see three red mushroom buildings on the top of the mountain in the distance, like three blazing torches. That is Signal Hill Park. The unique building among the green trees on the mountainside is the Qingdao Guest House, which was originally the "Official Residence of the German Governor-General" and is commonly known as the "Admiral's Building". It is a German-style building that combines typical architectural styles of the German Wilhelm era with De Stijl techniques. It is praised by Chinese and foreign friends as a precious architectural "specimen" in the world. We will introduce it in detail later. Everyone looks at the two national-style buildings on the lower right, one shaped like a city tower and the other looking like a palace. It was originally the Qingdao Seafood Museum and is now the Qingdao Underwater World.

The three-story octagonal pavilion we saw next is called "Lanchao Pavilion". The three words on the plaque of "Lanchao Pavilion" were also inscribed by Wu Zuoren. The pavilion is 18 meters high and it is far away from the top of the pavilion. From the overlook, you can fully appreciate Qingdao’s unique style of red tiles, green trees, and blue sea and sky.

Watching the moon on the sea from the Lanchao Pavilion is also very interesting, especially during the Mid-Autumn Festival of the lunar calendar, when a bright moon appears in the starry sky, giving people the feeling of "the bright moon rises on the sea, and the world is at this time". This is also one of Qingdao's top ten One of the landscapes is "Fish, Mountain, Sea and Moon". If you look at the decorative patterns of the Lanchao Pavilion, they are all fish. In ancient my country, most buildings were decorated with dragons and phoenixes, and the characteristics of Xiaoyu Mountain are also reflected here.

The white alabaster relief you see now is the mountain logo of Xiaoyu Mountain. It consists of the modern characters "小" and "山" and the ancient hieroglyph "鱼", surrounded by black The marble line-engraved text murals highlight the life scenes of ancient working people fishing and hunting.

When you come to Xiaoyushan, you can not only see the Qingdao style, but also the glaze murals. The one we saw is the overglaze mural "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea". It was created by teachers and students from the Material Art Department of the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts (now the Academy of Arts and Design of Tsinghua University) in 1979. The painting won the first prize in the National Art Exhibition. award.

The underglaze mural that I saw when I turned the corner is "Pu Songling's Universe". The work depicts Pu Songling's former residence and "Painted Skin", "Laoshan Taoist", "Promoting Weaving" and "Xi Fangping" The storyline of Liaozhai also adds a bit of mystery to Xiaoyushan.

Now, the pavilion we are in is called "Yongcui Pavilion". It is named after the lush mountain scenery that can be seen far and near. The plaque on the pavilion was also inscribed by Wu Zuoren.

Look again, the beach at the foot of the mountain is the first bathing beach. It is the largest and busiest beach in Qingdao. Bathhouse Huiquan Dynasty Hotel is the first joint venture hotel in Qingdao. It is managed by Hong Kong Solemn Statement Hotel Management Group and is a five-star hotel. Behind the hotel is Tiantai Stadium and Huiquan Plaza. The park next to it is Zhongshan Park, the largest comprehensive park in Qingdao. The mountain on which the tower is built is Taiping Mountain, with an altitude of 116 meters. This tower is the China Olympics sightseeing tower and the Qingdao Radio and Television Tower. The tower is 232 meters high and is one of the new symbols of Qingdao's 100th anniversary.

At this point, everyone has a panoramic view of the old town of Qingdao. In the following free time, you can board the Lanchao Pavilion for free, see the picturesque Qianhai Bay, and feel the coolness of Qingdao sea ??breeze.

Signal Hill

The Signal Hill we browsed used to be a place dedicated to transmitting signals for ships entering and leaving Qingdao Port.

Signal Mountain is 98 meters above sea level and is the tallest mountain in the city. Originally called Big Stone Mountain, it got its name from the many granite boulders on the mountain. After the Qingdao Port was built, a signal flag platform was built on the mountain, so it was named "Signal Mountain", also known as "Flag Mountain". Facing the sea and backed by the urban area, it is the best and highest point to enjoy the panoramic view of Qingdao's offshore.

When Germany invaded Qingdao in 1897, it first occupied Signal Hill and used it as a commanding height. It aimed its guns at the General Military Office of the Qing government and forced the Qing army to withdraw. Later, Qingdao's earliest radio station was built on the mountain, and a signal guidance station was set up to command ships entering and leaving Jiaozhou Bay. Therefore, the German Governor of Jiao'ao named the mountain "Ziegner Mountain". (German for "signal"). After the Japanese army invaded Qingdao, it was renamed "Shenwei Mountain". Later, the application of advanced navigation technology replaced the signal guidance flag, and Signal Mountain ended the historical mission of signal navigation. Signal Hill Park was built in 1987, and a rotating observation tower was built in 1989.

The south gate is the main gate of Signal Mountain, and it is a staircase that climbs up. Climbing up the stairs, you can see murals and monuments reflecting ancient and modern signaling activities.

What you enter from the north gate is a flat piece of land, which is like a broad platform on a ship, called "Taiwan Appreciation Platform". On the way, you will pass a stone arch bridge called "Lianxin Overpass", also known as "Auspicious Bridge". What we see now is Wulongtan. There are four black dragons guarding a shining golden dragon in the pool. There is also a mythical story about Wulongtan. What's more coincidental is that there are exactly five roads under Signal Mountain, all named after the character dragon. They are Longshan Road, Fulong Road, Longhua Road, Longkou Road and Longjiang Road. There are four cabins along the road, and people package these cabins full of wild charm, namely the Russian cabin, the Green cabin, the Flaubert cabin and the Shakespeare cabin.

There is a red door here called the "Dragon Gate". Passing through the Dragon Gate is the main building of Signal Mountain. The three red-domed mushroom buildings of different heights symbolize the three red torches used to transmit signals in ancient my country. The tallest mushroom building in the middle has 6 floors and is 20 meters high. It can be climbed to the 5th floor and has a rotating observation deck on it. You can overlook the scenery of the island city through 28 pieces of glass.

The corridor next to it is called the "Six-curved Corridor", which displays 46 ship signal flag patterns that are still in use. Signal Hill is located in the city center. It is not only a good place for browsing, but also a good place for citizens to collect moxa and enjoy the distant views. It is a custom in Jiaodong to collect mugwort and wormwood. Every year before the dawn of the Dragon Boat Festival, citizens climb Signal Mountain one after another to pick mugwort and catch the dew in order to ward off disasters, bring good luck and bless peace. Many people also plant mugwort on six windows during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Okay friends, we go up the mountain from the south gate and climb to the highest mushroom tower. The rotation time is 10 minutes. You can have a clear view of Qingdao's offshore scenery. There are many side roads when going down the mountain, so please be sure to return the same way and meet in the car after an hour.

Badaguan

Now we come to the famous tourist resort - Badaguan. The characteristic of Badaguan is the diversity of architectural styles of the villas inside.

According to statistics, there are buildings with architectural styles from 24 countries in the world in the scenic area, so it is known as the "Architecture Expo of All Nations". Visitors wandering around the quiet and beautiful streets of Badaguan feel as if they are in a foreign country, which has a unique atmosphere.

Where did the name "Badaguan" come from? In fact, it is composed of eight criss-crossing roads, and the first road is named after a famous pass in my country. Like "the first pass in the world" - Shanhaiguan Pass, Zhengyang Pass, Zijing Pass, Ningwuguan, Juyong Pass, Hangu Pass, Wusheng Pass and Jiayu Pass. Later, two more passes were added, namely Shaoguan and Linhuaiguan, but they were still called Badaguan. There is a characteristic here. Representative trees are planted on each road, such as: Shanhaiguan (French plane tree), Zhengyangguan (crape myrtle), Zijinguan (cedar), Ningwuguan (begonia), Shaoguan (peach), Lin Huaiguan (dragon cypress), Juyongguan (gingko), Hanguguan (loblolly pine), Wushengguan (cherry blossom), Jiayuguan (five-cornered maple). It is known as "Ten steps to a forest, a hundred steps to a garden", forming a world of flowers and a green flower country.

Dear friends, we can now see many unique buildings around us. Maybe you will ask why there are so many buildings here? That was in the 1920s, when some dignitaries purchased land and built houses here, and foreign consulates in Qingdao also built villas here. Architectural styles from more than 0 countries including Japanese, Russian, Danish, Hungarian, and French are concentrated here. Therefore, it is said: "Swimming through the Eight Passes is like traveling to Europe for the first time."

The circular building has the fifth floor, and the top floor is a sea viewing platform. Standing here, you can enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset on the sea. In addition to granite, this building is also inlaid with many cobblestones, so it is called the "Flower Stone Building".

Later, after research, it was found that when Chiang Kai-shek came to Qingdao, his chest lived in Badaguan, but not here, but in the "Yiju Bank" on Zhengyangguan Road. But the name stayed.

Dai Li, the head of the Kuomintang’s military reunification spy, came to Qingdao many times. It is said that he and Bai Guang, the movie star at the time, also lived here. It was here that Dai Li crashed into a mountain and fell to his death while flying back to Nanjing from Qingdao after his tryst with Bai Guang. After liberation, the Huashi Building was managed by the Diplomatic Office of the Qingdao People's Government and became a place for receiving Chinese and foreign dignitaries. Party and state leaders Dong Biwu and Chen Yi once worked here. The long poem "First Visit to Qingdao" written by Marshal Chen Yi in Qingdao was composed when he first came to Qingdao for recuperation and lived in Huashilou. In 1992, it was listed as a key provincial cultural relic protection unit by the Shandong Provincial Government.

The Second Bathing Beach: Small in area and beautiful in environment, it has left the footprints of many party and state leaders. When Chairman Mao was in Qingdao in 1957, he swam here many times.
