What are the landmark buildings in Qingdao?

The earliest landmark building in Qingdao is the trestle bridge:

Qingdao trestle bridge is one of the scenic spots in Qingdao seaside scenic area, the first national scenic spot announced by the State Council in 1982, and also the first national AAAA-level scenic spot.

Qingdao Trestle is located at the southern end of Zhongshan Road in Qingdao, where tourists are busy. The bridge body penetrates into the crescent-shaped Qingdao Bay from the coast. The bridge is for tourists to visit and stop at the tourist boat, from which you can see Qingdao on the sea.

Qingdao trestle was built in the 18th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1892). It is the earliest military-specific artificial wharf building in Qingdao, and now it is an important landmark building and a famous scenic spot in Qingdao.

Qingdao trestle is 44 meters long and 8 meters wide, with a steel-concrete structure. A semi-circular breakwater is built at the southern end of the bridge. There is a two-story octagonal building in the dike, which is named "Huilan Pavilion". Visitors stand next to the pavilion and enjoy the waves coming in layers. "Flying Pavilion Huilan" is known as one of the "Ten Scenes of Qingdao". On the north coast of the bridge, it is turned into "zhanqiao park", with lush flowers and trees, green pines and green grass, and stone chairs for tourists to rest and enjoy the sea and sky scenery.

Now the landmark building is the "May Wind" in the May 4th Square opposite the municipal government:

The "May Wind" is a landmark sculpture located in the May 4th Square in Qingdao, by Huang Zhen. It is 3 meters high, 27 meters in diameter and weighs more than 5 tons. It is the largest steel city sculpture in China at present.

The sculpture is made of steel plates, supplemented by the outer coating of lux, and its shape adopts the spiral steel plate structure combination. With the washing technique, simple lines and heavy texture, it shows the image of "strong wind" rising in the air and gives people the shock of "force".

Huilan Pavilion

Huilan Pavilion is located on the seashore of Shinan District, Qingdao, across the water from Little Qingdao, and its northern end is connected with Zhongshan Road in a straight line. It is regarded as an important symbol of Qingdao. This pavilion is an octagonal pavilion on the second floor. The pavilion is covered with colored glazed tiles and supported by 24 red painted columns. There are spiral stairs in the center of the pavilion and glass windows around the upstairs. It is said that "one window has one scene, one scene and one painting". We can look out from the window and see the beautiful Qingdao Bay and the surrounding scenic spots and famous buildings in all directions.

in p>193, at the suggestion of Shen Honglie, then mayor of Qingdao, it was decided to completely transform the trestle bridge which had become an important sightseeing spot in Qingdao.

in September p>1931, a semi-circular breakwater was built at the southern end of the bridge, and a double-deck cornice octagonal pavilion named "Huilan Pavilion" was built on the breakwater in the traditional style of China nationality. The pavilion is covered with yellow glazed tiles and surrounded by 24 circular pavilion columns. The pavilion is a spherical hall on the second floor, with 34 spiral steps in the center, which can swing up to the second floor. In April 1933, all the projects were completed.

The three words on the plaque "Huilan Pavilion" in Feige Huilan were originally inscribed by Shen Honglie, the former mayor of Qingdao. This plaque was plundered to Japan during the second Japanese occupation of Qingdao. After the founding of New China, many people went to Japan to look for this plaque, but they couldn't find it. At present, the word "Huilan Pavilion" was written by the famous calligrapher Shu Tong.
