For a long time, the German Empire was looking for a stronghold on the Chinese coast. In 1897, the murder of two German missionaries in Shandong province finally provided a suitable pretext to seize the coveted Jiazhouwan Bay and force China to lease it to Germany for 99 years. With the founding of the city of Qingdao in 1898, a rapidly growing exemplary German settlement arose at the eastern exit of the bay - at that time, perhaps, the most modern city on the Far East... In german qingdao (Qingdao) at that time they wrote "Tsingtau". But "99 years" expired already in 1914, when the city was occupied by the Japanese. Contrary to the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, according to which the city was assigned to Japan, in 1919 the great patriotic movement of May 4 arose. In 1922, the entire region was returned to China. However, to this day, the city has retained the character of the Wilhelmian Empire, which is reflected in the local architectural style. Pay attention, for example, to the numerous imitations of half-timbered houses and mansard roofs.
Old city
Mooring pier
The main object, of interest to all visitors, juts out into the sea from the embankment of the Old City at 440 m: the Qingdao pier. At its end is a Chinese-style pavilion. The first pier was built in 1891; and the building acquired its present size in 1931.

Governor's residence
The most remarkable of the German buildings is located on the slope of the signal hill. It was built in 1905-1907. in a nostalgic rustic style with some Art Nouveau elements. Architecturally, the building is divided thanks to bay windows, fireplaces, pediments, loggias and ornaments that look interesting from any perspective. But the most beautiful is the decoration of the interior, which is almost completely preserved and in good condition. After the founding of the PRC in 1949, the residence was used as a state hotel. In particular, Mao Zedong also visited here. Longshan Lu 26. Working hours: daily. 8.30-17.00.
Qingdao beaches
From the Old Town to the east you can get to the beaches, which are separated from each other by strips of land protruding into the sea. The best is beach number 2. Here, the green cottage quarter of Badaguan goes inland. From beach number 3, a forest of skyscrapers can be seen in the area of new buildings - and here the number of Chinese tourists swimming at nightfall is truly impressive.
Laoshan
The main goal of out-of-town excursions for residents of Qingdao grows 40 km east of the city almost directly from the sea. This region is known throughout the country for its mineral water (Laoshanshui); the Qingdao brewery, founded by the Germans in 1903, also receives water from here. Taoist monasteries have been located on Laoshan Mountain for about 1000 years. They are another reason to come here.
Taqinggong monastery
The palace of the highest purity stands at the southeastern foot of Laoshan, from here beautiful view on the sea. The monastery was founded in the Song era, the current complex was built in the Wanli era (1573-1620) ... On the walls of the hall of the Three Emperors (Sanhuaidian) the inscriptions of Kublai Khan and Genghis Khan remained.
Shangqingong monastery
The palace of great purity is located higher up the slope and therefore is also called the Upper Monastery. Having emerged in the Yuan era in 1297-1307, it subsequently expanded many times. In front of the monastery there are several centuries-old gingko trees. To the south of the temple, a waterfall falls from a height of 20 m.
Summit area, hiking
From monasteries to cable car you can climb to the top. It lies at an altitude of 1133 m, and many pedestrian paths lead to it. Anyone who wants to stay here for a short time usually climbs to the southern flank, from where you can look at the sea. However, worthwhile goals for others hiking mostly located in the north, including several caves, steep cliffs and other monasteries. Bus No. 304 and private minibuses are available from Qingdao.

Container transshipment terminals
1) Qingdao Qianwan Container Terminal Co., Ltd (QQCT)
2) Qingdao Qianwan United Container Terminal Co., Ltd. (QQCTU).
The Unified Canwan Container Terminal is the result of the merger of New Qingdao Qianwan Container Terminal Co., Ltd. (QQCTN) and China Merchants International Container Terminal (Qingdao) Co., Ltd.
The Canwan Container Terminal operates 37 STS for unloading Super Post Panamax vessels (maximum crane reach up to 24 rows of containers), over 100 RTG container gantry cranes, as well as 44 forklifts of various capacities.

Dongjiakou Port
Dongjiakou (35 ° 34 "latitude, 119 ° 48" longitude) is a new port built on the eastern side of the Dongjiakou Peninsula in a drained area about 46 miles from Qingdao.
The port plans to handle a large amount of bulk cargo, liquid chemicals, general cargo, coal and ore. In the future, it is planned to open terminals for receiving containers and liquefied natural gas.
The port runs from the southeast along a new buoyed fairway, approximately 7.7 miles long and 390 meters wide, with a depth of 23.2 meters after dredging.
The new liquefied natural gas tanker fairway has been deepened away from the main channel and is approximately 0.74 miles long and 345 meters wide, with a projected depth of 14.7 meters.
The fairway for liquefied natural gas tankers occupies the following positions:
- 35 ° 33 "12" "latitude, 119 ° 45" 21 "" longitude
- 35 ° 33 "16" "latitude, 119 ° 45" 34 "" longitude
- 35 ° 33 "58" "latitude, 119 ° 45" 17 "" longitude
- 35 ° 33 "52" "latitude, 119 ° 45" 05 "" longitude
From Cape Dongjiakou at 5 ° 34 "56.8" "latitude, 119 ° 45" 46.2 "" "longitude, a 1.05 mile breakwater was built that goes south to 35 ° 34" 26.4 "" latitude, 119 ° 45 " 46.3 "" longitude, then turns southwest to 35 ° 33 "57.7" "latitude, 119 ° 45" 40.3 "" longitude.
Although it is planned to build 112 berths, currently (2014) the port has several operating berths and one terminal for receiving liquefied natural gas.
The port's berths include a pier for receiving imported ore on the eastern side of the pier, 520 meters long and 25 meters deep, which allows to receive ships with a displacement of 400,000 dwt.
Another berth for receiving ore from the same type of vessels is planned to be built on the other side of the pier.
The existing universal berth with a length of 372 meters and a depth of 19.2 meters is able to receive ships with a displacement of 50,000 deadweight.
The terminal for receiving liquefied natural gas (Berth No. 1) is located on the eastern side of the breakwater. This pier is connected to the mainland by a 852 meter long bridge. The area of Berth No. 1 is 485 meters long and 110 meters wide, with an estimated depth of 14.7 meters. In the current conditions, vessels for the transport of liquefied gas with a displacement of 210,000 cubic meters and more cannot be received by this berth until the construction is fully completed.
