    Former Governor's formal residence ying2 bin1 guan
  • Tip Rating:
  • The construction began in 1905 and not finished until 1907.
    The architecture is "Jugensteil", popular at that time in Germany, and what I heard is this is rare now in Germany due to the war.

    Built up area: 4000 sq m, when an average modern apartment in Qingdao now (2006) is 100 sq m.

    This was about the only place equipped with electricity supply.
    It's got an indoor garden. (Imagine how this colonial governor spent the money)

    Cost a lot of money to build this essentric palace at that time.

    Furniture from Stuttgart. A lot of elaborate fruits (especially bundles of grapes) carvings on its fixtures and fittings.

    Entrance fee: RMB15

    Tsingtao Beer & Zhanqiao Pier
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you look at other entries, you'll find directions on how to get to the brewery. However, what few of those entries show is that after you tip a few down, you can visit the water temple that is iconalized on the top of the beer bottle label. If you don't believe me, grab a beer and wander the old city beach and look at the temple first hand.

    C-trip.com "At full tide, the billowy surf rolls against the beach, the breakers sending up a fountain of spray. With the ebbing of the tide, appear the brown reefs and yellowish sand, a time for tourists and locals to gather conches and other seashells"

  • Directions: Busses No.2, 5, 6, 8, 25, 26, 218, 220, 223, 225, 301, 304, 305, 307, 311, 316, 320, 321, 501, 217, and 801 to get there.

    Another fun-filled activity that costs nothing.

    Wait for the tide to go. Then get to a rocky beach and start turning over the rocks. Crabs hide underneath. And little fish of all kinds swim in the poodles.

    Great fun!

    Climb the Xin4 Hao4 (Signal) Mountain.

    It is only 100m, and along the way you see all sorts of plants. Plenty of greenery.
    Once you get to the top you climb an ugly red building onto a floor which revolves, so you get to see a 360 degree view of the old town. Splendid.

    Also, at the car park you can see the Governor's house from a distance. That makes it look like a toy house. Very pretty.

    Entrance ticket: RMB15

    Walk along the beach from No. 1 Bathing beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • There is a wooden walkway to the east of the bathing beach. Just walk it. Great view of the sea and of the colonial houses on your left. You can also see people taking bridal pictures (Yuk, how dirty their gowns are). Best of all, it costs nothing.
