In the Chinese province of Shandong, the wonderful city of Qingdao is located. Sights of this region fascinate tourists at a glance at them. The village is distinguished by a special color, which is provided to it by churches, churches and houses in the Neo-Gothic style. They were erected at the end of the 20th century. The emblem of the village was the Qingdao dam, which runs 440 meters in length. The width of the object is nine meters. This and many other attractions will give travelers a stunning explosion of emotions and sensations.
The symbol of the city
Some objects are considered Qingdao symbols. These sights are worth seeing first. Among such places, I would like to highlight the wooden octagonal pavilion Huilan, which stands out against the background of European modern structures with an extraordinary design, which is supported by lotus lamps.
The pavilion is located on a semicircular breakwater in the southern part of Qingdao dam. The gazebo is located at the end of this bridge. Tourists and the Chinese themselves regularly come here. They visit Huilan to enjoy the seascapes and gull flights. In the middle of the gazebo, various exhibitions, such as art and photo exhibitions, are often arranged. This item is depicted on Qingdao beer bottle labels.
Church building
Qingdao's religious attractions are also popular with tourists. One of these structures is the Qingdao Catholic Cathedral, or St. Michael. It was built in 1943, and then it was called St. Emil. It is located on Zhejiang street. The religious building belongs to the Gothic style, but some elements of Romanesque culture are present in the architecture. The temple is built of yellow marble and features a special finish.
The area of the cathedral is 2.5 thousand square kilometers, and in height it reaches 80 meters. On either side of the main entrance, two bell towers soar upward. Reviews of people say that this church is the most pompous and largest in the whole city.
Since the object is installed on Zhongshan Hill, its spire is still visible from afar.
City museums
Qingdao attractions such as museums attract the attention of most travelers. The most popular among them are the Qingdao Fleet Museum and the Beer Museum.
If you do not know what to see in Qingdao (China) in the first place, then it is recommended to go to the Beer Museum. The city brewery is considered the largest in the whole Celestial Empire and is the pride of the local population. At the beginning of the last century, it was established by German immigrants. Today it is a brewery called Qingdao Pijiuchang.
The historical zone of the museum offers to consider photographs, archival documentation and regalia of the plant. An ancient beer shop and a technological department for its preparation — fermentation pools, copies of ancient laboratories and workplaces — are decorated in the neighborhood. The sculptures of the workers are made very skillfully. The whole process of making a drink is demonstrated here. In the museum you can also see all the components from which intoxicated nectar is made.
Qingdao Fleet Museum will cause no less interest than the previous facility. It was created by the People's Fleet of China. This museum is one of the best institutions demonstrating the stages of the formation of the Chinese fleet. The attraction was presented to a wide audience in October 1989.
The institution consists of three sections: the Maritime Region, the Inner Hall and the hall where the marine weapons are presented. The inner hall introduces visitors to the naval history of the Middle Kingdom. And in the other two sections, expositions of weapons, ships of various sizes, missiles and other exhibits are displayed.
A place with fabulous beauty
Photos of Qingdao sights indicate that the city has truly beautiful places. For example, the Laoshan mountain range. It stretches 90 kilometers along the coastline. This is such an amazingly beautiful place that the inhabitants of China would be considered big fanatics if they had not set up a park here. Here, every tourist is greeted with simply amazing pictures of nature.
The Chinese are convinced that Laoshan is populated by spirits. Emperor Qin Shihuang really wanted to meet them. To fulfill his dream, he climbed the peak of the mountain, but the rendezvous did not take place.
The best beaches in the world
Qingdao (China), the sights of which we describe, is famous all over the world for its beaches. The most famous are beach number 1, beach number 2 and beach number 6.
Beach No. 1 is known to some people as Hoi Quan. It is spread over 500 meters and has a width of 40 meters. This is the most popular beach in the city and the most famous in the Middle Kingdom.
Beach No. 2 is adjacent to the old city called Badaguan. It is considered the cleanest coast within the boundaries of a settlement. This place is surrounded by green hills with luxurious villas built on them.
Beach No. 6 is the busiest. Most people gather here in the morning: young people go in for sports, and pensioners relax on benches, reading books and breathing in fresh air.
