Xiao Qingdao
Now we come to Little Qingdao. Little Qingdao is located in Qingdao Bay on the north side of the estuary of Jiaozhou Bay, with an altitude of only 17.2m and an area of only 0.0 12km2. The island is as small as a snail, with beautiful rocks and lush trees, hence the name Little Qingdao. When Germany occupied Qingdao, it named Little Qingdao "Akna Island", and when Japan occupied Qingdao, it was named "Kato Island". It was opened as "Little Qingdao Park" in the early 1930s.
Look at the seawall levee in front of you. It was built in the 1940s when Japan occupied Qingdao. It is 720 meters long and connects the small Qingdao with the coast. There is a white lighthouse at the highest place on the island, which was built by the Germans in 1900 (the 26th year of Guangxu). The tower is all marble, with a height of15.5m and an octagonal shape. The tower is equipped with a reflector, which emits light with a rotating reflector in the shape of a bull's eye. 1997 replace the beacon lamp made in Spain, and send the original lamp to Qinhuangdao beacon museum for collection. The sea area of this lighthouse is 15 nautical mile, which is an important navigation mark for passing ships entering Jiaozhou Bay. Whenever night falls, the lighthouse on the island flashes red, outlining a great scenic spot in Qingdao-"floating lights on Qinyu Island".
Little Qingdao, also known as "Qindao", looks very much like an guqin lying on the sea from a height. Look at this sculpture in front of you. A young woman looked at the sea and put her hand on the harp. She is the piano girl.
There is also a sad story about "Qin Nv". Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a fairy who could play the piano in the sky. She took a fancy to a young fisherman on the island and secretly came to earth to marry him. Every morning when her husband goes fishing, she weaves a net at home. In the evening, she stood on the beach and played the piano, so that her husband could find the piano and go home. When the jade emperor knew about it, he flew into a rage. He let the sea dragon king make waves and overturned the boy's behavior. Qin women have been playing the piano by the sea, waiting for her husband to return. For decades, my hair is white and my eyes are blind. Her husband never heard from her again. People created this statue in memory of Qin women.
Standing on Xiaoqing Island to see Qingdao, the blue sea and blue sky set each other off, and the city is half green and half tower, which is absolutely beautiful.
Predecessors wrote a poem describing the amorous feelings of Little Qingdao, which was included in many tourist books after 1949: "There are not many green hills, and an island in the water is as small as a snail, and the clouds are swaying, like bathing in the waves at night."
landing stage
Friends say that Tiananmen Square is the symbol of Beijing, the Bund is the symbol of Shanghai, and the trestle is the symbol of Qingdao, which is the pride of Qingdao people. It is located in Qingdao Bay, with a total length of 440 meters and a width of 8 meters. It extends from the coast to the sea. In 1930s, the trestle "Huilan Pavilion" ranked first among the top ten landscapes in Qingdao with the name of "Flying Pavilion Huilan". The well-known Tsingtao beer trademark at home and abroad is designed with the trestle as the pattern.
The trestle has a history of 100 years. She not only recorded the humiliating years in Qingdao, but also recorded the construction and development of Qingdao after 1949. 189 1 year, Qingdao (Jiaoao) was established. 1892, the Qing government appointed Gaoyuan Zhang, the chief soldier of Dengzhou Town, to station troops in Qingdao. In order to load and unload military materials, ships from beiyang fleet were berthed, and two docks were built, one of which is the present trestle. The original trestle is 200m long and10m wide. It was designed by engineers in China, and it was the earliest dock construction in Qingdao Port. The trestle was the only maritime "arms supply line" at that time, that is to say, whoever controlled the trestle controlled Jiaozhou Bay.
1897, Germany landed from Qingdao Bay where the trestle bridge was located in the name of exercise, and occupied Qingdao by force. The trestle became the witness of German occupation of Qingdao. After the German occupation, the trestle was rebuilt, but it was still a military dock. 1904, after the completion of Dagang No.1 Pier, the trestle gradually lost its historical mission as a pier and began to open to tourists. 193 1 year, Nanjing national government invested heavily in rebuilding the trestle bridge, and the bridge body was lengthened to 440 meters. A semi-circular breakwater was built at the southern end of the bridge, and a national style Huilan Pavilion was built on it. From then on, the trestle became the first scene in China. After the founding of New China, the people's government allocated funds for the maintenance of trestle bridge for many times. 1985 and 1998 all carried out large-scale reconstruction of trestle. 200 1 seaside scenic spots including trestle bridge were rated as the first batch of AAAA-level scenic spots by the National Tourism Administration.
Walking back from the bridge head of the trestle, you can see a picture of the city full of romantic European customs. Just as Mr. Kang Youwei described "red tiles and green trees, blue sea and blue sky", Liang Shiqiu's "Looking at the magnificent, for the glory of the king".
Huilange
The word "Huilan Pavilion" in the distance was written by Shu Tong, a famous calligrapher. Originally inscribed by Shen Honglie, the former mayor of Qingdao, it was plundered to Japan during Japan's second occupation of Qingdao and displayed in the Army Museum in Tokyo, Japan, to show the "achievements" of the war of aggression against China. This pavilion is an octagonal pavilion on the second floor. The exhibition hall is covered with colored glazed tiles and surrounded by glass windows. As the saying goes, "one window and one scene, one scene and one painting".
Scenic spots around trestle bridge
Looking back, it is Zhongshan Road, the old commercial street in Qingdao, with a history of 100 years. 1929, in memory of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, called Zhongshan Road. Total length exceeds 1300m. Together with Wangfujing Street in Beijing and Nanjing Road in Shanghai, it was once called the top ten commercial streets in China. Reconstruction is being planned, and the lottery is expected to be 600 million. The tallest building on Zhongshan Road is Parkson Commercial Building. 1998 opened in September. Is one of the first 18 joint venture retail enterprises in the State Council. Joint venture with Qingdao No.1 Department Store and Malaysia Golden Lion Group with an investment of 780 million yuan. The shopping mall covers an area of 50,000 square meters, which was then called "the first floor of Qilu Business". This beach west of the trestle is the sixth smallest bathing beach in the city. Because it is in the city center and the surrounding environment is beautiful, many people swim here. The Shandong International Trade Building on the right is the tallest building in Shandong in the 1990s. 199 1 year, 1 month, 65438+2 months, adopting new technologies and new materials, creating the fastest record of building a floor in 4.5 days in China. The tall building next to the blue glass wall is Qingdao Customs Building. Although it is named after Qingdao, it is the general administrative organ for entry-exit supervision at Shandong Port, with more than ten customs offices in Jinan, Zibo, Yantai and Weihai under its jurisdiction, and it is one of the three largest customs offices in northern China. The building was built in 1992. Since 1997, the import and export freight volume supervised for many years has ranked first in the country. Look at that strange building at sea called the palace at sea. The whole building consists of several quarter circles, and it is a first-class restaurant in Qingdao. From a distance, it looks like a pearl floating on the sea. This small island in the distance is called "Xuejia Island". It turned out to be an island. In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a general named Lv Xue in the fishing village on the island. Later, it gradually developed into a larger fishing village, renamed Xuejia Village, and later renamed Xuejia Island. With an area of 27 square kilometers and a coastline of 38 kilometers, it has the longest beach in Qingdao-"Golden Beach". On our left rear is the Oceanwide Celebrity Hotel, a typical German classical building, formerly known as the Tourism Department of Qingdao Hotel in Germany. Founded in 1993, The Prince Henry, the younger brother of German emperor William Yang Er, has set foot here many times. At that time, it was usually called "The Prince Henry Hotel".
Three Gorges: Zhanqiao Road and Taiping Road in the east and Guizhou Road in the north. Eight roads in the area are named after eight famous canyons in China, so they are called "Eight Gorges" (Sanmenxia, Liujiaxia, Qingtongxia, Longyang Gorge, Yueming Gorge, Hongshan Gorge, Qutang Gorge and Xiling Gorge). Xiling Gorge is the main passage to visit the Three Gorges. Badaxia was originally two reef areas in Tuandao Bay. After reclamation, the dike covers an area of 56 hectares. Developed from 1985, a new building complex was built in the early 1990s. Compared with the old city, the Three Gorges is full of modern flavor.
Zhongyuan Maritime Plaza: invested and built by Shandong Zhongyuan Group Company, built in 1996, is a large-scale modern comprehensive tourism project. Zhongyuan International Tourist Port is the largest tourist passenger terminal in China, consisting of a two-story circular sightseeing trestle with a total length of 2,285 meters and a 10,000-ton multi-purpose terminal.
The cruise ship Zhongyuan, with a length of120m and 6 floors, was distributed and decorated by a large unpowered floating barracks in Russia. This is a fully functional "sea hotel".
Going deep into the ocean along the double-deck trestle, a magnificent palace-Zhongyuan Maritime Satellite Sightseeing Tower will be built in the next stage of construction planning. It is one of the most important buildings in Qingdao integrating science and technology, catering and accommodation, leisure and entertainment, sightseeing and shopping.
Xiaoyushan
Next, we will visit Xiaoyushan Park. Xiaoyu Mountain is not high in altitude, only 6 1 m, but its geographical position is very superior. It faces the sea and is backed by the old city of Qingdao, so it is known as the best commanding height to enjoy the panoramic view of Qingdao's offshore area. When the Germans invaded Qingdao (1897), they discovered this geographical advantage and built a solid fort on Shantou, which played an important role in the Japanese-German war in Qingdao and became the last artillery base of the Germans with a white flag.
Xiaoyu Mountain, located on Yushan Road at the eastern end of Laiyang Road, is one of the top ten garden parks in the island city. This used to be the place where fishermen in the village dried their fishing nets and fish before the meeting. Xiaoyushan was originally an unknown hill, because the road in front of the mountain was named after a famous Buddhist mountain "Yushan" in Dong 'e County, Shandong Province, and Xiaoyushan was named after this road. Xiaoyu Mountain Park covers an area of 2.5 hectares and was officially opened to the public on 1985, becoming one of the top ten scenic spots in Qingdao.
We walked up the steps from Xiaoyu Mountain Gate, and the pavilion we saw was a hexagonal pavilion with overhangs. Because you can see the rippling Huiquan Bay in the pavilion, it is named "Bibo Pavilion". Its plaque "Bibo" was inscribed by Wu Zuoren, a famous master of Chinese painting. Standing here, you can see three red mushroom-shaped buildings on the distant mountain, like three burning torches, that is Signal Mountain Park. The unique building among the green trees halfway up the mountain is Qingdao Guest House, which was originally the official residence of the German Governor's Office, commonly known as Fuyin Building. This is a German-style building, which combines the typical architectural style of William era in Germany and the technique of young de stijl. It is praised by Chinese and foreign friends as a precious "specimen" in the world, which we will introduce in detail later. You can see two ethnic buildings on the lower right. One is shaped like a tower and the other looks like a palace. It used to be Qingdao Seafood Restaurant, but now it is Qingdao Underwater World.
The next three-story octagonal pavilion is called "Blue Tide Pavilion", and the three words on the plaque of "Blue Tide Pavilion" are also inscribed by Wu Zuoren. The exhibition hall is 18 meters high, with red tiles, green trees, blue sea and blue sky, and fully appreciates the unique features of Qingdao. It is also interesting to watch the sea and enjoy the moon in the tide pavilion, especially in the Mid-Autumn Festival of the lunar calendar, when a bright moon jumps into the starry sky, people suddenly feel that "at this time, the sea rises and the moon rises, and the horizon is * * *", which is also one of the top ten landscapes in Qingdao. Let's look at the decorative patterns of this pavilion. They are all fish. In ancient China, most buildings were decorated with dragons and phoenixes, which also reflected the characteristics of Xiaoyu Mountain.
The white alabaster relief we see now is the mountain symbol of Xiaoyu Mountain. It is composed of modern characters "Xiao", "Mountain" and ancient hieroglyphics "Fish", surrounded by black marble line-carved murals, highlighting the life scenes of ancient working people fishing and hunting.
When you come to Xiaoyu Mountain, you can not only see the scenery of Qingdao, but also see the glazed murals. What we saw was the glass mural "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" created by the teachers and students of the 79th Class Body Art Department of the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts (now Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts), and won the first prize of the National Art Exhibition.
The underglaze mural I saw at the corner was Pu Songling Universe, depicting Pu Songling's former residence and serial stories such as Painted Skin, Taoist of Laoshan Mountain, Promotion of Weaving and Xi Fangping, which added some mystery to Xiaoyu Mountain.
Now, our pavilion is called "Cui Yongting", which is named after the lush mountain scenery. The plaque on the pavilion was also inscribed by Wu Zuoren.
Look again, this beach at the foot of the mountain is the first bathing beach, the largest and most lively beach in Qingdao. Huiquan Dynasty Hotel, the first joint venture hotel in Qingdao, is a five-star hotel managed by Hong Kong Yan Yan Hotel Management Group. Behind the hotel are Tiantai Stadium and Huiquan Square. The park next to it is Zhongshan Park, the largest comprehensive park in Qingdao. The mountain with a tall tower is Taiping Mountain, with an altitude of116m. This tower is China Olympic Sightseeing Tower and Qingdao Radio and Television Tower. This 232-meter-high tower is one of the new symbols of Qingdao's century-old city.
Here, you can have a panoramic view of the old city of Qingdao. In the next free time, you can board the Tide Hall for free, see the picturesque scenery in front of the bay and feel the cool sea breeze in Qingdao.
signal hill
The Signal Mountain, which we visited in a center, used to be the place where ships passing in and out of Qingdao Port transmitted signals.
Signal Mountain is 98 meters above sea level, which is the higher mountain in the city. Formerly known as Dashitou Mountain, it was named after the granite boulders on the mountain. After the completion of Qingdao Port, there is a flag platform on the mountain, hence the name "Signal Mountain", also known as "Hanging Flag Mountain". It faces the sea and is backed by the urban area, which is the best and highest point to enjoy the panoramic view of Qingdao offshore.
1897, when Germany invaded Qingdao, it first occupied Signal Mountain as the commanding height, pointed its gun at the yamen of the General Staff of the Qing government, and forced the Qing army to evacuate. Later, the earliest radio station in Qingdao was built on the mountain, and a signal guiding station was set up to direct ships to enter and leave Jiaozhou Bay. Therefore, the Governor of Jiaoao, Germany named this mountain "Cigna 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 guide flag, and the signal mountain ended the historical mission of signal navigation. Signal Mountain Park was built in 1987, and the revolving viewing building was built in 1989.
The south gate is the main entrance of Signal Mountain and a climbing step. Climbing up the stairs, you can see murals and inscriptions reflecting ancient and modern signal transmission activities.
Entering from the north gate is a flat land, just like a wide platform on a ship, called "Tao Tao Observation Deck". On the way, you will pass a stone arch bridge, which is called "Lian Xin Overpass" or "Auspicious Bridge". What we are seeing now is Wulongtan. There are four black dragons guarding a golden dragon in the pool. There is also a fairy tale about Wulongtan. Coincidentally, there are just five roads under Signal Mountain, all named after dragons. They are Longshan Road, Fulong Road, Longhua Road, Longkou Road and Longjiang Road. There are also four huts along the road, full of wild interests, namely Russian hut, green hut, Flaubert hut and Shakespeare hut.
There is a red gate called "Longmen", which is the main building of Signal Mountain. Three red dome mushroom-shaped buildings with different heights symbolize three red torches used to transmit signals in ancient China. The tallest mushroom building in the middle, ***6 floors, 20 meters high, can climb to the fifth floor, with a rotating observation deck on it. You can see the scenery of the island city through 28 pieces of glass.
The corridor next to it is called "Liuqu Corridor", which displays 46 kinds of ship signal flags that are still in use today. Signal Mountain is located in the city center, which is not only a good place to browse, but also a good place for citizens to entertain themselves and climb high and look far. It is a custom in Jiaodong to accept Ai Lou. Every year before the dawn of the Dragon Boat Festival, citizens climb the Signal Mountain to collect mugwort leaves and dew to eliminate disasters and ensure safety. During the Dragon Boat Festival, many people put mugwort leaves on six windows.
Ok, friends, we go up the hill from the south gate to the highest mushroom building, and the rotation time is 10 minutes. You can have a panoramic view of Qingdao's offshore landscape. There are many forks when going down the mountain. Please be sure to go back the same way and meet in the car in an hour.
Badaguan
Now we come to Badaguan, a famous tourist attraction. Badaguan is characterized by the diversity of architectural styles of villas inside. According to statistics, there are buildings with architectural styles from 24 countries in the world in the scenic spot, so it has the reputation of "World Architecture Expo". Tourists wander in the quiet and beautiful streets of Badaguan, as if they were in a foreign country, and they have a special taste.
How did the name "Badaguan" come from? In fact, it is composed of eight criss-crossing roads. The first road is named after the famous pass in China. Like "the first pass in the world"-Shanhaiguan, Zhengyangguan, Zijingguan, Ning Wuguan, Juyongguan, Hanguguan, Wushengguan and Jiayuguan. Later, two passes were added, namely Shaoguan and Linhuai Pass, but they were still called Badaguan Pass. There is a characteristic here. Each road is planted with representative trees such as Shanhaiguan (French phoenix tree), Zhengyangguan (Ziwei), Zijingguan (Cedar), Ning Wuguan (Begonia), Shaoguan (Bi Tao), Linhuaiguan (Longbai), Juyongguan (Ginkgo), Hanguguan (Torch Pine) and Wushengguan (Cherry Blossom). It is called "ten steps to a forest, a hundred steps to a garden", which constitutes a world of flowers and a green flower country.
Dear friends, we can see many unique buildings around us now. Maybe you will ask why there are so many buildings here. It was in the 1920s that some dignitaries bought land and built houses here, and foreign consulates in Qingdao also built villas here. The architectural styles of Japan, Russia, Denmark, Hungary, France and other countries are concentrated here. Therefore, it is said: "Swimming through the Eight Marks is like visiting Europe for the first time".
Because of its diverse buildings and beautiful environment, it has become a "natural studio" for filming movies and TV series. Do you feel deja vu? After liberation, more than 40 films were filmed here, such as The Second Handshake and Ning Qingling and Her Sisters. So it is very common for you to meet a famous artist or artist here.
Huashi Villa: Built in 193 1, it was built by a Russian aristocrat who was exiled in China (then commonly known as "Belarus"). The owner's name is "lebics". It is a European castle-style building with both Greek and Roman styles and Gothic features. The main building consists of a circular and polygonal stone building. The circular building has five floors, and the top floor is a sea-watching platform. On this basis, you can enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset at sea. In addition to granite, this building is also inlaid with many pebbles, so it is called "Huashi Villa".
Huashi Villa is also called "Jiang Mansion". It is said that Chiang Kai-shek once lived here. This statement has been circulating for a long time. Later, after textual research, when Chiang Kai-shek came to Qingdao, he lived in Badaguan, but not here, but in the "easy house" on Zhengyangguan Road. But the name stayed.
Dai Li, the head of the Kuomintang military spy, visited Qingdao many times. It is said that he and then movie star Bai Guang also lived here. It was after this tryst with Bai Guang that Dai Li crashed into a mountain and died while flying back to Nanjing from Qingdao. After liberation, Huashi Villa was managed by the Communication Office of Qingdao Municipal People's Government and became a place for receiving Chinese and foreign VIPs. Party and state leaders Dong and Chen Yi once walked here. Marshal Chen Yi's long poem "First Visit to Qingdao" in Qingdao was written when he first came to Qingdao to recuperate and lived in Huashi Mountain Villa. 1992 was listed as a provincial key cultural relics protection unit by Shandong provincial government.
The second bathing beach: small area and beautiful environment, leaving many footprints of party and state leaders. 1957 Chairman Mao visited Qingdao many times. There are many reefs in the west beach of the bathing beach. Many couples choose Badaguan and the second bathing beach to take wedding photos. There are blue sky and blue sea here, so that the sea can witness their romantic love. This is also a unique scenery in Qingdao.
Navy Museum
Friends, if you want to board a guided missile destroyer or experience the life in a submarine, go to naval museum, China and Qingdao.
Naval museum, China is located at No.8 Laiyang Road, with Qingdao Bay in the west. Founded in 1989, it is another professional military museum after Beijing Military Museum and Aviation Museum, and the only military museum in China that comprehensively reflects the development history of the Chinese People's Navy, and the only naval museum in China. There are indoor exhibition halls, weapons and equipment exhibition areas and marine exhibition areas. Mr. Qi Gong, a famous calligrapher, wrote seven characters "China naval museum" at the main entrance.
The indoor exhibition hall consists of three parts: China Navy History Exhibition Room, Navy Clothing Exhibition Room and Gift Exhibition Room. It shows the military uniforms and ranks of the People's Navy in various periods, as well as precious gifts from friendly countries and armies. The weapons and equipment exhibition area shows all kinds of retired naval weapons and equipment, including the K- 185 wooden-shell torpedo speedboat that the Prime Minister took when he reviewed the naval forces stationed in Qingdao on 1957, and the landline of the naval commander General Xiao. The maritime exhibition area is located in the bay of the small Qingdao land levee, where the Great Wall submarine, Anshan guided missile destroyer and Eagle Turbid air defense missile frigate are parked. Anshan Ship was the first destroyer purchased from the Soviet Union in 1954, and made outstanding achievements in World War II. After being incorporated into China, it was reviewed by leaders of the party, state and army such as Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Ye Jianying, Deng Xiaoping and He Long.
In July, 1992, naval museum was approved as a designated unit for foreign-related tourism in Qingdao. It always touches everyone with its unique solemnity. We all want peace and oppose war, but only when we are strong can we maintain peace. Let's wish our army stronger here.
qingdao railway station
Among thousands of railway stations in China, Qingdao Railway Station is unique with its unique shape. The train station is also a scenic spot for passengers who travel to and from Qingdao by sudden train. You can see the beautiful sea as soon as you get off the train. Such a location is also rare in coastal cities.
Qingdao Railway Station, located at the eastern end of Ji Jiao Railway, is an important gateway to Qingdao with a history of one hundred years.
Before Germany invaded Qingdao, it planned to build a railway from Jiaoao to the mainland in order to plunder the rich resources in Shandong and North China and seize commercial profits. 1899, Germany raised 53 million marks, and the Qing government invested 22,000 silver to establish Dehua Shandong Railway Company to build a railway from Jiaoao in the east to Jinan in the west. 1904 was completed and opened to traffic, with a total length of 394 kilometers, which is the traffic artery of Shandong. At the same time, Germany has built German-style railway stations, the most distinctive of which are Jinan Railway Station and Qingdao Railway Station.
The railway station consists of a waiting building and a bell tower. At that time, glazed tiles were used in China, which was a rare architectural style combining Chinese and Western styles. The towering spire shows the architectural style of the German Renaissance.
The current railway station was only expanded in 2007, and its appearance has always maintained its original style. The project will be completed and put into operation in June 2008.
At present, Qingdao Railway Station has 26 pairs of departure trains and 22 pairs of departure freight trains, sending more than 10,000 passengers and 2.6 million tons of goods every year. The annual transportation income is 570 million yuan, and there are 28 online ticketing outlets. In 2002, it was awarded the title of first-class credit enterprise (AAA) in Qingdao and the title of credit service demonstration unit of China Consumers Association.
Shilao ecology tourist park
Shilao Sightseeing Park is located in Shilao National Tourist Resort, bordering on the Giant Foshan in the north and the sea in the south, covering an area of 80 hectares. It is a comprehensive agricultural demonstration park organized and built by Shilaoren Village, which integrates modern agriculture, tourism, leisure and holiday functions. It takes caring for life and respecting the environment as its theme, and takes traditional agricultural techniques, agricultural customs, agricultural gods and landscape environment as its carrier to display traditional culture and create characteristic leisure space.
According to the master plan, Shilaoren Agricultural Sightseeing Park is divided into three parts: natural ecological landscape, agricultural sightseeing and myths and legends. In addition, there are other scenic spots in front of the park. The contents of the project mainly include agricultural technology, agricultural customs, agricultural products, quality education, landscape, service facilities and so on.
Due to the good natural protection in the scenic area, the virgin forest covers the whole mountain, and the newly planted trees form a unique natural landscape. All kinds of stereos are all over the scenic spot, and you can enjoy music at any time when you walk in the scenic spot.
At the gate, we can see a group of sculptures, which are composed of three huge stones, with images of heaven, earth and people engraved on them, as well as the sculptures of the China Zodiac. Entering the gate, the first thing I saw was Longfeng Square, where there were fishing boats and rollers used in the past, recreating the life scene of Shilaoren Village. There are all kinds of statues in the square. Shennong is on the left side of the entrance to the square, Cha Sheng Lu Yu is on the west side of the square, and Cang Xie is on the north side of the square. In the center of the square, there is a group of sculptures of the stone old man, with interesting legends such as heartless mountain, gold and silver soil, companion mountain, dragon and phoenix tea and golden hook dry rice as the theme.
There is an orchard on the hillside on the east side of Youfeng Square, which is planted with persimmons, apples, peaches, cherries, plums and other fruit trees. On the hillside on the west side, there are vegetables, Laoshan tea and flowers.
Up the hill along the hillside, there are two huts, Wu Wenting, and this one in the east is Ge Wenting, which enshrines Bao Gong and Liu Bowen. This is the Wu Ge in the west, where Guan Yu and Yue Fei are enshrined. There is a forest on the western slope of the mountain, where there are connected fences, huts, stone benches and so on. The stone next to it is engraved with various words such as happiness, happiness and fate, as well as designs such as red hearts.
On Dongpo Mountain, we can see a pavilion, which is called double viewing pavilion, because it can see the beautiful scenery of blue sky and blue sea and the wonders of sunrise.
Climb from Tianjie to the mountain, pass 298 steps,150m cliff, and you can see the surging sea in the distance.
Continue to climb the long ladder from the hanging stack. After a thrilling climb, you can reach Huixian Pavilion, which is the tallest building in Qingdao at present. The couplets in the pavilion fully express the mood of climbing the pavilion. "Far away, water and sky are the same. I am the peak of heaven and man. "
Climbing from Huixian Pavilion, you can reach the highest peak of this mountain-the Giant Buddha Peak, which is now under development. From the top of the Buddha statue, we can go to Tian Yun Hall. Entering the mountain gate, there are two generals on both sides of the door. From here up is the Tian Yun Temple, with the Jade Emperor in the middle, the Empress Dowager on the right and the Taibai Venus on the left. On both sides are wind, rain, lightning, the Twin Towers, Li Tianwang and Fu Luxi, and barefoot immortals.
From Tian Yun Temple to the west, we can see another hexagonal pavilion on the top of the mountain. This pavilion has a clock, so it becomes a clock pavilion. On weekdays, the bells here roar and can be heard in distant mountains and offshore waters.
May Fourth Square
The May 4th Square is backed by the municipal government building and faces Fushan Bay in the south, with a longitudinal length of 700 meters from north to south and a total area of 10 hectare. This is a modern square with lawns, fountains and sculptures.
May 4th Square was named after the May 4th Movement. As we all know, the May 4th Movement and the anti-imperialist patriotic movement that broke out in 19 19 were triggered by Qingdao's sovereignty. 19 19 1, at the "Peace Conference" held in Paris, France, China, as a victorious country, attended the meeting and put forward a just request to recover Qingdao's sovereignty, but it was rejected by Britain, France, the United States and Japan, and Qingdao's sovereignty was forcibly transferred to Japan. The news shocked the whole country. On May 4th, students in Beijing held a demonstration, demanding strongly to refuse to sign the contract, shouting slogans such as "Fight for Qingdao sovereignty to the death" and "Give me back Shandong, give me back Qingdao". Students' patriotic behavior won the support of the whole country. In the national opposition, the Beiyang government in China was forced to refuse to sign the Paris Peace Conference, which shattered the Japanese plot to permanently occupy Qingdao. Due to the heroic struggle of China people, Qingdao's sovereignty was finally recovered at 1922 65438+2 10. In view of the special entanglement between Qingdao and the May 4th Movement, the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government decided to name the new square "May 4th Square".
The tall and majestic torch-shaped red sculpture we see now is the "May Wind" sculpture in Qingdao New Town. It weighs 700 tons, nearly 30 meters high and 27 meters in diameter. At that time, he was the heaviest steel carving man in the country. Sculpture highlights the historical background of Qingdao as the fuse of the May 4th Movement, and contains a strong inspiring meaning. Luxuriant spiral steel plate structure combination, with concise technique, simple lines and strong texture, shows a strong wind soaring and gives people a shock of strength. It inspires people to carry forward the May 4th patriotic spirit and work hard to meet the arrival of the new century.
The bay in front of us is called Fushan Bay. Look at the Olympic sailing base ahead. The total land area is 45 hectares, and the land area during the Olympic sailing competition is about 30 hectares. The whole project includes two parts: land engineering and water conservancy engineering. Land engineering mainly includes five building units: administrative and competition management center, athlete center, media center, logistics support and function center, and supporting projects such as environment. Water works include main breakwater, secondary breakwater, jetty wharf, Olympic memorial wall wharf, bank protection and other water works.
