Walking in the elite section of the old city
The beauty of the old city of Qingdao comes from a disgraceful history and colony. 189 1 year, the Qing government sent troops to Qingdao and Qingdao was established. 1897 Germans forced Qingdao to be a colony. This is a humiliating history. There were many forts in Qingdao Mountain during the German occupation. At the same time, it was also the only battlefield in Asia during the First World War, silently telling the world that history.
The former site of Qingdao International Club, Zhongshan Road Zhongshan Road 1, has always been a social place for the upper class. Now it is a German restaurant, serving authentic German food. I believe that when eating in this place, the mood is definitely greater than the taste.
Nowadays, times have changed. For various reasons, except summer, the seasons around Zhongshan Road are a little depressed. Most of the buildings on Zhongshan Road are the former sites of some banks. Personally, I feel beautiful, but many cities are similar, not very characteristic of Qingdao.
Tickets for St. Mill's Church: Tickets 15, half price for students.
The interior of the Catholic Church was renovated and reopened in April this year. It is still worth seeing. There was the only organ in Asia at that time. According to insiders, it will be played every afternoon, but on the day I went, the performer was on a business trip and couldn't hear its wonderful melody.
There are always newcomers who take wedding photos in front of the church. There is a rose window with stained glass inside the church, which is solemn and pious.
The former site of Princess Anna Villa has just been renovated at the beginning of this year. I wonder what's the story of the old building. It's just been renovated, not just new.
After visiting the Catholic Church, you can walk along Zhejiang Road to Hubei Road, which is a very ordinary street. I remember several seafood sellers. You can take a look at the rich seafood varieties in Qingdao.
Paper Realm-If the independent bookstore is lucky, you can go in and have a look at the merchants who meet the "paper realm" on Hubei Road. In fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is an independent bookstore than that it is a private study open to the public. The boss is very gentle and the whole cabin is full of popularity. Sitting in the book city, tea adds fragrance, life is like this, what more can a husband ask for?
