Qingdao Tours
The skilled German engineers built Qingdao into a small Bavarian town. UGG OutletFresh air and crowd free streets help complete the transformation. The area around Bada Guan, close to the No. 2 Bathing Beach, is the former German residential area, meaning "eight passes." Bada Guan now sports ten streets line with 100Western villas. Spacious and blessed with greenery, each street is lined with a single type of tree; locals can tell what street they're on just by looking at the trees.
On the south slope of the hill is a massive German villa. The magnificently built mansion was the former residence of the German governor and the entire estate covers 26,000m2. No extravagance was spared in its construction much of the construction material was shipped from Europe –the governor felt he deserved the utmost in luxury. Unfortunately for him when the Kaiser saw the construction bill, the hapless governor was immediately recalled.
Qingdao was little more than a fishing village in a scenic bay before the end of the 19th century. By 1891, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had decided to exploit the bay's strategic position and turn it into a naval base, but the tragic farce of the Boxer Rebellion unleashed a series of events that would deliver Qingdao to the Germans, eager for a stake in East Asia.
