The Trestle Bridge is located on the southern coast of Qingdao's downtown district. It is a 440-meter sea promenade that extends from the land into the sea. The bridge was built in the Emperor Guangxu period of the Qing dynasty (1892) and dates back 100 years. It was one of the first special military docks in Qingdao and is now regarded as a symbol of Qingdao. The Huilan Pavilion at the end of the Trestle Bridge is a witness to the history of modern Qingdao. Now, within the Pavilion, there is a series of themed exhibitions showing unique aspects of Qingdao, such as its modern history, culture, folk traditions, etc.

Show More ReviewsZhanqiao Pier, built in 1891 (the 17th year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign), is Qingdao's first modern artificial naval pier. It is 440 meters long and 10 meters wide, with the Huilan Pavilion at its southernmost end, a two-story octagonal pavilion with double eaves and glazed tile roof. Located on the north side of Qingdao Bay, it faces Xiaoqingdao Island across the water, where waves crash against the rocks, making it ideal for beachcombing. It is also adjacent to the First Bathing Beach. Across the bay is the century-old Zhongshan Road pedestrian street, featuring many colonial-era buildings.
