[1812 Overture]

Not updated regularly, everyone is welcome to add photos, thank you very much

Bismarck Fort, now Qingdao Hill

Photo just taken today

 

 

Unfortunately, it was closed for several years and it is said that in order to better display

At present, only this replica of the artillery is left.

Due to the closure of the project, I was able to show the floor plan to everyone outside

Seeing that there are people like it, I feel relieved and have the motivation to continue to update!

Here is the back of China Ocean University, Germany's Bismarck Barracks is at the foot of the mountain, there are traces of the barracks during the Qing Dynasty. The distant red sphere of the mountain is the famous Signal Hill.

The castle-like house on the right side of the picture is the weather station of the German Navy. It is now occupied by the army and cannot be freely entered.

Here is the park now, so he was destroyed

 

[1812 Overture]

Oh! scared me

In the distance is the largest Catholic church in Qingdao. Later, I will introduce him. He appeared after 1930 and was designed by Germans.

There is an art school at the foot of the mountain，SO. . .

This building was originally used by Germans to observe fires, but with the construction of the city, he withdrew from the stage of history.

At the foot of the governor’s office in Germany, I’ll introduce him later.

[1812 Overture]

The school was closed on the day I went to school. I didn't open the door. I was really happy. A hundred years later, he was still a school. He was not destroyed, but he was burned in 1947.

Thank you for these additional precious images!  The buildings appear to be in near original condition!!

This is the Qingdao River. The German Governor of a century ago liked to drive boats with children here, but now it is a stinking ditch.

German police station a hundred years ago

 

A hundred years later it was a police station and it was not open to the public

A comparison of the German field hospital over a hundred years ago. Now it is the best hospital in Qingdao.

Of course, its area is now many times larger than before!

[1812 Overture]

在这里我想起一句诗词；“花有重开日，人无再少年”The English meaning of this sentence is: the flowers will be reopened, but people will not be young

I explain here that there are photos I just took just a few days ago. Some of them are not

It used to be a German barber shop.

 

This is the same as before, but it is now a postal museum

 

Although the direction is different, he is the same place

Above are some items from the Postal Museum

 

[1812 Overture]

The roof of the museum is a bookstore and coffee shop. It's more fun!

[1812 Overture]
