Little Qingdao

Small Qingdao is also called "Qindao" because of the sound of Qinse when the waves touch the shore. From the trestle back to the Lantau Pavilion, you can see a beautiful picture of little Qingdao, with steep rocks, lush trees, red reefs, blue waves, green trees and white pagodas.

There stands a white tower on the island, which is the flag of ship sailing. Lilies bloom all over the island. At night, the shadow of the island is hazy, and the beacon lights on the tower are bright and dark. On the flat square in the south of the island, the "qinnu" with Guqin in her hand stares at the sea under the bright moonlight.

Little Qingdao

Little Qingdao, Qingdao, after the German occupation of jiaoao, the occupied area was named "Qingdao", which was named after this island. This isolated island in the sea is called "akna island" by the German people, and it is garrisoned. After the Japanese occupation of Qingdao, it is called "Kato island", and the local residents are used to call it "little Qingdao". Small Qingdao covers an area of only 0.024 square kilometers, with an altitude of 17 meters. Because its shape is like a guqin, it is also known as "Qindao". The island is more than 370 meters away from the east coast, with a long seawall connecting with the land. The island was originally a part of the land. It gradually separated from the land under the erosion and carving of the waves over the years, and became the shape of today.

Historical evolution

In the early 1940s, a breakwater was built in the east to connect with the land. Later, it was regarded as qin island. In 1898, after renting Jiaozhou, Germany built a lighthouse on the island. After liberation, the island has been used by the Chinese Navy's speedboat detachment, and the lighthouse has been built on a large scale. The tower is 15.5 meters high, white and octagonal. It is an important sign for domestic and foreign ships to enter and leave Jiaozhou Bay. When night falls, the red light on the tower and the light on the trestle float on the blue waves, forming a wonderful picture. Therefore, "Qinyu floating light" is known as one of the top ten landscapes in Qingdao and one of the symbols of Qingdao.

In 1988, little Qingdao was opened as a park and officially opened to the outside world. On the basis of planting Pinus thunbergii, the island is also planted with cherry blossom, peach, pomegranate, Hibiscus syriacus, Lagerstroemia indica and other ornamental plants that bloom in spring, summer and autumn. In the south of the island, where the terrain is relatively flat, there is a very small square. In the middle of the square, there is a sculpture of "qinnu" holding Guqin in hand and looking at the sea.

Introduction to scenic spots

survey

The most prominent view of little Qingdao is a white cone-shaped lighthouse standing at the top, which is an important navigation mark for passing ships to enter and leave Jiaozhou Bay. The lighthouse was built by the German in 1900 and opened in 1915. After liberation, it was built on a large scale. The tower is 15.5 meters tall and octagonal. The whole body is made of white marble. It is divided into upper and lower layers. The top of the tower is equipped with a mirror made of crystal prism, and the mirror is made of cow's eye shaped rotating mirror. It has a range of 12 nautical miles and navigates ships. Whenever the night falls, the lights form a Qingdao scenery - "floating lights on Qinyu island".

On the north side of little Qingdao, a breakwater has been built, which has become a berth for yachts on the sea. The eastern part is adjacent to Lu Xun Park. Visitors can visit the island by Qinyu Road on the west side of Lu Xun Park. There used to be many rare yellow lilies on the island. When they were in full bloom, they were fragrant and very gratifying. They are a well-known flower type in the international botanical world. The German people call them "Qingdao lilies". Unfortunately, due to the increasing number of tourists, there is no place to look for them now. As early as the early 1930s, little Qingdao has been turned into a park, with teahouses, flower beds, stone benches, stone chairs, roads and yacht docks. After Japan occupied Qingdao for the second time, it became a Japanese military base. In 1942, it built a dam 377 meters long and 8 meters wide to connect with the land and became a land island. From the victory of the Anti Japanese War to the liberation, it was garrisoned by troops. In the summer of 1988, little Qingdao was once again turned into a park. After re planning and construction, it became another tourist attraction in Qianhai.

lighthouse

The little Qingdao lighthouse is located on the little Qingdao in the Qingdao Bay at the mouth of Jiaozhou Bay. The lighthouse was built in 1890 and opened in 1915. The lighthouse is octagonal in shape. It is made of white marble and has two floors. It is an important navigation aid sign for ships entering and leaving Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao Bay. Location: 36 ° 03 ′. 2n, 120 ° 19 ′. 1E, tower height: 12M, lamp height: 28m.

Because the small Qingdao looks like a piano, and because the waves caress the shore, there is the sound of zither, so it is called Qindao. Zheng Zhenduo, a famous writer, said that the beauty of the scene of "floating lights on Qinyu island" lies in: "the red lights on the sea are bright and dark, just like riding a boat on the sea."

The little Qingdao lighthouse is located at the highest point of little Qingdao in Qingdao Bay. It was built by the German in the 26th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1900). It is an important navigation mark for ships going in and out of Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao Bay.

After liberation, the city authorities carried out a large-scale construction of the lighthouse, increased the height of the tower. The total height of the building is 18 meters. The whole lighthouse is shaped like a pagoda with a base and six steps to the first floor. The gate of the lighthouse faces north and the gate of granite. The base and the second floor are octagonal, with granite bars. The third layer is cylindrical, with steel plate tip and rivet connection. There are 30 stone spiral stairs in the tower. Under the tower, there is an attached building, which is a stone gate with a construction area of 20 square meters. The little Qingdao lighthouse is now in good condition and is used by the navigation mark office of Qingdao Maritime Supervision Bureau, Ministry of communications.

Qin girl

It is said that a long time ago, a fairy who played the piano fell in love with a young man who was fishing. She quietly came to the world and married a young man. Whenever her husband went out to sea, she would sit on the island and play the piano to guide her lover. After the Jade Emperor learned that, he wanted to catch qinnv and go back. Qinnv was devoted to her love until she died. She played favoritism on the island. The sound of qinnv still lingers around the island. The ancient fairy tales are so sad and beautiful that they have moved generations of artists. In commemoration of qinnv, they have made qinnv sculptures with smooth lines and vivid images. In 2002, the miniature version of "qinnv", which is based on the sculpture of qinnv, was designated as the symbol of Qingdao by Qingdao municipal government and presented as a gift to friends at home and abroad. Today's little Qingdao is full of black pines, flowers and trees, and yellow lilies blooming on high cliffs are very rare. In the early 20th century, it was named "Qingdao Lily" by the world botanical Association.
