Zhongshan Road
Formerly the site of the Qingdao International Club, No. 1 Zhongshan Road, has always been a social gathering place for the upper class. It is now a German restaurant, serving authentic German cuisine. Dining in such a place, I believe the ambiance is definitely better than the taste.
St. Michael's Cathedral
The interior of the Catholic church has been renovated and reopened. It is worth a visit as it houses the only two pipe organs in Asia at that time. According to the staff, there are performances every afternoon, but unfortunately, when I went, the performers were all on a business trip, so I didn't get to hear its wonderful melodies.
Anna Princess Villa former site
The newly repaired Anna Princess Villa at the beginning of this year, I don't know what stories the old building has. Just repaired, not an ordinary new house. Visit the Catholic Church and walk down Zhejiang Road to Hubei Road, a very common street. If I remember correctly, there are a few seafood sellers where you can pass by and see the rich variety of seafood in Qingdao.
Paper has its own realm
If you are lucky enough to come across "Zhiyoujingjie" bookstore on Hubei Road, you can go in for a visit. It is more like a private study room open to the public rather than an independent bookstore. The owner is courteous and the whole place has a strong literary vibe. With a library at hand and the fragrance of incense, what else can we ask for in life?
The Jam Museum of Art opened at the end of 13. The so-called "not checking the imperial calendar, not following rituals, not hanging flags, not setting off firecrackers, not inviting leaders, not inviting experts, not conducting interviews, not sending invitations, not accepting flower baskets, not charging admission fees," the Colorful Qingdao Pavilion is themed around Colorful Qingdao, with various paintings related to it. I don't understand art, but I can understand a little bit about the city I am familiar with. The gallery is located in a delicate little house. There is also a café there. You can take a break there if you're tired from walking. The staff are very enthusiastic and friendly. Highly recommended!
Guangxi Road
After leaving the Yamu Art Gallery, I arrived at another main street in the old town area of Qingdao, namely Prince Henry Street - Guangxi Road. I don't know why, but I am very interested in the earliest German name of this road. Over the past century, there have been many changes on Prince Harry Street, and many of the original buildings have been replaced, such as the Duke's Hotel, pharmacy, hair salon, and the former address of the German Post Office.
