Qingdao Tour of Xiaoyushan
Park
|
|
Standing facing the sea, the Xiaoyushan Park adds charm
to the beautiful Huiquan Bay. Characterized by sea scenery, the
unique park is a classical garden-style construction combining the
natural beauty, architectural techniques and artistic skills.
Located at the junction of Yushan Road and Fushan Road, the park is
built on the top of the Little Fish Hill. Relying on the geological
advantage, the park commands an excellent view of
Qingdao City
although the hill is only 60 meters (197 feet) high.
Inside the park, a pathway with various flowers and
plants growing on both sides leads the way to the top of the hill.
Along the hill, there is a hexagonal pavilion with green glazed
tiles, Bibo Pavilion, providing a general view of the benign and
smiling Huiquan Bay. To its east lies the main building of the park,
Lanchao (Watching Tide) Pavilion. The three-storey octagonal Lanchao
Pavilion with surrounding barriers has spiral staircases. Walking
along the stairway, tourists can appreciate the Number One Bathing
Beach, Huiquan Bay, Small Qingdao Island, Zhan Bridge, Lu Xun Park
and other spectacular sights. This pavilion is considered to be the
best place to have a panoramic view of the city and the seashore.
There is a square Yongcui Pavilion lying to the east of the Lanchao
Pavilion and it faces a vast maple woodland.
Along the zigzag corridor which connects the Lanchao
and Yongcui Pavilions, there is a white alabaster mountain landmark
with engraved embossment. The design of the landmark is rather
extraordinary since it takes the shape of the hill and is carved
into the hieroglyphs of fish. Three delicate frescoes are painted
along the corridors; the simple paintings, lifelike figures and
profound artistic conception contribute to the cultural atmosphere
of the park.
The miniature landscape of Qingdao's reputed buildings
has been set up in the park, and it contains the Governor-General
Office, Qingdao Railway Station and the Catholic Church which are
reproduced in detailed proportion enabling tourists to view all the
prominent buildings of the city in one site.
