Zhanqiao Pier, built in 1892, with its Chinese-style “Huilan Pavilion” at the tip, has become a classic landmark of Qingdao. After Germany leased Qingdao, they constructed numerous German-style buildings with red roofs and yellow walls, giving the city its distinctive “red rooftops, green trees, blue seas, and clear skies” landscape.
