| Reflections of Europe Once a small fishing village, Qingdao (formerly Tsingtao) became a German enclave at the turn of the century. A deep-water harbour, cathedrals, mansions, fir-lined avenues, even a castle that later housed royalty and heads of state are enduring testimony to the city's European legacy. Today, as the largest industrial city in Shandong province and one of 14 coastal cities designated for special economic privileges, Qingdao attracts travelers from all over the world. Many find the Huiquan Dynasty Hotel ideally situated for both business and pleasure. |
