Originally built in 1891 as a naval pier, Zhanqiao Bridge is 440-meter long and 10-meter wide with giant granite supports. Lotus-shaped lamps provide illumination and decoration. At the south end of the bridge is a Chinese style octagon pavilion standing in contrast to European buildings in the background. Qingdao Bay is crescent shaped; like an arrow, the bridge shoots into the broad sea. Standing afar, a white lighthouse braves the waves and wind, while the Small Green Island is a serene platform for exuberant trees. Dynamic and static scenes meld.
The Zhanqiao Bridge is the symbol of Qingdao city.
