Step back in time as we explore the incredible history of ZhanQiao Pier (栈桥) in Qingdao, a masterpiece originally crafted by the Germans in 1891. This pier, the first man-made wharf in Qingdao, was initially constructed for the Qing Dynasty Army in 1892, spanning 200 meters long and 10 meters wide with a sturdy stone foundation and lime pavement.
Undergoing transformations throughout the years, particularly after the German invasion, the pier evolved into a crucial hub for freight transportation. In May of 1901, it was extended to 350 meters, complete with a light rail for seamless transportation. Fast forward to September 1931, authorities initiated another expansion, further extending the pier to 440 meters and elevating it by 0.5 meters. A semicircular breakwater was added to the southern end, adorned with a national-styled double-story octagonal pavilion named Huilange Pavilion.
This iconic pier has stood the test of time, becoming a renowned scenic spot and an exemplary display of traditional architecture. Since the Liberation, the people's Government has consistently invested in its maintenance. In November 1984, the southern part underwent reconstruction, featuring observation platforms and stone entrance stairs. A subsequent reconstruction in October 1998 ensured the pier's continued resilience.
The bridge and Huilange Pavilion were fortified to withstand severe storms occurring every 50 and 100 years, respectively. The northern part underwent demolition and reconstruction, with both side walls inlaid with mushroom rocks and the floor paved with granite plates. Maintaining its original style, the pier exudes even more grandeur.
Join me as we delve into the layers of history and architectural splendor at ZhanQiao Pier and the Trestle Bridge in Qingdao. From German influences to modern-day resilience, this vlog promises a captivating journey through time and culture.
