Morning: Upon arrival in Qingdao, head to the former Governor’s Residence, built in 1905. This masterpiece of German architecture features yellow walls, red-tiled sloping roofs, and Baroque-style pillars. Inside, restored rooms and century-old pianos, silverware, and wallpaper patterns bring colonial-era luxury vividly to life.
Afternoon: Visit Badaguan, known as an “Exposition of World Architecture.” Over 300 villas here represent styles from Germany, Russia, the U.S., and beyond. Stroll down tree-lined paths, where fallen leaves carpet the ground. Don’t miss Huashi Villa, blending Gothic, Roman, and Greek styles, or the fairytale-like Princess House.
Evening: Dine nearby and enjoy local specialties like mackerel dumplings and spicy stir-fried clams. After dinner, take a peaceful walk through the softly lit streets of Badaguan, where the romantic ambiance deepens under the glow of night.
