Zhanqiao Pier, Qingdao’s first pier, was built in 1891 and extends 1,444 feet (440 meters) into Qingdao Bay. At its end stands the octagonal Huilan Pavilion, a structure that has become iconic as part of the Tsingtao beer logo. The pier offers expansive views of the sea, making it a popular spot for visitors. Today, guests can stroll along the wooden planks, taking in the sights and sounds of the bay, and enjoy the historical and cultural significance of this landmark.
