Badaguan

Badaguan

The scenic area that best captures Qingdao's character of "red roofs, green trees, blue sea and blue sky." It is called "Badaguan" (Eight Great Passes) because it originally had 8 roads (now 10) named after eight mountain passes, such as Shaoguan Road, Jiayuguan Road and Hanguguan Road. These ten roads cross each other to form a scenic area several square li across. The buildings here draw on the architectural styles of more than 20 European and American countries, earning it the nickname "Exhibition of Architecture from Around the World."
