## About Zhanqiao Pier

Zhanqiao Pier was already a wharf in the Qing dynasty. Viewed from above, it looks like an arm of the mainland reaching out into the sea. Strolling along the pier, visitors can see that Qingdao's coastline is shaped like a crescent moon, with the pier stretching out like a rainbow lying on the water.
