On the southern coast of Qingdao, there is an area full of exotic charm - Badaguan. Initially, it got its name from eight roads criss - crossing each other, named after the passes of the Great Wall. Later, the number of roads increased to ten, but the name "Badaguan" has been still in use.
Badaguan features a wide variety of architectural styles, incorporating the architectural styles of more than 20 countries, including Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the United States, Denmark, Greece, Spain, Switzerland, and Japan. There is the uniquely - shaped Princess House, which exudes the flavor of Nordic fairy tales. The Flower - Stone House integrates Greek and Roman styles with Gothic elements. Celebrities such as Chiang Kai - shek and Chen Yi once stayed here. These buildings are either hidden among the thick green trees or scattered between the mountains and the sea, complementing the surrounding natural landscape.
In addition to the buildings with different styles, the scenery of Badaguan is breathtaking in all four seasons. In spring, the peach blossoms on Shaoguan Road and the Chinese flowering crabapples on Ningwuguan Road bloom competitively, presenting a magnificent display of flowers. In autumn, the ginkgo trees on Juyongguan Road turn golden, and the five - pointed maples on Jiayuguan Road are colorful, just like an oil painting. Strolling through it, you can not only admire the unique architectural features but also experience the changing seasons of nature. Whether it's a romantic walk for couples or a family outing, Badaguan is an excellent place to experience the charm of Qingdao.
