The former site of the German Governor's Residence was initially built in 1905 and completed in 1907. It was designed by the famous German architect, Lacharowitz.
As the highest representative of "German architectural art in China", it still ranks among the top of single buildings in China with its luxurious decoration and elegant shape.
It has successively received many well-known figures from both at home and abroad, building a bridge for the communication of cultural relations between China and foreign countries. It is a classic symbol of Qingdao, a famous historical and cultural city.
