As one of Qingdao's most iconic landmarks, Zhaoqiao Pier was originally built as a wharf in 1891. It was expanded and repaired in 1931 and 1985, and today, it stands as a popular attraction for tourists. Stretching 440 metres long and 10 metres wide, the pier is supported by massive granite columns, with a standout feature being the two-storey Huilan Pagoda, a distinctive Chinese-style structure symbolising 'The Return of Waves'. Alongside the pier is Pier Park, a peaceful spot where visitors can unwind and enjoy views of the ocean and surrounding area.

Just next to Lu Xun Park, you'll find Qingdao Underwater World, also known as the Marine Products Museum. Covering 7,300 square metres, this aquatic wonderland houses an impressive 4,000 tonnes of water and showcases a diverse range of marine life. It's the kind of place where you can explore everything from colourful fish to fascinating sea creatures, all under one roof.

The Tärendö River stands as the second largest bifurcation in the world, stretching over 52 km with a significant vertical drop of 35 metres. Known for its impressive nine rapids, this river system showcases the natural beauty and dynamic water features that contribute to the unique landscape of the region.

Hunting is a big part of the culture and traditions here in the north, and it has been ever since the first inhabitants settled in the area.
