信号山公园
信号山公园海拔九十八米,原名“大石头山”,一八九八年德军曾于山顶建航海信号旗台,故名“信号山”。一九八六年被辟为青岛市十大山头公园之一,三个红色圆顶蘑菇造型的建筑寓意古代传递信号的火炬。登高远眺,可尽览海上风光。
Xinhaoshan Park
The park is 98 meters above sea level. It was originally named “Big Stone Hill” and later renamed “Xinhaoshan Hill” (Signal Hill) because the German troops had built a navigation signal platform on the top of the hill in 1898. In 1986, it was rebuilt into one of Qingdao’s Ten Hill Parks and opened to the public the following year. The three red mushroom-shaped domes symbolize the torches used to send signals in ancient times. Visitors may enjoy a breath-taking view from atop the hill.
公主楼
Princess House
It is said that the building was constructed for the Danish Princess by the Denmark Consul General in Qingdao, hence the name Princess House. It was built in the mid-1930s with a total area of more than 700m2. The main building is of a typical European Gothic style. In 1992, it was listed as an important relic site under the protection of the Shandong Provincial Government.

As an important site of historical interest under the protection of the provincial government, the temple is not only a famous cultural relic that integrates the Tianhou culture, marine culture and folk culture, but also is a giant complex of the ancient buildings in the national style located on the coast of Qingdao. With a history of more than 500 years, it is a vivid miniature of the development of Qingdao.
With a floor space of 1,500 square meters, the temple has two courtyards and 16 worship halls including the Hall of Tianhou, the Hall of Dragon King and the Hall of Officials’ Treasures with the statues of Tianhou, Dragon King, Literary & Martial Gods of Wealth, etc. The other halls are open to the public all year round. They are used for the exhibition of Tianhou culture, folk handicrafts and folk custom held by the Folk Custom Museum.
Tianhou Temple is a famous cultural and tourist attraction in downtown Qingdao and also an important base for research on the folk custom of Qingdao.
