Write: Lari [2011-05-23]
Badaguan is a must-see for visitors to Qingdao. It s one of the best places to take in Qingdao s best features: red tiles, green trees, blue sea and sky. Here, the parks and the courtyards blend into one another along intersecting roads ornamented with a variety of trees and seasonal flowers.
The name Badaguan refers to eight roads named after eight famous passes in China. Those roads, Shaoguan Road, Jiayuguan Road, Hanguguan Road, Zhengyangguan Road, Linhuaiguan Road, Niwuguan Road, Zijinguan Road and Juyongguan Road, crisscross to form a large scenic part of the city. Badaguan features the architectural styles of more than twenty countries and regions, a fact which has led people to refer to the area as a world architectural exhibition. Visitors can admire Russian, English, French, German, American, Japanese and Danish buildings.
