Must-see Western-style buildings in Qingdao

The ultimate landmark is here! ⛪️ They say Qingdao has three treasures: beer 🍺, seafood 🦞, and St. Michael's Cathedral! 📍Check-in Location: 15 Zhejiang Road, Shinan District (center of Qingdao's Old Town!) ⏰Year of Construction: 1934 (older than my grandma!) 📸Photo Tip: Come on a sunny day! The red tiles and yellow walls against the blue sky will create stunning photos in no time! [Architectural Secrets] ✨A Gothic + Romanesque hybrid ✨The 60-meter twin towers are stunning (they were the tallest buildings in Qingdao at the time!) ✨The rainbow glass windows are breathtaking (the sunlight streaming in is absolutely stunning) 💰Ticket Information: Adults: 10 yuan (affordable!) Students: Half price (remember to bring ID) [Surrounding Activities] 🚶5-minute walk to the Governor's Palace 🚶10-minute walk to Christ Church 🍺After the tour, head straight to the Beer Museum. 📌Fun Facts: 1️⃣Construction was halted due to war (and almost fell through!) 2️⃣The original plan was to build it 100 meters high (but unfortunately, they ran out of money 😭) 3️⃣The sound of the bell can be heard for kilometers (old Qingdao people call it the "Clock Tower"). 💡Visiting Tips: Come between 4 and 6 pm! The lighting is so gentle, perfect for taking photos! There are so many people taking wedding photos in the square, it's great to stand nearby and enjoy the atmosphere!
