Introduction to Little Qingdao: The small island opposite Huilan Pavilion is Little Qingdao. Little Qingdao is located in Qingdao Bay on the north side of the estuary of Jiaozhou Bay, with beautiful scenery. Its altitude is only 17.2 meters and its area is only 0.012 square kilometers. The island is as small as a snail, with steep rocks and lush trees, hence its name Little Qingdao. The "Lingshan Wei Zhi" written in the 16th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1751) contains: "Little Qingdao is on the opposite bank of Huaizikou, and it is the only way for those who enter the sea." Because the island is shaped like a guqin, the water is like a string, and the wind blows the sound like a guqin, it is also called "Qin Island". When Germany occupied Qingdao, it named the small Qingdao "Akna Island". After Japan occupied Qingdao instead of Germany in 1914, it changed the island's name to "Kato Island". After the return of Qingdao, the Jiaoao Governor's Office named it Little Qingdao and opened it as "Little Qingdao Park" in the early 1930s. It was equipped with teahouses, flower gardens, stone benches, stone chairs, roads, and yachts. Visitors can take a boat to the pier. After Japan invaded Qingdao for the second time, it became a Japanese military garrison and has been used for military purposes ever since.
