Kiautschou

Nestled along the eastern coast of China lies Qingdao, a city shaped by its German colonial past, once known as Tsingtao or Kiautschou.

Under German rule from 1897 to 1914, Qingdao underwent a transformative period marked by infrastructure development, cultural exchange, and economic growth. The Germans left an indelible imprint on the cityscape, evident in its architecture, cuisine, and societal norms.
