For a long time, the German Empire was looking for a stronghold on the Chinese coast. In 1897, the assassination of two German missionaries in Shandong Province finally created a suitable pretext for seizing the coveted Jiazhou Bay and forcing China to lease it to Germany for 99 years. With the founding of the city of Qingdao in 1898, at the eastern exit of the bay, a rapidly growing exemplary German settlement arose - at that time, perhaps, the most modern city on the Far East. in German Qingdao (Qingdao) at that time they wrote "Tsingtau". But "99 years" expired already in 1914, when the city was occupied by the Japanese. Contrary to the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, according to which the city was assigned to Japan, in 1919 the great patriotic Movement of May 4 arose. In 1922 the entire region was returned to China. However, to this day the city has retained the character of the Wilhelmian Empire, which is reflected in the local architectural style. Pay attention, for example, to the numerous imitations of half-timbered houses and mansard roofs.

Port of Dongjiakou
Dongjiakou (35°34" latitude, 119°48" longitude) is a new port built on the eastern side of the Dongjiakou peninsula in a drained area about 46 miles from Qingdao.
The port plans to process a large number of bulk cargo, liquid chemicals, general cargo, coal and ore. In the future, it is planned to open terminals for receiving containers and liquefied natural gas.
The port runs from the southeast along a new buoyed fairway, approximately 7.7 miles long and 390 meters wide, with a 23.2-meter depth after dredging.
The new channel for LNG carriers has been deepened away from the main channel and is approximately 0.74 miles long and 345 meters wide, with a design depth of 14.7 meters.
The fairway for tankers for the transportation of liquefied natural gas occupies the following positions:
- 35°33"12""latitude, 119°45"21""longitude
- 35°33"16""latitude, 119°45"34""longitude
- 35°33"58""latitude, 119°45"17""longitude
- 35°33"52""latitude, 119°45"05""longitude
From Cape Dongjiakou at 5°34"56.8""latitude, 119°45"46.2"" longitude, a breakwater 1.05 miles long was built, which runs south to the point 35°34"26.4""latitude, 119°45" 46.3"" longitude, and then turns southwest to the point 35°33"57.7""latitude, 119°45"40.3""longitude.
Although it is planned to build 112 berths, currently (2014) the port has several operating berths and one terminal for receiving liquefied natural gas.
The port's berths include an import ore berth on the east side of the pier, 520 meters long and 25 meters deep, which can accommodate ships of 400,000 dwt.
Another berth to receive ore from the same type of vessels is planned to be built on the other side of the pier.
The existing universal berth is 372 meters long and 19.2 meters deep and is able to accommodate ships with a displacement of 50,000 DWT.
The terminal for receiving liquefied natural gas (Berth No. 1) is located on the eastern side of the breakwater. This pier is connected to the mainland by a bridge 852 meters long. Berth 1 is 485 meters long and 110 meters wide, with an estimated depth of 14.7 meters. Under the current conditions, liquefied gas carriers with a displacement of 210,000 cubic meters or more cannot be accepted at this berth until the construction is fully completed.
