Trestle is the symbol of Qingdao. Located in the middle of Qingdao Bay, it is in a straight line with the most prosperous Zhongshan Road in the city, extending from the coast to the seaside, and is known as "Changhong is far away". The trestle bridge was built in the 18th year of Guangxu (A.D. 1892) and is the earliest pier in Qingdao. After 193 1 transformation and 1985 transformation, it is now 8 meters wide and 440 meters long.
At the southern end of the bridge, a semi-circular breakwater was built. There is a two-story octagonal pavilion with national style in the breakwater, with a golden tile wall and a helmet-top cornice, and the title is "Huilan Pavilion". The trestle is like a long dragon, lying across the blue sea and silver waves. Step by step along the bridge, as if walking into the embrace of the sea; Standing beside the pavilion, layers of waves surged in, flapping the dam and hitting thousands of broken jade; ?
Entering the pavilion, climbing the stairs along the spiral staircase, surrounded by spacious big windows, is also a pleasant scenery, so "Flying the pavilion back to Lan" is known as one of the "Ten Scenes of Qingdao".

189 1 year, Li Hongzhang, governor of Zhili and minister of Beiyang, accompanied by Zhang Yao, governor of Shandong Province, inspected Jiaoao at that time. After returning to Beijing, he decisively proposed to the Qing court that he should fortify the area around Qingdao.
1892, the Qing government sent Gaoyuan Zhang, the governor of Dengzhou, to station four battalions of officers and men in Qingdao. In order to facilitate the transportation of military materials, two wharves were built, one of which was a trestle, which was completed on 1893, with a length of 200m and a width of10m. The stone foundation is gray, and iron guardrails are installed on both sides of the bridge deck.
190 1 May, the northern end of the original bridge was changed to stone foundation, cement pavement, iron guardrail was changed to iron rope guardrail, the southern end of the steel bridge was paved with planks, and light rail was built to extend the bridge to 350 meters, which was still a military wharf. 1901117 October, Xiaogang Wharf was completed, and all transportation materials were borne by Xiaogang Wharf, and the transportation function of trestle gradually weakened.
1904 After the completion of Terminal 1 in Dagang, the trestle gradually lost its historical mission as a wharf and began to open to tourists. 1905 or so, commercial cargo transportation moved to Qingdao Dagang, and the trestle became a special wharf for ship quarantine and water diversion.
1931September, the relevant departments of Qingdao invested 258,000 yuan, and the extension was contracted by German Xinli Foreign Firm, and the bridge was extended to 440 meters. The original steel-wood structure of the bridge was transformed into reinforced concrete, 34 rows of piles were transparent, the bridge deck was paved with cement, and the height of the bridge deck was increased by 0.5 meters.

The transparent part at the southern end of the bridge was demolished and rebuilt, from 34 rows of piles to 16 rows of piles, and a new 1 observation platform was built. At the same time, six stone pillars at the entrance of the bridge were removed, and both sides were surrounded by iron rope guardrails. 12 pairs of European bridge lights stood side by side, and the outside was covered with granite.
