This is very convenient, since the port is equipped with the largest grain and oil storage facilities in the country, and there are also first-class coal terminals on the port territory.
The port infrastructure is at the highest level, and all facilities are made according to last word technology, it is not for nothing that it is on the list of the five main ports of China. It is the connecting component between the continental part of the country and the whole world.
Components of Qingdao Port and their features
The Port of Qingdao consists of three major divisions, namely:
- oil port;
- new port;
- old port.
Surface ships and submarines are also based on the port territory. From the sea, Qingdao port is surrounded by three dams with a total length of more than 1 km. The width of the entrance to the port is 260 m, the depth is 12 m, which makes it possible for ships with a carrying capacity of up to 30 thousand tons to enter the port.

Qingdao Port situated on south coast Shandong Peninsula, occupies a central place among the ports of China between the Yangtze River Delta and the Bohai Bay, washed by the waters of the Yellow Sea.
The bulk of Qingdao's port facilities are concentrated in the southern and southeastern parts of Jiaozhou Bay, which is connected to the Yellow Sea through a small strait. A little more than 3 km wide.
From the strait, Jiaozhou Bay increases sharply, having a length of more than 20 km at its maximum boundaries.
Jiaozhou Bay is fed by over 13 rivers flowing into it, the largest of which is Dagu, 179 km long.
The strait connecting Jiaozhou Bay with the Yellow Sea conventionally distinguishes two harbors in the port of Qingdao: the internal one, where the main infrastructure is concentrated, and the external one.
The conventional line separating the inner and outer harbor runs from Cape Tuandao Zui (36°02"39"" latitude, 120°16"55" longitude) to Cape Kuiong Shan (36°00"58" "latitude, 120°17"11” longitude). The Inner Harbor is located west of this line.
The port of Qingdao has three port complexes: Da Gang Port, Qianwan New Port and Huangdao (Oil) Terminal.
Approximately 46 miles from the port of Qingdao, the port of Dongjiakou is administratively subordinate to the port of Qingdao.
Port Dagan
Port Dagan is an old port located in the southeastern part of Jiaozhou Bay (western part of Qingdao).
The territory of the Dagan port complex includes the waters of three adjacent bays known as Da Gang, i.e. Big Bay, Zhong Gang, i.e. Middle Bay and Xiao Gang, i.e. Small Bay.
Zhong Gang and Xiao Gang bays are used only by coastal and local vessels. Zhong Gang Bay is also protected by a floating jetty on one side and the jetty that forms Terminal No. 6 at Dagang Port on the other side. The Chinese Navy is located in the northwestern part of the Dagang port complex.
The port of Dagan mainly handles the transshipment of steel, aluminum oxide, bauxite, fertilizers, metal ore, coal, and grain.
From the port of Dagan goes Railway in Jinan. Expressways connect Dagang Port with Jiqing, Yanqing, and Jiaozhou.
The port equipment includes container gantry cranes, cranes that ensure the movement of cargo in the port, forklifts, cargo packaging equipment, and tow trucks. There is a floating crane with a lifting capacity of 320 tons.
Dagan Port has one of the best grain reception and processing technologies in the world, which includes a modern ventilation system, the use of computer technology, the use of steel grain silos, as well as the provision of fumigation services, grain packaging in bags and loading onto vehicles.
Control over the unloading of grain from the vessel is carried out using a computer system, which can take into account the transshipment of up to 1200 tons of grain per hour.
The steel grain silo holds 100,000 tons of cargo.
The port of Qingdao has 16 automatic grain packaging machines, each processing 50 tons per hour.
Grain ranks fifth in Qingdao port's cargo handling after containers, coal, oil and mineral ores.

For a long time, the German Empire was looking for a stronghold on the Chinese coast. In 1897, the murder of two German missionaries in Shandong finally provided the perfect pretext to seize the coveted Jiazhou Bay and force China to lease it to Germany for 99 years. With the founding of the city of Qingdao in 1898, a rapidly growing exemplary German settlement arose at the eastern exit of the bay - at that time, perhaps the most modern city on Far East. In German Qingdao (Qingdao) At that time they wrote “Tsingtau”. But the “99 years” expired 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 May 4th Movement arose. In 1922, the entire region was returned to China. However, to this day the city has retained its Williamite character, which is reflected in the local architectural style. Pay attention, for example, to the numerous imitations of half-timbering and mansard roofs.
Old city
Mooring pier
The main object of interest to all visitors protrudes into the sea from the Old Town embankment at 440 m: the Qingdao pier. At its end there is a Chinese-style pavilion. The first mooring pier was built in 1891; and the building acquired its current size in 1931.
Sun Yat-sen street
The main shopping street of the Old Town was called Friedrichstrasse until 1914 (Friedrichstrasse, this is the name of one of the central streets in Berlin). Here you can still find several old buildings, including the Sailor's House (1902) at the corner of Hubei Lu.
Railway station
If you make a detour to the west, you will find yourself at the station. Although it was rebuilt in the 1990s, it still features the façade and tower of a German train station built in 1900-1901.
St. Michael's Cathedral
If you walk north along Sun Yat-sen Street, you will soon see a neo-romantic Catholic church with two 54-meter towers on the right. The architect was German; According to his design, the cathedral was built in 1931-1934.
Church of Christ
To the southeast of St. Michael's Cathedral stands the Protestant Church of Christ, built in 1908-1910. in a typical German Jugend style (modern style). On the dial of the tower clock it is written: “Bokenem an der Harz”.
Sea embankment
The former Kaiser Wilhelm embankment extends from the pier to the east. Many old buildings remain, including a hotel and the former building of the German Asiatic Bank (Qingdao Lu corner). A block further east stands the newly restored Tianhou Temple.
Governor's Residence
The most remarkable of the German buildings is located on the slope of Signal Hill. It was erected in 1905-1907. in a nostalgic rustic style with some Art Nouveau elements. Architecturally, the building is distinguished by bay windows, fireplaces, pediments, loggias and ornaments that look interesting from any perspective. But the most beautiful thing is the interior design, which is almost completely preserved and in good condition. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the residence was used as a state hotel. In particular, Mao Zedong also visited here. Longshan Lu 26. Opening hours: daily. 8.30-17.00.
Beaches of Qingdao
From the Old Town to the east you can get to the beaches, which are separated from each other by strips of land protruding into the sea. The best is Beach No. 2. Here the green cottage area of Badaguan goes inland. From beach N° 3 you can see a forest of skyscrapers in the area of new buildings - and here the number is truly impressive Chinese tourists swimming after dark.
Laoshan
The main destination of out-of-town excursions for Qingdao residents rises 40 km east of the city, almost straight out of the sea. This region is famous throughout the country for its mineral water (Laoshanshui); The Qingdao brewery, founded by the Germans in 1903, also receives water from here. Taoist monasteries have been located on Mount Laoshan for about 1000 years. They are another reason to come here.
Taiqinggong Monastery
The Palace of Supreme Purity stands at the southeastern foot of Laoshan, from here there is a beautiful view of the sea. The monastery was founded in the Song era, the current complex was built in the Wanli era (1573-1620) . On the walls of the Hall of the Three Emperors (Sanhuaidian) inscriptions of Kublai Khan and Genghis Khan remain.
Shangqinggong Monastery
The palace of great purity is located higher up the slope and is therefore also called the Upper Monastery. Having emerged during the Yuan era in 1297-1307, it subsequently expanded many times. In front of the monastery there are several centuries-old gingko trees. To the south of the temple a waterfall falls from a height of 20 m.
Summit area, hiking
From monasteries to cable car you can climb to the top. It lies at an altitude of 1133 m, and many walking paths lead to it. Anyone who wants to stay here for a short time usually climbs to the southern flank, from where you can look out to the sea. However, worthwhile goals for others hiking for the most part located in the north, including several caves, steep cliffs and other monasteries. There are bus No. 304 and private minibuses from Qingdao.
Arrival
To the north of the city is international Airport, from where there are flights to all big cities China, as well as Korea and Japan. The centrally located main station is where the roads from Jinan end (via Beijing) and Yantai. IN South Korea There are also ferries.
Food
Qingdao belongs to best places for lovers of fish and seafood, especially when served with white wine made in Shandong. All these dishes, combined with a view of the sea and the opportunity to sit outdoors, as well as low prices are offered by private cafes on a dead-end street leading along the edge of Lu Xun Park from Laiyang Lu to Xiaoqingdao Island. An air-conditioned alternative is the restaurants on Laiyang Lu itself. How much money you spend depends, of course, on the dishes you choose and their seasonal prices.
