German Governor's Residence (Qingdao Ying Binguan)
German Governor's Residence (Qingdao Ying Binguan) Review
The striking former German Governor's Residence was transformed into a museum in 1996. Built in 1906 as the official residence of the governor-general of the then-German concession, it is set on a hill overlooking the Old City. The interior resembles a Bavarian hunting lodge, with wood paneling and a wide staircase leading from the foyer up to the bedrooms. Among the famous leaders who have stayed here is a Who's Who of names from recent Chinese history: Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping.
