Opposite the back of the flag bridge in Qingdao, there is also a small island, which is also a tourist attraction, but it is often missed by tourists. This small island is called Xiao Qingdao and is now a park open to the public. The history of the city of Qingdao is not too long. When Qingdao was also called Jiaoao, Qingdao already existed, but Qingdao at that time was really an island, now the small Qingdao. Xiao Qingdao has a small area of only 0.024 square kilometers, about 1/80 of Xiamen Gulangyu. From the trestle to the small Qingdao, you have to take a circle and walk in from the Qinyu Road next to the Naval Museum. Xiao Qingdao Park is very quiet and there are not many tourists. During the German occupation, the island was renamed Akna Island and Qingdao became the name of the city. Later, the Japanese occupation period was renamed "Kato Island." The strategic position of this small island was very important. The island has a tall lighthouse and is a symbol of Xiao Qingdao. The Japanese also built a torpedo warehouse on the island and built a railway. Small Qingdao is only a ten minute walk around the island. There are walking trails, gazebos and benches along the beach. Visitors can stop and enjoy the rest at any time. From the small Qingdao, the trestle and the high buildings on the shore are more spectacular. The water in Qingdao is very clean in the early autumn.
