Qingdao Mountain, with an altitude of 128.5 meters, is located at the junction of the old and new urban areas. It backs on the bustling city and faces the sea. After Qingdao was established in 1891, the Qing army immediately built forts on this mountain. After Germany occupied Qingdao in 1897, it was called Bismarck Mountain and there was a famous underground command post of the fortress. After the Japanese army occupied it in 1914, it was renamed Wannian Mountain. After Qingdao returned in 1922, it was also called Jing Mountain. In 1984, the mountain was closed for park construction. In 1997, the municipal government invested in restoring the ‘underground command post of the German fortress’ and a fort site exhibition hall that comprehensively reflects Qingdao’s century-long history was built at the foot of the mountain.
