After Germany occupied Qingdao, it was named ‘Royal Qingdao Observatory’, hence the name ‘Guanxiang Mountain’. The astronomical dome is the first astronomical observation room designed and built by China itself. Although referred to as a mountain, it is more accurately described as a hilltop park.

The park is open all year round and accessible 24/7.
