May 4th square, the symbol of Qingdao

May 4th Square is the symbol of Qingdao. It got its name in memory of the May 4th Movement, an anti-imperialist, cultural, and political movement growing out of student demonstrations in Beijing on May 4, 1919, protesting the Chinese government's weak response to the Treaty of Versailles, especially the Shandong Problem.

Located between the new municipal government building and the bay, it is composed of the Shizhengting Square, the central square and the coastal park. These three parts have their own features and the whole square is a combination of local Qingdao features and modern design. Free admission.

The night view is excellent. With moist air and soft sea breeze, it's a wonderful place to have a walk after dinner.

There are a lot of vendors selling various kinds of sea products and ornaments and many people provide photo-taking services so it's very crowded.
