Small Qingdao Island（小青島）

Located to the southeast of Zhanqiao Bridge, Small Qingdao Island is a pleasant little peninsular. From the sky, the island looks as if shaped like an ancient lute and hence has earned its nickname Lute Island. The island features a little park, a few small cafes and a white lighthouse. It is dotted with black pines and flowers such as oriental cherries, green peaches, pomegranates and roses of Sharon. It is a good area to go for a brief stroll, providing a good view of the Huilange Pavilion and a spectacular night view when the lights are all lit after dusk. Weather-permitting, visitors can see the nearby Yellow Island (Huangdao) nestled in the mist.
