Huashilou

This can be said to be Mr. Jiang's former residence. The ticket is less than ten yuan, and it is worth it in the small western-style building. There is a highest point to climb up, where you can look at the Qingdao TV Tower and the second bathing beach. The courtyard here is also very beautiful. There is also a closed small door in the courtyard. That small door leads directly to the second bathing beach. It is estimated that the second bathing beach was also Mr. Jiang's territory before. Mr. Jiang was still very enjoyable. Although this Huashilou charges an entrance fee, it is still worth visiting.

Soon we arrived at Huashilou, which is worthy of its name, as it is built of granite. A couple was taking wedding photos, and the red wedding dress formed a sharp contrast with the plain flowers and stones, making the bride look even more beautiful. Entering Huashilou, the furniture and furnishings were the same as those in the Governor's Mansion. Most of the windows were stained glass, which was made of the same material as the former residence of Chen Cihong in Chaoshan. It is said that these are also Western goods, but they are loved by wealthy families; the bed and bedside table are both plain dark wood, with a low and thick style.

Here, I met a grandmother who left Qingdao for the inland before and after the Liberation War. I don't know why she came back until today. When I looked at the old photos in Huashilou, I could vaguely tell what buildings were there at that time and how they compare to today. The fairy tale of the years, the whisper of time, just saw a couple taking wedding photos and about to enter the wedding hall, and in the blink of an eye I saw the old grandmother recalling the past of Qingdao. Cherish every day, life is short.

The ticket to Huashi Tower is 8 yuan, and the tickets to Princess Tower and Butterfly Tower are both 15 yuan. We bought half-price student tickets, and there is a color-printed architectural map on the back of the ticket.

Huashilou is a European castle-style building, which is suitable for taking retro and nostalgic photos. According to legend, Chiang Kai-shek once lived here. After the liberation, Huashilou received many distinguished guests. Huashilou has five floors. You can see many old historical photos when you walk up. I took an old photo of Qingdao and put it below for comparison with the present.

Walking from the main gate into Huashilou, there are two rows of solemn pillars on both sides of the path, as if every step you take brings you closer to that era.

This is also a great place to take photos. Walking from one end of the path, the photos taken are very layered. In addition to the front angle, many side views or stone tablets and pavilions can also provide good photography materials.

This castle-style villa, which contains four major European architectural styles, has five floors, including one underground floor, three above-ground floors and a tower. The first floor is designed as an office, reception room and restaurant, the second floor is the master bedroom, the third floor is the study, coffee room and guest room, and the tower is the observation deck and sea-viewing platform. There are stables, courts, gardens, etc. outside the main body of Huashilou. After liberation, Huashilou became a residence for receiving Chinese and foreign guests, with the house number of No. 18 Huanghai Road. Party and state leaders Dong Biwu and Chen Yi have stayed here. In 1975, the famous writer Ye Shengtao came to Qingdao for recuperation and wrote a poem "Qingdao Seaside Morning View of Perfection and Beauty", which was published in the second issue of "Mangzhong" in 1979.

I haven't seen the vast ocean for ten years, and now I am experiencing the wind and waves in the morning of May.

The brother and sister still have childishness, and often bend over while walking on the beach to pick up shells.

Huashilou actually hides many stories. Its first owner was a White Russian newspaper tycoon who fled to Shanghai. Later, Huashilou was resold to a British insurance company. It is said that Chiang Kai-shek stayed here for a short time in 1947. After that, when the People's Republic of China was founded, Huashilou became a sanatorium for senior cadres and received Marshal Chen Yi and his wife. But there is no trace of this history in the current Huashilou. The introduction inside the building seems to only briefly mention Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Yi. A room on the top floor sells souvenirs, and the balconies with excellent viewing angles are all closed. You can only overlook the second bathing beach from the window and feel the sea breeze from the cracks in the door that are never closed.

Huashilou, No. 18 Huanghai Road.

It was built in 1932 by a Russian named Gerasimov. It was named Huashilou because it was built with granite and pebbles. It is in the style of an ancient European castle, with the legacy of ancient Roman Gothic architecture. It is the most famous and representative villa in Badaguan. To the north of Huashilou is the second seawater bathing beach, and there are many tourists at the entrance of Huashilou, so you need to buy a ticket to enter.

Qingdao Huashilou is located on the cape at the southern end of the Badaguan scenic spot. Huashilou is backed by Badaguan and faces the second bathing beach. The scenery is very unique and the environment is beautiful. It was built in 1930. The outer wall is made of granite and the top of the tower is a parapet.



Huashilou is a European castle-style building that integrates various Western architectural art styles. It has both Greek and Roman styles as well as Gothic architectural features.

One of the paid attractions in Badaguan, it is highly recommended to visit

Any "historical sites" related to "Principal Jiang" are my must-visit "check-in attractions".

Because the walls of the building are covered with marble and the outside is paved with pebbles, people have called it "Huashi Building" for many years.

It's a pity that the building was closed when we went there. It is a European castle-style building that combines multiple Western architectural art styles, with Greek and Roman styles and Gothic architectural features. It is said that Chiang Kai-shek lived here before liberation.

It's an exquisite little Western-style building with a good location, but nothing special about it.

I didn't go in, but took a photo outside. I like it very much, it has a sense of age and is very beautiful.

I need a ticket, 8 yuan.

You can probably go into the building and visit it.

It was difficult to get a proper panoramic shot outside because the trees were so dense.

Entering the courtyard and stepping into the Huashi Building, you are not allowed to take photos inside. In fact, the building is not big, but it has a unique flavor. There are many historical photos hanging in each room, telling the extraordinary history that has happened. On the second floor, you can enjoy the sea view. Jiang Gong's vision is still very good. Opening the window to watch the sea, I really want to say loudly: "Facing the sea, spring is warm and flowers are blooming!"

Huashilou is backed by Badaguan and faces the Second Bathing Beach. It was built in 1930. The outer wall is made of granite and the top of the tower is a crenelated parapet.

It is said that historical celebrities such as Chiang Kai-shek once stayed here, so it is called the Badaguan tourist attraction for tourist groups and is quite crowded.

Just passing by, the characteristic buildings of Badaguanzhong, just check in

In 2005, I went on a tour to several coastal cities in Shandong. Badaguan is an exhibition hall of old villas in Qingdao, and Huashilou is a representative old house in Badaguan.

The house where the chairman lives is indeed nice, like a castle.

The castle-style building is built with granite as the main body and decorated with soapstone. The exterior combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles, and the interior design embodies the artistic charm of Baroque and Rococo.

The design of the entire building is very unique, mainly recording the stories of Chiang Kai-shek and his wife Soong Mei-ling who stayed here. The sea view outside the window is attractive and the vision is broad.

Chiang Kai-shek and his wife used to have a palace, which has many stories. It overlooks the beach. The building is not big and you can finish it quickly.

Huashilou was the residence of a big shot in the Republic of China. Go up the spiral staircase and open the window to see the sea.

Price: Adults: 8.5 yuan/person; Students: 4 yuan/person

Recommendation index: three stars

Recommended reason: The building actually contains some living places and daily necessities of Chiang Kai-shek and his wife when they lived in Qingdao. You can learn more about it~~

The view on the balcony is so beautiful. I want to be Chiang Kai-shek's wife.

This is one of the few buildings in Badaguan that requires money to buy. It is where Chiang Kai-shek lived. It is very unique.

Huashilou is by the sea. After we came out, we went to see the sea again. It was almost dusk, the sun was not so strong, and the sea breeze was very strong. It was a bit cold. We were a little tired after walking all day, so we just sat by the sea, enjoying the breeze, chatting, and looking at the sea. It was so pleasant.

Huashilou is a European castle-style building that integrates various Western architectural art styles. It has both Greek and Roman styles as well as Gothic architectural features.

Huashilou is located in Badaguan Scenic Area. It is easy to find. The most important thing is that it is built in a very unique way. The creepers climb up half of the wall. It is very quiet. It is really shocking to see such a building in a modern city. It is worth a visit.

At the southernmost part of Badaguan, there is a small building near the sea. The bus here is not very convenient, but taxis are OK. However, the west side is a one-way road, which is a bit difficult for tourists who are not familiar with the road.

It is a famous architectural attraction in Badaguan. Tickets are required. When there are many people, you have to queue up to get in! It is very popular!

Very beautiful!! Many people take wedding photos here!! Romantic!

I like the glazed tiles on the windows.

Huashilou is the residence of Chiang Kai-shek, located in Badaguan, very close to the sea. It is not very big, but very beautiful, a typical Gothic building. Standing on the roof and looking at the endless sea, the view is broad and the mood is refreshing. The generals and marshals who lived here at that time lived quite comfortably!

The spiral staircase has appeared in many travel notes, so many people come here to take pictures. Because it is also the only traffic passage, how long you have to wait for a perfect photo opportunity depends on your luck. I was attracted by the Meiling Palace when I went to Nanjing in my freshman year. As a professional architect, I will not miss the Huashilou when I come to Qingdao this time.

Every time I visit the places where Soong Mei-ling lived, I am impressed by her artistic attainments. Perhaps because she lived abroad, the architectural styles she liked were all romantic. Whether it was the plane trees in front of the Mei-ling Palace or the stained glass inside the Huashi Building, they all made people marvel at how art can be so close to life.

Facing the sea, spring is in full bloom. This is probably the best adjective for Song Meiling's room. When you open the balcony door, you can see the endless sea, which makes you feel relaxed and happy. The symmetrical corridor gives people a solemn feeling, and the back garden is full of flowers and birds. I am afraid that most people can only dream of such a life.

Huashilou is not far from the sea. Walk along Shanhaiguan Road to the end, and you will see the sea, and you will arrive at the building. I love the window overlooking the sea in the building. The walls are surrounded by 360 degrees. No matter which window you look out, you can see the past, present and future.

Sea view, sea view, sea view. The sea view from the third floor is great, and the sea breeze is super refreshing! The ivy outside the building is really beautiful, and the building is really pleasing to the eye.

Get off at Wushengguan Station and you will be in Badaguan. Walk along the quiet Zijingguan Road behind you and you will arrive at the legendary Huashilou. This is a four-story building built on the seaside. It is more elegant than a villa and gentler than an ancient castle. It was once the former residence of Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling. Many great people have also stayed here. Therefore, this is the only place in Badaguan that charges admission.

In the Badaguan scenic area, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling once lived here.

Huashilou is very beautiful. During holidays, there will be a long queue at the ticket office. The interior decoration style of Huashilou is still very beautiful, and it looks like a castle from the outside.

My favorite! The medieval Baroque castle is so cool! From the first sight of it, I couldn't stop my camera and my imagination. I started taking pictures while wondering who lived in such a sexy castle? What major or interesting things happened? Just this building... I lingered for nearly an hour before I was willing to leave.

The view from the top floor of the tower is great, but it's a pity that the balcony is now closed and you can't go out to enjoy the fresh air and the sea view.

Huashilou is the former residence of Chiang Kai-shek and ticket sales stopped at 5pm.

【Huashilou】The most famous building in Badaguan. Before liberation, Chiang Kai-shek and his wife Soong Mei-ling lived here.

The entire building's facade is clad in granite, with large windows divided into several small squares by white panes, occasionally inlaid with colored glass, casting five colors on the ground through the sun. The facade facing the sun is mostly covered with green plants such as creepers, and the breeze blows through, blowing waves, adding a bit of agility to the solid and solemn granite.

Huashilou is very beautiful, I like the stone walls covered with ivy. The ticket is 8.5 per ticket, which is quite worth it

There are many people visiting Huashilou, and the building has retained its original flavor. There are too many people queuing.

The building looks very dreamy and the colored glaze is also very beautiful~~

Huashilou is a European castle-style building that integrates various Western architectural art styles. It has both Greek and Roman styles as well as Gothic architectural features.

Huashilou has a construction area of 753.7 square meters and a courtyard area of 3,000 square meters. It was built by Germans in 1903. The main building has 5 floors, with the top floor being a sea-viewing platform with an iron top on the side. It is named Huashilou because it is built with granite and pebbles. Huashilou stands by the sea, and standing on the top floor of the sea-viewing platform, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the second bathing beach. The whole building is like a European castle in a movie, with green trees and lush flowers and plants, which is quite harmonious with the romantic style of the entire Badaguan Scenic Area.

The ticket price for Huashi Tower is 8.5, which is not expensive. Compared with Princess Tower and Butterfly Tower, it is worth seeing.

8.5 yuan ticket, cash only. The scenery is OK, but there are many people

The appearance feels unique. I didn't buy a ticket to go in. I just looked at it from the outside. The location is right by the sea, which feels good.

We got off at the Juyongguan Road sign, opened the map and followed the navigation to walk 200 meters to Huashilou.

Inside the Huashi Building, there are European-style colorful glass and spiral staircases.

Chiang Kai-shek once lived here.

It's really beautiful. The castle looks like an old castle, and the interior is exquisite. There are some European elements in the yard.

The ticket is 10 yuan. I took a photo outside and didn't go in. The glass is colorful, which is a feature.

From the terrace on the second floor, you can see the second bathing beach.

Adults 8.5 yuan, over 60 years old free with ID

Huashilou got its name because it was the residence of Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling in Qingdao. The decoration style inside is full of the Republic of China period. It is also my favorite architectural style among the eight major passes.

The interior of the building is actually not very interesting. The exterior of Huashilou is the most beautiful, but you can't take a picture of the entire building because there are people everywhere.

This is the second most popular place for taking wedding photos. The location is really great. In the past, rich people really knew how to enjoy themselves!

It is said that Chiang Kai-shek lived here for a period of time. It was right next to the second bathing beach. You can see the sea when you go out or upstairs. I am so envious.

The student ticket price for Huashilou is 4 yuan, the original price is 8 yuan.

The top floor and basement level of Huashilou are not open to the public.

The sunlight shining through the stained glass is very beautiful~

This is a Gothic castle building, the palace of Chiang Kai-shek, and is very representative in the Badaguan scenic area.

It's a house, the exterior is made of stone, it's better for taking pictures

Huashilou is named after the granite and cobblestones it is built on. The main building has 5 floors, and the top floor is the sea-viewing platform (currently not open to the public). The ticket to Huashilou is quite cheap, 8.5 yuan per person. However, due to the off-season, there are not many visitors, so basically one floor can be reserved.

It's quite interesting, you can take a look~~~~

It's an average small attraction, but the ticket is very cheap at eight dollars, and you can finish the tour in ten minutes.

It looks good from the side, also known as Chiang Kai-shek Mansion, and is very close to the second bathing beach.

The attraction requires a ticket, but I didn't go in. I just took photos outside. I really like this kind of architecture.

Huashilou is one of the landmark buildings in Badaguan. You can see the beach from the top of the building. You need to buy a separate ticket for Huashilou.

Qingdao Huashilou is located at the southern end of the Badaguan scenic spot. Huashilou is backed by Badaguan and faces the second bathing beach. It has unique scenery and beautiful environment. Built in 1930, the exterior wall is made of granite and the top of the tower is a parapet. Huashilou is a European castle-style building that integrates a variety of Western architectural art styles. It has both Greek and Roman styles and Gothic architectural features. In fact, when playing Badaguan, you can spend more time to read the introduction next to the building. Some of them really need to be understood before you can have more fun. This building is quite distinctive.

Very beautiful western-style architecture. Because Chiang Kai-shek once stayed here, it has a more historical and cultural atmosphere. Located on a cape, the sea view is unbeatable!

Huashilou was originally a cultural landscape, but its unique architectural style and location make it a good scenic spot. The scenery is good and worth a visit. Next to Huashilou is the Badaguan Scenic Area, which has beautiful scenery, and the sea view along the coast is also fascinating. Take some time to walk on the beach, enjoy the sea breeze and see the scenery. You don't need to calculate extra time to visit Huashilou, you can take it as a scenic spot to visit along the way.

The ticket price for Huashilou is acceptable. You can visit Chiang Kai-shek's house and see this house that has been on the seashore for hundreds of years. It feels very comfortable.

Just look at the building from the outside, no need to go in, there is nothing special inside

Without further ado, go and see it. It is definitely worth it. There is history, culture, stories and beautiful scenery.

We went too late...it was closed...but I think for most people who just want to take a quick look at the scenery...there is no need to buy tickets...just look outside...of course, the ticket prices for each building in Badaguan are very affordable...

I think it's average, it's better to go to the Princess Building. But it's still okay to see the sea at Chiang Kai-shek's Mansion

It's nice to experience the living style and environment at that time.

The ticket price is really affordable, 8.5 yuan. It is called the residence of Chiang Kai-shek, but the things on display inside have little to do with Chiang Kai-shek, and the record of Chiang Kai-shek's visit here is only passed down orally. However, the building is really good, integrating many European architectural styles. It is nice to take pictures and walk around.

It is a European castle-style building that integrates various Western architectural art styles, with both Greek and Roman styles as well as Gothic architectural features.

In the Badaguan Scenic Area, this location is really comfortable to see the sea view
