Qingdao
Qingdao is a picturesque coastal city that lies on the southern tip of Shangdong Peninsula , located in Jiao Zhou Bay facing the Yellow Sea.  Before troops were garrisoned here by the imperial court of Qing in 1891, Qingdao had been a small fishing village. It became a German concession in 1897 and was occupied by Japan in 1914. The city reverted to Chinese rule in 1922, but was occupied by Japan again during the Second World War. Today it is one of the most important independent open coastal cities with state planning and budgeting powers including provincial power in economic management.
