rss feedGerman influence in Qingdao, China – this time, with images of Bavarian architecture
I began visiting China in the 1990s – at a time when online photo storage systems had not yet exploded for the masses. So, most of my photos are stored the old-fashioned way in envelopes tucked in boxes in my parents’ garage.
I thought I’d share pictures of Qingdao, China from my visit in 2000 – especially this Bavarian-inspired building that the German governor once used when German troops occupied the area.

And for me, China remains a fascinating and, at times, complicated place.
