Qingdao Guest House (Governor's Mansion)
Qingdao Guest House is invested by Clue share holding Co., Ltd. The hotel is the miracle of Qingdao architectural history and the important country cultural relic to be protected.
It was built between 1905 and 1908 in the style of an old fortress with Tudor motifs.This magnificent building, the former residence of the German governor general, looks like it leaped from a Grimm Brothers' fairy tale. In 1934, it was formally renamed "Guest House," and then became important as a retreat to receive the VIPs of military affairs and politics. Visitors can see the office where Mao Zedong slept during his month-long summer holiday in July 1957. Much of the stained glass, dark woods, and plush furnishings have survived, including an exquisite green marble fireplace with ornamental tiles in the study and an original 1876 German grand piano.
