Zhongshan Road connects Zhanqiao in the south and Dayaogou in the north. It is about 1,500 meters long and was founded in 1897 during the German occupation. It was originally divided into two sections. The southern section is from Zhanqiao to Dexian Road, named Feidieli Street, where German and other European and American expatriates lived, historically known as the "Qingdao District", also known as the "European District"; the northern section from Dexian Road to Dayaogou is the "Baodao District" where Chinese people live, also known as the "Chinese District", commonly known as the main road. From 1914, Japan replaced Germany and colonized Qingdao for 8 years. The road was renamed Shizuoka Town, and some relics of Japanese companies are still left. In 1922, China took back Qingdao and renamed it Shandong Road. On May 22, 1929, it was renamed Zhongshan Road in memory of Mr. Sun Yat-sen. Zhongshan Road was once a famous commercial center in old Qingdao, which was as famous as Nanjing Road in Shanghai and Wangfujing in Beijing. There are many well-known century-old shops here, such as the "Shengxifu" shoe and hat shop, the fragrant "Chunhelou", the well-known "Hongrentang" pharmacy, the century-old "Fushengde" tea house, and of course the "Hendley" watch shop, which is famous in China. Businesses selling dried seafood can be seen everywhere on this street, including sea cucumbers, abalone, shark fins and other marine delicacies, as well as prawns, dried shrimps, squid, clams, grilled fish, grilled shrimps, dried shrimps, kelp and other medium and low-end seafood. The special snacks of the island city are also available here. "Pichayuan Hutong" is located on Zhongshan Road, opposite the National Products Company.
