The development of Qingdao has meant extensive removal and rebuilding, such as the eminent domain flattening of a corner of Badahu across from Zhonglian Plaza, while places like Bo Luo You Zi in Old Town are completely gone and now resigned to legend.
The buildings pictured here show a side of Shibei district that will also soon be viewable solely in historical documents. The area is adjacent to Computer City/Ego (Yigao) – check out the location map here.
The debris strewn all over the sidewalks and in the building shells seems to have been designed to discourage squatters – the buildings in question have been rendered uninhabitable.
This neighborhood has been at the heart of the Shibei residential community centered around Children’s Park on Liaoning Lu for generations.
In memory of old Qingdao neighborhoods, for better or worse, till time do us part, it’s yesterday no more.
