May Fourth Square (Wu Si Guang Chang)

Situated in the heart of Qingdao’s business district, May Fourth Square (Wu Si Guang Chang) commemorates the nationwide May Fourth Movement — a 1919 student protest against the government’s response to the Treaty of Versailles — that began in Qingdao.

At the heart of the park rises The Winds of May, a red sculpture reminiscent of a burning flame. On any given day, the park is filled with locals who come to walk, exercise, fly kites, cool off in the fountains and take in views of the sea.
