Beach 3----Fushan Bay and May 4th Square

Another beach, called Beach 3, is located on Fushan Bay. It is east of Beach 1 (on Qingdao Bay and Huiquan Bay) and Beach 2 (on Taiping Bay). Fushan Bay is the location for the sailing olympics in August of this year. Look for these scenes during the television broadcasting of the olympics this summer!

Notice the kites in the following picture. May 4 Square is a large public square on Fusion Bay that was named after a nationwide protest movement during World War I. The large sculpture, named "May Breeze", is a landmark structure and a symbol of Qingdao. There are some municipal government buildings located behind the sculpture. Also, on the 25th floor of one of the tall buildings is the meeting place of the International Church on Sundays.

The following short video is of a street musician and beggar. The instrument is an ancient Chinese one. I think that you will enjoy his music!
