Description

This paper aims to analyze how the Zhushuishan Park was formed and transitioned and how the mixed culture of three countries was shown in this park. And what should be emphasized is that it is not only the facilities built on the hill that symbolized the colonial culture, but also the space composition and flora landscape. Generally speaking, the Zhushuishan Park was maintained to be the urban green space through the whole modern period. It was firstly developed as the suburban forest in the German period. A large area of Locust from Berlin and Japanese Black Pine were planted on the hill. However, after that, the Qingdao Shrine was constructed here as the national symbol as soon as Qingdao was occupied by Japan. The Cherry Blossom planted inside the shrine strengthened the Japanese culture. The shrine was preserved by the Japanese government until the year 1945. Therefore, the Qingdao Shrine shaped the characteristic of the hill and left a great effect on its space composition. When the Chinese government received the sovereign of Qingdao and carried out the urban planning, the Hill Zhushuishan was kept to be the urban forest and placed into the urban park system. However, in order to emphasize Chinese culture the Cherry Blossom was replaced by Cedar.
