Old Qingdao getting new look with traditional feel

The upgrade of Shuangzhu Park — a landmark built in 1987 that covers nearly 20 hectares in Qingdao West Coast New Area — is expected to be completed by the end of this month and reopen to the public.

The project includes the optimization and reconstruction of park entrances and exits, construction of new sports playgrounds, public toilets, improvement of public facilities, reconstruction of roads and dredging of artificial lakes.

The upgraded park will improve the living environment of the old urban area in the Qingdao WCNA, meet the leisure and fitness needs of local residents and improve the city's appearance, local officials said.
