Many attractions in qingdao's southern district are suitable for measuring with footsteps, because the attractions that can be seen are too dense, and if you take a car, you may miss them without paying attention.
The itinerary for the next day in Qingdao is still fully arranged. In the morning, go to Signal Hill first, then to the old site of the Governor's Palace. Next, after passing through Huangxian Road, there is a "day and night" café on the side of the road, I saw a lot of people taking pictures at the door, and later learned that it was still a well-known café. Then walk 300 to 400 meters to the Qingdao German Prison Site Museum (hereinafter referred to as the German Prison) at No. 23 Changzhou Road.
The main body of the German prison is a three-story bunker-like tower with a pointed red wall, plus a low brick building with four flats, and the two buildings are seamlessly connected. The interior of the bunker-shaped tower is actually the "inner volume" staircase mentioned in the title, and the main room of the prison is in the adjacent low building.
It can be seen from the appearance that the room where the prisoners are held in the prison has windows, but the windows are small and high, and the outside of the windows is fixed by a fine iron fence to prevent the prisoners from escaping.
The German prison was built in 1900, but when it was used by germans, it was not used to hold Chinese, but as a place for foreign prisoners. It was later taken over by the Japanese, who imprisoned some benevolent people here, such as Li Weinong, Shu Qun and others.
The entrance to the prison reads: Qingdao German Prison Site Restoration Exhibition, it can be seen that the current shape of the prison is restored according to the situation at that time, basically the original appearance is reproduced.
The prison cells are named after "benevolence", "righteousness", "etiquette", "wisdom", and "faith", and now the "ren" cell is open, and several other cells are not open to the public. The name of the cell is also interesting, either Chinese or by Germans who are well versed in Chinese culture.
The office area of the prison is set on the north side of the building, and on the south side of the building is the cell, which has a total of three floors; on the north side is the office area, a total of two floors; so the office area is much larger and more spacious than the cell. Distinguish between offices and cells, even if there is no text description, you can see the size of the windows. The place with the big windows is definitely the staff office, and the room with the narrow window is the cell.
The office area includes the warden's office, the prison guard's duty room, and a fingerprint archive room. At the beginning of the last century, Germany's fingerprint recognition technology has reached a high level, they have established fingerprint files of relevant personnel in judicial institutions such as courts and prisons, and now, the fingerprint cabinet in this archive room is also a relatively precious cultural relic.
Next to the fingerprint archive is the inner volume of the internet celebrity staircase. The staircase is spiral-shaped, with a concrete floor and iron red balustrades, which are photographed from above and look particularly like conchs. The reason it is so playful in shape is because it is built in a tower. Wouldn't a staircase built in a narrow circular building have such an effect?
The basement of the prison is a water cell set up by the Japanese. That basement is really scary. There is only one stone pillar in the middle of the whole room, and the roof is a thick iron beam with several iron rings hanging from the beam. When using the water cell, people are hung on beams and sewage is placed in the room.
Yes, you read that right, it's sewage, people don't put tap water on you. This point is written on the visit instructions, and I really haven't thought about this question before. And unlike everyone imagines, the water in the water cell is not past the prisoner's chest, or even to the chin, which is a scene that only appears in the film and television drama, and the water in the water cell is only 0.33 meters. Why this number? unknown.
