As one of Qingdao's most iconic landmarks, Zhaoqiao Pier was originally built as a wharf in 1891. It was expanded and repaired in 1931 and 1985, and today, it stands as a popular attraction for tourists. Stretching 440 metres long and 10 metres wide, the pier is supported by massive granite columns, with a standout feature being the two-storey Huilan Pagoda, a distinctive Chinese-style structure symbolising 'The Return of Waves'. Alongside the pier is Pier Park, a peaceful spot where visitors can unwind and enjoy views of the ocean and surrounding area.

The Amersfoort Wall Houses were built on top of the first city wall foundations. In 1380, its economic growth forced Amersfoort to grow, requiring a new city wall to be built. The stones of the first city wall were then used to construct these houses. These buildings were all built in different periods, which makes a walk along the houses unique.

You can go on four different cruises on the Amersfoort canals. The skippers will tell you all about the city’s history and the monuments along the canals: an opportunity to discover Amersfoort from the waterside. A cruise takes about 45 minutes.
