That striking seaside pavilion you saw in the movie "Successor" isn't just a movie set, it's Zhanqiao Pier – one of Qingdao's most iconic landmarks. Built in 1892, the 440-meter pier stretches into the sea, leading to the traditional octagonal Huilan Pavilion, with Xiaoqingdao Island just across the water.

On screen, it helps shape a fictional city. In real life, it's where you can feel the ocean breeze, watch seagulls fill the sky, and experience Qingdao’s coastal charm up close.
