Who knows what is the longest and shortest road name in Qingdao?

Qingdao is a hilly mountain city, and the roads formed are built along the terrain, which determines its ups and downs, bends and directions.

Qingdao is a beautiful and clean city, and all roads are paved with asphalt. At present, most roads and back streets in the community have hardened. It is predicted that there will be no sandy roads in the urban areas before the Olympic Games next year.

The most distinctive road in Qingdao is Boluo Youzi, located on Jiaodong Road. It is winding and paved with horse tooth stone, but unfortunately it disappeared in urban construction.

The length, width and width of roads in Qingdao vary greatly. The longest road, Xiaobaigan Road (now Chongqing Road), is18.8km long. The shortest road is Liuting Road between Taishan Road and Qinghai Road, which is less than 50 meters. The widest road is Fuzhou Road, and the designed subgrade is 80 meters wide. The narrowest road is Wuxian No.1 Road connecting Laiwu No.1 Road and Suzhou Road, with a width of only 4.2 meters. Xing 'an Road in Shibei District and Baohe Road in Licang District are both concave. The two ends of the former lead to Dengzhou Road, and the two ends of the latter lead to Liu Si Middle Road.

Taidong Town, which was formed in the early 20th century, has a relatively neat layout. There are 1 1 vertical roads from Shengfeng Road to Qinghe Road, and eight horizontal roads from Taitung No.1 Road to Taitung No.8 Road are intertwined to form a rectangle, which is called "Chessboard Street". The only straight road due south and north is Qingdao Road.

Most roads in Qingdao are named after the place names of all parts of the country and this city, but there are also some other roads. Named after the starting and ending places of roads, such as Tailiu Road and Liusi Road. Named after the location, such as Binhai Road, Binhe Road, Signal Mountain Road, Qingda Road and Haiyun Street. In the west section of Xuanhua Road in sifang district, the early road was called Miaogou Tuwu. The roads named after people's names and place names include Zhongshan Road and Shangzhi Road.

In road naming, when multiple roads are formed or branched at the same time, one, two or three numbers are often arranged or a word "branch" is added to name them. For example, Jinsong No.1 Road to Jinsong No.9 Road and Shanhaiguan No.1 Road to Shanhaiguan No.3 Road. There are also place names with "Jing" or "Wei", such as Keyuan Jingyi Road to Jingba Road and Keyuan Road to Weisi Road in Science Park. Others are distinguished by geographical location, such as Liaoyang East Road, Liaoyang West Road, Fuzhou South Road and Fuzhou North Road. Another example is Hong Kong East, Middle and West Road, and Chongqing South, Middle and North Road. Qingdao is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has an indissoluble bond with the sea. Perhaps coincidentally, there are more than 40 road names with sea characters in Qingdao.

Qingdao often uses some place names with the same prefix or suffix in a newly-built area to show overall arrangement. People are used to summarizing with "eight" to show how many. There are "Badaguan" (actually 10 Guanzi Road), "Badaxia" (actually 10 Xiazi Road) and "Eight Great Lakes" in Shinan District. There are "eight ridges" and "eight seas" in Laoshan District (in fact, there are nine road names with the word "sea"). There are "eight suns" in Chengyang District and "eight mountains" in Huangdao District (actually 1 1 road has a mountain character).

There are three distinctive roads in downtown Qingdao. The only road named after the enterprise is Haier Road, and the only misspelled road is Quyuan Road. This road is connected with Zunyi Road, starting from Nanqu Village in the west and ending in Yuanyuan Village in the east, so it should be named Quyuan Road. The word "Qu" on the road name sign is a typo, and it should be "Qu". The only road name that should not be kept is Zhiquan Road. "Zhiquan" is the word of the head of Anhui warlord and the chief culprit of the "March 18th" tragedy. There is also Donghai Road, which is actually located on the south coast of Qingdao, and it is easy to be misunderstood by outsiders. The name Donghai Road is based on the fact that there are already three roads in this city, namely Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea and South China Sea. With Donghai Road, China's four seas are complete, thus ignoring the geographical location. As far as I know, its original name is "Tianshui Road". Tianshui is both a place name and a natural scenery here. Why not abandon it?

After the reform and opening up, Qingdao's urban roads have multiplied. By the end of 2004, there were 249 roads 1 in the urban area, and it is estimated that there are more than 400 roads 1 at present. The naming of new roads is still based on geographical names, referring to the Implementation Measures of Qingdao Geographical Names Management issued by 1988. With the improvement of people's cultural literacy, it is bound to break through the traditional model, and humanized road names begin to appear in the naming of roads. The ten roads in Dagang District are all named after the word "Hong Kong", and the words "Qingdao Unicom Yuhuan Revitalizes China" are embedded in the middle. It highlights the heroic spirit of Qingdao Port, which is based on the motherland's vision of the world. In the west of Cangtai Road in Licang District, after the original "Xia Jie" shanty town was transformed into a new building complex, all the eight streets formed were named after Cangzi, with the words "Anju Guangsha Yihe Shunxing" in the middle. Expressed the good wishes of the new and old "Xiajie" residents. In Huangdao District, there are four vertical roads vertically connected with Huaihe West Road, named after unity, endeavor, pioneering and innovation respectively, which embodies the spirit of keeping pace with the times in the Economic Development Zone.
