Qiseshan Quarry Garden and Visitor Centre, Qingdao, China

The Qiseshan Quarry Garden and Visitor Centre are located in a quarry that ceased operations in 2017. As a result of intensive mining, the soil and vegetation in this area has been severely damaged over the years. With the environmental protection initiatives promoted by the local government and supported through investment from private capital, the subsequent ecological restoration has been on-going for several years. As a result, the previous damaged land is now covered with greeneries, with a new ecological public garden to open in 2020.
