European Square
A musical wonder that is the Music Square, Qingdao
Many travelling in China never forget to stop over in Qingdao for a unique experience. Among star class accommodation are many must see sites in the ‘old town' as well as the more modern areas usually accompanied with skyscrapers.
The old town is an area best seen by foot. It exemplifies Western architecture, specifically German and European touches which are effects of a German colonization during the turn of the century. It therefore is an architect's dream with prime German architecture placed inexplicably in Asia. Qingdao is also loved by visitors for its favorable weather all year round and being set nearby a seaside as a backdrop. The residents and authorities also keep to its cultural roots, making Qingdao a haven for culture and arts enthusiasts.
One such location would be the Qingdao Music Square. Set in the heart of Qingdao, the square features the ‘Sale of Music', an interactive exhibit which plays some of the world's best loved classical music whilst visitors traverse around on the stipulated sections. Another important aspect of the Music Square would be the tribute to Ludwig van Beethoven, a well known German composer. The monument stands impressively and is popular with music lovers who can listen to Beethoven's works of art when they visit the exhibit. Qingdao also houses a music festival eagerly anticipated by local and foreign music lovers which also features the Qingdao Symphony Orchestra.
Another popular area for visitors would be the Tai Dong shopping area of Qingdao. Armed with a variety of cafés, eateries, cinemas and malls, it is a maze dedicated to the shopaholic in any traveler and is a must see.
Visitors often look for Qingdao hotel close to such areas of interest. For a memorable Qingdao accommodation, choose Copthorne Hotel Qingdao with its exceptional service and luxury accommodation. Offering an array of rooms and suites, the hotel houses one of the most sought after restaurant which serves exquisite Chinese cuisine while the Central Grill serves up international flavor to its discerning clients. There is an indoor pool and attentive staff to cater to your needs and is recommended to be an excellent hotel to enjoy.

Why did European swords have a crossguard?
Why did European and western style swords have a crossguard while something like a circular or squared guard would offer better protection. Or why didn't all swords from that area have a basket guard?
When you think about it, a crossguard only protects a certain are of your hand, you would easily be able to cut the fingers or thumb of the person wielding a sword with one... right?
Those swords (with cross-guards) were not designed for sword fighting...they were/are LARGE and heavy and were designed to literally, through their sheer weight and momentum, to crush and enemy through his armor similar to a large edged club. Ever held one of those big bast*rds? I have trouble handling one much less the little fellows back then when compared to modern males...
