Located at No 5 Anhui Road in Shinan district, the Qingdao Posts & Telecommunications Museum is the only open century-old wooden tower in the city. This industrial heritage museum was established on the historical site of the former German Jiaozhou Post Office, reflecting a significant chapter in the city's past.

A prized exhibit is the Ericsson manual magneto telephone, a relic with a history of over 110 years. Remarkably, this telephone, if connected to modern lines, would still function, demonstrating the quality of craftsmanship.

Beyond its exhibits, the museum provides a unique future mail service, enabling visitors to dispatch letters to be delivered up to 20 years later. [Photo/WeChat account: Shinanly]
