青島市標志性建筑，位于膠州灣入海口的青島灣內，占地面積2.47平方千米。因島上林木長青，遂稱青島；島形如琴，水如弦，風吹波濤如琴聲，又稱琴島。德國侵占青島時，派兵駐守，稱阿克那島，建有18米高燈塔，是船只進出青島灣的重要航標。日本第一次侵占青島時，改名加藤島。1932年，曾被辟為公園。日本第二次侵占青島時改為軍事基地。1942年，建起長377米、寬8米的堤壩，與陸地連接。解放后一直未向游客開放。1987年，重建小青島公園并于次年正式對外開放。1989年，建“琴女雕塑”。2006年，小青島燈塔作為青島德國建筑群之一，被列為全國重點文物保護單位。

　　Situated in Qingdao Bay at the estuary to Jiaozhou Bay, the park belongs to one of the landmark architectures of Qingdao with a floor area of 2.47 km2. It is called Qingdao (means “Green Isle”) because of the evergreen trees on the isle; it is also called Qindao (“Violin Isle”) because its shape is like an ancient violin, its waters like the strings, and waves after blown by wind send out the ancient violin sound. Germany stationed its troops here and named it as Akena Isle after its invasion of Qingdao. They built an 18m-high beacon, which was ever an important navigational mark for ships passing in and out of Qingdao Bay. Japan changed its name into Katoh Isle after its first invasion of Qingdao. It was even built into a park in 1932, but Japan altered it into a military base during its second invasion of Qingdao. A 377m long and 8m wide dike dam was built in 1942, which was linked with the land. However, it was not opened to the tourists after liberation until in 1987 when Little Qingdao Park was rebuilt and opened to the outside the next year. The “Sculpture of Ancient Violin Playing Woman” was constructed in 1989. In 2006, Little Qingdao Beacon was listed into the Key National Protected Units of Cultural Relics as one of the German architectural complexes in Qingdao
