It is located in the southeast of Zhan Qiao pier.
Xiao Qingdao was a restricted military area until 1987.
After 1914, the Japanese attacked Jiaozhou Bay and occupied it, and afterwards they renamed Xiao Qingdao to "Kato Island".
The area of Xiao Qingdao is 0.024 square kilometers and 17 meters above sea level.
Also they called it "Qin Dao" because the shape of the island looks like an ancient musical instrument.
