This is the tourist tower at Xinhao Shan Park in the old part of Qingdao. From a distance, I think it looks like a Studio Ghibli character design peeking out of the trees on the hillside.  Up close, it looks like someplace a Ghibli character might live.

This is Signal Hill Park (Xinhao Shan 信号山) in Qingdao. It is one of the ten important hill parks in Qingdao, and was very close to our hotel in the old German concession area. These red blobs are look-out towers for tourists. But to me, they look like Studio Ghibli creatures keeping watch over the city.
