Jimo, Qingdao
36°23′N 120°28′E / 36.383°N 120.467°E
Jimo District (Chinese: 即墨区; pinyin: Jímò Qū), formerly Jimo City (即墨市), is a District of Qingdao, Shandong.
Jimo is located in the southwest of the Shandong Peninsula, bordered by the Yellow Sea on the east and Mount Lao on the south.
Jimo has a moderate monsoon climate. The yearly average temperature is about 12.9 °C (55.2 °F), and average annual precipitation is 693.7 millimetres (27.31 in).
Jimo was established in the Eastern Zhou dynasty, at which time it was the second largest settlement in Shandong. The Siege of Jimo in 279 BC, otherwise unremarkable, is remembered for the ruse that ended it. Tian Dan was a general of the State of Qi who had just lost 70 cities to the Yan. When Jimo, their penultimate city, was under fire, he collected more than 1,000 oxen, tied sharp daggers to their ears, tied straw to their tails, and dressed them in colourful cloth to make them look like dragons. At dead of night the Qi set the tails alight and drove the oxen towards the enemy camp. The panicking enemy soldiers were wiped out, and the Qi regained all the lost cities.
On 6 March 1898, the city of Tsimo (Jimo) became part of the Kiautschou Bay Leased Territory. By the time of the First World War, the Germans had set up a small outpost in Tsimo, which on 13 September 1914, was taken by advancing Japanese cavalry during the Siege of Tsingtao. After its capture, Japanese cavalry and engineers alongside the 23rd Infantry Brigade would arrive at Tsimo on 18 September. During the siege, an airfield was built and by 21 September, Japanese Army Nieuport IV.Gs began operating from Tsimo in an unsuccessful attempt to bomb the German airfield and destroy the lone Rumpler Taube. After the end of the war, the Kiautschou Bay Leased Territory (along with Tsimo) was ceded to Japan and returned to the Chinese in 1922.
During the Chinese civil war, 90,000 peasants from Jimo participated in the Civil War on the communist side. Rural women in Jimo also contributed to the war effort through making and supplying People's Liberation Army soldiers with 5,000 pairs of shoes.
As of October 2021, Jimo District has 11 subdistricts and 4 towns: Huanxiu Subdistrict, Chaohai Subdistrict, Tongji Subdistrict, Bei'an Subdistrict, Longshan Subdistrict, Longquan Subdistrict, Aoshanwei Subdistrict, Wenquan Subdistrict, Lingshan Subdistrict, Lancun Subdistrict, Daxin Subdistrict, Tianheng Town, Jinkou Town, Duanbolan Town, Yifengdian Town, and Tongji New Economic Zone and Tianheng Island Provincial Tourist Resort.[citation needed]
