Qingdao Tourism Group is currently making intensive preparations to create a large-scale live performance at the Olympic Sailing Center, said the company's general manager Tan Peng.

The performance will reflect how the people of Qingdao, a coastal city in China's eastern Shandong province, use the ocean to drive development.

The performance will incorporate diverse art forms such as stage plays, operas, and immersive light shows, bringing a cultural and tourism feast to the audience, Tan said.

The performance will be made available to citizens and tourists before the Spring Festival, he added.
