The tour consisted of eight routes, including routes to Anna Villa, Qingdao Underwater World and to Qingdao 1907 Movie Museum, and provided an opportunity for family to embrace the beauty of the city in early spring.

In addition to crowds of shutterbugs, there were also more than 30 media members and a number of social media influencers coming to cover and broadcast the event.

A great variety of cultural creative products were sold at the event, including key chains, masks, umbrellas and bags. Along the coastline of Shinan, bags printed with the picture of Aofanfan, the mascot of the tour, could be seen everywhere.

In the future, Shinan will strive to cultivate Aofanfan into a cultural brand, and in the coming year, a series of activities are expected to be held, which will contribute to the development of Shinan’s cultural tourism industry.
