According to Tan, the performance is one of the new projects the company is working on to attract visitors. The company will also enhance cruise ship services, allowing local residents and visitors to better enjoy the beautiful coastline of Qingdao.

A faster and more comfortable new cruise ship will be deployed on the route from the Olympic Sailing Center to Taiqing Pier, Tan said.  

Qingdao Tourism Group also recently launched an app called "Haile" to allow visitors to choose cruise ships, yachts, sailing boats and other maritime experiences online, Tan added.
