The bay is always the "top stream" of Qingdao.
Go to Qingdao Bay for a "gull" encounter, go to Huiquan Bay for a "seabed exploration", go to Fushan Bay to get a city light, and go to Lingshan Bay to visit the "light and shadow tour" ......During the Spring Festival holiday just past, Qingdao's bay once again became a "check-in place", and everyone opened it in different ways, but each had its own wonderful.
Qingdao Lingshan Bay was selected as a national beautiful bay.
The sky is blue, the ground is green, the waves are gentle, the water is clear, the bay stretches into the land, it is the closest sea area to the ocean, it is the resort of the sea, and it is the highland of economic development and the important place of ecological protection. According to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, this year China will launch the implementation of the construction and promotion of beautiful bays, focusing on promoting the construction of more than 100 beautiful bays. Since China launched this work in 2021, 20 bays, including Qingdao Lingshan Bay, have been selected as excellent cases of beautiful bays in China.
Some people say that Qingdao and the bay have a natural "blood" relationship. On the long coastline of Qingdao, there are 49 bays of all sizes, all of which are graceful and stylish, each extending a unique curve, shaping the beautiful scenery of Qingdao's "integration of mountains, bays and cities", and extending the vast space and infinite possibilities of the city.

The characteristics of Qingdao are quite prominent, its bay curve is extremely beautiful, and the large and small bays appear one after another, ...... endlessly"In a widely circulated article "What is Qingdao?", the bay landscape of Qingdao was specifically mentioned.
Mr. Lao She once wrote, "The sea in May is like a special green and lovely." When many people come to Qingdao, they will feel that the sea here has a special beauty - the bays dotted with each other contain the essence of the seascape.

Gentle "arm bend", embracing the city into its own landscape。The bay is the ocean embraced by the land, and the bay of Qingdao presents a variety of forms such as "C", "U", "V", etc., graceful and colorful, and the integration of mountains, seas, bays and cities outlines the beauty and temperament of Qingdao.
If you want to have a city walk in Qingdao, how can you miss a seaside walk, Tuandao Bay, Qingdao Bay, Huiquan Bay, Taiping Bay, Fushan Bay, Jiaozhou Bay, Lingshan Bay, Aoshan Bay ......One step at a time, giving you a good look, you can't stop at all. In 2007, Qingdao Bay was recognized by the World's Most Beautiful Gulf Organization as one of the "World's Most Beautiful Bays", famous all over the world.

The blue "Bay Chain" shapes the urban shape of the Bay Area. Some people say that the ocean has shaped Qingdao's open and inclusive urban temperament, and the bay highlights Qingdao's urban physique.
In recent years, in order to build a high-quality bay area city suitable for living, working and traveling, Qingdao's bay has also been constantly renewed, each with its own unique charm. In addition to Qingdao Lingshan Bay being selected as an excellent case of national beautiful bays, at the end of last year, Laoshan Bay was listed on the list of the first batch of provincial beautiful bay excellent cases in the province, and Aoshan Bay, located in Jimo, is becoming a "science and technology bay", and Jiaolong set off from the national deep-sea base located here to explore treasures.

Ecological "picture scroll" shows the beauty of social civilization. "The water is clear and the beach is clean, the fish and gulls are gathered, and the people and the sea are harmonious", the beautiful bay shows the urban civilization landscape.
For example, the successful governance of the marine ecosystem in Jiaozhou Bay has become a model of "green" governance of marine ecology. In Jiaozhou Bay, the Wenchang fish, known as the "living fossil" of the earth, lives and has been established in Qingdao since 2004 as an example of marine biodiversity. Qingdao citizens have carried out the action of retaining seagulls for 30 consecutive years, and gulls watching on the trestle bridge have become the city's IP, and the bay has witnessed the city's civilization progress.

"Bay Area", "Bay Area Economy" and "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" ......In recent years, there have been frequent buzzwords related to the bay, which is not only a landscape, but also a historical connection and an economic link.
Geographically, the bay is the area where humans and the ocean intersect the most.
The bay is like pearls and jade embedded in the long coastline and the shoreline of the islands, connecting the continent and the sea. Since ancient times, human beings have fished, caught crabs, and caught the sea here, enjoying the "benefits of fish and salt, and the convenience of boats". China is a maritime power, in 3On the 20,000-kilometer coastline, there are more than 280 large and small bays, which are becoming more pleasant "notes" in the symphony of sea and land.

Historically, bays have allowed humans to move from horseback to the ocean.
2,500 years ago, the ancient Greek oceanographer Themistocles said, "Whoever controls the seas controls everything." "The Age of Discovery has opened a new chapter in human civilization, and the stage of mankind has expanded from land and coastal waters to the open ocean, and the importance of the bay has become prominent. Most bays have good harbor and shelter advantages, and are the best place for people to use the sea space.
Tracing the history of Qingdao, from the fishing activities of the ancestors, to the ancient Langya Port, Jinkou Port, etc., to the modern Shandong port Qingdao Port, cruise home port, the bay provides selfless shelter for our survival, production and life.

From an economic point of view, the Bay Area is the growth pole of global economic development.
Since the rise of human industrial civilization, most of the world's most competitive cities and super urban agglomerations are concentrated in the Bay Area. Data show that at present, 60% of the world's economic aggregate is concentrated in the "bay area", that is, concentrated in the estuaries and fortresses of various countries; And 75% of the world's large cities, 70% of industrial capital and population are concentrated in coastal areas 100 kilometers from the coast. The bay has created a thriving and active Tokyo Bay Area, New York Bay Area, San Francisco Bay Area, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and other world-famous bay areas.
As far as Qingdao is concerned, as a city born by the sea and thriving by the port, it is the bay that provides it with a good port of great economic and military value. In recent decades, from Qianhai to Houhai, from "Yiwan" to "Huanwan", from "across the bay" to "embracing the bay", no matter how Qingdao's urban layout changes, it is inseparable from this sea and these bays.

Looking at the world, the "Bay Area" is undoubtedly a geographical symbol that confirms the development power and the sense of the times. "Bay Area City" is the distinctive feature of Qingdao's modern international metropolis. From the perspective of the development process of well-known bay areas at home and abroad, Qingdao should handle these pairs of relationships in order to improve the economic height, population density, innovation concentration and radiation intensity of the bay metropolitan area and build a world-class bay area.
The bay is a great place for people to enjoy the sea.
"Land" and "Sea". Connected to the land on one side and to the sea on the other, the bay is a key area for land and sea coordination. Marine development and utilization activities need the support of land-related facilities, and the terrestrial human settlements, industry, cultural tourism, etc. also rely on the ocean. For any coastal city, how to deal with the relationship between land and sea is a must to answer.
At present, many bays in Qingdao are seaside spaces for citizens and tourists, with rich cultural and entertainment experiences. In the future, how to further promote the development of land and sea resources, industry and space to promote the formation of a new pattern of coordinated development of land and sea resources, industry and space, and promote the complementary advantages and benign interaction between the sea and land systems is a key part of the urban development of the Bay Area.
"Blue" vs. "Green".。The bay is an important element unit in the natural life community, which bears the environmental pressure of various man-made development activities. For any bay area city, seizing the bay is grasping the "bull's nose" of coordinated economic development and environmental protection in the coastal area.
It is necessary to make the water clear and the beach clean, the fish and gulls flying, and the harmony between people and the sea become the normal state of the coastal scene, not the ecological restoration of the sea and the sea, or the ecological restoration of the bay, but the improvement of the ecological quality, the enhancement of ecological resilience, the increase of ecological functions and carrying capacity, and the increase of ecological products and people's well-being in the bay region. For example, Qingdao has divided the city's 49 bays into six bay areas, promoted the construction of "beautiful bays" in stages, and accelerated the construction of a green and sustainable marine ecological environment, which has achieved remarkable results.

"Cohesion" vs. "Outreach". From the perspective of the current layout of the region, the area around Jiaozhou Bay is the core area of Qingdao city, and from the perspective of the evolution of urban planning, the trend of Qingdao extending from the inner circle of Jiaozhou Bay to the outer circle is becoming more and more obvious. To build a high-quality bay area city, how closely connected the three fulcrum areas of the east coast, west coast and north coast determines the urban height of the Qingdao Bay Area era.
From highways and ferries, to bridges running from east to west, to "all-weather" undersea tunnels and subways, Qingdao has been trying new ways to get to the bay area.
Throughout the world-class bay area, the superior intra-regional transportation enables the efficient linkage development of various regions in the bay area. Whether it is based on current needs or future development considerations, Qingdao's Huanwan transportation system still needs to be continuously upgraded.
From the perspective of larger space, external interconnection and coordinated development are also the key. In October last year, the "Qingdao Metropolitan Area Development Plan" was issued, and as one of the regions with the most active economic development, the strongest innovation ability and the highest degree of openness in the country, the Qingdao metropolitan area is coming step by step. Gather the heart of the bay to build a world-class bay area, build an ecological security pattern of "one belt, two bays, three hearts and multiple corridors", and create a life community ...... of "Shanwan Island, Lintian River".Facing the future, Qingdao's bay is shouldering a new mission and opening up new possibilities.
The beautiful bay reflects the city's humanistic, economic and ecological ......The bay is constantly creating a wonderful "chemical reaction" with the city, and it brings more than just the sea in front of you.
