Qingdao: Building a maritime city and fashion capital, and sharing the benefits with more and more people (FOTO)

Frankfurt/Qingdao, China (ots) -

As the host to the glorious naval parade marking the 70th
anniversary of the People's Liberation Army Navy in April 2019,
Qingdao has attracted global eyeballs again and started a new journey
in its maritime career.

Qingdao is home to 26 research institutions for maritime science,
which account for 19 percent of China's total; 34 key laboratories
and engineering (technical) research centers of ministerial level and
above, accounting for 33 percent of the country's total; and it
accounts for 28 percent of China's full-time Chinese Academy of
Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering academics. As such,
Qingdao occupies the top spot in China in terms of the three
indicators.

As home to the Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and
Technology, National Deep Sea Center, National Maritime Equipment
Quality Inspection Center, Center for Ocean Mega-Science of the
Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao has unique technical support and
talent pool. And it is a leading global center in maritime science
and technology showcasing "Chinese wisdom".

In 2018, Qingdao's total maritime output value was 332.7 billion
yuan, up 15.6 percent year-on-year, which accounted for 27.7 percent
of its local GDP. Qingdao's maritime economy covers the
manufacturing, fishery, medicine, sci-tech, service, education and
other sectors, and its penetration into these sectors has gained
pace, which indicates the parallel development of traditional
maritime industries, including maritime transport, maritime equipment
and coastal tourism, with maritime bio-medicine, modern maritime
services and maritime new materials being the emerging sectors.

Qingdao residents have been making efforts to transform the city
into a maritime cultural brand and a famous coastal cultural tourism
hub. Over the years, Qingdao has made strenuous efforts to protect
the marine environment and ecology, and achieved success in
bio-protection and developing a "blue economy". And according to a
Qingdao Ecological and Environmental Bureau report, the acreage of
good maritime space in Jiaozhou Bay has increased to 73.7 percent,
10.3 percent more than that five years ago.
