The Golden Beach Beer City leisure food block and the Jimo Ancient Town Dongximenli cultural block in Qingdao have been included in the Shandong provincial tourism and leisure list, according to a report released by the Shandong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism. 

Qingdao authorities have been promoting the development of tourism and leisure blocks this year by leveraging regional characteristics and integrating sightseeing, catering, entertainment, accommodation, shopping, and leisure businesses.

The city has cultivated six tourist leisure blocks since the beginning of this year and helped blocks with comprehensive services participate in the declaration of national and provincial tourism and leisure blocks.

The city's cultural tourism bureau will continue to improve facilities, strengthen management, and promote the integrated development of culture and tourism to better meet people's demands for sightseeing and leisure.
