Recently, a short film was created that showed two students inspiring tourists to recognize the charm of the City Memory Museum in Shinan district of Qingdao. Since its opening, the City Memory Museum on Zhongshan Road has drawn a large number of visitors and was placed on the 10 hottest scenic spots list in Shandong for this year's National Day holiday. Young people can enjoy the rich history of the city, while the elderly can reflect on bygone eras in Shinan.

Since this summer, more students are passing through Shinan's old downtown. Students on study trips come from neighboring districts or from other cities, and their presence is felt everywhere, including at the Qingdao Art Museum, the Camel Xiangzi Museum, and Sanjiangli. By sketching the historic center, recording their experiences, and creating painted sculptures, they engage in the city.

The old downtown is of historical importance and serves as a museum of Qingdao. In addition to gaining knowledge and skills from the old downtown, teenagers visiting it can also acquire value cognitions from its rich culture. 

As study trips boom in Shinan, education in the district has also made progress, which contributes to the inheritance of precious historical stories and creates cultural confidence. Furthermore, the rise of study trips has also made the district more attractive to visitors and enhanced the quality of cultural tourism in Shinan.
