Qingdao West Coast New Area (Qingdao WCNA) is set to host the 36th Qingdao International Beer Festival, kicking off on July 17 at Golden Beach Beer City, marking a vibrant start to the summer season.

Leveraging this iconic event, the area has integrated its diverse coastal, mountain, and cultural resources to create an array of immersive activities and consumer-friendly incentives.

Local scenic spots are diversifying their offerings to capture summer demand. Langyatai Site is focusing on archaeological study tours, while the Qingdao Forest Wildlife World has upgraded its interactive exhibits, including new animal displays and bilingual classes.  

To streamline the visitor experience, the area has curated a "light, shadow, and beer" themed route connecting the China Movie Metropolis, Ocean Carnival, and Golden Beach Beer City, effectively converting festival traffic into broader tourism consumption.

Additionally, the 360-degree panoramic show Qingdao by the Sea continues to anchor the nighttime economy this summer, complemented by a robust series of educational summer camps.

To lower barriers for travelers, the area is implementing a tiered discount policy for recent graduates, significantly reducing ticket costs at four major attractions, including Dazhushan and Xiaozhushan mountains. Visitors can easily access these benefits via the "Qingxinlv" WeChat mini-program or major online travel platforms.

By blending cultural heritage, large-scale events, and consumer welfare, Qingdao WCNA is stamping itself as a high-quality, vibrant tourism destination for guests from all around the world.
