It is a widely heard Olympics question - what is the time for that distance?
Excavation work on the Jiaozhou Bay channel tunnel, the second of its kind in the country, is well underway in Qingdao and will begin to burrow under the seabed this year.
It only takes an hour to travel from Qingdao to its satellite towns or three hours to other cities in Shandong province over the province's expressways - known to locals as the "city and provincial circle" commutes.
Authorities in the coastal city of Qingdao say they are accelerating construction of the world's second-longest suspension bridge that will span Jiaozhou Bay.
As the venue of the 2008 Olympic sailing competition, Qingdao is expecting an enormous influx of visitors from home and abroad.
