Leveraging its Olympic legacy, Qingdao continues to excel as a hotspot for sailing professionals and spectators.
In return the sport has spurred growth in other fields and helped drive the city toward becoming an international metropolis.
"Qingdao is a top-class sailing city with high-level venues and amazing sailing conditions as well as the local people and the government's enthusiasm," said Leigh McMillan, one of Britain's top multihull sailors who won the Extreme Sailing Series in 2012 and 2013.
