Qingdao riding wave of success after inaugural music festival
Musical notes literally flew across the night sky of Qingdao, Shandong province, thanks to 200 drones putting on a light show using the precision of high technology, while a traditional folk ensemble appeared at the central square in Jimo district to perform classic songs.
These events were a sneak peek at what locals would experience during the inaugural, ocean-themed, Tsingtao International Music Festival - set to become an annual event that will represent the coastal city in its entirety, through both its modern vitality and rich history.
The festival kicked off on Aug 2 and concluded on Sunday after presenting 10 concerts, staged in not only opulent opera houses, such as the Bluthner Grand Theater, but even inside the factory of FAW Jiefang Automotive.
