Maritime transmission, "from zero to top" has become a bright spot.

The torch relay route in Qingdao includes two parts: the city relay and the Huangdao relay. The city relay is mainly along the coast, which fully embodies the marine characteristics, sailing characteristics, brand economy and coastal scenery. The Huangdao Relay takes Qingdao Port as the carrier, showing the features of the times of contemporary industrial workers and the economic characteristics of Qingdao Port.
