Located on Aoshan Bay, about 40 minutes north of downtown, Qingdao International Exhibition Center (QIEC) has ten exhibit halls with the capacity to hold 6,000 booths, making it one of the largest and most modern exhibit halls in China.
QIEC is the anchor for the new Water City at Aoshan Bay, which is part of a regional economic strategy designed to increase and promote tourism, convention and resort activities in greater Qingdao and Shandong Province. The area has five-star hotels and a championship golf course. Shuttle buses will run from downtown Qingdao to the QIEC and a light rail from downtown Qingdao is scheduled to be completed in 2016.
