The Ordos Culture Shenzhou Tour - 2025 Qingdao Week began on June 13 at the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center in Shandong province. It provides a platform to show the unique charm of Ordos city in Inner Mongolia autonomous region through cultural performances, talent promotion, trade, and tourism exhibitions.

The event, organized by the publicity department of the CPC Ordos city committee, featured artistic performances and promotional activities in agriculture, animal husbandry, investment, and cultural tourism. These segments highlighted Ordos' rich history, modern development, and hospitable spirit.

From June 13 to 15, the main venue at the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center hosts themed exhibition zones, including a food fair, specialty product display, creative cultural exhibit, and a photography showcase. The booth designs, inspired by Ordos' Kangbashi central axis architecture, create an immersive "dual-city" experience that bridges geographical and cultural distance.

Traditional Mongolian performances by Ulan Muqir troupes add flair to the event at iconic Qingdao locations such as May Fourth Square, Taidong Pedestrian Street, and Zhanqiao Pier. These performances blend Ordos' ethnic artistry with Qingdao's seaside urban culture.

Launched in 2006, the Ordos Culture Shenzhou Tour has visited major cities including Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. Its latest edition in Qingdao aims to deepen cultural, economic, and tourism exchanges, while extending Ordos' warm invitation to visitors through a dynamic mix of exhibitions and performances.
