Qingdao Bay, Natural bay in Shandong Province, China

The bay extends over 362 square kilometers, featuring three ice-free ports: Qingdao, Huangdao, and Hongdao, with depths between 10 to 15 meters.

The German Empire leased Qingdao Bay in 1898 for 99 years, establishing a naval base that later transferred to Japanese control during World War I.

The bay area maintains its status as China's premier sailing destination, hosting international competitions and promoting maritime sports throughout the year.

The Jiaozhou Bay Bridge, spanning 42.5 kilometers across the water, connects Huangdao District with central Qingdao, reducing travel time by 30 kilometers.

Marine researchers monitor the bay's ecosystem, documenting the presence of false killer whales and studying coastal habitat restoration patterns.
