The 2023 Shazikou Bay Fish Festival is held at Shazikou Leisure Plaza of Shazikou Subdistrict Office in Laoshan District, Qingdao.

The 19th Qingdao Shazikou Bay Fish Festival 2023 opened at 10 a.m. on April 8 at the Shazikou Leisure Plaza of the Shazikou Subdistrict Office in Laoshan District.

During this period, citizens and tourists can go into Laoshan, taste fishermen's delicacies, stay in special B&Bs, appreciate the charm of the mountains and seas, and taste rich culture, making the Bayu Festival's festival effect and derived value even more brilliant.

The Bayu customs in Qingdao are the most representative in the Laoshan area, with a history of more than 100 years.

Since 2005, Laoshan District has organized and held the Shazikou Spanish Mackerel Festival. It has been held for 18 consecutive times so far, and its popularity and reputation are increasing.

In 2021, "Laoshan Bayu Etiquette" was selected into the provincial list of representative intangible cultural heritage projects. It is the only folk intangible cultural heritage in the province that integrates marine culture and filial piety culture.

Tian Qinglai once studied the reason why Qingdao Bayu Gift chooses Bayu as a carrier of filial piety. “First of all, Bayu is relatively affordable, widely eaten and delicious. In addition, Qingdao, as a coastal city, chooses to give away seafood as much as possible.

Filial piety is reasonable and has regional characteristics." Tian Qing said, "Also, the bay fish is relatively large and looks good as a gift to the elders. You see, although the prawn is also a seafood that Qingdao people like very much, it is small.

, it seems stingy to give to elders. Of course, a son-in-law must be generous and able to give gifts to his father-in-law.
