The area is home to two major structures: the Olympic Auspicious Clouds Torch sculpture and the sailboat sculpture, both majestic and grand. They are landmarks of Qingdao, a city known as the Sailing Capital.

Xiaoqingdao (Little Island). Little Island and Huilan Pavilion are two pearls on Qingdao Bay. The white lighthouse, built by Germans in 1898, is still an important navigation beacon for ships entering and leaving Jiaozhou Bay.
