Qingdao's 3rd Winter Jazz Town has begun on Xiaoqing Island, also known as "Qindao Island" (Music Island). This romantic event blends jazz with Qingdao's cosmopolitan charm. Beneath the century-old lighthouse, spectacular performances take the stage one after another. From lazy afternoon swing to soulful blues under the night sky, jazz melodies become a soundtrack for the winter coastline.
The improvisations of international musicians intertwine with the island's natural sounds. Each note carries its own magic, gently unlocking the most tender doors of the heart and creating a uniquely immersive experience. Visitors can choose to sit attentively on a bench and listen, or simply wander freely, letting the unrestrained, swaying jazz notes converse with the distant echoes of the "Music Island" legend, allowing them to feel the timeless allure of music that transcends eras.
As the sunset casts a warmth over the horizon, the most poetic moment of the day arrives with a special lighting ceremony. Warm lights gradually illuminate the surroundings, weaving together with the sea sunset and soothing music to create the most romantic winter scene.
