The 7th China International Aquatic Sports & Boat Show is being held at Qingdao International Convention Center, May 8-10, 2009.
Any on-water exhibits will this year be on display in Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center (in the section of the marina closest to entrance #2).
The best time to visit the boat show would be either Friday or Saturday as you can then avoid seeing exhibitors packing down already Sunday morning.

Boat show in Yinhai International Yacht Club
During the public holidays on May 28-30, 2009 (Dragon Boat Festival), Yinhai International Yacht Club will have a three-day boat show at their marina.
Although it is a 'boat show', do expect a mixed bag of boats, banks, cars, and red wine to be present at the show.
