Gentle breezes sweep across Laixi, cold craft beer pairs perfectly with fine cuisine.

Recently, the 4th 2026 Lai Haipi Beer & Crayfish Carnival kicked off at People’s Square, Laixi. As a leading local aquatic science and technology enterprise in Laixi, Qingdao Qicai Seed Industry Technology Co., Ltd. took part in the event, bringing the “Australian National Treasure Fish” — Murray cod to this bustling summer gala.

This year’s Lai Haipi Carnival runs alongside the Lai BA Basketball League, bringing together gourmet food, live performances and agricultural product exhibitions, attracting throngs of visitors. Fueled by heavy foot traffic at the beer festival, local residents and merchants stopped by the booth to learn about the merits of Murray cod and sample signature Murray cod dishes.

Vibrant urban nightlife fuels the development of characteristic fisheries. The “Taste the Murray Cod Night” at Lai Haipi Carnival marks a valuable attempt by Qicai Seed Industry to connect scientific research, aquaculture and end consumers. Moving forward, rooted in Laixi, the company will continue to advance innovation in aquatic seed breeding, promote high-quality aquatic varieties, tell stories of modern fisheries in Laixi, and contribute to rural revitalization and high-quality development of the local aquaculture industry.
