A large Olympic promotion poster has been unfurled in Qingdao - host city for this year's Olympic sailing events.

The city of east China's Shandong Province, is already very much swept up a spirit of celebration. The new poster adorning a skyscraper in downtown Qingdao got a lot of attention. So it must. It's the biggest poster ever - covering 6000 square metres on one of the sides of a 50-storey building.

Everywhere one looks in Qingdao the coastal city seems immersed in Olympic atmosphere. Colorful billboards and sculptures dominating streets, avenues and squares.
