“海汇繁花，珠贝生辉”——在青岛胶州湾畔，一组白色建筑群以独特的贝壳造型和圆形布局，诠释着这一设计理念。这是上合之珠国际博览中心，被誉为上合示范区“国家会客厅”。自2022年11月正式运营以来，这座建筑面积16.88万平方米的复合型综合体，以“会、展、商、旅、文”五大功能为核心，已累计引入5000余种上合国家特色商品，举办各类高端文化演出，成为“一带一路”倡议下文明互鉴的重要平台。

　　“Flowers Bloom by the Sea, Pearls and Shells Shine Bright“ — On the shores of Qingdao's Jiaozhou Bay, a cluster of white buildings brings this design concept to life with its distinctive shell-like shape and circular layout. The SCO Pearl International Expo Center, hailed as the “national reception hall“ of the SCO Demonstration Area, has been a hub of activity since its official openingin November 2022. Spanning a construction area of 168,800 square meters, this multifunctional complex centers around five core functions: conferences, exhibitions, commerce, tourism, and culture. To date, it has introduced over 5,000 specialty products from SCO member countries and hosted a variety of high-end cultural performances, emerging as a vital platform for cultural exchange under the Belt and Road Initiative.

　　7月3日，“全球媒体山东行”活动走进上合示范区，调研青岛·上合之珠国际博览中心。媒体团参观了解了俄罗斯、哈萨克斯坦、塔吉克斯坦等上合组织国家的文化元素及特色商品，并采访了中心运营方和商户。在这里，跨国商贸与文化交融的故事正生动上演。
