Hello friends! Is it just me or does anyone else feel so lazy at this point of the year, when the sun is out and work is the last thing on your mind? I hope I'm not alone!
Today I'm showing you small bits of my hometown: Yantai, China. Since the primary purpose is to visit family and friends, I didn't do much sight-seeing. I'll be sharing with you street views as well as interesting decor.
My hometown Yantai,
烟台 (outlined in red) is part of Shandong Province (where Confucius was from!), on the coast of Bohai Sea (
渤海). It's right across from Seoul in South Korea, where we used to have layovers. Beijing is an hour away by plane. To the north across the Bohai Sea is Dailian and some of our distant relatives live there. Yantai also borders Qingdao. You might have heard of
Tsingdao Beer and that's where it is! In Yantai, we produce and eat a lot of seafood and you'll see some below.
Interesting Fact: Yantai, which
literally translates to "Smoke Tower", got its name from the smoke towers that send light and smoke signals back in the days.
