Editor's Piece

Wow - September 24th and Summer has vanished in the blink of an eye - we seem to have skipped autumn and jumped straight into winter ! Temperatures have dipped in the space of, well, overnight. Racing from T-Shirts to thick jumpers, had to rummage through the winter clothes in a quick panic this morning. Unbelievable - it must have something to do with that global warming thing they've been talking about recently.  

In Laishan District, So what's happening in Yantai? Yantai's 2nd Wine Exposition and the 10th Fruit and Vegetable Exposition both took place last week and went really well. Each year the events are becoming larger and better. The new shopping-mall, Aeon has opened, and has a fine array of shops, restaurants,  as well as the supermarket Jusco. The 5 Star Ramada Hotel is open and has great restaurants and yes, we think we found the  best  curry in Yantai located here. 5 Star Yantai Crowne Plaza Hotel will open soon.

In Zhifu District, Bei Ma Lu reconstruction is finishing after 6 months of digging and dust, and the 6-lane throughway stretches from the East to the West linking the Changyu Museum (close to Yantai Hill Park) all the way past the new Yantai Train Station (soon to open). New bars - "Druid's Irish Pub", continues to serve the best Guinness and Kilkenny's on tap, and King's Club booms just down the street by the seafront walk near the Changyu Museum. WWW (World-Wine-Walk) has just opened with quality imported wines on display from around the world.

As for the serious business stuff - there is some good information from Yantai Investment development Board about the leading companies and emerging industries in Yantai

Stay warm and enjoy Yantai this Autumn !
