Boomtown China

Another room with another view

A view from my room I'll be staying in for the next week near the city of Taishan just along the Guangdong coast and it was a hot, hot day today!

Taishan is well known as being "China's First Homeland for Overseas Chinese". In fact, it is the native place to about 1.3 million overseas Chinese people from over 80 countries, more than its local population of 1 million. Most of these overseas Chinese are first-generation or second-generation immigrants living in foreign countries such as the United States, Canada, Mexico, or England. The Chinese community in the United States has been dubbed the name "Taishan's Other Half". Since its people are widespread everywhere around the world, the English term Taishanese is commonly used to refer to its people or its dialect.
