Weihai, China
Weihai is on the peninsula of Shandong Province that points to Korea. It is the nearest airport to Seoul, Korea, and many Koreans have moved to Weihai to retire or to start businesses (because it is cheaper than in Korea). Weihai is also a popular summer destination for Russians from Siberia. I have never seen more construction occurring in one place as I saw in Weihai (150,000 population) -- almost all of which was second home flats/apartments and villas.

Fenghuang, China
Fenghuang (Phoenix) is located in Hunan Province and is billed as China's most beautiful ancient city. It is a huge destination for domestic tourism. Very few international visitors make it Fenghuang. The old city is located along the river and is surrounded by a more modern city. You can read a little more about Fenghuang on this blog post: http://bit.ly/mychina2011 The first part of the photos is of Fenghuang itself. The second part is of the bus ride between Zhangjiajie and Fenghuan. These photos were taken during a post-conference field trip in July 2011. The conference was held in Zhangjiajie National Park, which is a few hours by bus from Fenghuang. A full set of my Fenghuang photos will eventually be available on Flickr at: http://bit.ly/ChinaFlickr

Taiwan - Hsinchu Food
Hsinchu (also spelled Hsin-Chu) is a smaller city in Taiwan (pop about 400,000), located south of Taipei in Taiwan's “Silicon Valley”. I was a guest of the National Hsin-Chu University of Education. I really like Hsin-Chu a lot as it was more human scale than the larger cities of Taipei and Kaohsiung. The pace of life seemed slower, but it still had incredible fooding opportunities!
