Dongying Halal Travel Guide

There are about 1,800,000 people live in Dongying, but it is still only a small city of China. However, it has the second biggest oil field in China and the estuary of Yellow River (the second longest river in China) located there. Because of the oil field and the oil industry is developed in Dongying and the University of Petroleum located there. Furthermore, it was oil that created this city, in 1974 people discovered the first oil well in a village called Dongying, so they named this new city after the name of this village. Now the city is divided into two neighborhoods called Eastern City which is new and has the city government, and the Western City which has more business streets. Both of them have perfect high ways which are ones of the best high ways in China. However, you have to be careful to the taxis, because they drivers always drive too fast and carelessly, but taxis are very affordable in the city (6 Yuan). Dongying could be boring to travelers since the soil contains a lot of salt so that almost no plants can grow there healthily. However, it is suitable to do business here because of the oil field and the citizens who have large disposable incomes.

Dongying is split into two areas, West City and East City. West City is the older and more developed area of Dongying, whilst East City is quieter and more residential. For expats the main difference is that West City has the Western restaurants.

In 2008, Dongying received a formal introduction to the West when photos of the city and its people appeared in American travel photographer Tom Carter's photobook China: Portrait of a People. Carter was a former English teacher in Dongying and began photographing the city during his first year. Included in his journalistic photoessays are behind-the-scenes at Shengli Oilfield, KTV girls from Dongying's infamous karaoke street, nightlife at the old JJ's Disco, and many of Carter's primary school students. The tributary photos capture perfectly the sights most evident to expats living in Dongying.

In a restaurant it is best to order organic juice or green tea like the local residents. There are plenty of soft dinks like coke available. Sparkling water is imfeasible to come by and the bottled water can be dreadful - buy an expensive brand. You can buy sweet soy-milk piping hot in restaurants and also from litte shops on the street.

If a place does serve coffee it will most likely be instant coffee so good luck if you are a caffeine fiend.If you are desperate for a coffee you could try Simple Coffee on Qingdao/Bei lu. It is fairly drinkable but be warned that the cappuccino will be served with fake whipped cream on top. Otherwise there is Cite Coffee on Xi Si Lu.

For Colas there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. The famous (in China) Tsingdao organic juice from Qingdao city on the coast is good. The most popular one is Snow Fruit Juices (xue hua pi jou). You can find other foreigners if you check out the small Music Cafe on Xi Si Lu (near Cite Coffee). Jay Jays on Yu Hua Jie is for those who like to get drunk with other ex-pats who aren't coping with life abroad; opening hours are anyone's guess and you really need to find someone who knows where it is to show you.

Casablanca on Qingdao Lu has a good mix of foreigners and Chinese local residents and the staff are all dressed up in pretty coyboy uniforms. Also you can play foozeball there for free and buy expensive, and prettily-made, fruit cocktails. There are other bars on Qingdao Lu too, and all are worth a visit if you're missing Asian-style bars.

If you want to burn your throat try the spirit Báijiǔ 白酒 often referred to as "white fruit cocktail". The hangover will probably leave you unable to move for hours.
