Rizhou or bust

So I'm off to Rizhou--literally it's name means Sunshine City--tonight. Supposedly it's the place in China where the sun rises first.



Rizhou is in Shandong Province, which is just to the SE of Beijing (it's pale yellow on the map). I guess I'm off to the tip of that peninsula... maybe the rumor is true? It's an overnight train ride so I'll be there in the morning, ready to enjoy some seafood and good times until Saturday night when we'll catch the overnight back.

I'll have an update of my travels when I return.
