Dong Ying as a city

Dong Ying is on of the newest cities in China and founded as late as 1983! The population here is 1.6 million and it's China second largest oil city. But it's incredible to think that 30 years ago there was nothing here except grass and mud...Weather was perfect here for the whole time and it's rather clean place being next to the sea. 

View from hotel, new buildings being build all the time

When we went to do some sightseeing I saw this grass truck

Swan lake...Or thats's what it's called because there are suppos to be white and black swans. We didn't see any swans. Nor were there any people, this place was totally deserted.

The Swan Lake

Lookout tower

Cave toilet

There was also a massive temple next to the lake. Not a single person inside but the bells on the roofs kept ringing. It was like the place would have been full of ghosts, I felt much like "Spirited Away" when coming here.

The shrine was decorated but not a sign of a person who would have done that. The had also put fruits to the gods which is a custom here. Although no sign of who would have done that. Maybe it is a magical place? :)

The Bell tower

Only us 2 here, was spooky but really cool!

Traditional Chinese bridge, they are not straight so that the ghosts could not walk on them

Just next to downtown they build a tower in the middle of a hill

The "Europe" street

International beer city was completely empty, there were however 8 waiters playing cards, efficient labour!
