Yingkou; A Port City With a Long View of the Sea

Frank Hossack -
Go at dusk if you can. The Daliao River empties west into the Bohai Sea right here, which means the sunset actually falls into the water instead of behind some hill or skyline. Sounds like a small thing. It...

Fuxin; Coal, Agate and a City still Rewriting itself

Panjin; Red Beach, Reeds and Oil

Frank Hossack -
Get out to the reed edge and Panjin makes more sense. The city lies flat in the Liaohe Delta, so wind has room to move. Wind has room here, which is a small thing but the right one. 盘锦最好是到了芦苇边上再看。它平平地铺在辽河三角洲上，风能一路过去，几乎没有什么东西挡着。风在这里真的有地方可去，这一点不大，但很对。 If you...
