history of Dandong
Dandong has been inhabited since the Zhou dynasty. This area was called Anton in 1876. Anton, which means pacifying the east, means that China's power and influence had been mapped to South Korea at that time. Dandong was occupied by Japan in the First Sino-Japanese War in 1894. During the Manchukuo period, it was the capital of Anton Province, one of the 14 provinces established by Manchukuo. In 197, Dandong was forced to open as a trading port. On January 2, 1965, it was renamed Dandong, which means "Oriental Red". Recently, due to the cooperation and trade with North Korea, Dandong's regional influence has gradually increased. At the same time, the government plans to develop this city into a special "border economic cooperation zone" in the future to promote import and export trade and further enhance the trade capacity of the whole country.
climate environment in Dandong
The annual average temperature in Dandong is 6.8-8.7℃, and the temperature difference between north and south is about 2℃. Although winter is long, the severe cold period (the period when the average daily temperature is below -1℃) is short. Although it is hot in summer, the hot period (when the average daily temperature reaches 25℃ or above) is short, generally about 2 days (from late July to mid-August).
Spring and autumn are the seasons when the south and the north wind alternate. In spring, cold air begins to weaken and retreat northward, while warm air enters northward; Autumn is the opposite. The above weather characteristics make our city a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. Winter is the longest, followed by summer, and the transition season between spring and autumn is the shortest. Dandong has a lot of precipitation, which is the most in Northeast China, with an average annual precipitation of 881.3-187.5mm. Two-thirds of the annual precipitation is concentrated in summer, and the period from mid-July to mid-August is the period of heavy rain concentration in this area.
Dandong cuisine
Dandong is the largest Manchu-inhabited area in China, and its diet has a strong Manchu flavor. Because it is separated from North Korea by a river, all kinds of Korean cuisine and Korean barbecue are also very popular here. In addition, Dandong, which is near the Jinjiang River, is also rich in yellow croaker, large yellow croaker, noodle fish, male fish (autumn fish), pomfret, prawn, clam and sea crab. There are many good seafood shops along the Yalu River, which is a good place to taste seafood. The price is also cheaper than other coastal cities.
