Rizhao October festival time


IMG_5516
A new food concept, found this simple place in Rizhao university district. Private hot pots for students, usually hot pot restaurants are for many people sitting around one pot and dipping food into boiling broth for immediate eating, this little place offers it for people coming alone. Things to be cooked are rotating on small conveyor - typical to fast food sushi restaurants.

This is once again the trip for getting to know back corners of Rizhao, finally the city has 2.8mil people, somewhere all these people must be hidden! October festival Golden holiday week gave us a chance to go slightly further to the villages of Rizhao. With more hills and dirt tracks and less of 8-lane roads.

Educational graffiti, the message seems to be: work hard, study hard, then it is possible to get a machine on the field to do the work.
