A coastal Southern city in Guangdong, China. Home to most overseas Chinese, and practically built up all the Chinatowns in the world for later generations. A developed and advanced city in the midst of a charming rural area known for its contribution to farming. The local Taishanese people are the most kind-hearted and caring people. Their doors are always open and they are very generous and hospitable to everyone. Overseas Taishanese have given back to Taishan generously, making its education system one of the best in the country. The home of Chinese volleyball, and historical center for international trade, Taishan has had great influence on the development of China. Taishanese was once the most widely-spoken language in Southern China, and lost to Mandarin by a small margin for the national language. All Taishanese should be proud of their roots, and not afraid to speak up! Work hard to preserve your culture!
I'd like to see more great places in China, I'm going to visit Taishan!
