About
About Dongying
Dongying (simplified Chinese: 东营; traditional Chinese: 東營; pinyin: Dōngyíng), is a prefecture-level city on the northern (Bohai Sea) coast of Shandong province, People's Republic of China. As of the 2020 census, 2,193,518 people resided within its administrative area of 7,923.26 km2 (3,059.19 sq mi) and 1,188,656 in the built-up area made up of Dongying and Kenli districts.
About 1,800,000 people live in Dongying, but it is still only a small city of China. Because of the oil field, the oil industry is developed in Dongying and the University of Petroleum located there. Furthermore, it was oil that created this city, in 1974 people discovered the first oil well in a village called Dongying, so they named this new city after the name of this village. Now the city is divided into two districts called Eastern City which is new and has the city government, and the Western City which has more business streets.

Local knowledge
Eating, drinking and staying safe in Dongying
Eat
Dongying has all types of food from all over China, such as Sichuan food, northern food and southern food.
Drink
In a restaurant it is best to order beer or green tea like the locals. There are plenty of soft drinks like coke available. You can buy sweet soy-milk piping hot in restaurants and also from little shops on the street. If a place does serve coffee it will most likely be instant coffee so good luck if you are a caffeine fiend.If you are desperate for a coffee you could try Simple Coffee on Qingdao/Bei lu. It is fairly drinkable but be warned that the cappuccino will be served with fake whipped cream on top. Otherwise there is Cite Coffee on Xi Si Lu. For beer there are plenty of bars to choose from. The famous (in China) Tsingdao beer from Qingdao city on the coast is good.
