Rizhao strengthens Central Asian ties

Rizhao, a port city in East China's Shandong province, is welcoming more than 300 government and business leaders from China and five Central Asian nations for a cooperation forum in the city on Tuesday.

Rizhao is one of the first places in the country to see the golden hues of sunrise because of its geographical location in East China. Located on the Yellow Sea, the city in East China's Shandong province is one of the eastern starting points of the new Eurasian Continental Bridge.
