When most Chinese people still knew little about chateaus, the city of Yantai in Shandong province saw an increasing number of European-style chateaus along its 100-km coastline. |
Yantai has a long history of wine. Zhang Bishi, a patriotic overseas Chinese, established the first wine company in China in 1892, namely Changyu Pioneer Wine Co, launching a new era of industrialized wine production in China and making Yantai the birthplace of China's wine industry. |
According to the 12th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Yantai’s Wine Industry, by 2015, a 500,000-mu (33,333.33 hectares) wine grape base will be built, and the wine output is expected to reach 500,000 kiloliters. |
