"Yantai is a beautiful coastal city with a unique charm," Yang Chunya, director of the Media Development Center of China Daily, said at the ceremony.

She expressed hope that the event will help expats learn about the history of Yantai through its apples, wine, scenery, food and culture.

"I also hope that this event gives people a new perspective on Yantai and its unique culture and compels people from around the world to come visit the city."

During the two-day event, expats will visit a series of well-known attractions in Yantai, including the Changyu Wine Culture Museum, the Yantai Mountain Scenic Area, and an apple planting center.
