Our last day in China. We visited the Yantian International Container Terminals. It is the third largest port in the world. The port is currenly holding 102% density of shipping containers as compared to a regular holdings of 70%. This means the yard is full of empty boxes. Americans and Europeans are not buying as mujch stuff right now. Therefore, we could not take a bus tour of the facility as everything is too crowded. The management invited us to the roof of the 17 storey headquarters building to view the facility.
When we crossed over the border we had to leave China and go through immigration and customs. We got back on the bus and had to go through the entire process again to enter Hong Kong.

I am looking forward to hearing all of the interesting stories of the things you experienced and learned in China!
Congrats on such a great, comprehensive blog! I'm amazed that you were able to balance 12-15 hour days and then compile all the day's activities and experiences in this concise blog. Have a safe trip back!
I'm impressed that the company invited you to the roof to view the facility. most places would probably say "Sorry, we're closed now, come back later," kowing very well you couldn't.
Looking forward to the video presentation Friday. :-)
I love places like this. Going to the Yantian International Container Terminals would have only been a dream of mine. I watch the Discovery Channel when things like this are being shown. Things like this really capture my attention, even though some people do not find the topic as intriguing as I do. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. How many people can say that they have been to the Yantian International Container Terminal, much less aloud access to the roof of the headquarters building to view the facility. This is truly amazing.
Wow, that was pretty awesome they let you view the facility. I'm happy that you got the opportunity to do such a thing. I would love to go over seas and have the chance to enjoy the visit and view.
