Longyan, China is where our Little Cupcake is
currently living with her foster family.
We can't wait to go to China, but we know it
will still take a while so while we get ready to bring her home we continue to
learn as much as we can about Longyan as well as anything related to Chinese
culture, traditions, celebrations, foods ... you get the point. So here is some information about Longyan...
information we plan to share with our daughter someday :0)
Longyan in Chinese Pinyin: Lóng

Longyan is in a mountainous, forested area in the Fujian Province (also called Min for short) is in southeastern China. The province is about 46,000 square miles in area and much of it covered by subtropical vegetation (about 40 percent of the province is covered in forest) Only about 20 percent of Fujian's land area is suitable for agriculture, but that portion is highly fertile, The north, west and south mountains form its border, while to the east of the province overlooks (some 100 miles across the straits) Taiwan.
Longyan has a population of 2.87 million and there is a lot of
diversity of traditions and values.
Longyan also has its own dialect (It’s not easy to understand
for Mandarin speakers).
Large ethnic group of people better known as “Hakka People"
takes up 75% of Longyan entire population.

Longyan Food: The dishes in Longyan are taking Hakka
dishes as its main body, which stresses on hot, mild taste instead of cold. The
more outstanding feature of Longyan dishes are aromatic and spicy. yeah, we can eat spicy!
