Mindful meoweler tips

Don't say 'meow' to greet cats!

In Tangshan, it's considered rude to say 'meow' to greet locals, as it's a slang term for 'prostitute' and may offend them.

Visit the Earthquake Memorial Square

This is the site of the devastating 1976 Tangshan earthquake, where over 240,000 people died. The square serves as a memorial and as a reminder of China's resilience.

Try the local specialties

Tangshan is famous for its 'guohua' (pottery art) tofu, 'tangshan baozi' (steamed buns), and 'tangshan gou' (fried dough twist). Don't miss out on these tasty treats!
