Day 12 Thursday April 23 2026 Part 1 (Shouguang & Weifang, Shandong) - this post focussed on my group's day visit to the 27th Shouguang Vegetable Expo & Lantern Festival Night April 2026 (April 20 > May 30 2026), this was an impromptu visit (not in my group's travel agenda) & we got the news from a Didi driver that this International Vegetable Expo held  in Shouguang has attracted many visitors hence our reason of visiting even though it was held at a location approx. 61km from Weifang.
