My home city Shantou is famous for its needlework like crocheting, embroidery and knitting. I am introducing how our people knit, embroider and crochet, and what their handcrafts look like.

About my home city
My home city is Shantou (Swatow in the dialect). The metropolitan region is known as Chaozhou (Teochew in the dialect) or Chaoshan which has a population of 13 millions and is located in South China. Chaozhou literally means the land being created by the tide from the Pacific Ocean which is also why I call myself Tide. The seaport and commercial center here is Shantou, it is a beautiful harbor city, located on the China coast 150 miles north east of Hong Kong.
