In summer, the fan can drive away summer heat and help being cooling breeze. Since 
old ages, the Chinese fan has been carrying artistic and unique national style.
 
The fan first appeared in China, about 3,000 years ago, in the Shang and Zhou 
dynasties. There are many kinds of Chinese fan, such as paper fan, silk fan, palm fan, 
feather fan, bamboo-knitted fan, etc. Regarding the shapes of the fan, there is 
rectangular, round, pentagonal, hexagonal and sunflower-shaped fans.
 
Writing poems and drawing pictures on the cover of a fan is another characteristic of 
the Chinese fan. From ancient times till now, many famous Chinese calligraphers 
and painters enjoyed themselves in doing so, which has left us a lot of excellent works.
 
The folding fan is the most common in China. It is convenient to carry and handsome 
to look at. Hangzhou is the most famous place for producing fans in China. The frame 
Hangzhou folding fan is usually made of precious materials. The famous black paper 
fan, sandalwood fan and ivory fan are not only the notable products among Chinese 
fans but also famous around the world.
 
But if you would like come to China in summer, you should choose the city like 
Qingdao. Because Qingdao not hot like other cities, also having beautiful beach and
