On January 15th (the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in the lunar calendar), Aladdin’s Turkish restaurant was full of popularity, and Aladdin, the “son-in-law of Fuzhou” from Turkey, was entertaining customers.
Plates with intricate and beautiful patterns, colorful glazed lamps, murals full of elements from the Western Regions... Aladdin Turkish Restaurant is located on Wusi Road, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. The exotic food and decorations in the store are popular among citizens and tourists.
In 1995, Aladdin came to Fuzhou University from Turkey at his own expense to study abroad, majoring in Chinese and international trade.
After graduating, he settled in Fuzhou, married a wife and had children, settled down, opened a restaurant, and founded Fuzhou Aladdin Import and Export Co., Ltd. Fuzhou has long been Aladdin's second "home".
He said that the handicrafts in the restaurant are all brought from Turkey, and this place is a small exhibition hall of Turkish handicrafts. "At the same time, it also closely connects my two 'homes' together."
This year is Aladdin's 28th Spring Festival in Fuzhou.
