Tips：

Water adds a special charm and elegance to Jinan. For tourists, the city is worthy of a week-long stay. Visitors can choose to explore the various springs one by one or spend an afternoon strolling in the tree shade by the moat. Jinan is home to Shandong cuisine, one of China’s eight major cuisines, providing more than enough choices when it comes to food.

For the more ambitious explorer, Jinan is an ideal starting point for adventures in more remote nearby regions.

As the provincial capital, Jinan boasts convenient air, railway, and road transportations. By train, it takes only three hours from Jinan to Beijing and two hours to Qingdao, one of the most well-known coastal destinations in northern China. Taishan Mountain, a UNESCO world heritage site, is only 70 kilometers away and features picturesque landscapes and profound cultural heritage.
