Shandong

The cradle of Qi-Lu culture, where Mount Tai, the Confucius Mansion and the seaside city of Qingdao stand side by side, making a northern province rich in mountains, sea and heritage.

Shandong lies on the eastern coast of North China. The Shandong Peninsula extends into the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, the center holds the Central Shandong mountains, and the Yellow River empties into the sea at Dongying. This is the birthplace of Confucian culture, and both the Three Confucian Sites in Qufu and Mount Tai are World Heritage sites. Coastal cities such as Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai and Rizhao are known for beer, seafood and seaside scenery, and Longkou Nanshan and Rushan–Haiyang are good for holidays. Weifang's kites, the old city of Qingzhou, the Yimeng Mountains near Linyi, the Yellow River Estuary wetlands in Dongying and the ancient town of Taierzhuang each have their own appeal. Summer and autumn are the best seasons for the coast. Jinan and Qingdao are the main air and high-speed rail gateways.
