Jinan, capital of Shandong Province on China's east coast, is the province's political, economic and cultural center.

Location in the western part of the center of Shandong Province, Jinan is at the juncture of the Beijing-Shanghai and Qingdao-Jinan railways. Nearby to the south is Mount Tai, officially recognized by the United Nations as part of the world's natural and cultural heritage.

Thanks to its long history, Jinan has been designated by the State Council as a famous historical and cultural city. As Jinan boasts a number of natural springs amid picturesque scenery, it is known as the "City of Spring". The city tree of Jinan is the willow, and the city flower is the lotus.

hi i have to travel from anyang to jinan pls guide how to travel
Dear anil, There is no direct train from Anyang to Jinan, but you could take a long distance bus from Anyang bus station(安阳长途汽车站), located at Heping Road (安阳市和平路西段). The bus sets off at 7:30am, 9:00am, 10:30am, 12:00pm, 14:00pm, 15:00pm and 17:50pm. It takes about 4.5-5 hours and it costs about CNY100/US$16 per person. I suggest you'd better check the details at the bus station. Lussie Lu Replied on 2013-05-15
