Jinan

Located in the northern foothills of Mount Tai massif, Jinan extends across both banks of the Yellow River at an elevation of 23 meters.

The city served as the capital of the Kingdom of Jibei during the Han dynasty and later became a central point for trade along ancient routes.

Jinan maintains 72 natural springs within its urban boundaries, leading to the development of water-centered traditions and architectural elements throughout the city.

The central districts of Jinan connect through an extensive public transportation network, including subway lines that link major educational and commercial areas.

Natural artesian springs emerge within the city center, creating pools and waterways that maintain consistent temperatures throughout all four seasons.
