Jinan, situated inland the Shandong province, Mt. Tai to the south and the Yellow River in the north, is a sub-provincial city and the capital of Shandong Province in the east of People's Republic of China. Besides, it is also the political, economic, cultural, scientific, educational, technological and financial center of Shandong province.


Jinan literally means "south of the Ji (Waters)". Ji is the old Ji River, which flowed to the north of the city, however, the Ji River disappeared in 1852 when the Yellow River changed its course northwards and took over its bed. Jinan is also referred to by the nickname "City of Springs" (Chinese: 泉城; pinyin: Quán Chéng), because of the many artesian springs in the urban city center and its surroundings.
