Find Hotels in Jinan, China

Local foods are in abundance, and differ from other parts of China. Local people still act in local ways, not rustic, but less "internationalized" than in larger cities. Much growth can be seen in tall buildings, which everyone comments on. See the old temples, climb Taishan Mountain, visit the many springs. Local people are friendly, so smile and be friendly too.

The thing I really like about jinan is the cool fresh air and cool clear water. Jinan, is probably one of the very few places where it's not packed with people. You'll get a sense of serenity, walking along the big lake, or watching kids play in the river. My top 3 fav places: damning lake, baotuquan and foshan.

Taxi fare is cheap.

everytime you go from one place to another place by bus, it cost you cny1.00. it is cheap if you are lazy to walk by yourself.

Every building lit up and the fountain was a wonderful sight as well. Walking along the river at night was a pleasant experience as well. Taxi's can be difficult to get, especially around rush hour. Best to either take the city bus or walk at that time. We foiund the people to be very polite and several had asked my wife to have their photos taken with her.

Most of them are helpful towards my request for photo taking as l was alone there. The traffic though was a little messy but still under control where cars still gives way to jay walkers. They still have great respect to the traffic police and laws in JINAN. Most important to be mentioned is the cleanliness of the city centre and also alleys where the people there have great environment sense where litters are rarely found. Food and beverages are everywhere but the price is not as economical though. Maybe about 10% cheaper to Singapore dollars.
