Jinan, China
|
Jinan (济南) is a long story, so give it some time. It’s best to do your research and decide beforehand where you want to stay and how you want to get around. Otherwise you’ll end up in sea of congestion, traffic, and confusion.
There are simply countless great places to eat, play, and explore in Jinan. Once you’ve found a few reliable watering holes, you won’t feel too alienated by China’s odd growing pains. You can then spread your wings and do some shopping in some of Jinan’s bustling shopping centres throughout the city. After exploring super-modern highrise department stores and underground malls you can stumble through old alleys and get to know how the Chinese fill their shelves.
