Jinan is the capital of Shandong Province. It is named because it is located south of "Jishui" (the ancient road is occupied by the present-day Yellow River), one of the four ancient rivers.

It is adjacent to Mount Tai in the south and across the Yellow River in the north. It is located at the junction of low mountains and hills in central and southern Shandong and alluvial plains in northwest Shandong. The terrain is high in the south and low in the north.

The main rivers in Jinan include the Yellow River and Xiaoqing River.

Lakes include Daming Lake, Baiyun Lake, etc.

Jinan has a long history and is a famous historical and cultural city announced by the State Council.

Extended information: The reason why Jinan has so many springs is because of its unique topography and geological structure.

Jinan is located in the heart of Shandong Province. It is sandwiched between the low mountains and hills of central and southern Shandong and the alluvial plains of northwest Shandong. It is a gentle monocline structure with a height difference of more than 500 meters. The topography of the urban area naturally follows suit.

The terrain is high in the south and low in the north, which is conducive to the collection of surface water and groundwater into the urban area.

Jinan is located in the mid-latitude zone and has a temperate monsoon climate due to the influence of solar radiation, atmospheric circulation and geographical environment.

It is characterized by distinct monsoons and four distinct seasons, with drought and little rain in spring, warm and rainy summers, cool and dry autumn, and cold and snowy winters.
