The Way to the Birthplace of Confucianism

In the eyes of the public, Shandong province is most notable for the sacred mountain of Taishan, the most famous section of Yellow River and Confucius, the greatest ancient Chinese thinker, as indicated in a proverb "there is one mountain, one section of river and one saint in Shandong". As a matter of fact, tourist destinations are much more than the above in Shandong. Qingdao, as one of the most beautiful and clean cities in China, is located in Shandong where tourists could enjoy sunshine, sea and sand. This is a cultural and relaxing tour.
