The location of Shandong Province

Shandong (山东; Shāndōng) is a province in China.

The name means east of the mountains. Shandong is a coastal province situated by the Bohai Sea to the north and the Yellow Sea to the south. The Yellow River runs through the province.

Main attractions are Qufu (the birthplace of Confucius), Mount Tai (the most climbed mountian in China), Qingdao (nice port city with beaches) and Yantai (holiday city with lots of European buildings). The capital, Jinan, is of limited interest to travellers, except as a transport hub.

[edit] Regions

Shandong is subdivided into 17 prefectures (see the main city for each below under cities), 140 counties and 1,941 townships.
