Have you ever been to Ji'Nan? I went there several times. Usually I went there with my parents by bus. I think it's a really beautiful city. I fell in love with it when I first traveled there. It has many nice places, such as Qianfo Mountain, Daming Lake, Baotu Spring Park, etc. Arid if you go to the zoo, you can see many kinds of animals.
Traffic there is fine, buses and taxis can take you everywhere, and the drivers are polite and friendly.
