In order to maintain a happy, positive attitude during your stay in Jinan, I suggest staying close to the mountains and lakes. That way it is much easier to escape the traffic, congestion, and confusion that generally goes hand-in-hand with big Chinese cities.

The Han Lin has a grand clean appearance outside and in with art deco columns throughout the main lobby. There's an interesting histrionically colored dragon painting at the end of the hall as well as plastic flowers all over the place.

Train and airplane ticketing, internet access, as well as laundry and business services are available.

Prices start at 460 yuan for standard and single rooms. Business rooms, which include a computer with internet access and a fax machine are 700 yuan. If you negotiate you should be able to get the price down at least ten percent.

Qingdao Tai Qing Taoism Temple is the essence of Mount Lao scenic spot. 

This is the most famous taoism temple in north China, and has a history of more than 2100 years old.

It is believed that Lao Zi, student of Confusious, has formed Taoism philosophy in West Han dynasty and soon after, his fellowships arrived in Mount Lao to live and continue their self cultivation. 

Once you arrive here and walk in this atmosphere you will instantly feel the tranquility and peaceful mindset within yourself. 

Here you will witness the marvellous combination of nature and human being. 

There is also a taoism restaurant which serves tasty food.
