Touring Jinan Part II

Chinese Word:  崇高chónggāo
Majestic

If you ever feel homesick…don’t worry even the Wal-Mart’s in China have the Great Value brand but be prepared to pay a higher price!

Jinan is truly a majestic place with the perfect balance between the modern and natural world.
(Da Ming Hu 大明湖)
大明湖 is  the largest lake in Jinan. The name is literally translated as “lake of the great splendor”.


A ladies morning hike on the gold chicken mountain 金鸡陵
This Mountain is located right next to the Shandong University of Finance’s campus. Many of the residents of Jinan will climb this mountain every day. The residents have the local custom of shouting and singing from the top of the mountain. On my morning runs I can often hear their shouting cascading down. On the top of the mountain you will even find people practicing their tai chi.
