FEATURED DESTINATIONS
Millions of international visitors travel to China each year to experience its vibrant cities, rich culture and heritage, and adventure and outdoor activities. From ornate religious sites to rejuvenating warm springs and luxury shopping districts, there is an opportunity for cultural immersion at every turn.
JINAN
Jinan, the capital of the Shandong province, while not as internationally recognized as Shanghai or Beijing, is home to many unique attractions with significant cultural and historical value.
Known as the City of Springs – a nod to its many natural springs – Jinan is also an important economic and educational hub. With Shandong Airlines offering connections to many must-see destinations across China, the city is a smart choice and a popular gateway to reach places such as Qufu, the birthplace of Confucius, Qingdao, and Yantai.
There are vibrant markets and plenty of serene beauty in Jinan. The lush Daming Lake is surrounded by beautiful gardens and ancient pavilions. Other popular leisure spots are the Black Tiger Spring, Baotu Spring, and Nine Dragon Spring. For customers with an interest in history, Qianfo Mountain features ancient Buddhist carvings and temples.
Jinan already attracts a significant amount of domestic and regional tourists, and international visitor numbers continue to climb because of its authentic experiences and local culture.
INCHEON
Incheon, located on the west coast of South Korea, serves as a major international hub and gateway, with Incheon International Airport (ICN) consistently ranked among the best airports in the world.
Upon arrival, visitors can explore various attractions, including Incheon Chinatown, the largest of its kind in South Korea, serving up delicious, authentic dishes.
The Songdo International Business District is known for its futuristic architecture and urban planning, featuring highlights such as the Songdo Central Park and the Incheon Bridge.
Incheon is also a perfect base for day trips, with Seoul, the bustling capital, a short train journey away. For high-end shopping and fashion, head to Gangnam in Seoul, roughly 60 – 90 minutes away, depending on traffic. The famous neighbourhood is also a major center for wellness travel, with beauty clinics, health services, and plastic surgery centers.
HONG KONG
Traveling from Shandong Province to Hong Kong provides a fantastic opportunity to package an array of thrilling adventures and cultural experiences in two excellent locations.
Once in Hong Kong, travelers can explore iconic landmarks such as Victoria Peak, the bustling Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, and the vibrant streets of Mong Kok.
Hong Kong’s urban feel and culinary scene are legendary, but it’s the city’s efficient public transport system that makes it so easy to explore.
Aside from its many landmarks and cultural sites, there are shopping districts and beautiful parks. Customers can use local travel cards for seamless travel on the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway (MTR), buses, trams, and even at certain restaurants and shops.
Another highlight is Hong Kong’s delicious street food scene. Customers can fill up on dim sum and nibble on egg tarts from local eateries.
Hong Kong also has excellent street markets, where visitors can shop for souvenirs. Popular outdoor activities include hikes on Dragon’s Back and trips to Lantau Island.
With seamless connections provided by Shandong Airlines, there’s every reason to add a stop-over in one of the world’s leading urban cities.
