Jinan[a] is the capital of the province of Shandong in East China.[4] With a population of 9.2 million, it is one of the largest cities in Shandong in terms of population. The area of present-day Jinan has played an important role in the history of the region from the earliest beginnings of civilization and has evolved into a major national administrative, economic, and transportation hub.[5] The city has held sub-provincial administrative status since 1994.[5][6] Jinan is often called the "City of Springs" for its famous 72 artesian springs.[7]
Jinan is one of the top 35 cities in the world for scientific research as tracked by the Nature Index according to the Nature Index 2023 Science Cities.[8] The city is home to several major universities, including Shandong, Shandong Normal, Shandong Jianzhu, University of Jinan, Qilu University of Technology, Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Shandong University of Finance and Economics.[9] Notably, Shandong University is one of China's most prestigious universities as a member of the Double First-Class Construction.
