Zibo is in the center of Shandong Province, neighboring Taishan Mountain in the south and backing the Yellow River to the north. It is also bordered by hot coastal tourist cities, Qingdao, Yantai, and Weihai to the east, and the capital city of the province, Jinan to the west. With a long history and culture, Zibo used to be the political center of Shandong Province for nearly 2,000 years and once served as the capital of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period (770 - 476 BC). Because of the earliest rise of Cuju (a kick-ball game) in Qi State, Zibo was recognized as the origin of world football by FIFA. A large number of exquisite cultural relics were also unearthed, most of which were displayed in Zibo Museum.
Zibo is rich in tourism resources. In the south, there are many forest parks and spectacular caves. You can visit ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368 - 1912) and time-honored shops in Zhoucun Ancient Commercial City as well as appreciate fine ceramics in the Chinese Ceramic Museum.
