Jinan, which means "south of the Ji River", was named after a river that has disappeared in 1852, when the Yellow River changed its course. The city was formerly written as Tsinan in the Wade-Giles romanization. Human habitation in the area goes back thousands of years, with evidence such as the Neolithic Longshan Culture discovered in 1928.

Jinan was the capital of the Kingdom of Jibei during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). Excavation of Han Dynasty tombs has yielded artifacts ranging from funerary masks to pillows and swords, all crafted from jade.
Today Jinan is a modern city. It played host to the 11th All China Games in 2009. The people of Jinan speak a Jinan dialect of Mandarin which is not easily understood by speakers of standard Mandarin. The city is a railroad hub and a market for agricultural products. It also has a number of industries including textile, steel and chemical.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
