blending literature and history to melt the world.
-- Wang Zhen Quancheng notes
thirty years (1904) in June, the ancient city of Ji'nan, which has a history of more than two thousand years, has opened the first train, and the people of Ji'nan have come to the west to witness the strange iron "monster".
Ji'nan was not frightened. He was the first inland city to be open to the outside world at that time. On the west side of the city, he raised his own sovereign commercial port area on the west side of the city. At the moment, the Ji'nan ocean, the old words, the comprador organizations along the street, the important trade center of the North laid the position. The planning and construction of the commercial port area also became the model of China and the West in the history of modern Chinese urban development.
a hundred years, the west wind and the East are changing, but the commercial port area has not been able to keep bright, but has lost its way. In the new century, Ji'nan is thinking about how to regenerate the business port area that contains the spirit of place in Ji'nan, and whether the commercial port can revive or even surpass dreams. As the leader of the Chinese city operation, the new century, as the leader of the Chinese city operation, also has the promise of "merging the world and the dream of achievement" in the commercial port of Ji'nan.
