Those who have never been to Shandong are able to enjoy most of Shandong’s must-see destinations such as Taishan Mountain, the Yellow River and get to know Confucianism during Shandong Week at the Expo.

Shandong week, which kicked off on July 8 , is scheduled to end on July 12.

As part of Shandong week, 27 intangible cultural items featuring unique qualities and reputations are showcased. Tourists are able to enjoy the practices of inner painting, Lu brocade and Taishan Mountain shadow puppet on the site.

Besides showing cultural essentials, Shandong seized this opportunity to show visitors its economic achievements.

Technologies developed and products made in Shandong can be seen everywhere at the Expo—the advanced technologies provided by Yantai-based Dongfang Electronics Co Ltd safeguard the power supply of the event while Chevrolet Epica cars produced by Shanghai GM-Dongyue in Yantai are official Expo vehicles.

Qingdao-based Haier Group provides LED screen system for the Italian pavilion and a complete set of home appliances for the America pavilion and the working area of the New Zealand pavilion.

The latest achievement of rapid transit vehicle developed and built by Qingdao-based Sifang of CSR can also been seen in front of the railway pavilion of China.

Tourists can also taste Shandong-nurtured apple, cherry and wine at the Expo.
