The Shandong Province is the second most important province in China. It is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, on China’s eastern coastline, next to the Bohai Sea, Korean Bay and Yellow Sea. The Shandong Province has one of the most developed transportation systems in the country with over 1,875 miles of express highways. Shandong is also very rich in natural resources and is considered one of China’s major agricultural production bases. Its geographic location and highly developed highway system, position the Shandong province as a hub for international trade.
