What are the special gifts in Jinan?

Jinan, known as the "Spring City" and the capital of Shandong Province, enjoys the title of "Seventy-two Springs" in China because of its numerous springs.

The eight scenic spots in Jinan are world-famous. It is a tourist city and a national historical and cultural city with unique characteristics of "mountains, springs, lakes, rivers and cities".

Jinan's special gifts are:

First, Lu embroidery. Embroidery appeared in Shandong in the Spring and Autumn Period. This is a traditional embroidery process. Although modern machine embroidery is very developed, the traditional way is still very popular and can represent traditional culture. It can be embroidered on clothes or beautiful landscape paintings. Hair embroidery is very good in Lu embroidery and is recognized as a valuable work of art. If you come to Jinan, you can buy a pair of embroidery for your family.

Second, dough modeling. Adding colorful pigments and other materials to glutinous rice flour, carving with bamboo sticks, knives and other shapes, lifelike modeling is very popular and has regional characteristics.

Third, paper cutting. The paper-cut culture in Jinan has also been circulating for a long time. A pair of scissors passed through the hands of working people and were transformed into various rich shapes. It is very memorable to portray the characters in the story with both hands and give them to the elderly at home.
