More than 92 million people call Shandong home, but an annual influx of domestic tourists considerably add to that number. Most flock to this region for Qingdao, China's most attractive coastal city and best known for its beer and Bavarian architecture, the well-preserved town of Qufu, home of the philosopher Confucius, and Mount Tai, the most revered of all China's sacred mountains. Business is booming in Shandong, so expect even more visitors in the future.
