Jinan Zoo

On the campus of Shandong Transport University, this is a museum dedicated to the history of automobiles.

A riverside park and garden on the northern bank of the Yellow River, this is at the most northern end of the city proper. The river can be crossed via a busy and old-fashioned floating bridge to a small village beside the park. A beach area along the river is busy with locals fishing and barbecuing in good weather.

A short walk along the Xiluo River that flows into the Xiaoqing River, this small park contains the tomb of Yuan dynasty poet Zhang Yanghao and four of his family members.

A historic steel railway bridge across the Yellow River, completed in 1913. It is a nationally protected cultural site and can be viewed from the riverbank.

A museum showing the history and development of the Qingdao-Jinan railway.

Includes exhibitions on the history of letter writing, ancient and modern letter writing, and the letter writing of famous people of Shandong. Very little here for non-Chinese speakers apart from a collection of Chinese postcards although the old colonial building (formerly Jinan Telegraph Office) still has original features and is worth a quick look around.
