The Shandong province, where are volunteer projects are based, is located on the eastern edge of the North China Plain. The Shandong peninsula is home to some of Chinas best ports, located along the peninsulas rocky, indented coast. The hilly countryside produces an abundant amount of fruit while fishing is the most important industry along the coast.

With a history of more than 5,000 years, Shandong is considered one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. Shandong has also been the home of a large number of historical figures, including Confucius, the great thinker and educator from China.

Shandong Province is also considered the birthplace of China’s pottery, porcelain and silk. Throughout the province the tourist can find traditional items like the clocks and watches of Yantai, the porcelain of Zibo, the kites of Weifang, the shell-carving and beer of Qingdao host of the 2008 Olympics sailing events.

There are daily flights from Beijing to Yantai, less than an hour, costing less than $80. Weekend excursions can be arranged to visit the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and Tiananmen Square.
