After the torch relay to Yantai Sports Park, it will end its relay activities in Yantai and transfer to Weihai, the next stop. Among them, Yantai delivered it in 3 hours. Yantai has a very long history, and it is one of the earliest areas where human beings thrive. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, three expeditions to the East left footprints in Yantai. Up to now, Zhifu Island has left some remains, such as "First Emperor's Road" and "Two Views on Carving Stones". Yantai is also the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. In the Tang Dynasty, Dengzhou in Yantai was one of the four major ports. Japan sent envoys of the Tang Dynasty 13 times and landed in Zhifu for the first time. Yantai is also one of the cradles of modern industry in China. The earliest brewery and clock factory in China and the earliest cannery and brewery in Shandong all appeared in Yantai. Yantai has beautiful scenery, and the East Fort Seaside Scenic Area is one of its representatives. The third scenic spot faces the sea, with winding coastline, clear water, rugged rocks and beautiful scenery. It was once praised as "a sea area comparable to the Mediterranean coast" by the World Tourism Organization. Route Map and Time of Weihai Torch Relay: After the Olympic torch relay from Yantai, it will be sent to Weihai by special bus along Wei Yan Expressway for further relay. Starting from Chengshan Sports Square, the relay will take 2 hours in Weihai. In the evening, Weihai will hold a celebration. Weihai was named after the thirty-first year of Ming Hongwu (1398) to prevent the Japanese invasion and establish Ahava. Weihai has 2 national scenic spots, 3 provincial scenic spots and 5 1 cultural relics protection units. There are Liu Gongdao, the birthplace of China's first navy in modern times, Chengshantou, the "end of heaven" visited by Qin Shihuang in the east, and Shengjing Mountain, the birthplace of Quanzhen Sect in China. When we talk about Weihai now, people always think of many "business cards" of this city, such as coastal open cities, ecological garden cities, environmental protection model cities and human settlements model cities. In 2006, Lotte Leisure Sports Park, the first large-scale sports theme park in Weihai, well explained the connotation of these "business cards". This is the end of the Beijing Olympic torch relay at Weihai Station. Qingdao Torch Relay Route Map and Time: On July 24th, the Olympic torch will be relayed in Qingdao for 6 hours. 138 The torchbearer will personally lift the Olympic torch.

Qingdao is the co-host city of the Beijing Olympic Games, and the sailing competition of the Olympic Games will be held here. The relay in Qingdao starts from the Olympic Sailing Base and ends at Qingdao Port. In the Olympic Sailing Competition, Qingdao put forward the slogan of "Olympic Games at Sea", and people are expected to enjoy the unique grand occasion of the relay race at sea. "Sea Olympics" is not a fantasy. The newly-built Olympic Sailing Base has become a new attraction in Qingdao. The base is located on the bank of Fushan Bay in Qingdao East New District, with beautiful scenery. The famous scenic spot in the city "Yandao Autumn Tide" is located in the south corner of Yaner Island in the base. The Olympic Sailing Competition will hold an "award ceremony at sea", which is also an innovative move of Qingdao. In the past, awards were held on the shore, but Qingdao Olympic Sailing Committee specially built two offshore platforms, each 1000 square meters, and put the award ceremony at sea. The award ceremony at sea is based on the sailboats used by the winning athletes, allowing the athletes to share brilliant moments with the sailboats they accompany day and night. The Olympic torch relay will also pass through Qingdao's landmark attractions, such as Zhanqiao, Qingdao Port, Donghai East Road, Haier Road and Hong Kong East Road, which are all related to the sea. Through the hand-in-hand transmission, people can fully appreciate the beauty and prosperity, vitality and vitality of this coastal city.

As early as the primitive society, human beings lived here and created their own culture. It is an important birthplace of "Longshan Culture". According to the Handbook of World History published by Oxford University, Rizhao was the earliest city in Asia from 3500 BC to 2000 BC. Rizhao relies on the natural "lagoon" at Wanpingkou by the sea to build the Olympic Water Park. The so-called lagoon is a harbor that sinks into the land by the sea. After planning and excavation, Rizhao City built this large water park. Today, it is a world-class water sports base and a good place for tourism and leisure.

Linyi City is a famous old revolutionary base area. During the war years, the people of Yimeng made great contributions and sacrifices to resist foreign aggression and the victory of the China Revolution, and 65,438+10,000 outstanding sons and daughters of Yimeng joined the battlefield. This glorious revolutionary achievement has been recorded in the history books by the rolling ranks, the touching scenes of sending children to send Lang to join the army, and the touching deeds and battles of Yimeng Hongsao. The burning Olympic torch, while conveying dreams, will also relive that period of history with the Yimeng people, reminding people to cherish the happy life now and inspire the strength of future progress.

In Qufu, the torch relay will last 1 hour for 30 minutes, with 50 torchbearers participating. Qufu is the hometown of Confucius, a famous thinker, politician, educator and founder of Confucianism in the late Spring and Autumn Period. It is famous at home and abroad for its long history and splendid ancient oriental culture. Judging from Confucius' life experience, he was born in Nishan, grew up in Queli, established teaching in Xingtan, served in Ludu and was buried in Si, leaving many activities in Qufu. At present, there are 1 12 key cultural relics protection units in Qufu, including 4 national key cultural relics protection units. The most famous is the "Three Holes", that is, the Confucius Temple, which is known as the treasure house of calligraphy art in China, the first Confucius House in the world, and the largest family cemetery in the world. These cultural relics protection units have also been included in the world historical and cultural heritage. Adhering to the three concepts of "Green Olympics, High-tech Olympics and People's Olympics", the Beijing Olympic Games passed the Olympic torch to the "Holy City of the East", which made people feel the passion, the rich flavor of China's traditional culture and the elegance of Shandong's culture and etiquette. Tai 'an Torch Relay Roadmap Tai 'an Torch Relay Time: On July 25th, the Olympic torch will be passed from Qufu to Tai 'an. Arrive at Taishan Square in the evening and hold a celebration. The torch relay lasted for 2 hours here, with 69 torchbearers participating. In this relay, the most exciting thing is that the Olympic torch will climb to the top of Mount Tai. Mount Tai, also known as Dongyue, ranks first among the five mountains. The most fascinating thing about Mount Tai is that it is the only famous mountain in the history of China that was closed to meditation by the emperor. At the same time, Mount Tai is also a place where Buddhism and Taoism flourished, and it is a mountain worshipped by emperors in past dynasties. The natural landscape of Mount Tai is majestic, magnificent, thick and beautiful. There are also many cultural landscapes. There are more than 20 ancient buildings and more than 2,000 historical and cultural relics in the whole mountain, and there are countless inscriptions and inscriptions recited by literati in past dynasties. Walking into Mount Tai is like walking into culture and history. When the torch is passed here, we can also enjoy the profound China culture while climbing Mount Tai. Other mountains are short under the sky ... Jinan Torch Relay Route Map Jinan Torch Relay Time: July 26th, the Olympic torch will be passed in Jinan. On the same day, the departure ceremony was held in quancheng square. We arrived at the provincial gymnasium square in the evening and held an evening celebration. 233 torchbearers will take part in the relay in Jinan. The torch relay in Jinan lasts for 7 hours and 30 minutes, so the representative contents of this city have ample opportunities to show to the world. Jinan has the reputation of "Spring City" and is famous for its springs all over the world. Every family springs, and every family hangs on the tree. In the past, people in Spring City had a harmonious and warm life scene with clear spring water flowing in front of their doors, children playing in the water and women washing gauze. In my opinion, this is a beautiful spring landscape painting. There are seventy-two springs in Jinan, Baotu Spring, Black Tiger Spring, Pearl Spring, Liu Xuquan and Jinxian Spring. Just seeing these names is enough to arouse people's infinite reverie and yearning. Baotu Spring, also known as "the first spring in the world", attracts countless Chinese and foreign tourists here every year to see the wonders of the spring gushing. There are springs and lakes in Quancheng. Daming Lake has excellent scenery. "Lotus on four sides and willow on three sides, one city with mountains and half a city with lakes" is about the scenery of Huming Lake. Beyond the Spring Lake, there are mountains. Qianfo Mountain, called Mount Li in ancient times, is also called Shungeng Mountain. According to legend, when Yu Shundi was a citizen, he worked under Lishan Mountain, hence the name. Later, he was named Qianfo Mountain because the Sui Dynasty built Qianfo Temple on the mountain. Following the footsteps of the Olympic torch relay, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the most beautiful scenery in Quancheng. In 2009, Shandong will hold the 11th National Games, and Jinan is the main venue of the National Games. Nowadays, the construction of venues and facilities has been comprehensively promoted, and the beautiful Olympic Sports Center building has presented a beautiful outline.
