Qiqifa Tea City
Qiqifa Tea City is a national AA-level tourist attraction.
Shandong Qiqifa Grand Market dominates the area north of Jinan and within the northern ring road, situated in the Yellow River Economic Development Zone in Qihe County — the region with the highest density of expressways in China. It stretches from the Beijing-Fuzhou Expressway in the west to the Guoke Golf Villas in the east, borders the under-construction Qingdao-Yinchuan Expressway in the north, and connects to National Highway 308 in the south. To its east lies the under-construction Gaishi Logistics Park, ensuring convenient goods distribution. The market is just 11 kilometers from downtown Jinan, three hours from Qingdao Port, and exports can reach Japan and South Korea within three days. With the continuous urban development of Jinan, the district’s locational advantages have become increasingly prominent. In addition to the existing Yellow River Bridge and the under-construction North Grand Ring Bridge and Jiyang Yellow River Bridge, the Jianbang Yellow River Bridge and a cross-river tunnel are also planned, with completion expected in two to three years. These projects will facilitate seamless traffic flow across the river, effectively integrating both sides of the Yellow River and gradually transforming it into an “inner-city river” scenic area for Jinan. The concept of “five routes crossing the river” has been highlighted in this year’s provincial government work report, underscoring that Jinan’s “northward expansion strategy” has entered a substantive implementation phase — further highlighting the project’s uniquely superior location. Nestled in northern Jinan and radiating nationwide, the area stands to benefit enormously from the momentum of Jinan’s northward push, making the upgrade of the Yellow River Economic Development Zone all but inevitable. Shandong Qiqifa Grand Market is poised for substantial value appreciation. The local county party committee and government are fully committed to advancing this project, positioning it as a key initiative in establishing Qihe as a satellite city of Jinan.
