The widely-spred mineral resources have large reserves and varieties, including coal, iron, copper, marble, granite and so on. Jining is one of the eight largest coal bases in China, with a proved reserve of over 20 billion tons. Jining also has a reserve of over 13 million tons of rare earth. It is one of the areas rich in freshwater in Shandong Province. Weishan Lake, one of the ten largest freshwater-lakes in China, has a reserve of 3 billion cubic meters and covers an area of 1,260 sq km, connecting the Yellow River in the north and the Yangtze River in the south. Jining is also rich in underground water. The total freshwater in Jining accounts for one sixth of that of Shandong Province.
Jining has a history of seven thousand years’ civilization. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the five greatest saints, namely, Confucius, Mencius, Yanzi, Zengzi, Kongji and the earliest ancestors of Chinese, Fuxi, Nvwa, Huang Di, Shao Hao, were all born in Jining. In the city’s territory there are seven cultural relics under the first-class state protection, 50 under the provincial protection, and hundreds under the municipal protection. Among them, Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion and Confucius Cemetery have been listed by UNESCO as the World Cultural Heritage. These splendid Chinese traditional cultures have drawn numerous Chinese both from home and abroad to come here paying respects to the ancestors. The night scenery of jining
