Jilin and Shandong have a special bond as many of Jilin's residents are migrants from Shandong or their descendants.

Themed "Those from Shandong are welcome to tour around Shandong", the event was part of Shandong's ongoing promotion in northeast China.

Zhang Mingchi, deputy head of the Shandong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, said on the occasion that the northeast China promotion, Shandong's first cross-province promotion since China lifted the ban on cross-province group tours earlier this month, reflected the importance and high hope Shandong attaches to the northeast region, especially Jilin, as an important source of tourists.
