The Facebook and Twitter accounts, both entitled "Incredible Jinan", will help overseas audiences get to know the city by posting the city's latest news. Some fan events for social media will also be organized to get more overseas people know the city.

The official "Hi Jinan" bilingual WeChat account is designed to help readers discover the beauty of the city and to tell its stories with charming pictures and touching language.

The website, entitled "Jinan, a City of Springs", will feature news stories about the city's economy and culture. It has designed themed specials for important events, such as "70 years on, Jinan on path of fast development" and "2019 foreign media focus on Jinan".

The comprehensive platform is expected to further open up the city, promote local tourism development, and attract more foreign investment.
