As spring is getting stronger, the 2024 Shandong Spring Festival Gala has arrived as scheduled, with its unrivaled elegance and charm, showing the endless charm of Shandong’s hospitality and good food. This is a intersection of culture and emotion, as well as a feast of fusion of tradition and modernity.
Shandong has been a land of etiquette since ancient times, and hospitality is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Today, this profound cultural heritage combined with the youthful atmosphere of the times has given birth to the unique "Hospitable Shandong" spirit. On the stage of this year's Shandong Spring Festival Gala, the Shandong Spring Festival Gala vividly demonstrated the hospitable, honest and kind character of the Shandong people through various art forms, such as songs and dances, sketches, sitcoms, etc.
And "Good Shandong" is a highlight of this Spring Festival Gala. "Hospitable Shandong, good products Shandong", hospitality is true sincerity, and good products rely on quality. Shandong is a well-known agricultural province in the country. Shandong's high-quality agricultural products such as Yantai apples and Shouguang vegetables, fresh agricultural products make people feel Shandong. People's love for their hometown and deep affection for the land can also feel a deep nostalgia, allowing more people to feel the simplicity of Shandong. Shandong is home to outstanding people, abundant resources and abundant people. Mount Tai stands here, the Yellow River flows into the sea here, and Confucius was born here. There are also mouth-watering delicacies here, such as Zibo's barbecue, Liaocheng's croaking, and countless authentic Shandong delicacies. How can we not make our hearts want it, and how can we not make tourists homesick and fall in love with their hometown. "Being at the top of the mountain, you can see all the small mountains at a glance." What kind of pride is this when looking into the distance from the highest peak? This is the joy after going through untold hardships. “Hospitable Shandong and good Shandong” did not come out of thin air, but were the work and creation of the vast number of Shandong people.
There are countless Shandong delicacies and a dazzling array of Shandong delicacies. The "Shandong delicacies" that are full of human smoke have opened people's taste buds and opened people's hearts. I believe that more people will enter the land of Qilu, soak up the charm of Qilu, and experience "hospitality" in person The sincere charm of "Shandong Good Products Shandong".
"Hospitable Shandong" shows the kind-hearted hospitality of Shandong people; "Haopin Shandong" interprets Shandong people's "quality first". The two complement each other, promote each other, and jointly create a well-known "Shandong brand".

They are Internet tycoon Mr. Dong, traditional Chinese medicine girl Huang Qihui, Shouguang Xinnongren Duoduo, and roller skating champion Qin Yuqing. They use their voices and influence to recommend "Hospitable Shandong and Good Food Shandong" to the world, and show the new atmosphere of Shandong in the new era from the perspective of youth.

"Hospitality to Shandong" has a long history and is deeply rooted in Qilu culture. It embodies the grandeur of Qilu culture and the pride of the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. What comes across is the pride of Qilu's landscape and the enthusiasm of Shandong people. Another highlight of this Shandong Spring Festival Gala is the three foreign wives who came from afar. They took root in Qilu because of their love and became part of the big Shandong family.
