Why was Laiwu City merged into Jinan?

First of all, because Jinan's economy is developing rapidly, merging Laiwu can better develop Jinan and at the same time promote the development of Laiwu. This is a society where the jungle prevails. If it falls behind, it will be annexed by other cities in order to achieve further and better development. Secondly, Jinan and Laiwu are not very far apart. The centers are only about ten or twenty kilometers apart. This is a major prerequisite for the merger.

Laiwu District, known as "Ying and Mou" in ancient times, is affiliated to Jinan City, Shandong Province. It has won the titles of "National Sanitary City", "National Garden City", "China's Excellent Tourism City" and "National Model City for Double Support". The terrain of Laiwu District is a semicircular basin that is gentle in the south and steep in the north, protruding to the north. It has a temperate monsoon climate with four distinct seasons. Laiwu District has always been a battleground for military strategists. The "Battle of Changshao" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the "Battle of Laiwu" during the War of Liberation all took place here. 55 kinds of minerals have been discovered in Laiwu District, and there are 404 large and small ditches. Famous scenic spots include Laiwu Battle Memorial Hall, Xiangshan, Xueye Reservoir, Longshan, Lu Zuquan, etc.
