The 2025 Guoyuan V3 Jinan Open, held in Jinan from Oct 5 to 18, features high-level, thrilling competitions and a range of cultural and interactive events.

The "tennis culture tour", launched on Oct 7, is designed to foster cultural exchanges and highlight the city's unique cultural charm.

During the tour, Chinese and international tennis players visited the Jinan World's Best Spring Scenic Area, one of Jinan's most iconic landmarks. They explored key attractions such as Baotu Spring, experienced the city's rich poetry heritage, and sampled signature tea brewed with spring water, all while taking in the stunning scenery.

Reflecting on the experience, an Indian tennis player said, "It's an incredible experience. The scenic area has a history of over 3,000 years and is truly breathtaking. Jinan feels like home to me."

The complementary activities aim to encourage broader public participation in tennis and showcase Jinan on the international stage, demonstrating the city's prowess in hosting world-class sporting events while promoting cultural engagement.
