Linyi.

Linyi is a prefecture-level city in the south of Shandong, the largest in the province by area and by population, and it takes its name from the river that runs through it. It stands exactly where the province changes: the Shandong hills fall away to the north and the alluvial plain of the Yi and Shu rivers opens to the south, with the ranges of Yishan, Mengshan and Nishan lying in the higher country. The Yi, the Shu and the Si all rise there and go on to the East China Sea. The seventh census of 2020 counted 11.02 million residents across three urban districts and nine counties. An earthquake northeast of the city in 1668, estimated at magnitude 8.5, remains the largest recorded in eastern China.
