About Laiwu

The history of Laiwu goes back to the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时代chūnqiū shídài), 771 to 403 BCE, when it was the capital of the ancient Mou State (牟国). It is sometimes called "Yingmou" (赢牟) because of that, and has the nickname "Phoenix City" (凤城) because of some magic old stories. Since the 1960s, Laiwu has been an important center of China's steel industry. A prefecture-level city of its own for some time, with two districts (Laicheng District, now Laiwu District, and Gangcheng District), in 2019 it was merged intoJinan, the capital ofShandong province. Laiwu has a warm temperate semi-humid monsoon climate, with four distinct seasons.
