The Beijing-Shanghai Railway, which crosses the west from north to south, and the Qingdao--Jinan Railway, which runs through the central part from west to east -- both with Jinan as the junction -- are Shandong's transportation arteries. The Lancun-Yantai Railway links the two main ports, Qingdao and Yantai, with the remote areas of Shandong. Shandong is also served by the Shijiazhuang-Dezhou Railway and a few branch rail lines. With a highway mileage of 35,139 kilometers, it is one of the provinces with the most highways. Qingdao and Yantai are domestic and foreign trade ports. The Xiaoqing River is the major inland shipping route. The section of the Huanghe River downstream from Luokou is navigable.
