JINAN, June 25 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has approved Yimeng Mountain in east China's Shandong Province as a Global Geopark, according to local authorities.

The mountain is the second UNESCO Global Geopark in the province after Mount Tai.
