No, Licheng District was a suburb of Jinan before 1987. After that, Licheng County and its suburbs of Jinan City were abolished, and Licheng District of Jinan City was established. Now, Licheng District has belonged to the main urban area of Jinan, and it is an important area for Jinan government and commercial center to move eastward. It is also the largest municipal district in Jinan and an important political, economic and cultural center in the east of Quancheng. Therefore, Licheng District is no longer a suburb of Jinan.
