The attraction centers around Baotu Spring, renowned as the "No. 1 Spring Under Heaven." Its waters flow into rivers and converge into lakes, harmoniously blending with the ancient Mingfu City. To the north lies Wulongtan (Five Dragon Pool), while to the east stretches Jinan's Huancheng Park (home to the Black Tiger Spring and other springs), both highly celebrated in Jinan. These springs boast exceptional water quality. Daming Lake, a natural lake formed by the convergence of numerous springs, receives water from its southern shore. When full, the water flows out through the Northern Water Gate, built during the Song Dynasty on the lake's north shore. The lakebed consists of impermeable igneous rock, preventing flooding during heavy rains or drought. Often described as "a confluence of springs merging to embrace the Jiluo region," it's hailed as the "Pearl of the Spring City." Similarly, the moat formed by spring waters encircles the ancient city like a jade belt, offering scenic cruise rides along its course. The attraction boasts stunning natural scenery and rich cultural heritage, featuring not only springs, rivers, and lakes but also numerous historical landmarks. Highlights include the Chaoran Tower dating back to the Yuan Dynasty and the Luoyuan Hall originally built during the Northern Wei Dynasty (now a Ming-era structure). Historical sites include the Luoshang Terrace, the former residence site of Qin Qiong, and the Beishui Gate. Notable former residences include the Nanfeng Ancestral Hall, Jiaxuan Ancestral Hall, Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall and Yi'an Old Residence, Tiegong Ancestral Hall, and Lao She Memorial Hall.

Qushuiting Street
Qushuiting Street is a historic street in Jinan, the Spring City, that grew up alongside the springs. It is bordered to the north by the Daming Lake Scenic Area, to the south by Xigengdao, to the east by the North Gate of the Prince De Mansion, and to the west by the Jinan Fuxue Confucian Temple. Along the 500+ m street, one side features old houses with green bricks and gray tiles, while the other side has a clear canal with swaying water plants and weeping willows brushing the water on both banks. Today, it is part of the Baihua Pool Historical and Cultural District. Most of the old houses on both sides are still residential, and walking through it, you can feel that this is an old street where people still live their daily lives, rather than a staged, faux-antique street. It still perfectly preserves the "Spring City" scenery described in "The Travels of Lao Can": "Every household has spring water, and every home has weeping willows."Jinan · 26.5km from Qihe County
Black Tiger Spring
Black Tiger Spring is one of the four major spring groups in Jinan, as famous asBaotu Spring, Pearl Spring, andFive Dragon Pool. It is located within Jinan Huancheng Park in Jinan, east of Spring City Square. Shaded by green trees, it connects to the ancient citymoatto the east of the square and faces the Liberation Pavilion across the way. Among the springs in Jinan, this one is known for its powerful water flow, ranking among the top of the 72 famous springs in terms of discharge volume. The highlight of visiting the spring is the "Tiger Head Water Spout": spring water gushes through an underground channel from three stone-carved tiger heads lined up on the pool wall. The water columns churn and crash into the square pool built of bluestone, creating layers of splashes, while the clear pool water reveals swaying green algae. The pool water overflows the sluice gate on the north bank and pours into the moat, forming a curtain of water with a roaring sound. When you arrive, you will find many locals collecting water here, a testament to its high quality; visitors can also use mineral water bottles to collect some to taste.Jinan · 27.7km from Qihe County

The Chinese version of Disneyland has decent attractions and is quite fun. It gets very crowded during the Spring Festival, so you can enter as soon as it opens and stay until closing time. There's something for both adults and children. The drone and fireworks shows at night are also good. However, the downside is obvious: after watching the fireworks, you can't get out of the parking lot due to severe traffic congestion!

This was my first time visiting Baotu Spring. I went in the afternoon to avoid the crowds, so the experience wasn't too bad. The three springs were bubbling away, and the water was crystal clear. No wonder it's called the City of Springs! 👍

The free spring water at Wulongtan gave me a great experience. It was truly a taste of the spring water that the people of Jinan drink. I felt they were very fortunate. I also felt the fish in the water were very happy.

Unexpectedly, it was a special session with Teacher Lu. The coordination was very smooth, with a dedicated assistant team. The team members were all dressed formally. Teacher Lu's explanation was witty, humorous, vivid, and captivating. The route was planned according to the historical timeline, and the headset was very clear. Although there were many people, we still managed to see all ten of the museum's most treasured exhibits.

Qushuiting Street has the beauty of a Jiangnan water town, while also having the characteristics of the North. Walking in the rainy alley of Qushuiting with an umbrella, watching the rain fall on the flowing water and the bridge reflecting the mist, the poetry of the ancient street is all in this rain.

Black Tiger Spring, located on the south bank of the moat in Jinan's old city, is a highly representative of Jinan's "Seventy-Two Famous Springs." It is named after a simple black tiger stone carving that once adorned the cliff north of the spring's source. The spring water continuously gushes from a cave hidden deep beneath the cliff, flowing through three exquisitely carved bluestone carvings.
