Baotu Spring Park

Jinan is a city famous both in China and abroad for its springs, and due to its topography, it boasts 72 spring outlets, with the most famous being Baotu Spring. It is said that there are not only 72 springs in Jinan, but over a hundred spring pools just within the urban area. Regardless of the number of spring pools, Jinan's reputation as the 'City of Springs' is an undisputed fact. Two years ago, I visited Jinan and toured around Daming Lake and other scenic spots. Baotu Spring was the place I most wanted to see, but unfortunately, on the day we arrived, a TV drama crew was filming there, and the entire Baotu Spring scenic area was closed to the public. We could only take a photo at the entrance and leave with regret. Today, two years later, we are on a self-driving tour in Shandong Province and passing through Jinan again. Visiting Baotu Spring is one of our itinerary plans. Before coming here, I kept wondering if Baotu Spring would be closed for some reason again. Fortunately, we were able to fulfill our wish to see the 'Number One Spring under Heaven'—Baotu Spring. Unexpectedly, even after the May Day holiday, there were still many people in the Baotu Spring scenic area, and parking was hard to find. We finally found a parking spot in a shopping mall's parking lot at least two bus stops away from Baotu Spring, charging 10 yuan per hour. That wasn't too bad. After parking the car, we walked towards Baotu Spring and queued up to enter. The overall feeling of the park is that it's nestled among flowers and green trees, creating a beautiful environment, like entering a natural oxygen bar, refreshing and invigorating. There are several exhibition halls in the park, including the Li Kuchan Exhibition Hall and the Exhibition Hall of Li Qingzhao, a famous Song Dynasty poet. It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong named Baotu Spring as the 'Number One Spring under Heaven' after using its water to brew tea, which he found to be mellow and delicious. It is also the earliest of Jinan's famous springs mentioned in ancient literature. We strolled around every part of the park, and without realizing it, we grew tired from the walk. This time, there were no regrets, and our mood was much lighter. I can't help but exclaim: Jinan is truly a wonderful place! Just like I once wrote in an article, 'Jinan is a city you want to visit again after coming once,' I have kept my word. Today we came again, and we will come back in the future.

📷📷📷 Baotu Spring, this famous spring site located in Jinan, Shandong, really made me linger and forget to return. The scenery there is picturesque, and every drop of water seems to contain a thousand years of stories. 👀👀 The moment I stepped into Baotu Spring Park, I was surrounded by the rich greenery. Walking on the bluestone paths, it's as if I could hear the echoes of history, and each stone has witnessed countless years passing by. ⛲️⛲️ The three streams of Baotu Spring, like three blooming white lotuses, are tumbling and leaping, continuously gushing out. The spring water is so clear that it seems to wash away all the dust and fatigue. I squatted by the spring, quietly watching the water surge out, feeling its vitality and vigor. In addition to the springs, other attractions in Baotu Spring Park are also eye-catching. For example, those ancient pavilions and towers, each with its unique story. And the garden full of green trees and red flowers makes one feel as if they are in a paradise. During the visit, I also tasted the local specialties, and the flavors of those delicacies are still memorable to this day. This trip to Baotu Spring has deeply made me feel the magic and beauty of nature. I think this is the meaning of travel, to step out of our familiar environment and explore those unknown beauties. Address: No.1 Baotuquan South Road, Lixia District, Jinan City, Shandong Province

Revisiting Baotu Spring on a spring day, I explore the beauty of the city of springs. The morning sun shines on the land of Jinan, and with anticipation for the scenic beauty of the city of springs, I first set foot on the renowned Baotu Spring. The spring water gushes, as if singing a hymn to nature, adding vitality and vigor to this spring. Then, I strolled to Wulongtan Park to experience the unique beauty of the lake and mountains. Continuing along Qu Shui Ting Street, the ancient streets and alleys exude an old-world charm, as if time has reversed, taking me back to a distant era. The tranquility of Zhenzhu Spring and the exuberance of Heihu Spring weave together before my eyes into a beautiful tapestry. The afternoon sun grows even more brilliant, and I wander through Quancheng Square, feeling the pulse of the city. Unexpectedly, at the end of the day's journey, I find myself back at the gates of Baotu Spring. With time to spare, why not re-enter this verdant world? In the afternoon, the Baotu Spring under the sunlight appears even more clear and aqua green, with sparkling ripples. The lively spring water seems to be telling the story of Jinan. Once again, I immerse myself in this tranquility and beauty, enjoying the gifts of nature. Today's journey has allowed me to appreciate the scenery of the city of springs and to feel the charm of nature. May every trip bring me more beauty and insight.

The first sight of Baotu Spring is just green and damp, a vision filled with greenery and water. By noon, as the sunlight pours down and the crowd becomes lively, the dampness fades away with the feeling, leaving behind green and clarity. This clarity is truly crystal clear, making one linger and forget to return. 🌿 · Spring water gushes out from the underground limestone caves, with 70,000 cubic meters of spring water emerging daily. The spring has three outlets, with the maximum flow reaching 162,000 cubic meters per day. The temperature of Baotu Spring water remains around 18°C throughout the year. · Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong, during his southern tour, found the tea made with Baotu Spring water so mellow and sweet that he bestowed upon it the title 'The Number One Spring in the World'. · Surrounding Baotu Spring are notable historical sites worth visiting, such as Luoyuan Hall, Guanlan Pavilion, Shangzhi Hall, Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall, and Li Kuchan Memorial Museum. I particularly like the Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall, and it was only upon visiting that I realized Li Qingzhao was from Jinan. It's quite moving to think of all the talent from Jinan. 💌 Practical Information: 🎫 Ticket: 40 🕐 Time: All year 07:00-19:00 (Last entry at 18:30) 📍 Address: No.1 Baotuquan South Road, Lixia District, Jinan City, Shandong Province

Listening to the gurgling sound of the spring water is very healing. As a famous tourist spot in Jinan, Baotu Spring is a place where everyone must check in. Recently, the water volume is large, and you can clearly hear the sound of the spring water bubbling. When Emperor Qianlong made a southern tour, he brewed tea with Baotu Spring water because of its mellow and sweet taste, and he conferred Baotu Spring as the 'First Spring under Heaven'. There are also stories about the summer lotus on the bank of Daming Lake. The internet is heatedly discussing the cold wave in Jinan, wondering if it will freeze Baotu Spring. However, it is still exuding a fairy-like aura, with chubby fish leaping over the dragon gate. Jinan at this moment is a romantic Jinan.

❤Every time I arrive in a new city, I like to remember every corner with my eyes. Communicate with different people, taste local food, and feel their pace of life. Perhaps for me, the deepest impression of Jinan is the people here, who are very warm and kind. ✨The architecture and natural scenery of Jinan are very distinctive. You can go to Quancheng Square, one of the landmark buildings in Jinan, with a large area of green space, and many pigeons playing here. ✨When you come to Jinan, you must go to see Baotu Spring. The spring water is clear and bottomless, and three springs gush out, like three large flower pots. There are also many small bridge water landscapes inside the park, which are very suitable for strolling. The environment here is fresh and comfortable. Many people come here and can't help but linger. ✨Jinan is a city that never sleeps, and the night view is very beautiful, with lights and springs reflecting each other, which is worth a visit. If you want to experience the night of Jinan, you can go to Daming Lake or Heihu Spring. The night view here is particularly romantic, and it can be said to be the pearl of Jinan's night sky. 🍚Next, I want to talk about my love for Jinan's food. There are many foods in Jinan, such as sweet foam, cheap square pot stickers, power plant two-board noodles, crispy pot and old jade roast chicken. These are all famous snacks in Jinan, and every bite can be memorable. ❤What you must not miss when you come to Jinan is Bazirou. Bazirou belongs to the Lu cuisine, originated in Jinan, Shandong, and is one of the most famous snacks in Jinan, and it is also a special food in Jinan. However, now you can taste this dish in many places, and the taste is also good. 🍚Finally, I want to remind everyone to pay attention to safety and environmental protection during the tour. Protect our environment with your own actions and leave a better world for our future generations. 🌸Okay, today's sharing is here, I hope you will like my travel experience. Jinan, the city I am fond of, has left me with too many memories.
