Things to do in Jinan

A beautiful place to visit, lots of photos opportunities and welcoming people.

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 Shandong Museum, affectionately known as "Shandong's Mistress Slope" by locals, is famous for the inscription by Guo Moruo, which has become a popular meme online—quite clever! But the museum's ten most prized treasures are truly breathtaking! The 5,000-year-old red pottery animal-shaped pot is charmingly naive; the eggshell-like black pottery cup is as thin as an eggshell, as black as lacquer, and as shiny as a mirror, hailed as "the most exquisite creation of Earth's civilization 4,000 years ago!" The Shang Dynasty Ya Chou Yue (a type of ancient Chinese axe) has an adorable, expressive face; the Western Zhou Song Gui (a type of ancient Chinese bronze vessel) has 150 characters of inscription; the Warring States period Lu State jade disc is warm and luxurious; and the Yinqueshan Han bamboo slips, unearthing Sun Tzu's *Art of War* and Sun Bin's *Art of War* from the same tomb, rewrites the history of military science! There are also murals from the Dongping Han tomb, a Ming Dynasty nine-tassel crown, and Zheng Banqiao's double pine tree scroll—each a national treasure. From prehistoric times to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the entire heritage of Shandong Province spans thousands of years—both awe-inspiring and fascinating, absolutely worth visiting again and again!

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.

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.

The housing prices in the eastern part of Jinan are lukewarm. After the construction of the cultural and tourism city is completed, the supporting projects are gradually improved. The antique style is matched with bright lights. It is particularly beautiful at night. The night view of the commercial street along the Hancang River.

Family, Hongjialou Catholic Church is so stunning! The Gothic architecture is so eye-catching from a distance, and the details are even more amazing when you get closer. The carvings and colored windows are so beautiful that I can't find words to describe them. The space inside is super large and the atmosphere is super sacred. Once you enter, your heart is calm. It's even better for taking photos. Any photo you take is a blockbuster. You must come here to check in when you come to Jinan!

Inspired by the time machine, the museum creates a mysterious space with a sense of ritual, spirituality and shock through the subtle changes of art and technology! It is worth seeing, and the ladies in the museum explain in great detail, and they are gentle and beautiful. Each unit is a must-visit project.

Xueye Lake is located in Laiwu District, Jinan. It is a good place for summer camping and self-driving camping. Along the lakeside, there are mid- to high-end hotels and restaurants, as well as a small lakeside park with colorful lake views and shady green plants. It is worthwhile for tourists to come here.
