Jinan Highlights

Jinan Essentials

Jinan, famously known as the 'City of Springs,' is defined by its unique artesian karst water system. This collection features the city's most significant aquatic landmarks, anchored by the expansive Daming Lake and the iconic Baotu Spring, historically celebrated as the 'Number One Spring under Heaven.' The list includes the interconnected Five Dragon Pool and the Black Tiger Spring, where water gushes from carved stone tiger heads into the city moat. The hidden Wangfu Pool, also known as Zhuoying Spring, offers a glimpse into the historic center's traditional lifestyle centered around these natural springs.
