"You have to visit Jinan, as described by Lao She"

🔥Recommended Jinan Tourist Attractions | Ancient Springs, City of Poetry and Painting** "Lotus flowers on all four sides and willows on three sides, a city of mountains and half a city of lakes" - Jinan, this ancient city nourished by springs for thousands of years, hides many surprises. Follow the camera and check in! **1. Baotu Spring (Number One Spring Under Heaven)** The soul of Jinan! Three clear springs have been gushing for thousands of years, and Emperor Qianlong's "Number One Spring Under Heaven" is here. In spring, the willows are swaying, and in winter, the water mist is like a fairyland. Remember to try the Baotu Spring cultural and creative ice cream~ **2. Daming Lake (Free!)** "Do you still remember Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake?" Boating on the lake, watch the moment when the Chaoran Tower lights up (lights on at 19:10 sharp), and take photos in Hanfu, which is absolutely beautiful! There are also old Jinan specialty snacks, such as fried cornbread and sweet millet porridge, by the lake. **3. Thousand Buddha Mountain (City Viewing Platform)** It only takes 1 hour to climb to the top! There are Sui Dynasty Buddha statues and popular slides on the mountain. You can take photos of the sea of clouds and sunrise in the morning, and you can overlook the panoramic view of Jinan in the evening. The night view is super romantic. **4. Qushuiting Street (Miniature of Old Jinan)** Blue stone road + spring water homes, order a bowl of tea and sit by the river, listening to the sound of the erhu. The candied hawthorns at the corner are a must-try delicacy! **5. Black Tiger Spring (Local Favorite)** Drink spring water for free! Watch the three tiger heads gush out clear springs, follow the citizens to fetch water and make tea, and experience the authentic spring city life. "Spring" is the story of Jinan. When are you going to come and listen? @ your travel buddy in the comments section~ **Tips**: The best travel season is from September to November, when the autumn is crisp and the springs are abundant! The city's attractions are concentrated, and you can explore them by riding a shared bicycle~
