Who understands! The winter in Jinan from the textbooks is truly so beautiful it leaves me speechless

When I was a child reading Mr. Lao She’s "Winter in Jinan," I always imagined how gentle this ancient city surrounded by mountains and waters must be. Now that I have visited in person, I realize words can never fully capture its romance — snow kissing the hills, springs emitting fairy mist, lakes reflecting the sunset, every scene looks like it stepped right out of the textbook! ❄ Jinan’s Mountains: Entering a Fairy Tale World After Snowfall Qianfoshan Mountain in winter is absolutely stunning! Wrapped in a layer of "snow clothing," the trees become silver-clad guardians, and the mountains, stripped of their splendor, appear even more resolute. From the summit, overlooking the entire city with white tiles and red walls dusted in snow, I instantly understood Lao She’s description of it being "delicate and warm"~ 💧 Jinan’s Springs: An 18°C Winter Wonderland You must see the morning mist at Baotu Spring! The 18°C constant-temperature spring water meets the cold air, turning into soft clouds of mist, with three streams spraying pearls and jade, hazy like a fairyland💦 Don’t miss Crescent Spring and Pearl Spring either, where bubbles rise and thin mist lingers, cool and healing, perfect for stunning photos! This time, staying at the Heyi Zhishang Jinan Daming Lake Baotu Spring Hotel was the right choice! It’s just a 5-minute walk to Baotu Spring, only 20 minutes to Daming Lake, with a bus stop right downstairs. Visiting Qianfoshan and Spring City Square is very convenient. The rooms are clean and spacious, the shower water is stable, the air conditioning is powerful, and breakfast includes delicious braised pork and Jinan’s famous bazirou. Nearby, old favorites like Caobao Baozi and Chunjiang Restaurant are easy to find. After a tiring day of sightseeing, you can just return to the hotel to rest — it’s worry-free to the point of tears~ 🌅 Jinan’s Lake: The Romantic Impact of Chaoran Tower Daming Lake in winter holds double beauty! During the day, the weeping willows on the shore are gilded by sunlight, pavilions and towers reflect on the water, and at Nanfeng Opera House you can gather around the stove to drink tea and listen to music, making time slow down; at 7:20 PM, watch the lights come on at Chaoran Tower, with golden glow outlining the flying eaves against the sunset. The moment thousands raise their cameras to take photos is truly breathtaking and leaves you speechless! 🚣‍♀ Jinan’s River: A Flowing Poetic Scroll The moat is Jinan’s unique treasure! It’s the only spring-fed moat in the country that never freezes. Taking a boat ride through this "natural mineral spring," the water steams, and algae sway freely. At Qifeng Bridge and Qushuiting Street, every corner reveals scenes of small bridges, flowing water, and riverside homes, making every snapshot a classic ancient-style masterpiece~ 🏮 Jinan’s City: Where Fireworks and Poetry Coexist The red walls and golden tiles of Fuxue Confucian Temple look even more rustic in the snow. The cultural shops on Qushuiting Street and the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes mixed with the steam from tea gatherings create a lively atmosphere. In the Ming Shui Ancient City, you can leisurely ride a rowboat, with spring water gently flowing, truly making you forget the way home~ Early winter in Jinan still holds the warmth of autumn, with softly whispering fallen leaves and gentle sunlight. Walking here feels like stepping into the tender poetic lines written by Lao She. Come and unlock this romance yourself now~
