Exploring Jinan

🌟 **Jinan Exploration | Travel Tips 🚂 Watching the night scenery flowing outside the window, we embarked on the train from Xingtai to Jinan at two o'clock in the morning. Although the time was a bit unusual, the anticipation of Jinan's beautiful scenery filled us with energy.🌙 🏠 Upon arrival, we chose accommodation near Daming Lake. The first rays of the morning sun reflected on the lake surface, tranquil and beautiful. 🍃 Our first destination was Baotu Spring. In this place known as the 'Spring City,' we felt the strong cultural heritage. Although it requires a ticket, the misty waters of Baotu Spring were refreshing and delightful. 🍜 When hunger struck, we headed to Furong Street to taste various authentic Jinan snacks. The steaming pancakes and fragrant drunken shrimp made us linger and forget to return. Hidden in the alleys of Furong Street, there are many interesting shops, each a great spot for checking in. 🚖 Next, we took a ride to Tu San and Jiaxin Hutong. These popular photo spots attracted many tourists, but also lost some of Jinan's most authentic scenery. 🚌 Taking the bus, we arrived at Qushuiting Street. The collision of ancient architecture and modern commerce on both sides of the street showcased the diverse styles of Jinan. Especially at night, Qushuiting Street was brilliantly lit and bustling. 🍷 As night fell, we visited Kuanhouli to taste Jinan's cuisine and bar culture. The Ice House left a deep impression on us, with its comfortable environment and beautiful music, allowing us to spend a pleasant evening. At the same time, the night view of Chaoran Tower was also uniquely charming. 🌅 The next morning, we decided to revisit Qushuiting Street and Daming Lake, wanting to capture the beauty of the sunrise. At this moment, the lake and mountains, accompanied by the soft light of dawn, made us appreciate the beauty of life. Summary: The unique charm of Jinan lies in its rich historical and culinary culture. Although the traffic is somewhat congested, each scenic spot exudes its own charm, worth taking the time to savor and explore.

Half of the scenery is mountains, and the other half is a city by the lake

Daming Lake can be said to be the most representative attraction of Jinan: "Lotuses on all sides, willows on three, a city of mountain hues, half a city lake." When it comes to Daming Lake, the most famous quote is from the TV series 'My Fair Princess,' where the Emperor is asked if he remembers the summer lotus by the Daming Lake. Visiting Jinan, one must go to Daming Lake. It was by the Daming Lake that Li Qingzhao met Zhao Mingcheng, and their affection for each other blossomed, "Washed by the dew, the apple blossoms and the grassy banks." Arriving at Daming Lake, you not only appreciate the beauty of the natural scenery but also feel a tranquility that is far from the madding crowd. You can take a stroll on the bluestone paths when the sunlight is just right, feel the gentle warmth of winter, and experience the 'Jinan in winter' as described by the famous writer Lao She. The most famous sight at Daming Lake is undoubtedly the Chaoran Pavilion. The current Chaoran Pavilion was rebuilt in 2008. The dimly lit Chaoran Pavilion transports one across ancient and modern times at a glance.

Spring arrives at Daming Lake - transcending the Superb Building and the charm of Seven Bridges

Magpie Bridge - Superb Building - Seven Bridges Charm - Tianxin Water Pavilion (overlooking Lixia Pavilion) - Sijia Wharf - South Gate of Daming Lake - Xia Garden, I often stroll along this route on weekends, and the scenery is exceptionally beautiful. Zeng Gong, one of the Eight Great Prose Masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, once served as an official here. He built the Hundred Flowers Embankment (later renamed Zeng Embankment by later generations in his honor) and the beautiful scenery of the Seven Bridges Charm is concentrated nearby. From the South Gate of Daming Lake, crossing the road to the south is the Qu Shui Pavilion Hundred Flowers Isle historical and cultural district. You can also take a boat from the south gate to the north shore's Tie Gong Temple or Beiji Pavilion, or Nangong Shrine, with very cheap ticket prices. Different routes can also go to the north shore and then return to the south shore. Whether you choose a guided tour boat also determines the difference in boat ticket prices. About the poetry of the Seven Bridges: Zeng Gong 'To My Colleagues in Qi State' A dance in West Lake's rainbow skirts, urging guests to drink from white jade cups among the flowers. Who faces the moon over the Seven Bridges tonight, with affectionate thoughts that span a thousand miles and cannot be forgotten. Zeng Gong 'After Leaving Qi State' My home must be visited in Xi Pond, hard to let go of West Lake's ten acres of autumn. From now on, the wind and moon of the Seven Bridges, my dreams and soul always reach the Mulan boat. The West Lake mentioned in the poems is now Daming Lake, and the Seven Bridges Charm refers to the seven bridges that were built around the lake in the old city area of Jinan at that time. Not all the names of the Seven Bridges have been recorded, but the known ones are Shuixi Bridge, Furong Bridge, Huxi Bridge, Beichi Bridge, and Hundred Flowers Bridge. Today, they are composed of seven scenic bridges: Magpie, Furong, Shuixi, Huxi, Beichi, Hundred Flowers, and Autumn Willow. Standing on the bridges and looking out, the lake water meanders, with wetland aquatic plants such as bulrushes and reeds growing densely by the water, lush shrubs and bright flowers on the green belts, and the seven stone bridges spanning the water, as if entering the water towns of the Jiangnan region.

Exploring Jinan through Lao She's Pen: A trip to Baotu Spring, Daming Lake and Shandong Cuisine

Jinan's winter, as depicted by Lao She, is so enchanting that one can't help but want to experience it firsthand🎉. Although this trip was tight, I still managed to visit Baotu Spring and Daming Lake, which are truly the epitome of Jinan. Baotu Spring is a must-visit place. It's quiet during the weekdays, and the moment the spring water gushes out, it's simply breathtaking. There are also cultural and creative shops nearby, with seals, fridge magnets and badges in all shapes and sizes, each one super attractive. The popsicles at Baotu Spring, especially the bamboo-flavored ones, are unique🎋. Daming Lake is a vast lake park, which must be even more beautiful when the lotus flowers bloom in summer. Be sure to check in at Chaoran Tower at night, the dazzling lights make one feel as if they are in a fairyland. There are many photographers in front of Chaoran Tower, although their skills are not commendable, the results are surprisingly good, remember to bargain📷. Shandong's Lu cuisine is extremely delicious, I went to the friend-recommended Kui Sheng Ju, the taste is excellent. Even at noon on weekdays, you have to queue up, so it's recommended to go early. The sweet and not greasy Nine-Turned Large Intestines seem to suit the taste of people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. However, Furong Street was a bit disappointing, it feels no different from commercial streets all over the country, and the food is not outstanding. Although I didn't catch the lanterns at Qu Shui Ting Street in the evening, the daytime hutong atmosphere is full of interest.

What is it like to stay in Daming Lake? The environment is very quiet, the lake view of Daming Lake and the hotel are integrated.

Jinan | Do you still remember the summer lotus on the shore of Daming Lake?

I've passed by Jinan several times without stopping. This time I took a brief tour. The zoo and Daming Lake were quite a surprise. 💰Ticket price: Free 📌Small Tips: Parking spaces are limited, it is not recommended to drive here on holidays 🌟Highlights: As expected of the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, there are several famous people's former residences in the park. The pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water are very gentle like the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The lights should look better at night, I must come at night next time Enter from the gate of Chaoran Tower, first visit Chaoran Tower, then stroll around the lake. Daming Lake is much larger than I imagined, larger than Beihai. Take your time and stroll around for more than three hours, then have a nice meal of Lu cuisine or hot pot, it's so comfortable.

Daming Lake Park

The park is free to enter, but some attractions inside charge fees. It's big, really big, it takes about an hour to walk around the lake, the scenery is very good, there is a lot of greenery, it feels quite suitable for jogging and walking. There should be lotus leaves and lotus flowers on the lake in summer, in winter you can only see withered lotus, but the lake and mountain scenery is still very good, the sunset is also beautiful.

Touring Jinan

Jinan, also known as 'Spring City', is the capital of Shandong. After leaving Taian, we took the high-speed train to Jinan. During our three days in Jinan, we mainly visited the famous Baotu Spring, Daming Lake, and Thousand Buddha Mountain. Baotu Spring, known as the best spring in the world, is very spectacular with its gushing spring water. The couplet in the Guanlan Pavilion, 'Three feet do not melt the snow on the ground, four times often roar half the sky', is the most vivid description. Although the entire scenic area is not very large, there are many historical sites such as the Guanlan Pavilion, Guanghui Bridge, and Bai Tang Bridge. In addition to Baotu Spring, we also visited nearby Black Tiger Spring and Five Dragon Pool. Daming Lake, when people come to Jinan, the most impressive poem is 'Four sides of lotus, three sides of willow, a city of mountain color, half a city of lake', this half city lake refers to Daming Lake. Daming Lake is a natural lake formed by more than 20 springs. We walked around the lake and saw the water surface like a mirror, green trees, lake and mountain scenery, which is very beautiful. After visiting Daming Lake, we also went to the nearby Kuanhouli. Leaving Kuanhouli, we came to Qu Shui Ting Street, where every household has spring water and willows. Thousand Buddha Mountain, formerly known as Li Mountain, it is said that Emperor Shun ploughed for the people under Li Mountain. During the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty, Buddhism was prevalent, and thousands of Buddha statues were carved on the mountain, hence the name Thousand Buddha Mountain. Thousand Buddha Mountain is a tourist attraction integrating mountains, forests, and ancient sites. There are attractions such as Xingguo Temple and Wanfo Cave on the mountain. When we climbed to the top of the mountain, the beautiful scenery of Jinan city was in sight. No wonder the locals say 'You can come to Jinan without seeing the scenery, but you can't not go to Thousand Buddha Mountain', this is true!
