#100 Ways to Travel Heihu Spring is one of the four major spring groups in Jinan. It is located in the Ring City Park and its water volume is second only to Baotu Spring. The "Hei 乕泉" in the middle of the stone tablet is a variant of the Chinese character for tiger. Black Tiger Spring is formed by a natural cave. When the spring water gushes out, there is a rough sound, which is similar to the roar of a tiger, so it is named: Black Tiger Spring. ⋯⋯⋯⋯ Open to the public free of charge, you can come at any time, it is the most popular place among locals, and it is also the place where old Jinan people get water. There is a water collection point. Scan WeChat and spring water will flow out (about ten seconds). You can also follow the local people to collect water directly from the moat. Take a walk along the path beside the moat. The coolness brought by the spring water, plus the willow trees on both sides, and the beautiful scenery as shown in the picture will make you feel that the trip is worthwhile.

Black Tiger Spring Group (Heihuquan Spring) is the second top spring among the 72 famous springs in Jinan with the second largest outflow of water after Baotu Spring. The spring waters comes from a natural cave between the rocks, go through three stone-carved tiger mouths, gather in an stone pond and finally converge to the city fosse. The spring got its name of Heihu (Black Tiger) from the winds that emit a terrifying roar as the water blow through the cav. The Black Tiger Spring Group consists of total 14 springs. Located in Jinan, Shandong Province. #lucaworldtraveler #tripblazers #fallingforfall #mytripvlog

Heihu Spring aka 黑虎泉, that means Black Tiger Spring. Yes, sounds intriguing and trilling. This is another spring fertilizing the Jinan earth and giving the people happiness. Jinan could be titled as the capital of Springs. Back to the tourist spot. Again wow! I like the design if this place. Tiger heads opened tremendous mouths are erupting the cristal clean pure water! No doubt it means something. When approaching the pool immediately feeling the cooling effect, because water is very cold. Freshness and pureness. #springblossoms#roadtrip#urbanexplorer

Continuous autumn rain brings surprises as Jinan welcomes the best spring-watching season in 60 years. This ancient city has completely broken out thanks to its springs! Major spring clusters are in full force, showcasing the poetic "Clear springs flow over stones," the grandeur of "Black Tiger Roaring at the Moon," and the lively "Crescent Moon Waterfall," all vividly displayed in an immersive interpretation of the essence of the Spring City. Baotu Spring, the head of the Seventy-two Famous Springs, has its underground water level soaring to 30.32 meters, setting a nearly 60-year record. The famous scene of "water surging like wheels" returns spectacularly, with three streams of spring water shooting into the air like tigers roaring in the valley; Black Tiger Spring’s water level reaches 30.84 meters, breaking its historical record, with three beast heads spouting pearls and splashing jade, creating a magnificent momentum; the "Crescent Moon Waterfall" at Wulongtan Park reappears in its true form, with water flowing down like a silver curtain; the water column from Mo Spring is as dark as ink, creating the wonder of "one spring becoming a river." The major famous springs either overflow, burst forth, or gush out, making the poetic "Clear springs flow over stones" tangible. Follow the spring-watching route starting from Daming Lake, stroll along the South Bank Greenway, see the reflection of Lixia Pavilion shimmering on the water, stepping into the realm of poetry; then weave through the major spring clusters, moving from the shimmering lake light to the sound of spring gushes, understanding the vitality and romance of the Spring City. Come to Jinan for a millennium appointment with the springs and immerse yourself in this rare spring scenery event!

Jinan Winter Stroll Guide｜Stay at the Right Hotel, Unlock All Hidden Gems on Foot✨ Who can resist Jinan in winter! The ginkgo deer at Wulongtan hides poetry, the spring water at Baotu Spring carries the scent of chrysanthemums, the boats on Daming Lake bring gentleness, and even the air is filled with a healing fragrance～ This time, staying at the right hotel turned Jinan into a “walkable treasure tour”! Arriving in Jinan, I was immediately captivated by the ginkgo deer at Wulongtan🌲 Deep in the dawn redwood forest, two small deer made entirely by hand with natural fallen ginkgo leaves stand quietly. The staff are amazing! The deer outline from last year’s lantern festival was reused, and every leaf holds heartfelt meaning. Sunlight filters through the branches onto the golden deer, with light spots dancing, perfectly recreating the ancient poetic scene of “seeing deer deep in the forest”～ Standing next to the deer, any pose makes for a great photo, no warm filter needed, and posting it on social media instantly draws tons of questions! I have to rave about this stay — Heyi Zhishang - Jinan Daming Lake Baotu Spring Hotel, the location is absolutely unbeatable! From the hotel, it’s less than a 10-minute walk to Wulongtan. After seeing the ginkgo deer, a leisurely 2-minute stroll along the street brings you to the north gate of Baotu Spring. No need to squeeze into buses or call rideshares, saving all that time for sightseeing, happiness overload～ The hotel is clean and tidy inside, with soft and comfortable bedding. After a tiring day, a hot shower and a rest on the sofa recharge you fully for the next day. For travelers who love walking, this is truly essential! The 46th Golden Autumn Chrysanthemum Exhibition at Baotu Spring is bustling with excitement～ Between the ancient pavilion corridors, various chrysanthemums compete in beauty, and creative chrysanthemum art perfectly blends tradition and modernity. Every step reveals the designer’s ingenuity. Walking on the stone path, the chrysanthemum fragrance wafts in, accompanied by the sound of three springs gushing like thunder. The sparkling water droplets in the sunlight look like scattered diamonds shimmering brilliantly. When tired, walk along the spring to Heihu Spring, scoop a handful of sweet and refreshing spring water, and the clear taste instantly dispels all fatigue～ From Baotu Spring, it’s about a 20-minute walk to Daming Lake. In winter, Daming Lake lacks the summer’s lotus-filled ponds but gains a quiet and distant charm. Taking a boat ride on the lake, the wide surface is like a mirror, with clear reflections of Chaoran Tower and Lixia Pavilion. Occasionally, water birds skim the surface, creating ripples like a moving ink painting. When night falls and the lights come on, the moment Chaoran Tower lights up stuns everyone, and the lake sparkles with flowing colors—truly deserving the title of “Spring City Night Banquet” center stage～ After the lake tour, walking back to the hotel, you can detour into Kuanhouli. The ancient-style street is bustling with people and full of lively atmosphere. The aroma of various local snacks fills the air, with creative shops, tea houses, and bookstores arranged charmingly. You won’t want to leave even late at night. For those who love experiencing local life, the Spring Water Bath is a must! From the hotel, it’s about a half-hour walk. The 18°C constant temperature spring water lets you swim freely even in the cold winter, feeling the gentle embrace of the spring, as if closely connected to the city’s pulse. Also, Pearl Spring is worth a visit. The water is clear and transparent, fish swim happily in the spring pool, and the yellowing willows by the spring add a golden trim to the green water. Sunlight sparkles on the surface, shining with golden light, pleasing to the eye～ This winter in Jinan holds so many surprises. The ginkgo deer at Wulongtan, the chrysanthemum-scented springs of Baotu Spring, the dream-seeking boat rides on Daming Lake, the lively human atmosphere of Kuanhouli, and the convenient accommodation within walking distance of all attractions—each place leaves unforgettable memories. If you want to encounter a gentle journey this winter, come to Jinan, stay at Heyi Zhishang, unlock the joy of walking tours, and meet the most beautiful winter moments amid spring charm and ancient colors～

We visited Heihu Spring on a peaceful morning, and the energy of the place was immediately uplifting 💦🌞. The sound of water rushing from the tiger-head spouts was powerful and steady it actually gave us goosebumps. We stood close enough to feel the light spray on our skin, and it was so refreshing. The surrounding rocks and greenery made it feel like we had stepped into a hidden sanctuary in the middle of the city 🌿🪨. We took our time walking along the edge of the spring, watching people fill their bottles with fresh spring water straight from the source 🚰. There was a group of locals chatting by the water, and their relaxed pace made us slow down too. The spring had a raw, untamed beauty that made it different from other spots we loved just standing there, soaking in the sound and rhythm of nature 🐾🍃. #chinatravel #travel #myitinerary

First stop, head straight to Baotu Spring, ticket price 40 yuan. As the "No. 1 Spring Under Heaven," the sight of its three gushing springs is absolutely breathtaking and totally worth the visit! Arrive before 8 AM to avoid crowds, snap beautiful photos, and swing by Li Qingzhao's former residence near Shuyu Spring to experience where this talented poetess once lived. Next, check out Daming Lake, free entry. This is the legendary site of Xia Yuhe—don't miss the boat rides and lotus viewing. Also, visit Chaoran Tower; the lighting-up moment at 18:50 is stunningly beautiful, so grab a front-row spot early! After the lights, stroll along the moat for mesmerizing night views. Don’t skip Qushuiting Street—it’s free! Dubbed the "Jiangnan Water Town of the North," this street with springs running through it is pure vibes. Navigate to "Qifeng Bridge No. 8" for Instagram-worthy shots with its mint-green walls and heart-shaped windows. Tired? Grab a stick of sour candy—it’s refreshingly sweet and tangy. Heihu Spring is also free, where three tiger-head carvings gush water with a roaring sound—truly spectacular. Bring an empty bottle to collect spring water for tea; the aroma is divine! Nearby Liberation Pavilion is a Hanfu photography hotspot at night—absolutely legendary. In Jinan, Qianfo Mountain is a must, ticket 30 yuan. From the summit, enjoy panoramic views of Jinan. Xingguo Temple on the mountainside is said to bring academic and career luck—worth a visit if you need blessings.

🔥【Travel & Stay High-Tech】Have fun in the old city without any pitfalls! 🛵 Travel hack: Electric scooters rule Jinan! Don’t buy into the “public transport is everything” myth! The old city’s attractions are scattered like puzzle pieces. Taking a taxi? Your wallet will suffer. Shared bikes? Always “already taken”… Just rent an electric scooter (daily rent 30 - 50 RMB)! With navigation, you can zip from Baotu Spring to Daming Lake in half an hour, and from Jinan West Station to Baotu Spring in just 20 minutes—battery life is rock solid~ (⚠️ Safety reminder: Wear a helmet! Don’t ride against traffic! Getting caught by the traffic police is super embarrassing!) 🏨 Accommodation tips: Avoid traps and find hidden gems! Don’t be fooled by “Spring City Square landmark hotels”! They’re painfully expensive, and the music fountain at night will keep you up with the noise… Smart choice: Stay near the East Gate of Daming Lake! For example, “ZiYue Minghu Hotel,” just a 5-minute walk to Chaoran Tower. Early mornings, you can stroll to the lake to watch elderly folks practicing Tai Chi or walking their birds, fully immersing yourself in Jinan’s local vibe with great value for money! This keeps your key info intact while using a lively, internet-savvy tone perfect for travel guides. If making a video later, pair it with electric scooter rides, night scenes of Spring City Square (to highlight the noise contrast), and early morning shots of Daming Lake to emphasize the difference! ⚠️【Hard-earned Pitfall Avoidance Guide】Memorize this to save yourself 800 detours! 1. Don’t drink Black Tiger Spring water straight! Boil it at home first; drink it raw and you risk stomach trouble, my word. 2. Don’t take the cable car at Qianfoshan! The steps at the south gate are gentle, and there are mountain peach sellers and blessing plaques along the way. Climbing is more fun. 3. Chaoran Tower light show is best on weekdays! On weekends, the crowd is taller than the lights. On weekday evenings, grab a lakeside spot. 4. For local specialties, go to the supermarket in the basement of Hang Lung Plaza! Zhoucun sesame cakes are 3 bags for 10 RMB there, but 20 RMB in tourist spots—ripoff! ✨ Ultimate Jinan insight: Reject the influencer filters—this is the relaxed vibe the old city should have! It’s not just a check-in spot for influencers, but a slow-paced city where you bring an empty bottle to Black Tiger Spring to fill with water, squat by the moat watching koi fish dance, and wait in the old alleys of Furong Street for the tricycles jingling by. When you sit on a stone bench listening to the spring water’s tinkling, or feel the evening breeze wrapped in the human warmth during the Chaoran Tower light show, you realize Jinan’s soul is hidden in these “unvaluable but heart-stealing” little moments— This city, you can’t rush it; you have to soak it in slowly.
