Black Tiger Spring is free, more like the morning exercise park of Jinan citizens. Here, many citizens can see that they are holding buckets to pick up water. I also picked up two bottles with mineral water bottles. The spring water is delicious. I went to Baotu Spring the day before. In addition to the fact that Baotu Spring itself has a lot of people, if it is interesting, I think Black Tiger Spring should be better than Baotu Spring. Baishi Spring is really a treasure. The color of the water is too beautiful. I also put my mobile phone under the water and took a video. It is really beautiful. The color of the water on the Black Tiger Spring feels a bit ink. The whole park is not big. It is Quancheng Square when you circle it. I envy the residents who live nearby, it’s really good to come and visit often.
The southeast corner of the moat is the Black Tiger Spring Group. Between the Qiaoqiao and the Baishi Bridge, the Black Tiger Spring has plenty of water, and many locals are taking water here. The Baishi Spring under the Baishi Bridge is the most characteristic, between the white rocks by the moat. There is also Jiefang Pavilion nearby. The night view is also worth seeing.
The scenic spot does not need tickets. It is difficult to park around. It is not recommended to drive to the Black Tiger Spring attraction itself. There is a water pick-up point. Many citizens bring buckets to pick up the water. The scenic spot is beautiful and the spring water is clear.
20221025 Morning: 1. "Black Tiger Spring" is one of the four famous springs in Jinan. It is one of the three springs in the "One River, One Lake, Three Springs and Four Gardens" in the "First Spring in the World" in the scenic spot. It is located in the southeast corner of the moat (that is, "One River"). The surrounding buses extend in all directions. It is not easy to park without a special parking lot. Black Tiger Spring group has 14 springs, each spring pool almost has a variety of fish as a "resident population", each spring almost has a love for their citizens to get water, become a beautiful scenery. 2. Black Tiger Spring is a natural cave, the cave is built into a pavilion, and the tea is currently paved with "Huquan Pavilion". The cave entrance is covered by glass. Through the glass, you can see the interior cave rock wall. The spring water flows from the southeast of the cave. Along the dark communication at the foot, there are 3 stone carving tiger heads on the south wall of the spring pool. (There was only one tiger head at the earliest, added to three in 1931 in the Republic of China) injected into the spring pool, and finally into the moat, the fish in the spring pool was smaller. The four words "black tiger whizzing moon" above the cave came from a poem "black tiger spring" in "Jinan 72 spring poems" written by the Ming Dynasty poet Yubi. Black Tiger Spring is the largest spring in the Black Tiger Spring group, the spring water volume is second only to Baotu Spring, ranking 25th in the 2004 edition of Jinan's new 72 springs (the list is attached, but visually is sorted according to geographical location, not according to fame and water volume). Black Tiger Spring began to rank 72 springs in the Golden Dynasty "Mingquan Stele", its name has two sayings: one is because of the original "Black Tiger Temple" on the shore; the other is because of the spring water "water-induced pillar stone, sound like tiger roar", scientific explanation may be the wind into the stone crevice caused by the strange noise, so the name. The east side of Black Tiger Spring is a convenient water outlet. Many citizens carry empty buckets to get water. The regional characteristics of Jinan Spring City are revealed. The free drinking table is common in the main street of the city. The sweet spring water has become a gift of nature to the city. 3. The spring eyes of the Black Tiger Spring Group, from the south bank of the moat from the east to the west, have "Onyx Spring" (72 springs ranked 27th, square spring pools are decorated with yellow bonsai flowers, because of the brightness of the sun, blue as onyx and named. The "resident people" in the spring pool are all kinds of small fish. It is rumored that there is a shop not far from the Black Tiger Spring in ancient times. The owner is Wang Zhong, the daughter is called Lotus, and the father and daughter are happy and kind. In the New Year's 30th, they helped to visit the trapped Donghai Dragon King father and son. The Donghai Dragon King gave Wang Zhong an onyx treasure. . After being informed by the government, he came to grab the treasure bead. After the treasure bead landed, it turned into agate spring and flooded the mansion), "Fuquan" (the round spring pool is not big, and the spring is Jinan famous artist Han Meilin carved with black granite material in 1992 "Shuanghu"), "Shuquan" (72 springs ranked 26th, the earliest in the Qing Dynasty "72 springs" included, the sound of water is like a ripple, and it is said that a grass turned into a spring eyes day and night for the old man to become a stone of a young man crying, and the cry is like a ripple. The scientific explanation is that there are different sizes of caves and grooves between the Ordovician cloud limestones under the fountain, and the groundwater spews when it hits the hollow rock and makes a sound... The word number exceeds the limit, continuing in the last picture.
