Time: 2023/12/9 20:00 Venue: Shandong Hall Who knows, the voice I've always liked is coming to Jinan for a concert! I'm also ready to go to Jinan to see Ma Di from my headphones. Besides the concert, I've prepared a short trip to the Spring City for the beautiful weekend. Let's plan to check out the scenic spots together~ 1. Baotu Spring Scenic Area Baotu Spring Park is located in the bustling center of Jinan, leaning against the Thousand Buddha Mountain to the south, adjacent to Daming Lake Scenic Area to the north, and connected to Quancheng Square to the east. It is a characteristic garden themed around spring water and is known as the "Number One Spring under the Heaven." Baotu Spring, ranking first among Jinan's "Seventy-Two Famous Springs," has a history of more than 2000 years. 2. Daming Lake Scenic Area Daming Lake Scenic Area is located in the northeast of the center of Jinan, in the northern part of the old city. It is a park that combines water scenery, garden landscape, and ancient architecture. Daming Lake is right in the center of the park, and it can even be said that the park is built around the lake. Daming Lake is a natural lake, fed by many springs within the city, known as the "convergence of numerous springs," and its history dates back to the Northern Wei Dynasty. 3. Thousand Buddha Mountain Thousand Buddha Mountain Scenic Area is located in the southern part of central Jinan and is one of the three famous attractions of the city. It was called Li Mountain before the Zhou Dynasty, and it is said that Emperor Shun once cultivated the land at the foot of the mountain, hence it is also known as Shun Farming Mountain. During the Sui Dynasty, many Buddha statues were carved into the mountain, and the "Thousand Buddha Temple" was built, from which the name Thousand Buddha Mountain originates.

Jinan is famous for its 'springs' and 'water', and has many mountains, but it is Qianfo Mountain that blends the landscape with water and allows you to take in the beautiful scenery of 'a city of mountain hues and half a city of lakes' at a glance. Qianfo Mountain is one of the three famous attractions in Jinan, located in the southern part of the old Jinan city. It was known as Lishan before the Zhou Dynasty, and Jinan city was thus named Lixia and Licheng. It is said that Emperor Shun once cultivated the land at the foot of the mountain, also known as Shungeng Mountain, which shows the ancient status of this mountain. Qianfo Mountain is less than 300 meters above sea level, but don't underestimate this small mountain. Due to its advantageous location, Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, carved grottoes and statues on the mountain to pray for his mother's blessings and built the 'Thousand Buddha Temple', hence the name Qianfo Mountain. Moreover, with its steep and rugged terrain, one can view the Yellow River like a ribbon from afar and see Daming Lake as a mirror up close. The scenery is magnificent, making it a famous attraction in Jinan. On the third day of the third lunar month and the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the people of Jinan have the tradition of climbing Qianfo Mountain. Now, Qianfo Mountain is an urban park that combines scenic spots, tourist attractions, and a place for citizens' leisure and fitness. With ancient trees reaching the sky and green grass like a carpet, it has complete dining and entertainment facilities, winding fitness trails, and a cable car for mountain climbing, meeting the needs of all ages in the city. For a visit to Qianfo Mountain, it is recommended to drive or take a bus to the south gate, enter the gate and take the quaint limestone trail up the mountain. After taking in the view of the city from the top of the mountain, descend from the north slope and admire ancient sites such as Shun Temple, Lishan Courtyard, Thousand Buddha Cliff, Xingguo Zen Temple, and Tang Hui along the way. After descending the mountain, you can follow the fitness trail eastward, walk back to the starting point of the south gate, and complete both leisure and fitness activities in no more than 2 hours in total. The ticket price for Qianfo Mountain is 30 yuan, with half price for students. Special tip: From 5:00 to 6:30 in the morning and from 18:00 to 22:30 in the evening, the park is open for free for the public's morning and evening exercises, and you can also join in.
