Jinan's Baotu Spring, known as the 'Number One Spring under the Heaven'

The spring water in Jinan is so green! ||• Baotu Spring gurgles, as if the Dragon King has presented a white jade pot; the wet bluestone slabs, never dry even when the East Sea runs low; admiring the famous spring, sipping fine tea, the elegant culture of Jinan Prefecture on the right side of the sea; surrounded by lotuses on four sides and willows on three, the city is graced with mountain hues and half-encircled by a lake. Baotu Spring is one of the three major attractions in Jinan and a must-visit spot for tourists. Located east of Quancheng Square and north of Wulongtan, it is the most renowned among the seventy-two famous springs in Jinan. Emperor Qianlong, during his southern tour, praised the water of Baotu Spring for making tea with a rich and sweet flavor, and he conferred the title 'Number One Spring under the Heaven' upon it. It is also the earliest spring in Jinan mentioned in ancient documents. Recommended best visiting seasons: March to May, September to October. Jinan's winter is quite cold, and visiting during this time might feel bleak in the park, plus the precipitation is low, resulting in less vigorous spring water spray
