Live Your Best Lives
Wuyou Spring, located south of Baotu Spring and connected to it to the north, is listed in the Jin Dynasty's "Famous Springs Monument" and other annals. Living up to its name, Wuyou Spring's crystal-clear waters will cast all worries aside. Located south of Baotu Spring Park, Wuyou Spring is flanked by lush trees. Its pool is constructed of irregular, natural stone. Due to its depth, large streams of water surge from the bottom, creating ripples on the surface.
The spring water is crystal clear, with stones trembling with the waves, water plants floating, and schools of fish swimming around. The largest ones are nearly a meter in size, the smallest are only an inch in size, and the colors are dazzling. Old and young people play around the spring, creating a scene of paradise.
Jinan has a temperate monsoon climate with obvious monsoons and distinct four seasons: dry and rainy spring, warm and rainy summer, cool and dry autumn, and cold and snowy winter.
