[Must-See Spots in Jinan! A Day Trip Through the Wonderland of Springs]

How amazing is Jinan, the "city of mountains and half a city of lakes?" In three minutes, I'll take you through the treasures of the City of Springs described by Lao She!

📍Baotu Spring: The No. 1 spring in the world lives up to its name! Three clear springs surge like snow, and the bamboo forest corridor of Li Qingzhao's former residence instantly creates a stunning ancient-style scene. 🌊 (Shot: Close-up of the spring + Hanfu transition)

📍Daming Lake: Take a painted boat through the "lotuses on all four sides and willows on three sides." Xia Yuhe's meeting place hides many popular photo spots! 🛶 (Shot: Aerial view of the lake + sunset silhouette)

📍Thousand Buddha Mountain: Climb to the top for a panoramic view of the city! The Sui Dynasty grotto Buddha statues and the red leaves in the mountains create a beautiful Zen-like painting. ⛰️ (Shot: Time-lapse of the sea of clouds + red ribbons for blessings)

📍Qushuiting Street: Blue stone roads with tanghulu dipped in sour sauce. Drink large bowls of tea in the courtyards of spring water residents. The local life of old Jinan is hidden here! 🍵 (Shot: Close-up of spring water + folk performances)

✨Hidden Gems: The moat cruise connects the four major spring groups. Get spring water at Black Tiger Spring and eat braised pork at Furong Street. Jinan's romance is made from spring water~

💡Tips: The scenic spots are concentrated, so we recommend walking + shared bikes. Remember to bring a water cup to the spring water direct drinking spots!
