Day 1: Old City City Walk route

Baotu Spring → Wulongtan → Daming Lake → Qushuiting Street → Baihuazhou → Heihu Spring. Along the way, there are many hidden small spots, strolling slowly is very enjoyable~

- ✔️ Baotu Spring: Recommended to enter from the East Gate, ticket 40 yuan, head straight to the main spring to see the "three streams" very clearly;
- ✔️ Wulongtan: Enter from the South Gate to save time, the core check-in spot is right at the entrance, no detours needed;
- ✔️ Daming Lake: Suggested to visit twice! Enter from the North Gate in the afternoon, walk about a quarter of the way then exit from the South Gate; come back at night to see the Chaoran Tower lit up, and there are often small performances by the lake, creating a great atmosphere!

Day 2: Mountain hiking route

Scorpion Mountain → Centipede Mountain → Fohui Mountain → Qianfo Mountain. This route requires some stamina, choose according to your condition~
Actually, the difficulty of these mountains is not high, and they are close to each other. The first three can be connected directly, and Qianfo Mountain is right opposite Fohui Mountain. The colors of Scorpion Mountain in autumn are very rich, and you can wait for a stunning sunset at the top 🌄!

Day 3: Suburban self-driving route

Want to escape the city? The southern mountainous area is definitely the place, it’s like Jinan’s hidden paradise! Recommended route: Wohu Mountain Reservoir → Red Leaf Valley → Jiuru Mountain.
