There are many interesting tourist attractions in Jinan. If you want friends in go on road trip, I recommend you to visit Daming Lake, Baotu Spring, Jiurushan and Hong Yegu, which are all very worth visiting. See below for details. 1. Daming Lake
Daming Lake is located in the center of Jinan city and the north of the old city, and it is also known as the three scenic spots in Jinan with Baotu Spring and Qianfo Mountain. Jinan is known as the "Spring City", with more than 1 springs, including 72 famous springs. Ming Lake is a natural lake formed by the confluence of springs. Spring water flows in from the south bank, and flows out from Beishuimen, which was built on the north bank in the Song Dynasty, when the water is full. The bottom of the lake is composed of impervious igneous rocks, so the lake "does not rise under constant rain and does not dry up after a long drought" and maintains a relatively fixed water level all the year round. The park covers an area of 86 hectares, including 46 hectares of lakes. There are six islands on the lake, such as Lixiating Pavilion, Huiquan Hall and Island in the middle of the lake. The natural landscape of the park is beautiful and pleasant. The lake is sparkling, kites fly and fish jump, and cruise ships pass by. Since ancient times, Daming Lake has been full of lotus flowers, weeping willows and lush flowers and trees. "Lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city" is the best portrayal of her scenery. 2. Baotu Spring
