Green and Clarity | The Number One Spring in the World

The first sight of Baotu Spring is just green and damp, a vision filled with greenery and water. By noon, as the sunlight pours down and the crowd becomes lively, the dampness fades away with the feeling, leaving behind green and clarity. This clarity is truly crystal clear, making one linger and forget to return. 🌿 · Spring water gushes out from the underground limestone caves, with 70,000 cubic meters of spring water emerging daily. The spring has three outlets, with the maximum flow reaching 162,000 cubic meters per day. The temperature of Baotu Spring water remains around 18°C throughout the year. · Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong, during his southern tour, found the tea made with Baotu Spring water so mellow and sweet that he bestowed upon it the title 'The Number One Spring in the World'. · Surrounding Baotu Spring are notable historical sites worth visiting, such as Luoyuan Hall, Guanlan Pavilion, Shangzhi Hall, Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall, and Li Kuchan Memorial Museum. I particularly like the Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall, and it was only upon visiting that I realized Li Qingzhao was from Jinan. It's quite moving to think of all the talent from Jinan. 💌 Practical Information: 🎫 Ticket: 40 🕐 Time: All year 07:00-19:00 (Last entry at 18:30) 📍 Address: No.1 Baotuquan South Road, Lixia District, Jinan City, Shandong Province
