You asked the right person this question. I just made a detailed travel guide for Jinan some time ago. Going to Jinan alone, I have a treasure place that I can't miss. Let me share my experience below, hoping to help you.

Baotuquan Scenic Area Address: Baotuquan South Road 1, Lixia District, Jinan

"Don't drink Baotu spring water, take a trip to Jinan." When you come to Jinan, how can you not see Baotu Spring, the first of 72 springs in Jinan and known as "the first spring in the world", and see the magnificent scene of Baotu Spring erupting?

Baotu Spring, together with Qianfo Mountain and Daming Lake, are also called the three famous places of interest in Jinan. Spring water is constant at around 18℃ all the year round, and there is a thin layer of smoke on the water surface in severe winter, which Jinan people call "cloud steaming and fog moistening".
