First, Daming Lake Travel Guide
1. Description of scenic spots: Lotus flowers on four sides and willow trees on three sides, with mountains and lakes in one city. The most beautiful scenery in Jinan is Daming Lake. Daming Lake is a rare natural lake in a bustling city. It is made up of many springs in Jinan. Together with Baotu Spring and Qianfo Mountain, it has become the three major scenic spots in Jinan. At the same time, Daming Lake is also an important scenic spot, an open window and a tourist attraction in Jinan, and is known as the Pearl of Quancheng. It is a tourist attraction integrating ancient gardens, ancient roads and ancient water conservancy.
2. Geographical location: No.271,Hu Ming Road, Lixia District, Jinan, Shandong.
3. Business hours: 5: 00 to 22: 00.
4. Ticket price: Tickets for Daming Lake Scenic Area are free, but you need to pay extra for entering some scenic spots. For example, tickets for Chao Ran Tower, 40 yuan, cruise ship and Xinjiaxuan Memorial Temple are 10 yuan and 5 yuan respectively.
5. Must-play Landscape: There are more than 30 scenic spots in Daming Lake Scenic Area, among which I especially recommend the autumn moon in Huming Lake, the misty rain in Quehua, the evening scenery of Huibo and the reflection of Foshan.
Autumn moon in Huming Lake: On a good night in autumn, sit quietly by the Daming Lake with a wide view, waiting for the bright moon to reach the sky gradually. The lake is as level as a mirror, the moonlight is bright, the breeze is blowing gently, and the lotus fragrance is floating. Its amazing scenery makes people feel like they are in a fairy tale garden. Faced with this situation, it will inevitably remind you of the ancient poem praising the magnificent scenery of "Ming Lake and Autumn Moon": "Wanqing Lake is as flat as a mirror, and April and autumn are the best."
Que Hua Yan Yu: Que Hua Yan Yu is one of the eight scenic spots in Jinan. Whenever it rains in autumn, Hua 'er Mountain is overlooked in the north. It is in the drizzle, and sometimes it appears and disappears. The clouds are like two points of smoke. You can see it from Quehua Bridge in Daming Lake, Huibo Building and the top of Qianfo Mountain.
Huibo night photo: Huibo night photo is also one of the eight scenic spots in Jinan, and the viewing place is Huibo Building. In the northeast corner of Daming Lake, there is a gate called Beishuimen, a bridge called Huibo Bridge on the gate, a temple called Gong Yan Temple under the bridge, a platform called Gong Yan Platform under the temple, and a gate under the stage as a voucher door. There is water under the door and willows by the door. The willow covered the door and fell into the water. The breeze is blowing, the willows are falling and the water is wrinkling. The scenery around them is dyed orange against the setting sun, which is particularly enchanting. Its scenery is called "Huibo Night Photo".
Reflection of Foshan: When the air is clear and calm, the shadow of Thousand Foshan can be clearly reflected in Daming Lake. This is the so-called Foshan reflection, which is the characteristic landscape of Daming Lake.
6. Tourist routes: Here, I recommend three tourist routes to you, all of which I have been to personally. List them in order of playing time from long to short.

7. Transportation: It is best to take a bus or drive to the scenic spot.
If you choose to drive by car, you can get off the Jingtai Expressway at the west exit of Jinan, drive eastward along Jingshi Road, get on the Shunhe Viaduct, and exit at Minghui North Road, which is the Hubei Gate of Daming Lake. The whole journey takes about 30 minutes by car. There are about 500 parking spaces in the scenic spot.
If you choose public transportation, there are many routes to choose from:
K 1 1, k4 1, k66, k507 and k 109 can reach the bus stop at the southwest gate of Daming Lake.
K 1 1, 4 1, 507, k 109 and k 170 can reach Daming Lake Bus Station.
K 14, k30, k3 1, k36, k4 1, k46 and k83 can reach the bus stop at the east gate of Daming Lake.
K6, k30, k33, k45, k83, k 1 18 and k 122 can reach the bus stop at the north gate of Daming Lake.
8. Recommended reason: During my four years in Jinan, I basically visited Daming Lake once every two or three months. On the lake, kites are flying, fish are jumping, lotus flowers are full of ponds, and original boats are passing by; The sunny shore is thick, full of flowers, and tourists are woven; In the meantime, pavilions and pavilions of various colors are scattered all over the place, and the distant mountains, near water and clear sky are integrated into one, just like a huge color picture scroll. Moreover, Daming Lake is an open park, so you can visit it at any time without tickets. The reason why I recommend Daming Lake as a must-see attraction in Jinan is precisely because of its beautiful scenery, profound heritage and high cost performance.
9. Accommodation recommendation: In terms of accommodation, the homestays around the scenic spot are relatively cost-effective and unique. Basically, choose one and you won't step on the thunder. In terms of food, I suggest that you must try some local special snacks. I personally recommend Jiuzhuan large intestine, buttered Typha, Jinan roast duck, crispy soup, fried lotus, soup tea and so on.
Second, Baotu Spring Travel Guide

Connected to quancheng square in the east, it is a characteristic garden with the theme of spring water, which is known as "the first spring in the world" and has a history of more than 2,000 years. It has also appeared in literary works many times, the most representative of which is Baotu Spring written by Lao She. Most tourists come here to see the spectacular sight of Baotu spring and three springs erupting at the same time.
2. Geographical location: Located in Lixia District, Jinan City, Shandong Province, with quancheng square in the east and Wulongtan in the north.

4. Ticket price: 40 yuan per person, students can enjoy half price with student ID card, and the elderly (over 60 years old) can enjoy free.
5, must play landscape: Baotu Spring has many landscapes, I especially recommend four of them:
Baotu Spring: This is the essence and core of the scenic spot. Tug is not only used to describe the jumping and ejection of springs, but also used to simulate the ejection sound of springs, pun intended.
Wanzhu Park: There is a yard in the garden, and one yard is connected with another yard, so each yard is different. From Li Kuchan Memorial Hall, you can visit Pomegranate Garden, Yulan Park, Apricot Garden, Papaya Garden, Begonia Garden and Xiyuan Garden.
Cangyuan: In Ming and Qing Dynasties, Cangyuan became an academy, and now it is the Wang Xuetao Memorial Hall of the famous freehand brushwork flower and bird painter.

Visitors can buy tickets at all stations, and the operation time is 09.
6. Tour route: There are 72 springs in Baotu Spring Scenic Area and its surroundings, but it is not necessary to take turns to visit them all. According to my own experience, I list some more distinctive scenic spots, which can save the tour time to the maximum extent.
Hiking route: Enter from the east gate-Qingyuxi-Shuyuanquan-Mapaoquan-Baihua Garden-Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall-Tianchi Pavilion-Paotuquan-Huaqiangzi Spring-Dengzhou Spring-Wanzhu Park-Wuxouquan-Baixuelou-Zhan Lu Spring-Jiuquan-Cangyuan-and end the tour from the south gate.

And you can take a boat to other scenic spots after visiting Baotu Spring according to the previous hiking route).
7. Mode of transportation: There are many buses, which are very convenient. Driving is not recommended.
Baotuquan Dongmen Station: k 103, k 104, k 109, k 1, k4 1, k5 1 and k54.
South Gate Station of Baotu Spring: k 100, k 102, k 103, k 104, k 128, k 165, k28.
8. Recommended reason: Baotu Spring is one of the three major scenic spots in Jinan and a must-see attraction in Jinan. The park is small, and you can visit it in half a day. But there are many scenic spots in the park, such as springs, stone bridges, house numbers and stone tablets. There are many trees in the garden, green grass and weeping willows, which have both the graceful beauty of Jiangnan gardens and the unique quiet beauty of Quancheng. At the same time, you can also taste the spring water of Baotu Spring. After drinking it, I personally feel that the taste is ok, the water quality is clear, sweet and delicious.
9. Special activities: Baotu Spring has a long history and many historical sites in the park, which is worth visiting.
Double Imperial Monument: This monument was jointly inscribed by Kangxi Qianlong. Because few two emperors wrote inscriptions on the same tablet, it is rare. Now this monument is placed in the three halls on the north side of Baotu Spring. You can go and have a look if you are interested.
Shu Yuquan: When Li Qingzhao visited this spring, she wrote Shu Yu Ci. When visiting Baotu Spring, you can pay special attention to Shu Yuquan, and you can also visit Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall.
Drinking spring water: Baotu Spring has several direct drinking spots, and you can personally taste the spring water praised by Emperor Qianlong.
