Covering an area of 5.44 hectares, including 0.8 hectares of water surface, it is a landscape garden featuring primitive wilderness, consisting of ponds, pools, streams and harbors.
Wulongtan spring system has become the best spring group among the four famous spring groups in Jinan. Water gushed from the bottom of the pool, forming Gu Quan, Liu Dongquan, Ma Quan and Li Anquan. At the mouth of the bowl, there is water surging from the eyes of thick springs, splashing like Yuquan, Qingquan and Tanxi Springs. Water overflows from the crevices in Chi Pan and falls into Qingxi, which looks like a waterfall, Gongjiachi and Qiuxi Spring. There are also Tianjing Spring, which is full of thousands of beads and the sky is as heavy as a mirror lake, Honey Fat Spring, Xianqingquan, Hehe Bowl Spring, Jingming Spring and Seventy-three Spring. Wulongtan Park is located outside the west gate of the old city of Jinan and north of Luoyuan Bridge. It is named after Wulongtan. Wulongtan, one of the "seventy-two famous springs" in Jinan recorded in "North" in Jin Dynasty, was called "Grey Bay Spring" at that time. According to historical records, this pool was called "Chi Jing" in the Six Dynasties and "Wangsi Lake" in the Song Dynasty, which was a part of the ancient Daming Lake. According to the Notes on Water Classics, there was this piece of water before the Northern Wei Dynasty, called Chi Jing, which is a corner of Daming Lake. According to legend, the pool water in Wulongtan was unpredictable in the past. Whenever there is a drought, we must pray for rain. So, in the Yuan Dynasty, a good-hearted man built a new Wulong Temple near the pool, which was renamed Wulongtan.
