3. Huishan Spring

According to legend, it was personally tasted by Lu Yu, Cha Sheng, China in the Tang Dynasty, so it was also called Lu Ziquan. It was named "the second spring in the world" by Qianlong Imperial Seal. It is located in Xi Hui Park at the foot of Huishan Mountain in the western suburb of Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, and is called "the spiritual liquid on earth" by Kun Li, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Huishan spring originated from an ice cave and flowed out to become a spring water.

4. Tiger Hill Spring

During Zhenyuan period of Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu once lived in Tiger Hill and personally dug a well in the mountain to study the influence of spring water quality on tea making. Because of its sweet and delicious quality, Huqiu Spring was named "the third spring in the world" by Liu Bozhou, a famous family of Pinquan in Tang Dynasty. So Shijing Spring in Huqiu spread all over the world in the name of "the third spring in the world".

5. Baotu Spring

Baotu Spring is located in Lixia District, Jinan City, Shandong Province, with quancheng square in the east and Wulongtan in the north, ranking first among the 72 springs in Jinan. Spring water gushes from underground limestone caves, facing Luoyuan Hall in the north, Guanlan Pavilion in the west, Xianhe Bridge in the east and a promenade in the south. Baotu Spring, together with Thousand Kings Foshan and Daming Lake, are also called the three major scenic spots in Jinan.

Geological conditions of Baotu Spring

1 and Baotu Spring are related to the topographical structure of Jinan. South of Jinan is mountainous and hilly, with Qianfo Mountain, and north is the Yellow River Plain. Jinan is located at the junction of mountains and plains. The mountainous area of Jinan city is composed of limestone, and magmatic rocks are hidden under the soil of the plain.

2. Limestone in mountainous area was formed about 400 million years ago, and its texture is relatively pure. Limestone inclines from south to north with a slope of about 30. Limestone itself is not very dense, with cracks, cracks and caves, which can store and transport groundwater. Groundwater flows to Jinan along the slope of limestone layer and becomes the source of Jinan spring water.
