2. Black Tiger Spring
Black Tiger Spring is one of the four major spring groups in Jinan and is located in Jinan Ring City Park. Black Tiger Spring is the strongest spring in Jinan. Visitors can see the spring water gush out from the three stone tiger head caves, which can reach as far as more than one meter, stirring up layers of snow-white water spray in the square pool made of bluestone, which is fascinating.
3. Shandong Museum
Shandong Museum is located in the core area of ??the new city in eastern Jinan. It has many national first-class cultural relics, such as the Dongping Han Tomb Mural, Sun Tzu's Art of War Bamboo Slips, Song Regulations, and Zheng Xie's Double Pine Scroll, which are very precious and have high historical value.
4. City Ring Park
The City Ring Park is built along the moat, with beautiful and elegant garden architecture. It connects the Baotu Spring Group, the Pearl Spring Group, the Black Tiger Spring Group, the Wulongtan Spring Group, and Daming Lake to form a landscaping center characterized by the spring water in the center of the lake, with "lotus flowers on four sides and willows on three sides." The scenery of "one mountain and one lake" is even more beautiful.
5. Qushuiting Street
Quting Street is adjacent to Daming Lake in the north, Xigeng Road in the south, the north gate of Wangde Palace in the east, and Jinan Confucian Temple in the west. Qushuiting Street has the characteristics of old Jinan. Half of the street is occupied by the creek. The streets follow the water, and the water accompanies the streets. In the middle is a row of weeping willows, with thousands of green threads swaying in the wind, like staffs hanging in the air, lightly playing beautiful notes.
Qushuiting and Qushuiting Street were once gathering places for literati, where they played chess, chatted and drank tea. Ancient literati were invited to meet Pan on the banks of the Qushui River every year on the third day of the third lunar month. They filled the glasses with wine, placed them on wooden trays, and let them drift along the winding creek. They would drink and write poetry as the glasses floated to those they stopped for.
This is what the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi meant when he said in the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" that "the flow of water makes the river bend."
