Baotu Spring is the main landscape of the park. The spring pool is 30 meters long from east to west and 20 meters wide from north to south. The spring water is divided into three streams and gushes out of the ground. The spring is crystal clear. There are large blocks of bricks and stones around the spring and railings around it, overlooking the wonders of the three springs in the pool. There are more than 30 famous springs near Baotu Spring, such as Jinxianquan, Shuyuanquan, Xibo Spring, Liuxuquan, Huanghua Spring, Dukangquan and Bailongquan, which constitute Baotu Spring Group. Among them, Shu Yuquan is related to Li Qingzhao, a poetess in Song Dynasty. Her former residence is near Shuyuanquan, named after her collection. Now the memorial hall of Li Qingzhao in northern Quan Quan is built to commemorate this famous poetess. It is worth mentioning that the south gate of Baotuquan Park is magnificent and elegant. The horizontal plaque "Baotu Spring" on the gate is written in gold on a blue background, which is the imperial pen of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Some people call it the "first door" of China gardens, which is no exaggeration. There is a stone tablet on the edge of Baotu Spring with the title "First Spring", which is dark green and inscribed by Wang Zhonglin who lived in Licheng during Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty.
At present, there is a Song Dynasty building "Luoyuan Hall" in the north of Baotu Spring (now rebuilt in Qing Dynasty), and there are couplets hanging on the pillars on both sides of the hall, "Clouds and water are moist and steaming, and waves shock Daming Lake"; There is an Amin dynasty building "Guanlan Pavilion" in the southwest. The stone tablet standing in the water in front of the pavilion reads "Baotu Spring", which was written by Hu Yongzong, a calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty. To the east of Dong Chi is the "Laihe Bridge". At the southern end of the bridge stands an antique wooden archway with the words "Blessed Heaven" and "Pengshan Former Site" written on its forehead.
Baotu spring water gushes from underground limestone caves, with a maximum inflow of 240,000 cubic meters per day and an exposed elevation of 26.49 meters. The water is crystal clear, the water quality is mellow and sweet, and the bacterial content is extremely low. After testing, it meets the national drinking water standard, is an ideal natural drinking water, and can be directly drunk. "Flying" is the first of the eight scenic spots in Jinan in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The spring water is kept at around 18 degrees Celsius all the year round. In winter, the water vapor curled up like a thin layer of smoke. On the one hand, the spring pool is deep and sparkling, and on the other hand, the pavilions are picturesque and beautifully carved, which constitutes a wonderful fairyland on earth. Locals call it "cloud steaming and fog moistening". Baotu Spring is an ideal drinking water with clear and transparent water quality and sweet taste. According to legend, Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River and took Yuquan water from Beijing when he left Beijing. After he tasted Baotu spring water in Jinan, he immediately changed to Baotu spring water and named Baotu spring "the first spring in the world". The spring is in Fangchi, facing Luoyuan Hall in the north, Guanlan Pavilion in the west, Xianhe Bridge in the east and a promenade in the south, with excellent scenery. There are goldfish in the spring pool, and the biggest one is more than three feet long. On the east side of the spring, opposite the crane bridge, Heting Tea House is expected to provide tourists with fragrant teas brewed with Baotu spring water.
