Baotu Spring

Another attraction site is the Baotu Spring. It was formed because of Jinan's special geographical position and geological structure. The spring keeps its temperature at about 18 degree Celsius all year round, meaning the spring water will not be frozen even in winter. Water bursts out through three outlets and water columns surge upward, looking like spinning wheels. Being a geography teacher, I find this place very interesting. It's like Geography comes alive. Heard from the guide that the secret to longevity of the Jinan people is partly due to the spring water they drink from here. So let's not wait and rush for the spring water!
