Recommended off-the-beaten-path attractions: Hutongs in Jinan

When visiting Jinan, don't just go to Baotu Spring, Daming Lake, and Thousand Buddha Mountain! - You must visit the hutongs in Jinan to experience the life of the locals, touch the marks of the past, and listen to the stories of the people. - Although I didn't grow up in a hutong, I have a special feeling for them. - Whenever I have free time, I always find myself wandering into the old streets and alleys. Walking on the green stone roads, listening to the sound of the spring water, following in the footsteps of the older generation, and walking through the old streets and alleys, I always feel a sense of nostalgia. - I especially like the hutongs after it snows, especially when the New Year is approaching. The red lanterns in the pure white world give me a sense of warmth. - Watching the snow fall on the eaves, between the tiles, in the alleys, and in the spring water, from white to white, is like a dream. - 🎈Jinan Hutong Travel Guide🎈 ‌✅Qushuiting Street‌: Known as the "Jinan version of Jiangnan Water Town," this place has small bridges, flowing water, green stone roads, and weeping willows, full of traces of time.
