Exploring the Famous Springs: Five Dragon Pool & Baotu Spring

In the morning, I walked to Five Dragon Pool Park (free admission), which features over 20 spring pools with crystal-clear water. Despite the light rain, strolling around and taking photos was quite enjoyable as there were few visitors. The park offers a serene garden and water landscape, making it a comfortable place to explore. I spent about an hour and a half there before leaving. Next, I walked across the street to Baotu Spring (admission ¥40), one of Jinan's top three must-visit attractions. Even in the rain, the site was crowded with tourists. The clear spring water was indeed beautiful, but the heavy rain caused poor drainage, leading to water accumulation everywhere. Additionally, the pathways were not well-marked, so I had to rely on navigation to roughly cover the park.
