1. Eight Lao Scenic Spots

1. Jinping Spring Dawn Jinping Spring Dawn is the first of the eight scenic spots in Jinan, located on Longdong Mountain in the southeast of Jinan City. The scenic area is surrounded by mountains, with mountains and cliffs, dangerous peaks and cliffs, and the mountains are amazing and the scenery is beautiful. The Jinping Rock on Duxiu Peak is more than 80 meters high. It is named "Jinping" because of its screen-like shape and the surrounding green pines and cypresses and willows. Liu Chi, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, once described the scenery of Jinping Rock like this: "It is dotted with red green and shaded by dawn clouds, and it is as gorgeous as a brocade screen" ("Research on Licheng Scenery")

2. Baotu Soar into the air. As the name suggests, it refers to Baotu Spring, the source of the ancient Luo River and the first of the 72 famous springs in Jinan. It is known as "the best spring in the world". "Eight Scenes of Licheng" records that Baotu Spring is "as powerful as a boiling cloud, several feet high, and crystal clear as a prism", so it is called "Baotu Soaring into the Sky".

3. Appreciating chrysanthemums in Foshan. Fohui Mountain in the southeast of Qianfo Mountain is 460 meters above sea level. It is a steep mountain with dangerous boulders and lingering valleys. In autumn, the mountains are covered with red trees and yellow flowers. During the Double Ninth Festival, literati from past dynasties often climbed here to admire the chrysanthemums and chant them. It was called "Chrysanthemum Appreciation in Foshan".

4. Magpie flowers and misty rain. In the old days, there was an arched stone bridge on the south bank of Daming Lake, called the "Quehua Bridge". On a rainy day in spring and autumn, standing on the bridge and looking northward, I could see the two mountains of Que and Hua in the drizzle, looking as if they were far away. Together, sometimes disappearing and appearing, the clouds and mist are lingering, like two points of blue smoke; coupled with the background of the fields and water villages and fishermen's houses, it is simply like a poem and a dream, rather like a wonderful waterside picture.

5. Huibo evening photo. The springs of the Pearl, Zhuoying, Furong and other springs in Jinan, the spring city, all gather in Daming Lake, and then flow under the Yangong Temple in the northeast corner of the lake. In the old days, there was a Yangong Platform built on the side of the Yangong Temple. From the platform, you can clearly see the city to the north. view. There was an arch bridge not far from the platform, which was named "Huibo". To the north of the bridge is the Beishui Gate, which is built of bricks and stones. The gate is surrounded by weeping willows. The slender willow threads are dotted into the water. The breeze blows and the microwaves ripple. If in the evening, the setting sun is reflected diagonally into the water through the ticket gate, emitting soft light and dyeing everything around it with a layer of orange color. The charming scenery is called "Huibo Evening Light".

6. Boating on Minghu Lake. Go paddle boating on the sparkling Daming Lake, ride the wind and waves, feel the breeze blowing on your face, and watch fish jump over the side of the boat, which is a joy to behold. There is a poem to prove it: "You can see more mountains on the water, and the boat on the bright lake seems to be passing through a mirror." (Quoted from "Eight Scenes of Licheng")

7. White clouds and snow. It refers to the scenery of Baiyun Tower beside Pearl Spring. At the end of the Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Rong, Shandong's travel minister, marshal of the military and horse capital, and an official in Jinan Prefecture, chose to build a private residence by the Pearl Spring, which was known as "Zhang Sheren's Garden". Later, his grandson Zhang Hong, the governor of Yuan Dynasty, built a spectacular Baiyun Tower here. Climb the tower and look around, and you can see the whole city clearly; especially after the snow, when you lean on the railing and look around, you can see clear light all around, and the beautiful scenery is breathtaking. This is called "white clouds and snow".

8. Experience the autumn wind. In ancient times, Daming Lake Lixia Pavilion was located near the current Wulongtan. At that time, every autumn day, standing in the Lixia Pavilion on the high platform, I could see the whole city. I could see the lake's waves, the faint Nanshan Mountain, the rustling of reeds, and the rustling autumn wind. The breeze blows, the willows are whistling, the fragrance of lotus is overflowing, the clear waves are hitting the shore, and the cool breeze is blowing on the clothes, which is refreshing.
