The World's Best Spring Scenic Spot, occupying 3 square kilometers in Jinan, the capital of Shandong province, enjoys favorable location and transport. It is a national AAAAA-level scenic spot.

The spot consists of Moat River, Daming Lake, Baotu, Black Tiger and Five-dragon Pond springs and Baotu, Huancheng, Five-dragon Pond and Daming Lake parks. It boasts unique natural landscapes and profound historical and cultural heritages.

The core part of the scenic spot is Baotu Spring, which is known locally as the "Best Spring in the World." Together with the other springs, water converges into the rivers and then flow into Daming Lake. The springs, rivers, lake and ancient walls and mansions from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) set each other off perfectly, creating a picturesque scene.
