Jinan is a stop in the Spring City worth making a special stop. For 2 days and 1 night, between Baotu Spring and Daming Lake, encounter the unique atmosphere of Jinan.

Before venturing deep into Jinan, the scent of Baotu Spring had already arrived. From afar, seeing that scene, even the fatigue from traveling quietly soothed me, and I just wanted to stand a little longer.

Daming Lake is the most captivating part of Jinan. Following its veins slowly, every corner hides a different expression, stretching time and space here.

Avoiding the crowds and slipping into Qianfo Mountain, Jinan reveals its true self. Elderly people, alleys, stoves, and laughter all settle in your memory before the scenic spots.

After nightfall, the spring alleys in Jinan are lit up, and the warm yellow glow turns the grandeur of the day into gentleness. Sitting down and doing nothing is also a form of arrival.

When leaving Jinan, I felt a bit reluctant, but what played in my mind was Baotu Spring. But it was precisely this reluctance that proved the trip was worthwhile—it quietly left a part of itself with you.
