Day 04Departure from Jinan

When traveling to Jinan, a visit to the spring is a must, for it is a famous 'Springs City' boasting hundreds of springs. Today, our guide will accompany you to tour the Baotu Spring and the Black Tiger Spring. Baotu Spring is renowned as the best of the 72 famous springs in Jinan and the earliest of them included in history records. Here, you could enjoy the water bursting out from the three outlets, creating thunderous sounds and spraying water jets; you could appreciate the ancient pavilions and halls reflecting in the clear water, creating a landscape virtually emulating paradise. The Black Tiger Spring is one of the four most famous spring groups in Jinan. It is named so because the water pours out from three stone sculptures in the shape of tiger head and the sound created is like the tiger roaring. Your tour in Jinan ends here and our guide will transfer you to the airport to see you off.
