 February is off-season for tourism in Jinan, so attractions are not packed with tourists which is perfect for photography enthusiasts as crowd-free scenic photos can be captured. If snow falls in February, the ancient buildings of Baotu Spring are blanketed in white, the gushing springs swirl with mist, and the plum blossoms bloom in late February — all uniquely winter spectacles. Besides, February always coincides with the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, offering a perfect opportunity to experience the festive atmosphere. During the Spring Festival, Daming Lake and the Baotu Spring scenic area host lantern festivals, along with traditional performances.
 The climate is the biggest drawback. February is cold, with a sharp temperature swing between day and night, making it easy to catch a cold. The dry air can cause dry skin and sore throats. Furthermore, boat cruises may be suspended and Daming Lake’s vegetation is withered, making the scenery less appealing.
  Clothes: Wear layers to keep yourself toasty. A down coat is a must and a woolen coat works for warmer days. A thick sweater and thermal underwear are the must-have. 

 Shoes: Winter boots with thicker socks.

 Others: 
1. Make sure to pack your winter accessories like a warm hat, a pair of gloves, and a scarf.
2. Bring your body lotion and lip pomade to resist the dry weather.
3. Take a portable charger as your phone will loss much battery on cold days.
 A trip to Jinan wouldn’t be complete without visiting the springs. During the lantern festival, the spring parks have more special things to offer. Baotu Spring, Daming Lake and Wulongtan Park are decorated with the most beautiful and giant lanterns in different shapes which are lit at 18:00. Various folklore performances like lion dances and stilt walking captivate travelers to experience the magic of the festival.
 If outdoor sightseeing makes you freeze, the Shandong Museum is not only a perfect escape from the cold but also a cultural experience not to be missed. The provincial museum houses many national treasures and its exhibition about the city’s spring culture offers insights into the historical origins of its nickname, “City of Springs.” If rainy or snowy weather ruins your plan, the Shandong Museum is the first choice to adjust your itinerary.
 1.Plan your outdoor activities at noon and indoor activities in mornings and evenings to keep yourself away from cold.
2. There is a water intake point at Black Tiger Spring Park where you can collect spring water to have a taste.
