Baotu Spring Fan, China Jinan

Baotu Spring, located in Jinan, Shandong, is celebrated as “the First Spring under Heaven.” Its name comes from the three strong jets of water gushing upward, making a sound like “baotu.” It is said that the great writer Li Qingzhao of the Song Dynasty often composed poems by the spring, praising its clarity and melodious sound. As the symbol of Jinan, Baotu Spring embodies the city’s unique spring culture. With constant temperature throughout the year—cool in summer and unfrozen in winter—the spring nourishes the ancient city. The saying “every household has spring water, every family has willows” vividly describes Jinan’s charm shaped by its springs.
