Baimai Spring Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Ink spring. Well, the name could make you think the water is colored or even has some impurities. No, this is just because of big black stone laying above the spring flow on the surface. Water is going up and creates image of something mysterious producing this disturbance and radiating some power. Water cold and clean and it could be felt when you are approaching to well.
This Spring could be found in Baimai Park, Jinan City, Shandong province.

Baimai Spring Park or 百脉泉公园, which means "white artery"(bai mai). This park is big and cover territory included gardens, temple, lake and numerous springs. Park is located is far away from the city center, actually it is almost outside of Jinan city, but I think it should be included in the scenic spot list if you are in Jinan City. Public transportation takes about two and a half hour to get there from Jinan city center.
There are many springs in a park, some of them having wells and adorned with stoned plates. The big lake offers good recreational zone.

Zhujiayu Ancient Village, exploring the centuries-old history of the first village in Qilu
Known as the "first ancient village in Qilu, a specimen of settlements in the north of the river", this ancient village has a history of over 600 years.
It is Zhujiayu Ancient Village in Zhangqiu, Jinan, the spring city.
Zhangqiu Zhujiayu Village, located in Guanzhuang Township, Zhangqiu City, Shandong Province, was entered by the Zhu family in 1371 during the Hongwu years of the Ming Dynasty. Because it was the surname of the country, it was named Zhujiayu.
Zhujiayu is a good place for vacation, tourism, and leisure. The ancient village is presented in a trapezoidal shape. Personally, I think it's worth coming, mainly because I like ancient rural towns.
Standing in the Kui Xing Pavilion in the village, you can overlook the whole view of Zhujiayu. The entrance of Zhujiayu Village is in the north, surrounded by green mountains on three sides of the southeast and west. The north side is a vast plain, and the village is like sitting on a huge master chair, with the entire village cleverly hidden in the green trees and rocks.
Today, Zhujiayu has nearly 200 ancient buildings of various sizes, more than 20 stone bridges, more than 20 wells and springs, more than 10 temples, including the Kangxi Double Bridge known as the "prototype of the world's overpass", the ancient double-track road known as the "pioneer of ancient transportation", and the Wenchang Pavilion, Guandi Temple, Zhu Family Ancestral Hall, Tan Bridge Seven Bends, etc., there are countless cultural and natural landscapes.
It is also a film and television shooting base. For example, the film and television dramas such as "Breaking through the East", "Red Sister-in-law", "Leaning on the Mountain", "Forever Spring" that once swept the north and south of the Yangtze River were all shot here.
It's worth coming to explore.

🏞The earthy yellow road, the hard stone wall, the simple villagers, every grass and tree in Zhujia Yu are fascinating. If you have time, you must visit Zhujia Yu and feel its history.
According to statistics, 900,000 villages in China have disappeared in just ten years, and Zhujiatun is the only Chinese historical and cultural village in Shandong Province. The temples, pavilions, ancient bridges and ancient cultural sites are scattered.
The first door through the village - Limen, is the ancient road that was built in the Ming Dynasty. There are two large blocks of bluestone embedded in the center of the road. The villagers call it the double track ancient road.
Zhu Jiayu became famous overnight, or because of the TV series "Zhang Guandong", the story of the protagonist Zhu Kaishan in the play was also taken from here. Zhujiatun has nearly 200 large and small ancient buildings, 99 large and small stone bridges, 66 well springs, and more than 100 natural landscapes.
