【Jinan·Daming Lake】Do you remember the summer lotus at Daming Lake? |||⏰June 20, 2023, in the evening 📝It is recommended to visit Daming Lake around dusk, as not only is the daytime scenery beautiful, but the sunset glow in the evening is also unparalleled, and surely no one would want to miss the night view of the Lixia Pavilion. Although it is said that one cannot have both the fish and the bear's paw, if we compare the beauty of Daming Lake during the day to the fish and the beauty in the evening to the bear's paw, then enjoying the beauty during the day and then in the evening could be considered as having both the fish and the bear's paw.

🌟 **Jinan Exploration | Travel Tips 🚂 Watching the night scenery flowing outside the window, we embarked on the train from Xingtai to Jinan at two o'clock in the morning. Although the time was a bit unusual, the anticipation of Jinan's beautiful scenery filled us with energy.🌙 🏠 Upon arrival, we chose accommodation near Daming Lake. The first rays of the morning sun reflected on the lake surface, tranquil and beautiful. 🍃 Our first destination was Baotu Spring. In this place known as the 'Spring City,' we felt the strong cultural heritage. Although it requires a ticket, the misty waters of Baotu Spring were refreshing and delightful. 🍜 When hunger struck, we headed to Furong Street to taste various authentic Jinan snacks. The steaming pancakes and fragrant drunken shrimp made us linger and forget to return. Hidden in the alleys of Furong Street, there are many interesting shops, each a great spot for checking in. 🚖 Next, we took a ride to Tu San and Jiaxin Hutong. These popular photo spots attracted many tourists, but also lost some of Jinan's most authentic scenery. 🚌 Taking the bus, we arrived at Qushuiting Street. The collision of ancient architecture and modern commerce on both sides of the street showcased the diverse styles of Jinan. Especially at night, Qushuiting Street was brilliantly lit and bustling. 🍷 As night fell, we visited Kuanhouli to taste Jinan's cuisine and bar culture. The Ice House left a deep impression on us, with its comfortable environment and beautiful music, allowing us to spend a pleasant evening. At the same time, the night view of Chaoran Tower was also uniquely charming. 🌅 The next morning, we decided to revisit Qushuiting Street and Daming Lake, wanting to capture the beauty of the sunrise. At this moment, the lake and mountains, accompanied by the soft light of dawn, made us appreciate the beauty of life. Summary: The unique charm of Jinan lies in its rich historical and culinary culture. Although the traffic is somewhat congested, each scenic spot exudes its own charm, worth taking the time to savor and explore.

Daming Lake can be said to be the most representative attraction of Jinan: "Lotuses on all sides, willows on three, a city of mountain hues, half a city lake." When it comes to Daming Lake, the most famous quote is from the TV series 'My Fair Princess,' where the Emperor is asked if he remembers the summer lotus by the Daming Lake. Visiting Jinan, one must go to Daming Lake. It was by the Daming Lake that Li Qingzhao met Zhao Mingcheng, and their affection for each other blossomed, "Washed by the dew, the apple blossoms and the grassy banks." Arriving at Daming Lake, you not only appreciate the beauty of the natural scenery but also feel a tranquility that is far from the madding crowd. You can take a stroll on the bluestone paths when the sunlight is just right, feel the gentle warmth of winter, and experience the 'Jinan in winter' as described by the famous writer Lao She. The most famous sight at Daming Lake is undoubtedly the Chaoran Pavilion. The current Chaoran Pavilion was rebuilt in 2008. The dimly lit Chaoran Pavilion transports one across ancient and modern times at a glance.
