趵突泉

Centering around springs, Baotu Spring Park is a natural rock and

spring garden unique in ethnic style. Baotu Spring, the best one among

the famous 72 springs in Jinan, is hailed as \"the first spring under the

heaven\

falling around, just like three piles of snow, which is very spectacular.

The spring water is very sweet, optimum for making tea, which is limpid in color, rich in aroma, good in taste. Sitting under the \"Watching Crane Pavilion\" in the east side of the spring with a cup of tea in hand, one's mind will fly faraway and hates to leave.

Throughout history, Baotu Spring Park is the performing place for talk-show and local opera. During the weekend, some classical pieces of Peking Opera, such as \"seeking a rich son-in-law\" and \"watch-Yangzi River pavilion\will be performed under the \"White Snow Building\". Tourists can also enjoy some local special opera here, like Lü Ju and Liuzi Opera.

\"Bamboo Woods Garden\" takes a land of 18 Mu and the garden got its name in the Yuan Dynasty, when the garden was very large and full of bamboo. In the garden lie some famous springs, including Wangshui Spring, Donggao

Spring and Baiyun Spring, four pavilions, five bridges and one flower garden. In 1985, the Memorial Hall of Li Kuchan was established here and now the \"Bamboo Grove Garden\" is attached to the Baotu Spring Park.

趵突泉公园是一座以泉水为主的民族形式的自然山水园林，风光秀丽，内涵丰富。名列济南七十二泉之冠的趵突泉被誉为“天下第一泉”，泉水分三股并发，水花四溅，喷射数尺，壮如白雪三堆，称“趵突腾空”，蔚为奇观。

泉水质洁甘美，用来沏茶，色清、味醇、爽口、坐在泉东端的“望鹤亭茶社”饮泉品茗，令众多游人心旷神怡，流连忘返。

趵突泉还是历代唱戏说书的场所。春夏秋双休日上午在白雪楼戏剧舞台有专场京剧演出，以“钓金龟”、“望江亭”等经典剧目为主，还可以看到山东特色戏剧吕剧、柳子戏，以及曲艺等节目，游人还可以与演员联欢、联唱，自娱自乐。

万竹园占地18亩。万竹园之名始建于元朝，当时面积很大，因竹林成片，环境优美而得名。园内有望水泉、东高泉、白云泉等名泉，还有4亭、5桥、1处花园。1985年，李苦禅纪念馆建于此园内。现万竹园已归趵突泉公园。
