The Baimai Springs are a group of artesian karst springs located in the town of Ming Shui (míng shuǐ 明水), Zhangqiu City (zhāng qiū 章丘), about 25 kilometers west from the city center of the provincial capital Jinan. The site of the springs is renowned for its natural beauty and as the one-time residence of the female Song Dynasty poet Li Qingzhao (lǐ qīng zhào 李清照).
The Baimai Spring proper is located in the courtyard of the Dragon Spring Temple (lóng quán sì 龙泉寺). Its spring pool covers a rectangular area of 25 by 14.5 meters and has a depth of 2 meters. The springs and the historical buildings that surround them are part of a public park. The park was established in 1985 and covers an area of 25 hectares. Besides the springs, it also contains some small lakes, such as Wanquan Lake (wàn quán hú 万泉湖;literally "10,000 Springs Lake") that are fed by the springs. Within the park, the Qingzhao Ci (qīng zhào cí 清照祠) Poetry Garden is laid out according to the aesthetic principles of ci poetry with the four romantic themes: wind, flowers, snow, and moon.
Now, I gonna show you some pictures of the famous springs in the park.
