Main Attractions in Baotu Spring Park
Baotu Spring
Also called Jianquan Spring, the waters of Baotu Spring gush forth with a thunderous roar from three holes in the underlying bedrock. “When the springhead gushes up”, wrote geographer Li Daoyuan during the Northern Wei Dynasty, “the water rolls like a wheel”. The waters of Baotu Spring preserve a year-round temperature of 18 degrees celsius (65 degrees Fahrenheit), with the result that a cloud of mist often curls up over the spring on winter days, its uppermost extremity constantly sliding upwards into oblivion as fresh mist forms below.
Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall
Li Qingzhao memorial hall, was first build in 1959, rebuilt in 1980, today, it covers an area of more than 4000 square meters and is a typical Song Dynasty building. It shows the great achievements and rough life of a great poetess.
Wan Zhu Garden
Wan Zhu Garden was first built in the Yuan Dynasty, named after the bamboo forest in the garden. Wan Zhu Garden
is located in the west of the scenic spot, covering an area of about 1.4 hectares. It is an ancient courtyard with a variety of styles, such as the Southern style, Beijing style and Jinan style..
