Jinan, Shandong province

Jinan is the capital city of Shandong province, one of China's cradles of civilization. Jinan is called the City of Springs due to the many natural springs located in and around the city. Jinan also has a decent history museum, the Shandong provincial history museum, and Baotu Spring, where its most famous spring is located and the most attractive garden I've ever seen in China.
