Sorting memories from nine years ago,
I visited the finest spring of Jinan.
To the north lies famed Daming Lake,
To the south, Thousand Buddha Mountain.

Three vents gush forth without cease,
Ranked first among seventy-two springs.
After touring, I wandered the city,
Jinan's impression: amidst beautiful waters.
