Jinan, capital of East China's Shandong province, is home to 72 famous springs. The city is also known as the "Spring City" and for the fact that "Jinan springs are the best springs in the world." Their springs are known for spreading everywhere with water that is clear, sweet, and pure.

Pearl Spring in Jinan is famous for its numerous natural springs. Jets of silver bubbles gush from the bottom of its pools and reflect the sunlight, which Qing Dynasty scholar Wang Chang has described as "creating an unparalleled scroll painting full of pearls."
