Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An easy walk from Spring City Square and Daming Lake, this tranquil park offers rare glimpses of large spring sources. The water is noticeably clear with plenty of koi fish for amusement. My Chinese wife purchased the tickets with her phone for only ¥20. This was by far the best of similar destinations, including our recent trip to Suzhou. During the Summer, you can opt to take a water taxi from the park "harbor" for a 10 - ¥60 upcharge.

This was a nice walk for my family. My son was able to hop around and check out the springs. We went on a weekend in September and it was PACKED. If though it was packed, we still had a lovely time walking around. We spent about 60 minutes walking around before we were for lunch.

This is a nice peaceful place but crowded during the weekends. If you stay long term, you can buy a long term pass which enable u to visit unlimited time for the whole year

I took a day trip to Jinan, hoping to visit Baotu Spring（趵突泉）after reading the reviews on TripAdvisor. The good thing about this place is that it is in the heart of the city, and from Jinan Railway Station (火车站）, you just have to take Bus no. 3 to Ximen (西门）and you will see Baotu Spring just before you alight.
In my opinion, it is a well-maintained park at best and it is overrated. Sure, there are some picturesque parts of the spring but if you are looking forward to seeing something spectacular, it didn't impress me. The seal pool was plain sad. There was one seal swimming back and forth in that tiny pool and I could almost feel its misery. In winter, the boats are not in service and many plants are covered up with plastic or wood. Also, they fertilise the plants then so there is a bad smell. Perhaps it would be a better time to visit in the other seasons.
On a more positive note, it is a nice place to relax if you are keen to go for a walk or some exercise. Also, it is within walking distance to Daming Lake and Five Dragons pond so you will get to cover them all in a day. However, they are pretty similar.

Visited here on one of our first few days in Jinan. The water levels were low, but the park was beautiful and peaceful. There was many tourist shops dotted around the park which sold refreshments and snacks too. As we were part of a group, I felt our wander around the park was rushed, and would like to revisit and take in more. The highlight was wandering around reading the (very) poorly translated warning signs from Chinese into English.

You seen one, you seen them all. That is about wrap up the "Spring" thingy in Jinan.
Nothing fascinating and you have to pay to get in.
