Baotu Spring in Jinan, Shandong province, is at its summer best, with its three main springs sending crystal-clear water high into the air.

The groundwater level reached 29.64 meters on July 27, the highest recorded this summer. The higher water level has intensified the spring's flow, with clear water rippling across the pool as koi weave between the rocks and ducks glide on the surface.

Around the spring, traditional pavilions and old trees cast shimmering reflections on the water, creating a tranquil contrast to the bubbling spring outlets.
