Jinan has been a scenic spot since ancient times, once known as "everyspring, every weeping willow". Baotu Spring is full of vigor and vitality. Themagnificent Qianfo Mountain and the clear Daming Lake are like two bright pearlshidden in this land. It's very vivid to describe her with "lotus flowers allaround, willows on three sides, mountains in one city and half lakes in thecity"
My hometown is called "Spring City" by people. In her "treasure chest",there are 72 pearls, which always shine and illuminate the whole "treasurechest". The brightest pearl in her is "Baotu Spring". She has three springs, oneof which is the largest. The spring comes out wave after wave, just like a bigwheel, so it is named "Baotu Spring" ”。 Li Qingzhao, an ancient poet, once livedhere. The place she used to wash was later called "shuyuquan". What a beautifulname! There are many small springs around Baotu Spring, such as "woniu spring","Pearl Spring", "Baishi spring" and "Heihu spring". With their decoration, Jinanhas become more and more splendid.
Lao She has written many articles about Jinan, such as spring in Jinan,autumn in Jinan, winter in Jinan, Jinan in three months, Baotu Spring and DamingLake. Lao She's grandfather's "second home" is Jinan. He vividly wrote abeautiful Jinan into his prose.
There are many snacks in Jinan. For example, the famous ones are QuanchengDabao, Caobao baozi, Mengjia's braised hooves, famous people's roast wholesheep, Youxuan and so on. If you come to Jinan, you must try the flavor snacksof Jinan.
According to my mother, Jinan used to be quite different from "SpringCity". Take nanxinzhuang, where we live, as an example. When my mother was inhigh school, it was still a low bungalow. The road here was very narrow. Atmost, it could only accommodate a small car. There were a lot of trafficaccidents every year.
Now it's different. Our nanxinzhuang has been transformed into a Nanxincommunity. Lots of buildings have sprung up. The front and back of the buildingsare as generous as a flower garden. There are magnificent lawns, fountains, andhealth equipment for people's leisure and entertainment. The straight road isnot only widened, traffic lights and monitors are installed at intersections.The markets on both sides of the road are gone. Now tall and straight pine treesare planted, and there is no garbage in the middle of the road. Now it has beenchanged into a traffic safety indicator line. The traffic accidents are fallingyear by year. The road is in order, and there is no noise any more. Highwayshave been built in the city, and high-end cars have entered our families.
Jinan, an antique city, a magnificent Spring City, this is my hometown, itsname is Jinan.
