One of the largest-flowing spring groups along Jinan's moat, with three carved stone tiger heads spouting day and night. You can draw spring water right at the poolside; mornings, locals line up with buckets — an everyday Jinan scene. Head east along the moat's Round-City Park to reach Jiefang Pavilion and Kuanchongli. The name 'Black Tiger Spring' reportedly comes from the tiger-like roar of the water beneath the cliff and a natural stone tiger lying in the grotto. Pleasure boats gliding along the moat merge spring, river, and city into one; at night under the lights, the three spouting tiger heads are the most photogenic — the cover shot of the 'Spring City' image.
