A canyon waterfall group in the southern mountains, a national 4A-level scenic area. Ten kilometers of wooden boardwalks link eight pools, nine waterfalls and twenty-four springs; negative-oxygen-ion levels are high, and average summer temperatures run about 5°C lower than downtown (as recorded). The surrounding Xiuchuan river basin is an offshoot range of Mount Tai and was once a woodcutters' trail. The water-side design of the boardwalks leads among northern mountain scenic areas, making it Jinan locals' backyard summer retreat, with mountain-produce markets also held in the spring-blossom and autumn-foliage seasons.
Getting there: Tourist express bus / self-drive, approx. 1.5 hours (Xiying Subdistrict)
