Daming Lake, together with Baotu Spring and Qianfo Mountain, constitutes three major scenic spots in Jinan. Daming Lake occupies one third of the old city of Jinan, located in the north of the old city. Daming Lake is a natural lake formed by the confluence of many springs. It has a peculiar landscape of "no snake, no baby, no constant rain, no drought". Daming Lake has not only natural lake water, but also many historical and cultural landscapes around the lake. Historically, literary heroes such as Du Fu, Zeng Gong and Xin Qiji all left pen and ink in Daming Lake. The biggest attraction of Daming Lake is the Lixia Pavilion on the island in the center of the lake. Du Fu's "Haiyou this pavilion ancient, Jinan famous scholar. " That's the true picture here. The legend that Emperor Qianlong visited Daming Lake and met the rainy lotus in summer adds romance to this place. At the Arctic Pavilion Pier, you can choose to go by boat (ticket is 10 yuan). The author suggests that you must go, because there is the essence of Daming Lake. When we arrived at the island by boat, we saw the ancient pavilion with upright dignity, simple and elegant, red pillars, green tiles and octagonal eaves. This was where the Tang Dynasty poet Saint Du Fu and Beihai Taishou Li Yong met. Then Du Fu's poem "Haiyou this pavilion ancient, Jinan famous scholar many" made this place famous. Today's calendar pavilions were rebuilt during the reign of Kangxi, and the words "calendar pavilions" in the central part of the pavilion were written by Emperor Qianlong. Emperor Qianlong would surely come to Jinan every time he went to the south of the Yangtze River, and Daming Lake was among them. It can be seen that the emperor also had a special preference for the pornography of the lake and the mountain, and the legend of Emperor Qianlong's lingering melancholy with the summer rain lotus was well known.
