#Qushuiting Street Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Featured Neighborhoods
Address:
Lixia District, Jinan City
Recommended sightseeing time:
1-2 hour
Qu Shuiting Street is adjacent to Daming Lake and is a well-known ancient street in Jinan city. The street is not wide and the road is narrow, so it is important to avoid the crowds during holidays. It is suitable to stroll along the stream when there are fewer people.
The block is not heavily commercialized, and there are already many homestays and cafes. It has a very artistic and fresh style, creating a comfortable and slow-paced lifestyle. Therefore, it is not suitable for those who only come for taking photos.
Suggest visiting together with Daming Lake.

Qushuiting street. Once again we are in Jinan City, Shandong Province. This street is build along channel and was converted into commercial area counted on tourists arriving in the Jinan by incredibly big number. Yes, it looks beautiful, especially some solutions like painted walls and big tea pots or something like this. It represents so called ancient styled walking streets of China. This one is pretty attractive. I liked my coming there.

Jinan | Spring is in the air, it's time to step outside and encounter the spring
| Spring is in the air, it's time to step outside and encounter the spring.
Jinan's spring, with its willows drooping, springs babbling, flowers blooming everywhere, is full of the spirit of spring🤩, and a strong romantic vibe hits you right in the face😍.
This place is also a paradise for photographers📷, whether it's the elegance of the drooping willows, the clarity of the springs, or the splendor of the sea of flowers, one can capture intoxicatingly beautiful scenes🌸.
Take a stroll along Qu Shui Street Pavilion👣, where magnolia flowers and willows sway in the breeze💐.
Whether it's the natural scenery where mountains and waters meet🌳, or the historical culture inherited from the ancient districts🏯, Jinan exudes an enchanting charm.
A ten-mile spring breeze, banks lined with willows and blooming flowers🌼.
"Lotuses on four sides, willows on three, a city of mountain hues and half a lake"💦, this is the northern 'Little Jiangnan' with its black-tiled roofs and babbling springs—Jinan🤗.
🚩For travel routes, check the notes from the last issue😉.

Experience the charm of small bridges and flowing water in Jinan
Qu Shui Ting Street is located south of Daming Lake, with the small street running from south to north, connecting Daming Lake, Baihua Islet, Wangfu Pool... all the way to Quancheng Road in the south.
Compared to other scenic spots in Jinan, Qu Shui Ting Street may not be famous, but here one can witness the scene of 'springs in every household, willows in every yard': small bridges, flowing water, and family homes, creating a sense of daily life with springs flowing right in front of the doors, half poetic, half mundane.
When tired from walking, you can boil tea by the water, chat, or even daydream. Compared to Furong Street and Kuanghou Li, strolling down Qu Shui Ting Street is less bustling and noisy, offering a serene atmosphere of small bridges, flowing water, and the tranquility of grey-tiled and white-walled alleys.
There are also attractions like the Confucian Temple and Qifeng Bridge nearby... Just wandering into any alley can lead to a different scenery.
There is a popular 'Suan Zhan Er' shop on the street, with a long queue. 'Suan Zhan Er' is essentially candied hawthorn, but with hawthorn sliced open, filled with red bean paste, and decorated with sesame seeds and melon seeds to form a flower shape, and the sugar coating is white and transparent. The queue was too long, so I didn't buy any, leaving a bit of regret.

Jinan Strolling with Kids | The spring in the old city area of Quancheng is indeed super beautiful
Spring day strolling with kids, hitting the streets lightly equipped
Black Tiger Spring—Quancheng Square—Qu Shui Ting Street
The spring in Jinan's old city area is really getting more and more beautiful
This trip I only brought the gopro12, which couldn't be more correct
Entirely shot with gopro, a handy little device
Didn't bring the spherical lens, but unexpectedly captured the first image
The chubby orange-red fish and the green willows under the azure sky in the same frame
When this moment is frozen, I'm absolutely in love with this instant of Quancheng scenery
The white pigeons on the square waiting to be fed
And the young ladies in twos and threes on Qu Shui Ting Street dressed in ancient costumes for a photo shoot
Indeed, the pace of the old city is not fast at all
March is the time to slow down and enjoy this bright and splendid spring

There is also pure water wet toilet paper that is really soft to use, can easily wipe off all kinds of dirt, it is also a must-have for staying in hotels all year round.

☘️Qu Shui Ting Street retains a lot of traditional folk culture. There are handicraft shops, teahouses, cafes, Jinan home cooking, and the internet-famous 'sour dip' 🍡.

The spring water from the Pearl Springs and the Wangfu Pond merges into the river, and is adjacent to Qushuiting Street. On one side is the old brick-and-brick house, and on the other side is the clear spring of the green algae. The Linquan people are here to wash rice. The current Qushuiting Street still retains the Quancheng style of Family Springs and Households. Qushuiting Street, called up, sounds pleasing to the ear, very cultural charm.
