In the morning, your guide will pick you up at your hotel, airport or train station in Jinan. On this day, start your first day out by visiting Daming Lake, relaxing yourself with the picturesque scenery. As the biggest lake in Jinan, it offers you the beautiful views of pavilions, buildings in willows and shades and lotus full of ponds.
After that, head over to Quancheng Road, which is Jinan’s most famous walkway. From there, head west towards Baotu Spring Park. The main attraction of the park is, of course, the famous Baotu Spring, called the No.1 Spring under heaven. There are many clear and crystal spring pools and magnificent pavilions in the park, which make it a fairyland in the city center.
In the late afternoon, head out the east gate of Baotu Spring towards Spring City Square. Oftentimes, during the evening the square’s musical fountain will perform. It is the awesome place to experience the local life at its most vibrant.

After breakfast, your guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel. Your first stop today is Thousand Buddha Mountain (Qianfoshan), a mountain adorned with temples, caves, pavilions, terraces, towers and Buddhas. It stands only 300 m high, should only take you about one hour to walk up and from the summit, you’ll gave a great view of the City of Springs. You won’t miss Thousand-Buddha Cliff, Xingguochan Temple etc.
After descending Qianfoshan, head to the second most significant spring - Black Tiger Spring for the last bit of Jinan sightseeing. The spring water rises from a cave and cascades from three stone animal heads, dropping from a height of 28 meters into a stone pool that is 13 meters long and nine meters wide. Winds emit a terrifying roar as they blow through the cave where the water flows out; therefore, the spring got its name of Heihu (Black Tiger).
After the tour, be escort to airport or train station to catch the flight/train to your next destination. Service ends!

Thanks Wing, we came back safely and had a great trip overall. We had great tour guide and driver whom we will recommend without doubt and we took the liberty to change the schedule as we toured, depending on the weather and situation, which suited us. I’m actually glad lightning struck, allowing us to spend the last night in XM, as I think 2 days and 1 night in the Tulou is more than sufficient. I’ll leave Chew to comment on your email but you can also take my comments here if you want. Thanks again !
Hi Wing,
Yesterday just before check out at Xiamen , i had already completed a detailed questionnaire form and handed over to Adam.
(1) How do you like our tour arrangements and are you willing to recommend our service to your friends?
Yes, it was good service from tour coordinator, tour guide and driver. They are all very professional and good people. I will recommend to friends for sure.
(2) Do you have some suggestions for us to improve our service?
The initially proposed 3D2N itinerary is an overkill of Tulou visits. The original plan was such that we visit Chu Xi on Day 3, but Chu Xi is the furthest (3 hours) from Xiamen, so it doesnt make too much sense cos it would be a mad rush if guests are rushing to fly off on Day 3. Our tour guide Adam adapted the itinerary, we cut down the more commercialized tulous and he even included He Keng Tulou which is the place that Hollywood Mulan was filmed in, that was a real treat.
From our experiences, if we fly into Xiamen by 9am, we would have 2 full days of Tulou visits, which is more than sufficient. First nite at HeRongZhuang was a good experience, the staff are very hospitable and room was very nice. Second nite at Prince Hotel there was power failure, and after being in the dark for 4 hours, we decided to check out and drove to Xiamen. We were on the road from 9.30pm to 12 midnight. I think it would be better if the itinerary just have first nite in Tulou and second nite in Xiamen, with Day 3 in Xiamen.
(3) If you want to do travel again in China, would you like to use our service again?
Yes. I would certainly consider
Regards
Dear Wing,
The hotel is beautiful. We took a walk around and end up having dinner in the hotel. It's very nice.
We got back to the hotel a while ago. We enjoyed the trip with Sara very much. She is a lovely woman like you. And once again thank you very much for the lovely souvenirs.
Dear Johnson,
Sorry for my late reply.
We were really very happy with the whole trip to Yunnan province. It was very special and we still talk about it a lot.
The program you suggested was great, and we had a fantastic time. Everything was flawless, convenient and no long waiting times.
We specifically liked:
Alice was fantastic. We enjoyed that she told us about her village, family etc. to help us to understand the Bai culture better. We liked her personal style. It felt like walking around with a friend, joking and having a good time.
Tom also made the Lijiang experience a very memorable one. He also opened up, reflected and gave us great insight in traditions and culture of Naxi. He knows everyone.
The best about Aten was that he made some suggestions how to optimize the program and how to avoid tourist crowds. He loves to talk to the guests, exchange ideas and make this a mutual learning experience.
We would without any doubt recommend your agency. We consider to book trips with you in the future.
Thank you very much for everything.
Best regards,
Christine
