Springing into action

Fountains are set in the old city area where tourists can get supplies.

Freddy Fredes, from Chile, who studied in Shandong Normal University, is impressed.

"Walking around the parks and springs, you can see the trees, the springs and the plants. You feel so relaxed and you feel so good with yourself," he says.

"Many people think that the protection of the environment and the development of the city are opposite things, but in Jinan, I realized that these two things can be carried out together at the same time."
