Daming Lake, one of the most iconic landmarks of Jinan, capital city of East China's Shandong province, offers stunning night landscapes once illuminated.

Jinan has long been known as "Spring City" because it has over 700 natural springs. Springs have been the root, soul as well as card name for Jinan. The Daming Lake is fed by the city's artesian karst springs.
