This beautiful square is the center
of downtown activity in Jinan. These
pictures were taken in September as the city was preparing for the national
holiday. The spectacular “singing”
fountain is smaller than the Vegas Bellagio but is stellar in its own right.
This is a favorite place to visit
whenever we are “downtown”. The square
is fairly close to the medical campus so we pass it every day on our way to
school.
“Eye of Jinan” is one of my favorite
sculptures. This art piece is beautiful
from every angle. It presents a strong
landmark and unique feature of Jinan.
Ah, view another festive picture of
this section of the square. There are
underground shops nearby. This is always
a fun place with large wooden tops spinning, huge bubbles dancing in the
air. Kite flying is also a popular
activity here. We always find a number
of diverse events happen here every day.
It is a fun place to visit and enjoy Jinan.
At the edge of the square is the old
city “mote”. I spotted this fisherman
one sunny autumn afternoon.
A hopeful street musician performs
outside the square.
Balloons add to the festive downtown
feeling.
