Day 6 morning - Ji'nan springs and Yellow River

Ji'nan is known for its springs. We visited an area where people come to collect water. It was very relaxed, lots of folks just hanging around. Decided it was a good opportunity for a cohousing group photo (last photo).

Next we stopped at a park to see the Yellow River. As always there was someone selling paintings and other trinkets - the photo on the right shows the bronze statue that caught my eye. He's part lion, horse, bird, snake and is decorated with red stones. I was told he is one of the 9 dragon sons, maybe called "Shaleen" but I can't find any info about him. If you do, please let me know. (Note that in China dragons are good, whereas in Western literature they tend to be bad.)
