 The
Pearl Spring is now located in the Pearl Hotel in the city of JiNan,
the capital of ShanDong Province. It
is just a few miles from the so-called "the No. 1 Spring" -- the
BaoTu Spring in the same city. The Pearl Spring gushes from
underground like a string of pearl. The water pool is about the size
of a basketball playground and people can see through the water to
the bottom of the pool. There several other smaller springs around,
all the springs gather into the DaMing Lake nearby.
 The
Pearl Spring water is clean, sweet and cold, superb for tea making.
In the Qing Dynast when the Emperor QianLong evaluated the famous
springs all over the country, this spring was appraised as the third
best spring. Therefore it is also called the "No. 3 Spring" in the
country. When the emperor traveled to ShanDong, the local officers
always prepared Pearl Spring water for his drinking.
