We had the opportunity to take a boat (lower left) ride down a canal from Black Tiger Springs across Da Ming Lake and back on a circuitous route to the point of our beginning one night last week. Jinan is known as the City of Springs and there are some 72 of them around the city. We hadn't been able to visit any of them yet, what with our busy teaching schedule. Nights are cooling off now so we are glad we got on this canal trip before it gets too cold. At one point down the canal we entered a lock where the water was blocked off and our boat lowered to the next part of the canal before we crossed Da Ming Lake and then enjoyed the reverse process (lower center) as we returned to our original location.
