Situated in the center of Jinan, Danming Lake Park is an 860,000 square-meter park and home to Danming Lake and its famous hectare fountain.

This "Lake of Great Light," is a natural body of water comprised of many of the city's natural springs, and contains six small islands, laden with flowers and beautiful shrubbery, a perfect spot for families to enjoy a relaxing day together, rowing boats and strolling the sprawling greens.

Near the lake's northwest bank is the Tie Xuan Temple. Built in 1792, this temple was constructed as a memorial to Tie Xuan, a Ming Dynasty official known for his heroism and loyalty. Located within the Tie Xuan Temple is the Beiji Temple, the largest Taoist shrine in Jinan.
