Qilu reporter intern reporter Liu Yuan
with the summer season, Ji'nan's spring attracted a large number of summer heat and cool people. Touching spring water and feeling cool in summer is not only a habit of Jinan people, but also attracts many foreign tourists. However, some inappropriate behaviors have brought heavy burden to Ji'nan's springs.

the reporter first arrived at the gargle of the Baotu Spring park on the edge of Yuquan and found a large amount of coins deposited at the bottom of the spring. Through interviews with the surrounding residents, the tradition of throwing coins to pray for peace in spring for decades has made many tourists like to toss coins in the spring to pray for happiness. Although the staff of the scenic spot cleared the bottom of the spring a long time ago, the coins at the bottom of the spring are still covered with a thick layer due to the small peak of the two days of tourism. During the interview, nearly ten tourists threw coins into Yuquan gargle. Through the clear spring water, a large number of coins deposited on the bottom of the spring appear to be incompatible with the surrounding scenery.
when tourists are asked why they toss coins in the spring, they all have their own words. Some tourists think this can have a good moral meaning, and more people think that since everyone throws coins into the fountain, he throws coins. When asked whether this behavior would cause spring pollution, most tourists expressed different degrees of concern.

the new Ji'nan city famous spring Protection Ordinance, which was formally implemented in July 1st, included the punishment of swimming, washing clothes and brushing the spring water in the spring water, and did not clearly point out that the coins could not be thrown into the spring. . Although there is no explicit prohibition, such a move appears to be particularly "cool" at the edge of the spring.
Baotu Spring park staff said they had just cleaned up the coins at the bottom of the pool in the park a week ago, but the effect was not ideal, and many tourists still threw coins into the pool. They urged tourists not to regard the spring pool as a "wishing pool", but also to keep the spring clean and natural.
editor:
spring is the symbol and business card of our Ji'nan. The behavior of investing money in the spring water not only pollutes the spring water, but also blacken the scenery and order of our spring city. It is everyone's wish to let the spring water clearer, make the scenery more beautiful and make the society more harmonious. Do not let this inappropriate little act affect the beauty and harmony of Ji'nan.
