in January 10, 2013, a strange thing happened on the south west side car street in Ji'nan Tianqiao, Shandong. A big tree could "spit water". Many passers-by caught the rare spectacle with their mobile phones. A citizen said, "it is the first time to see the phenomenon of big trees sprinkling in such a large scale. Is there more spring in Ji'nan than in the Baotu Spring?" At the scene, the Ji'nan water department used instruments to test the situation under the big tree, and staged a wonderful scene for "consultation" of the big tree. At last, the water department found that "spit water" was caused by the high pressure of underground water after the broken water pipe near the big tree, and it was due to spew out of the "body" of the big tree.
