Covering a total area of 3.1 square kilometers, it's a 5A national scenic area, important national park, an advanced unit of China's construction of spiritual civilization, and a provincial scenic spot. It was included into the second group of China's National Natural and Cultural Heritage Reserve List by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development on September 10, 2009 and became the first spring-themed project applying for world heritage in China due to the advantage of having a large quantity, good water quality, beautiful shape, particular geologic structure, profound historical culture, common ornamental value, uniqueness, rareness and endangeredness.

The scenic area has a long history. Baotu Spring is known as "Luo" in the ancient time. It's recorded in the "Spring and Autumn Annals” that in the eighteenth year of Duke Huan of Lu (B.C. 694), the Duke met Marquis of Yi in Luo. In the Song Dynasty, Zeng Gong named it "Baotu Spring" in view of its feature of jumping and rushing out; the city moat was first built in the Han Dynasty, formed in the Yuan Dynasty, and completed in the Ming Dynasty. As recorded in "Licheng County Annals", in the fourth year of Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty, the city moat went around the city, with a width of around 16.67m and a depth of 1m". So it's a city river that connects springs and lakes and goes along with the history and civilization. Daming Lake, called Lishui Pool, Lianzi Lake and West Lake in the ancient time. It's recorded in the "Commentary on the Waterways Classic" that, the northern stream of Luo River is Daming Lake and Yuan Haowen, a poet in Jin Dynasty always called it Daming Lake in its "Travels in Jinan". The scenic area, built around the Baotu Spring, is known as the best spring in the world. The spring flows into a river, and then converges into a lake, and depends on each other with the famous ancient city. With the combination of spring, river, lake and city, it collectively shows the unique spring landscape. In the city of springs, there are 71 famous spring gathering together in the most famous spring groups of Baotu Spring, Black Tiger Spring, and Five-Dragon Pond, making it enjoying the world records in terms of quantity, beautiful shape, water quality, historical culture and value of scientific research; Daming Lake is a natural lake formed by the convergence of a large number of springs; the spring water flows in from the south bank of the lake and when the lake is filled, the water will flow out from the north water gate built in the Song Dynasty; the lakebed is formed by waterproof igneous rocks and the lake will not flood in frequent rainfalls nor dry in long drought, so it's known as "the springs converge and cover Luo of Jinan" and honored as "pearl of the city of springs". The poem "Lotus covers four sides and willows line up the three sides of the lake; the mountain city is half covered by a lake " is the best description of it. The city moat, formed by the convergence of springs, is just like a jade belt going around the ancient city and also like a pearl necklace that connects all the scenic spots.
