Reknown for being one of the more quirky and experimental galleries around town, the Culture Club Gallery is a place where young creativitiy runs free.

Exhibits at the Eastern Modern Art Gallery rotate monthly. Eastern Modern Art Gallery was holding China's 11th International Photographic Art Exhibition. Artists hail from nearly 30 countries ranging from Ukraine to Argentina and throughout China. Genres range from post-production blues to raw and naked. This exhibit offers such rich visual stimulus that I recommend you give it a couple of visits.
The Gallery is located near the train station at the corner of Jing San and Wei Er Road. Turn north on Wei San Road, and after approximately about 20 meters look to your left.

Five Dragon Pool is one of several locations that contribute to Jinan's fame for its natural springs. Often overlooked by visitors because it is sandwiched between Da Ming Lake to the north and Baotu Spring Park to the south, Five Dragon Pool is a very popular spot where locals often come to relax. Citizens of Jinan come here to enjoy the scenery, practice tai-chi, or to fill bottles with natural water from the springs for later consumption.
Five Dragon Pool is located at the west end of Quancheng Lu (泉城路) and across the street from Baotu Spring Park (趵突泉公园). More specifically it is on the northwest corner of Puli Road (普利街) and Baotuquan Bei Lu (趵突泉北路).
Nanchan Temple Markets
The Nanchan Temple Markets are a lovely place to visit to both enjoy the cultural atmosphere as well as to do some shopping for souvenirs or fresh produce. There are often community events, such as fireworks, held here to celebrate holidays throughout the Chinese calendar.

The market area is quite visible, especially at night. The area is easy to find at the south end of the main road, Zhongshan Lu (中山路）, across the ring road of Jiefang Nan Lu (解放南路).
Baotong Temple
Baotong Temple (Bao Tong Si, 宝通寺) is situated almost entirely on the hillside. The temple is quite an impressive architectural accomplishment. It is fairly difficult to see the temple from afar, because it is partly hidden by thick vegetation.
Baotong Temple (Bao Tong Si, 宝通寺) is situated almost entirely on the hillside. The temple is quite an impressive architectural accomplishment. It is fairly difficult to see the temple from afar, because it is partly hidden by thick vegetation.
Baotong Temple is representative of a typical classic Chinese Buddhist temple. It consists of a Grand Hall, Meditation Hall, and an Abbots Hall. There are also two gargantuan iron bells located in the Grand Hall. The biggest bell is estimated to weigh 5000 kg.
Take bus No.66 from Hankou Railway Station and get off at Hong Shan Park bus stop. Any of these buses will also take you to the temple: No. 18, 25, 518, 519, 577, or 710.
