Guanlan Pavilion is situated within the Baotu Spring scenic area, constructed during the Ming Dynasty’s Tianshun period. It was built by two imperial eunuchs, Wei and Wu, who came to Jinan and constructed a pavilion beside the spring, naming it ‘Guanlan’. The name is derived from the phrase ‘If one observes water, one must observe its waves’ from ‘Mencius – Jingxin Chapter’. The Guanlan Pavilion is a four-sided long pavilion with a semi-enclosed design, exquisite in its structure and highly praised by scholars throughout the ages. It is open to the public all year round, accessible 24 hours a day.
