Daming Lake is the largest lake in Jinan, capital of Shandong province. It is one of the city's most popular sights.

Located to the north of the downtown area of the historical city, the lake is fed by the artesian karst springs of the area and hence retains a fairly constant water level throughout the entire year.

As the city enters the hottest and dampest period of the year, local people and tourists choose to escape the summer heat at the Daming Lake Park after twilight while enjoying the picturesque scenery.
