Located in the Lixia District of the urban center of Jinan, Qushuiting Street or literally "winding water pavilion street" is a significant historic alley in the city. With 520 meters in length and on average 2.86 meters in width, the street passes by the Fuxue Confucian Temple in the west and the Palace of Prince De in the east. The alley follows the course of the Winding Water Creek which connects the water from the Pearl Spring and the Palace Pool. Strolling along the quiet alley, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy some quiet time alone with nature.
