Daming Lake, a landmark in Jinan's Lixia district, is witnessing a steady improvement in its ecological environment.

Through sustained efforts in water quality, ecological greening, and biodiversity, the lake's environment has become significantly clearer, greener, and more vibrant. An increasing number of migratory birds are choosing to become residents here.
