The Five Dragon Pool () is a culturally significant pond fed by artesian karst springs in the city of Jinan, Shandong Province, China. It is one of the best known springs among the 72 famous springs of Jinan. The spring that supplies the water for the Five Dragon Pool belongs to a group of springs that also contains 28 other springs, such as the Tianjing Spring, Seventy-three Spring, Ximizhi Spring, Dongmizhi Spring, Yueya Spring, Jing Spring, and the Congming Spring.〔(online article by the Jinan Tourism Administration )〕 The water of the Five Dragon Spring originates from the deepest circulation of all the springs in Jinan City.〔(Fang, P., Cao, Y., Tang, K., Li, X., Wang, S.
