With its open, spring fed water course and willow trees, Qushuiting Street is a symbol of the historical city scape of Jinan that has been described by the late-Qing author Liu E in his novel "The Travels of Lao Can", written 1903-04, published in 1907). In a description that matches Qushuiting Street, Liu E writes that "Every family has spring water, every household has a willow tree" ).
