In the Muli Gate area at the source of the Xiaoqing River, there is an endless wetland scenery outside the gate, with green shade and lush greenery, rippling reeds and egrets flying shallowly on the water surface, and schools of fish and shrimp in the water, and swaying aquatic plants. There are two streams in the dam south wetland that flow into the sluice, the east from the Yufu River and the west from the Yellow River. This water is first half green and half yellow, embracing each other, and then all turning green, flowing leisurely, forming a unique hydrological landscape at the source of the Xiaoqing River. The stream gurgles from the gate through the dam into the Mulizhuang section, and then runs from west to east, in the north of Jinan City, the south of the Yellow River all the way to the east, the clear water flows for a long time, thousands of miles away, widely accepts the water from the hundred springs and rivers, quietly but firmly depicts a moving picture of "the small river lingers nine songs, Motegi Yu Qianzhang".

The pink and white purple-leaved plum is small and elegant, and under the background of the sun, it looks particularly bright, and from time to time there is a faint floral fragrance to the nose. On the outside of the purple-leaved plum, there is also a row of willow trees, which are planted alternately, and the tender green willow branches hang down and sway in the wind, green willows, white flowers, and purple leaves. Viewed from the air, the purple-leaved plum and willow trees on both sides of the dam stand side by side like a ribbon embedded in the south bank of the Yellow River embankment.
