From the old photos of the first Chrysanthemum Exhibition preserved by the Jinan Newspaper Image Archive, it can be seen that the Chrysanthemum Exhibition of that year, the chrysanthemums hanging on the banks of Baotu Spring, are integrated with the reflection in the spring. The blooming chrysanthemums are built into the shape of "two dragon play beads", which is traditional and festive. The shape of the "Heavenly Lady Scattered Flowers" is even more appropriate, the fairy comes from the clouds, and the basket of flowers is surrounded by clusters of flowers.

From the beginning, the chrysanthemum exhibition was combined with spring water, combined with history and culture, entertainment, and popular science, so it was very successful, and it could be described as an empty alley. The first Juju exhibition was in good shape, laying the foundation for the subsequent Juju exhibition. Nowadays, the Baotu Spring Golden Autumn Chrysanthemum Exhibition has been held for the 42nd, which has not only become one of the important activities of the scenic spot after entering the autumn, but also become the most anticipated "festival" for the general public and tourists in autumn.
