Daming Lake (Chinese: 大明湖; pinyin: Dàmíng Hú; Wade–Giles: Ta⁴-ming² Hu²; lit. 'Lake of the Great Splendour') is the largest lake in the city of Jinan, Shandong, China and one of city's main natural and cultural landmarks. Located to the north of the historical city center, the lake is fed by the artesian karst springs of the area and hence retains a fairly constant water level through the entire year.
