Qiandao Lake Qiandao Lake fun secrets, you’ll understand after reading this! My dear friends, Qiandao Lake is a hidden treasure resort in Zhejiang.

🛳️ Thousand Island Lake The secrets to having fun in Qiandao Lake, you’ll understand after reading this! My dear family, Qiandao Lake is a treasure holiday resort hidden in Zhejiang. The lake water is so blue that it seems to be cast by magic, and there are too many islands to count. Don’t hesitate, pack your bags, follow this guide and let’s enjoy all the fun of Qiandao Lake! 1. Transportation Guide 1. High-speed rail: Take it directly to Qiandao Lake Station. After getting off the train, there are hotel shuttle buses, public buses or taxis to the scenic area. The hotel shuttle bus needs to be booked in advance with the hotel. Public transportation is economical, but the number of buses and routes are limited. Taxi is convenient and fast, but it may be a bit "painful" to the wallet. It costs about 50-80 yuan to go to the central lake area. 2. Self-driving: Starting from Hangzhou, drive along the Hangzhou-Qiandao Expressway. You can embrace the beauty of Qiandao Lake in about 2 hours. The scenery along the way is super healing, like driving in a painting. It is not difficult to start from Shanghai. You can take the Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway and then transfer to the Hangzhou-Qianjiang Expressway. It takes about 4 hours to arrive. It is also very convenient to replenish and rest at the service areas along the way. 3. Bus: There are buses that go directly to Qiandao Lake from Hangzhou West Bus Station. There are many buses from morning to night. The journey takes about 2-3 hours and the ticket price is 60-70 yuan. The only problem is that the buttocks will suffer if you sit for a long time. 2. Check-in at scenic spots 1. Qiandao Lake Scenic Area: ◦ Central Lake Area: A must-visit when visiting Qiandao Lake! The ticket plus the boat ticket is about 185 yuan and is valid for two days. When you climb up Meifeng Island, you can see more than 300 islands, which is like entering a green wonderland; there is the Hai Rui Temple on Longshan Island, where you can feel the charm of history; on Yule Island, you can play in the water to your heart's content, such as jet skis and banana boats, and you can't stop playing! ◦ Southeast Lake Area: Few people and beautiful scenery, Huangshan Peak is a must-see. Standing on the observation deck, you can see more than 90 islands forming a "world for all". Nature is the best artist. The wild osmanthus fragrance fills the air on Osmanthus Island, and there are cute monkeys to greet you. Remember not to make them angry, or you may be "taught a lesson". 2. Tianyu Mountain Observation Deck: A free check-in spot. It is super beautiful at sunset. The whole Qiandao Lake is shining with golden light in the afterglow. It is a great place to take silhouette photos. Any photo you take will dominate the circle of friends. 3. Beer Town: European-style buildings are everywhere, and there are also beer experience halls and karting venues. When you are tired of playing, have a glass of fresh beer, drive a few laps of go-kart, and happiness will come. 3. Food Exploration 1. Qiandao Lake Fish Head: If you don’t eat fish head when you visit Qiandao Lake, your trip is a waste! The fish meat is fresh and tender, and the fish soup is thick, white and fragrant. You can eat many kinds of fish from one fish, such as the chopped pepper fish head and fish head soup. Every bite is so delicious that it makes your eyes drop. I recommend "Chunyuanwai·The Taste of Ancient Village" and "Kaizhen Fisherman's House (Qiandao Lake Fish Street Store)", which are very popular and taste authentic. 2. Mountain bamboo shoots: A local specialty, they are super delicious when simply stir-fried. They are fresh, crispy, and crunchy. You can find them in almost all restaurants in Qiandao Lake. 3. Qiandao Lake Corn Cake: The crust is crispy and the filling is soft and sticky. The sweetness of the corn and the filling are perfectly blended. One bite will give you a full sense of happiness. You can buy it at a roadside shop and it is very comfortable to eat while walking. 4. Accommodation Recommendations 1. InterContinental Qiandao Lake Resort: Family-friendly, with a huge children's playground and various parent-child activities. The room has a good view and the sunset is beautiful, but the price is a bit expensive, ranging from 800 to 2000 yuan per night. 2. Qiandao Lake Jinglan Fanli Resort Hotel: It is surrounded by mountains and water, with a quiet environment. The swimming pool is great for taking photos, and you can create blockbuster movies in minutes. The price is moderate, 500-1500 yuan per night, which is a good value for money. 3. Qiandao Lake Lijing Resort Hotel: The lake view rooms are amazing, and you can stay for three days and two nights for only 299 yuan. The 180-degree panoramic balcony allows you to take in the beautiful scenery of Qiandao Lake. It also includes self-service laundry, free parking, one hour of happy chess and cards, etc. It has a long validity period and is pet-friendly, so students and budget travelers can go for it without hesitation! 5. Tips for Playing 1. Booking tickets and hotels online in advance can save a lot of money and time, and avoid the embarrassment of not having rooms or tickets during peak seasons. 2. There are many mosquitoes in Qiandao Lake, so remember to bring mosquito repellent with you, otherwise you may be "besieged" by mosquitoes when you sleep at night. 3. Pay attention to safety when taking a boat trip, wear a life jacket, hold your phone and camera firmly, and don't accidentally fall into the lake to feed the fish.
