📍Qiandao Lake, Hangzhou **🚄 Transportation** - **High-speed rail**: Hangzhou East Station → Qiandao Lake Station (~1 hour), take hotel shuttle or taxi (~30 mins to scenic area). - **Self-drive**: ~2 hours from Hangzhou, ideal for lakeside touring. **🏞️ Must-Visit Attractions** 1. **Central Lake Zone** (classic route): Meifeng Island (panoramic views), Yule Island (water activities), Moonlight Island (love theme). 2. **Southeast Lake Zone** (natural scenery): Huangshanjian ("World for All" viewpoint), Tianchi Island, Osmanthus Island. 3. **Cycling/Hiking**: Chunyang Line (most scenic bike path), Tianyu Mountain Viewpoint (perfect sunset spot). 4. **Other recs**: Beer Town, Fuwen Township Viral School (filming location for *My People, My Homeland*). **🍽️ Food Recs** - **Fish head soup** (must-try! Organic Qiandao Lake fish), wild jiaojiao, river shrimp, rice cakes. - **Restaurants**: Jihe Lakeside (creative dishes), Yuwelguan (time-honored). **🏨 Stay Options** - **Luxury**: Intercontinental, Ahn Luh (private lake views). - **Budget-friendly**: Greentown Resort, lakeside B&Bs. **📌 Tips** - **Tickets**: Scenic entry + boat ~¥200/person, book online for discounts. - **Best season**: Spring/autumn (Apr-May, Sep-Nov), summer is cooler but sunny. - **Itinerary**: 2D1N recommended—relaxing lake tour + cycling.

Qiandao Lake Beer Town

Located in Chun'an, Zhejiang, Qiandao Lake Beer Town combines industrial style and resort atmosphere. Not only is the town free to enter, but it is also open 24 hours a day and the transportation is convenient. The biggest highlight is that you can enjoy a variety of local beers while enjoying the lake view of Thousand Island Lake, the entire park is delicately designed, European-style streets and brightly colored architectural gaps are genuine and good, and there are plenty of specialty restaurants and snacks. Recommended tour routes: It is recommended to enter from the main entrance and walk slowly along Muzhou Avenue. First, you can visit the beer workshop to visit the on-site brewing process. If you are interested, you can arrange a guided tour experience. Many people praise the fresh beer as smooth and fragrant. Afterwards, you can go to the lake for a stroll. There are many photo spots along the lake, including colorful European architectural walls and beer barrel-shaped sculptures. Restaurant Recommendation Choose the town’s own beer themed restaurant, whether it’s fried fish and chips, smoked meat platter or authentic snacks are quite a surprise, personally recommend fried food with cold beer, really cool! Must-play items: 1. Fresh freshly brewed beer samples with different flavors to choose from for adult beer fans 2. Visit the brewing workshop to learn about the making process of local beer in Thousand Island Lake 3. Take a walk by the lake and take pictures while enjoying the lake view 4.
