Hangzhou Qingshan Lake Park | A beautiful green spot in winter

Qingshan Lake Park is located in the Qingshan Lake Scenic Area in Lin'an, Hangzhou. It covers an area of over 60 square kilometers and is very beautiful. In particular, the green duckweed on the lake reaches its peak in autumn, and the matcha forest is even more advanced and unique. It would be a shame not to experience it in person. The ecology is also great, with more than 240 species of wild animals and a rich variety of plants. You can take a boat ride on the water or walk along the wooden walkway, which is a great way to relax. Children can play with stones and grass, and occasionally encounter black swans and sika deer, which is a lot of fun! 📍Address: Qingshan Lake Water Forest 🔴Transportation: 1⃣Take Metro Line 16 to Qingshan Lake Station, exit D, and walk about 15 minutes to the entrance of the scenic area. 2⃣Self-driving: Navigate to Qingshan Lake Scenic Area Water Forest Parking Lot, which is very large and close to Exit D of Qingshan Lake Station. 🔴Opening hours: 8:00 am–4:30 pm 🔴Free tour route: Free public area, walk/cycle around the lake, shared bikes are available, or you can bring your own bike. 🔴Paid tour route: (Water Forest + Water Tour) 1⃣Water Forest, buy tickets on site, ticket price is CNY 40/person.
