West Lake has Su Causeway and Bai Causeway, and Nanbei Lake has Zhonghu Yong... But there is no hustle and bustle here, only picturesque scenery, only the leisure and tranquility of nature, and the beautiful scenery in your eyes and yourself in the beautiful scenery.

If you drive 🚗 Navigate to [Nanbeihu Transfer Center] and park your car in the nearby parking lot ⚠️The Nanbei Lake Scenic Area does not charge admission now, but parking fees are charged for cars entering the scenic area. It is free within 1 hour, and 20 for 1-9 hours. 1️⃣The starting point is right next to the parking lot. Go up the stone steps and you will see a bamboo forest path. The bamboos are still relatively cool and you won’t get any sun. 2️⃣After the bamboo forest, there will be a mountain road, but it is also relatively easy to walk 3️⃣Then we arrived at a tea garden, where we could already see the scenery below the mountain. It was also a great place to take photos. 4️⃣ Go down the tea garden and cross a scenic road to the right hand side is [Yixiancheng], there are some restaurants and resort hotels here, you can choose to eat here at noon, but the price is not cheap, the restaurant we ate was very slow in serving food, and in the end I really didn't want to wait and returned a dish that was not served for a long time, bad review ❌ 5️⃣ When we came down from the tea garden, it was still early and we didn’t eat immediately. Instead, we continued to walk in and there was a fork in the road. There was a loop inside where we could see the North Lake at the foot of the mountain. We went in from the fork on the left, and after a circle, we came out from the right fork and returned to Yixian City. 6️⃣After dinner, continue down the mountain along the east side of Yixian City. You will pass a small path with a stream. Going down further, you will see a big stone engraved with [Xijian]. Below is [Xijian Thatched Cottage] 7️⃣ When you reach this place, you have reached the North Lake. There is a car rental point here with bicycles and electric cars. Of course, you can also choose to continue walking. If you want to rent a car, you can use the [Hello] app. During holidays, electric cars are 💰70/half hour, and bicycles seem to be 💰60/half hour (I can't remember exactly, but it's a little cheaper than electric ones). We rented an electric car and drove around the lake, enjoying the beautiful scenery while enjoying the breeze. It was quite pleasant. 8️⃣We drove along the lake. We could see the nearby car return points on the car rental app. We drove to the car return point near Butterfly Island and walked around but didn't go in. This attraction is charged, 💰10/person 9️⃣Finally, we walked back. On the way, we passed some small stalls where we could buy cold drinks. We walked all the way to where we parked, which was the transfer center, and then we went home. ❤️This route is not tiring at all (mainly because there are some small electric donkeys in the middle), and there are actually very few mountain climbing parts [Facepalm]. It doesn’t feel too intense to take a second-grade elementary school student with me, so it is more suitable for younger children

Nanbei Lake, like West Lake, is a lagoon at the mouth of the Qiantang River. Nanbei Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. The lake is winding, with Baodi Dam traversing from east to west, dividing the lake into southern and northern halves, hence the name 'Nanbei Lake'. It is the only panoramic resort in our country that combines mountains, lake, and sea, like a dazzling pearl set at the foot of Yingniao Mountain. A dike lies across, dividing the lake into south and north, not deep but winding. At the southern end of the island lake is the sea, where the world-famous Qiantang Tide is formed. Here one can enjoy the source of the Qiantang Tide, the mirage of Shifan, and other wonders, as well as fun by the seaside. Professor Chen Congzhou, a famous garden expert, praised Nanbei Lake: 'The mountains have layers, the water has twists, the sea has wonders. It is more slender than Slender West Lake, more exquisite than West Lake, and combines the strengths of both.' Many poems and songs are hard to capture its charm; one can only slowly walk into it, to feel its mystery and etherealness, to fully experience its leisurely slow life. Strolling along the lake, watching the shimmering waves, the snow-like reeds by the water, the pavilions, towers, and continuous mountains reflected in the clear lake like a natural ink painting. The mountains around the lake are continuous, with pine, bamboo, tea, orange...

The scenic area is quite large, and the visitors are relatively dispersed, the key point is that the weather is particularly nice, with the lake appearing especially azure under the blue sky and white clouds ☁️ After three in the afternoon, the sun is not too strong, it's quite comfortable to walk around and take photos, and it makes you feel very relaxed. It is said that normally cars can drive in, but on holidays, you can only take a small train for sightseeing! Walking up the slope is a bit tiring for my parents, and they can't walk very well, but everything else is fine, I guess the negative comments must be from people who came when the weather wasn't good. I heard they are applying for the 5A scenic area status, it seems it's indeed worth a visit.

Avoiding the crowded scenic spots, one can enjoy leisure and comfort at the North and South Lakes. Blue sky, white clouds, and the unique combination of mountains, sea, and lake—if lucky, one might even encounter a flock of egrets. The island in the heart of the lake is filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, with willows swaying gently, making it a place where one lingers and forgets to return, feeling relaxed and happy. The White Cloud Pavilion is an excellent spot for viewing the scenery and sipping tea, known as the 'Number One Teahouse in Northern Zhejiang.' Climbing up for a view, a gentle breeze comes forth; bowing down for a sip, the fragrance lingers on the lips. After enjoying the scenery, visit the uniquely designed art museum to hunt for treasures and explore mysteries.

We thought about going to the North and South Lakes, but we wanted to find a place to sit. Holidays, just want to be lazy. So I found a place like "Huguang Chunshe". Huguang Chunshe is a hotel, but it has a bar with a view of the lake. You can have a cup of coffee during the day and a quiet day at night, so we come here and have a tea chat. Words of life ~ elegant environment, two sides of the floor-to-ceiling windows make the daytime lighting especially good, the view of the lake view is also very good. The scenery of the north and south lakes from the Huguang Chunshe is really a good scenery of the lakes and mountains./ Nanbei Lake is the only panoramic resort of mountain lakes in China.

In the prose of the literati, in the cheongsam that Yan Tingting passed, beside the tea cake full of fragrant aroma... This is the feminine beauty that is missing in the north, perhaps because of the small missing, so longing for, the land of Jiangnan is like a curse It usually drives me to step on time again and again. Perhaps the people who live here hate it. As friends have described, winter is bitter and cold, and summer is hot. But I am still keen on the tranquility, beauty and leisure here... Ink and wash landscape painting is the impression of most people on the small town of Jiangnan. The pavilions and pavilions, the lakes and mountains, the embankment and the willows make the tenderness of the north and south lakes. The three-day trip to the end of the summer began slowly. Its just a leisurely leisure time, and its unwittingly converted into a food trip. I was amazed by the ubiquitous fruit. The roadside can pick up dates, oranges, grapefruits, golden bells... The famous fruits and vegetables, which are not named, add a lot of joy to the trip.

In the twenty-five years of Qin Wangzheng (222 BC), this small town on the coast of the East China Sea on the banks of the Qiantang River in the north of Zhejiang Province was named Haiyan County because of the seashore is wide and the salt fields are opposite each other. Never changed the name. After more than two thousand years, the city has long since ceased to rely on boiling sea salt for a living, and the former salt fields have evolved into today's beauty. Nanbei Lake can be said to be a business card of Haiyan. It is close to the Qiantang River estuary, and you can see the mountains, the sea and the lake.

It is also to commemorate the shadow of the 1930s in Shanghai. Hu Die came to Nanbei Lake to shoot a "salt tide" with the theme of the life of the sea salt salt people.
