梅峰岛

One of the most popular islands in Qiandao Lake Scenic Area. You can take a cable car to the mountain from the foot of the mountain. There are two viewing platforms on the top of Meifeng: the East Viewing Platform and the West Viewing Platform.

Located on the Zhuangyuan Peninsula at the western end of the central lake area of ​​Qiandao Lake, it is 12 kilometers away from Qiandao Lake Town. It is identified as a first-class scenic spot in Qiandao Lake for its scattered islands, crisscrossing harbors and ecological environment. On a sunny day, you can climb up to the Meifeng Observation Deck to have a panoramic view of more than 300 islands of various sizes. One theory about the name of the "Meifeng" scenic spot is that Meifeng Island is composed of five hills, shaped like plum blossoms; another theory is that the mountain was covered with many wild willow-leaf wintersweets in the past, hence the name. There is also a cable car on Meifeng Island, which only takes three or four minutes and costs 60 yuan. It is recommended that you climb by yourself if you are physically fit. The cruise ship does not stay too long, so the elderly, children, women and children need to take the cable car.

As the first of the Thousand Islands, the most popular Meifeng Island has a panoramic view of more than 300 islands when the weather conditions are good. Since you need to take a boat and follow the cruise schedule to visit Qiandao Lake, you don't stay on the island for a long time. In addition, there are many tourists during the Spring Festival, and Meifeng Island is a must-visit place, which leads to a long queue time for taking the cable car up and down, so I chose to walk up the mountain, but it only takes 20 minutes, which is not very high. There are many tourists on the top of the mountain, but the scenery is really good, and I also saw plum blossoms in full bloom, which is worth the trip. ps. When going down the mountain, I chose the grass skiing project, which was a bit pitfall. I had already walked to the foot of the mountain and paddled for a few seconds. Although the speed was quite fast and it was nice to experience it, selling tickets on the mountain was really suspected of being a pitfall.

🌟Today's itinerary was originally planned to go to Meifeng Island to take a panoramic view of Qiandao Lake. Because we didn't do much research in advance, we went directly to the scenic spot.

🌟When I bought the ticket, I was told that it would take 5 and a half hours to visit Meifeng Island. Therefore, the boat ticket at 1 pm would not be back until 6:30 pm. And the trip to Meifeng Island was arranged at the last island. I have to admire the locals' shrewdness👍. In fact, most tourists who come to Qiandao Lake just want to take a panoramic view of Qiandao Lake at Meifeng Island or Huangshan Peak. In order to promote tourism to other islands, the locals packaged several islands and arranged the island for taking panoramic views at the last point.

🌟As an old wizard, I was exempted from the 150 yuan entrance fee and only needed to pay a 60 yuan boat ticket to set off.

🔼The tour guide suggested taking the cable car, because there is not much scenery to see on the trail to the top, and it is tiring to walk by yourself. With our leg strength, we felt it was a piece of cake 😜, and we had just trained our legs in the forest oxygen bar in the morning, so we hiked to the island, which took 16 minutes one way. After climbing up, we could see all the small islands.

🔼There are actually two observation decks at the top. The top one was so crowded that it felt like a tourist attraction. Especially when one or two tour groups swarmed in, it was hard to appreciate the scenery. After taking two photos, we walked down the stairs to the second observation deck. There were basically no people there, so we could take a few selfies without worry. The observation deck was quite sunny🌞, and we had already seen the scenery and taken photos, so there was no need to stand there all the time. So we set off back to the pier to board the ship.

By Enjoy Life Chen Ming |

After we reached the top, the sunlight was facing us, so the islands we saw were backlit and dark in color. Ordinary tourists also see the same thing as in my photos.

Fortunately, I brought my drone, Xiaoyu, with me. After it took off, I turned 180 degrees and was able to see a series of islands in Qiandao Lake. There was no shortage of green waters, green mountains, and golden belts.

What is the Golden Belt? The islands of Qiandao Lake are all made up of brownish-yellow rocks on their edges. When viewed from the air, they look like golden belts surrounding each island, commonly known as the Golden Belt!

By When there is blue sky, I want to go outside |

The scenery is great, just pass by and check in on the road, enjoy it for 5 minutes and leave, but it is difficult to park, and you can't find a spot. You have to park the car when driving from east to west, and it is a bit dangerous in the opposite direction.

By Good luck |

I like it very much... I like it very much... It's so beautiful...

By Zhong Yu |

It is said that this is an island where you can see the whole picture of the island. The aerial photography should be very beautiful. The scenery after climbing the island is similar to that of other islands.

By light rain |

The cruise guide always recommended taking the cable car, but it only took 20 minutes to climb the mountain. We also brought a 4-year-old child with us, and chose to go grass skiing when we went down the mountain. Grass skiing is fun, but it is not safe enough, so it is not recommended for those with children. The scenery is good, and the plum blossoms are beautiful.

By Heart in the sea of ​​stars |

The first stop of the one-day tour of the central lake area of ​​Qiandao Lake. The essence of Qiandao Lake lies in the water. Although Meifeng is called a peak, it is not very high. There is a cableway up the mountain, which is 60 yuan round trip. In fact, this mountain feels not much higher than Shanghai Sheshan. It is easy to climb, and it is a waste to take the cableway. It costs 25 yuan to take a group photo on the observation deck. The photo is quite clear, which is slightly better than the various routines of other islands. You can also go grass skiing when you go down the mountain. It is the favorite of children, but the time is too tight.

By Clear |

Although there is a cable car, I suggest that if you are not traveling with family members who are very inconvenient to move, you can walk to the top of the mountain. For young people, it is tight on the feet and you can have more time to enjoy the scenery and take pictures. There are so many people at the viewing platform, but the tour guide said that it was the morning of the first working day after the weekend, which was not the peak period. You must take advantage of every opportunity to capture the photo opportunity.

By Watching the clouds roll in and out |

Meifengguan Island is located on the Zhuangyuan Peninsula at the western end of the central lake area of ​​Thousand Island Lake. It is named because there are five connected hills that resemble plum blossoms.

After arriving on the island, you can choose to take the cable car or walk. We definitely chose to walk, as there are more than 1,000 steps. There is only a viewing platform on the island to see the most beautiful attractions of Qiandao Lake, so the 1 hour given is more than enough.

Go up the mountain and listen to the pine trees! The air is very humid and the ground is wet, as if it had just rained.

The islands here are like jasper, the small ones are like a pill of snails (the one in the front seems to be!), and the big ones are like Bixiu Qianxun, as quiet as jade, like bamboo shoots and like a tablet; its water is like a girl removing her veil, with bright eyes, white teeth, tenderness and lingering affection, revealing the true beauty of the water.

It is said that you can see more than 300 islands scattered on the canvas of Qiandao Lake from the West Observation Deck. However, there are more people than islands. In fact, the scenery of the self-driving around the lake yesterday was also very beautiful. Besides, there is no ticket or boat ticket, and there are no passers-by. It is the first time to come here, and I still have to go to the island to take a look. Next time I come, I will not come in.

There is a cable car from the pier to the top of the mountain. I read the guide before coming here and it only takes more than 10 minutes to walk, so I walked decisively. The top of the mountain is the landmark of Qiandao Lake, Meifeng Panorama, overlooking Qiandao Lake.

By Yes. |

It takes about 15-20 minutes to climb to the top of Meifeng Island. There is also a cable car that can reach the top. To be honest, the island is just a small hill, and it is very easy to climb up. You can also enjoy the scenery while climbing. Although the scenery is just trees, trees, and bluestone steps, the beauty of Meifeng is not exaggerated. It is especially suitable for aerial photography. It is really spectacular!

By Ting, don't stop |

It is the best place to view the Qiandao Lake. The tickets and promotional videos of Qiandao Lake we saw were all shot here. After getting on the island, there are two ways to get to the top of the mountain: cable car and hiking. I took the cable car with my children, which cost 60 yuan for a round trip and took two minutes to reach the top of the mountain. However, the viewing effect was very good. It only took more than ten minutes for the others to walk up, but the weather was a bit too hot that day, and they were all sweating profusely after they came up.

There are two observation decks at the top of the mountain. The east observation deck is blocked by trees and islands, so you can't see much of the lake.

The scenery at the West Observation Deck is different. Green waters and green mountains, plus blue sky and white clouds, the scenery is like this.

By vivien |

The staff on the boat will recommend you to take the cable car (50 yuan/person), but it is not necessary. It only takes 30 minutes to climb to the highest observation deck and stop and go. However, if you have elderly people and children, you can consider taking the cable car. There are also grass skiing (30 yuan/person) and a tea culture museum on Meifeng Island. There are two observation decks on Meifeng Island, one is the East District Observation Deck, which is very small and has a narrow view. The other is the West District Observation Deck, which is actually not big either, but has a much wider view and is crowded for taking photos.

By Alone with the wind |

Although Qiandao Lake is said to have 1,078 islands, only four of them have been developed and are open to the public!

Some of the four islands, such as Monkey Island and Bird Island, were completely wiped out due to bird flu in order to avoid the risk of an epidemic. The tour guide said on the boat that even if you went up to those two islands, you wouldn't see any animals.

So the two islands we visited on this lake trip are "Meifeng Island" and "Longshan Island".

Photography depends on the weather, and there is nothing anyone can do when faced with weather like this.

When we arrived at "Meifeng Island", before getting off the boat, the tour guide kept recommending taking the cable car back and forth, saying that it would save time and energy (isn't that nonsense?). Why didn't she say that it would also save money?

Seeing how enthusiastic and positive she is, is there any kickback?

Besides, I looked up and roughly checked the altitude. This is also called a mountain?

I didn't take this journey seriously, and with a bit of rebelliousness, I strode to the top on foot!

When you reach the "observation deck" on the top of the mountain and look around?

If I were to use four words to describe the scenery on the top of the mountain, it would be “terrible”; and another four-character motto would be “want to cry but have no tears”.

Even the local vendors who had contracted the photography corner in the viewing platform comforted the tourists: "Alas, the weather is a little bit bad today, but since you are here, why not take a photo? You can pick it up right away, you can pick it up right away..."

I silently took out my ticket and compared the brilliant Qiandao Lake on the ticket with the scenery in front of me. The result was as follows:

I quickly took two photos under the umbrella and hurried down the mountain along the stairs.

The tour guide gave me less than an hour from getting off the boat to sailing. I strode up and down the mountain. Before I boarded the boat, I saw dark clouds rolling over the lake. Even if there were some layers, it delayed me for some time to take pictures. In this way, after I stepped onto the "Qingxi" cruise ship, the boat departed in a few minutes - I saved another 60 yuan in cable car fees.

If you take a boat to this island, don't be fooled by the tour guide to take the cable car up the mountain. It costs 60 yuan per adult, but the tour guide will not tell you that you can reach the top by taking the mountain trail for more than ten minutes, and in terms of the lake view, you can't go to the top of Tianyu Mountain, the highest point in Chun'an, which is free. The top is higher and farther. I'll show you the pictures for your own comparison. The blurry one at the back is Tianyu Mountain, because the weather was bad the next day. Before you go to Qiandao Lake, do your homework. My personal suggestion is: Don't go to the central lake scenic area to take a boat to visit the island. The scenic spot ticket is more than 150 yuan plus the boat ticket is 65 yuan. In addition, the upgrade cabin costs 35 yuan. It's not worth it. 1. After you go there, you will find that the actual island tour time will not exceed half, and most of the time is on the boat, which is like spending a few hundred yuan to visit a large reservoir! The scenery of the Qiandao Lake, which stretches over 700 kilometers and consists of 1,078 hills, is similar and does not give people a bright or pleasing experience. Although there is no compulsory consumption throughout the journey, the scenic area guide on the boat will use words similar to inducement to let you take the cable car and buy cakes on the island. So where can you go? I recommend driving around the lake, or riding a bicycle, finding a homestay and fishing are all good choices, you will find more beautiful scenery! You can climb Tianyu Mountain, the highest point in Chun'an, and it is best to stay in a five-star hotel for a few hundred yuan after the New Year in March and April, excluding weekends. The fish head is really delicious. Everyone should do their homework to eat fish. Don't be ripped off by the fish restaurants on the street!

There are too many people, it's not interesting. Just look at the scenery

By freezing point |

There are two options for climbing Meifeng Island: 1) If you are not very strong, you can take the cable car. But I tell you, when there are many people, the time you spend waiting for the car is enough for you to reach the top. 2) Take the "11" road, which takes only 15-20 minutes from the foot of the mountain to the top. Which one you choose depends on whether you are wise or not.

Meifeng Island is located in the central area of ​​Thousand Island Lake. It is the highest island in Thousand Island Lake. More than 300 islands can be seen from the observation deck, with excellent scenery.

I was already tired of the previous island tours, especially the Fishing Island. The rain was getting heavier, and Xixi was crying and refused to go up the mountain. We insisted on walking up the mountain and bought a fake raincoat at the foot of the mountain. But when we got to the top of the mountain, we felt that the trip was worthwhile. The view was really broad.

By Danny |

After reaching Meifeng Island, you can choose to take the cable car or climb by yourself. We chose the cable car but regretted it a bit. The queue was crowded. We waited for half an hour and it took less than two minutes to reach the top... If it is not too hot, I suggest you climb to the top of the mountain by yourself. After reaching the top, you can overlook the lake and mountains of Qiandao Lake. It should be the best viewing platform of Qiandao Lake, and there are the most tourists, all gathered here to take pictures. The Qiandao Lake photographed in different light is sometimes blue and sometimes green

By Bald boy |

Qiandao Lake has beautiful mountains and clear waters, but the tourism industry is rife with rip-offs and tourists are deceived, and everything is commercialized. I hope the local tourism department will step in and take care of it, and not let a single bad apple ruin the entire Qiandao Lake scenic area.

By China-TravelNote users |

It was raining heavily and I didn't see anything. It was just average.

Standing on the top of Meifeng Island and looking at more than 300 islands of various sizes, it is currently the best place to climb and enjoy the scenery of Qiandao Lake.

A must-see attraction~~~~ You can see hundreds of islands~~ A great place for viewing~~

By YaYaMom |

We arrived at the pier around 7:30 in the morning. There were already many cars in the parking lot. We lined up to buy tickets (price chart below). After boarding the boat, each person could add a second-floor seat for 35 yuan. We could walk around the boat, take pictures, and have a cup of green tea and some candies.

The first stop is Moonlight Island. There are various locks on the island. It is not far to walk, but you don’t have to go back (you don’t have to visit any of the three islands). You can take photos of the famous species on the island for 20 yuan per photo. A round trip across Zhuangyuan Bridge costs 10 yuan.

The second stop is Meifeng Island. You can walk up the mountain or take the cable car. I personally think it is unnecessary. The cable car is very short and the ticket price is 35. When you reach the top of the mountain, it feels a bit rip-off. There is a small photo area and several small islands scattered around. The grass skiing on the way down the mountain is even shorter, and the ticket office is still some distance away from the grass skiing area.

The third stop is Yule Island, which is the most disappointing island. The buffet on the island costs 35 or 55, and a show costs 25. There are several water sports and feeding fish, which require you to spend money. So we stayed on this island the longest. In the end, everyone waited at the pier of this island to get on the boat, because the boat would only dock when the specified time was approaching. I felt a little disappointed.

There are two viewing platforms on the top of Meifeng: the East Viewing Platform and the West Viewing Platform. The best is at the West Viewing Platform. From top to bottom, there are densely populated islands, and the scenery is excellent. You can personally experience the artistic conception of green mountains, green waters and golden belts. Looking across Qiandao Lake, the islands are like plum blossoms, floating on the water. The scattered islands in front of you are like stars in the Milky Way. The larger islands and harbors are crisscrossed, drawing a white sandy beach arc between the green islands and green waters. "If you don't go to Meifeng to see the archipelago, you won't know the true face of the Thousand Islands" is well-deserved.

By Idealism |

Meifeng Island is the best island to see the scenery of Qiandao Lake. You can take a cable car to go up and down the mountain, but the round-trip ticket is 60 yuan. I personally think it is not cost-effective, and it doesn't take long to walk up. When you come down, you can choose to ski on the grass and have some fun.

By Summer_Xinyan |

The view is very good. The cable car is recommended by the tour guide, but it is also very close if you walk up. Some people in our group reached the top of the mountain at the same time as the cable car. I don't like this kind of hard selling. The scenery on the mountain is not bad

By Zhou Xiaobo |

Worth a visit! The scenery is pretty good~ and there is free tea tasting...

By Zoey |

Qiandao Lake is a bit far from Hangzhou. In order to catch the bus, we set off from Hangzhou Hotel at 6 o'clock. The bus cost 65 per person. What's frustrating is that the bus doesn't go directly to the scenic area. I took a Didi. It was a very formal taxi. You can take the cable car up or walk. It's not far. It only takes 15 minutes. The view is good after going up. You can see the whole view of Qiandao Lake. In addition, I tasted the local specialty food, grilled fish. 15 a day, it tastes good. First fried and then grilled. Crispy.

By A lazy little guy who loves food |

It's not that high. It's said that you can see more than 300 islands. I didn't output that many. But you must go to Meifeng Island when you arrive at Qiandao Lake.

By JJ-2317 |

Why I didn't give a high score for the scenery? Because it was raining and foggy that day. The tour guide tricked me into taking the cable car up. It was 60 yuan for a round trip, just 2 minutes. I was also drunk. I couldn't see anything clearly after going up, but it should be good if the weather is sunny. Regarding the issue of tour guides, whether you are traveling with a group or an individual tourist, as long as you take a boat, you will be equipped with a local guide. The tour guides take turns to introduce on the boat, which is not bad.

By China-TravelNote users |

Depart from the central pier in the morning and the first stop is Meifeng Island.



Meifeng Island is worth it, the view from above is great, the scenery is beautiful! But there are too many people. It is too easy for long-distance runners not to take the cable car. Breathing fresh air on the road is better than anything else. Because I heard that the grass skiing is artificial grass, I didn't take it. But on the way down the mountain, I heard the grass skiing shouting, which was a bit regrettable.



My wife thinks the 215 yuan boat trip is too slow! If there is a chartered boat trip, it will be a better choice.



The third stop, Longshan Island, was really fun! It is said that this is the largest island. There is a Hai Rui Temple next to Pier No. 1 and a bell tower on the top of the mountain. We quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, climbed the tower to ring the bell, prayed for health, and overlooked the beautiful scenery on all sides. Of course, the time left on the cruise ship is not enough. Going up the mountain is not a connection route. If you miss the time to board the ship because of climbing the mountain or viewing the scenery, you will be responsible for the consequences...

By The Boatman |

Meifeng Panorama is something that Qiandao Lake has always talked about. Meifeng Island is praised very much. It is true that the scenery here is indeed good, but it is a little worse than Huangshan Peak in the southeast lake area. The cable car goes up and down for 60 yuan per person. We walked up, which was not tiring, but it was more time-consuming. If you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery, it is recommended to take the cable car up and down, so that you have enough time to see the scenery on the island. Snapshot 25 per photo, I personally feel that it is not as good as Huangshan Peak. Everyone can see what they need. This is the most fun island in the central lake area.

The highest island in Qiandao Lake is located on the Zhuangyuan Peninsula at the western end of the central lake area of ​​Qiandao Lake, 12 kilometers away from Qiandao Lake Town. It is identified as a first-class scenic spot in Qiandao Lake for its scattered islands, crisscrossing harbors and excellent ecological environment. "If you don't go to Meifeng to see the islands, you won't know the true face of Qiandao." More than 300 islands of different sizes are currently the best place to climb and enjoy the scenery in Qiandao Lake. Liu Yi, the former director of the National Tourism Administration, couldn't help but write a horizontal plaque with four characters "Meifeng Wonders" for the wonderful scenery in front of him when he climbed up to the Meifeng Observation Deck.



The Meifeng Scenic Area has developed several special tourism projects, including "Climbing to View the Island", "Rafting on the Water", "Visiting the Orchard", "Forest Wilderness Tour", "Cable Car Sightseeing", "Meifeng Grass Skiing", and "Five Blessings of Plum Blossoms". The scenic area has a wealth of special landscapes: Daixianggui, Lianlisong, Yunxiang Garden, Orchid Pond, Shuangfeng Bridge, Zishapo, and a sea of ​​plum blossoms... The "Welcoming Pine" with the portrayal of "a golden turtle carrying a green pine on its back, calm under the pressure of snow and water" is a unique sight in Qiandao Lake.

You can see the whole picture of Qiandao Lake when you climb Meifeng Island. You can also encounter beautiful scenery from time to time on the way down the mountain.

You can enjoy the lake view from the highest point of Qiandao Lake Island. It is a small hill. You can hike or take the cable car to climb the mountain. I personally think it is not necessary to take the cable car. You can reach the top in 20 minutes on foot. There are two observation decks where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qiandao Lake's thousands of islands.

Meifeng Island is located in the Qiandao Lake Scenic Area at the junction of Anhui and Zhejiang. It has numerous archipelagos, crisscrossing harbors, and an excellent ecological environment.

There are more than 5,000 artificially planted plum trees of various kinds on the island, mostly red plum, green plum, white plum, winter plum, etc. When the plum blossoms are in full bloom, this place becomes an excellent plum blossom viewing spot in Qiandao Lake.

Climbing up to the Meifeng Observation Deck, when the weather is fine, you can have a panoramic view of more than 300 islands of various sizes in the lake area. It is currently the best place to climb and enjoy the beauty of Qiandao Lake.

To go to Meifeng Island, you need to take a boat at Qiandao Lake Cruise Terminal. The boat tickets can be purchased in groups on Ctrip. Usually, a Ctrip tour guide will register the invoice at the ticket gate and give each person a group number. Once everyone is together, they will take different yachts according to the arrangements of the local Maritime Administration.

The entire Meifeng Island is not very big, and it would take a lot of time to climb up by yourself. I don’t recommend taking the cable car, as I was holding my son.

It's nice to climb all the way to the top of the mountain and see the view of the archipelago when the weather is good.

The surrounding tours are becoming more and more comfortable, but it's a pity that they are too expensive... I paid 480 yuan for a three-island tour for one person, but I was put on a tanker with a Nanjing tour group.

The mountain is not high, but the weather is bad and it is foggy as far as you can see.

Meifeng Island is the central island of the central lake area of ​​Hangzhou Qiandao Lake Scenic Area. Among the islands in the central lake area, Meifeng Island has the best scenery and is the best place to view Qiandao Lake. It has the reputation of "If you don't go to Meifeng to see the islands, you won't know the true face of Qiandao Lake". The natural scenery is beautiful. If the weather is clear, you can choose to take the cable car to climb Meifeng, and the view will be better. If you want to walk on the secluded mountain path, hiking is also a good choice. When you reach the top, looking at the beautiful island scenery in front of you, it can be said that the hard work and long journey are worth it.

Standing on the signboard of Nongfu Spring and overlooking Qiandao Lake, it feels really different.

It is the most fun one, overlooking Qiandao Lake, it is so beautiful, you must go

Meifeng Island is surrounded by many small islands, with nearly 300 islands of various sizes. Standing on the observation deck, you can have a bird's eye view of the surrounding islands. The mountains and waters are connected, which is very beautiful. After taking a boat to the island, you can take a cable car or hike up the mountain. It is a great place for photography.

If you go to Qiandao Lake, you must go to Meifeng Island.

Meifeng Island is the best viewing spot in the central lake area, but the lake was foggy and the view was not clear on the morning we went there. According to local friends, it still depends on luck to encounter fog-free weather, after all, the lake is so large and the water evaporates quickly. Despite this, the scenery is still fascinating. Friends who like photography should not forget to bring wide-angle or ultra-wide-angle lenses. There is no need to squeeze to the top viewing platform, the view downstairs is also great.

Meifeng Island is a must-see attraction.

It took more than five hours to drive from Jiangsu, and I got up very early. I was a little tired on the road. The scenery was okay. I just went to the top of the mountain to take a few photos. There was nothing fun and the entertainment was not strong. Maybe I am a young person and prefer something a little more entertaining. If you don’t exercise much and have a schedule for the whole day, I suggest taking the cable car. In fact, you don’t walk much, but you will be tired after a day of fun. You must experience the lake view room when you come to Qiandao Lake. I stayed at Xiushui Hotel. I compared dozens of hotels. It was not a holiday. It was 400 per night. I booked it on Ctrip. It was a suite. The scenery was okay. There was a lake on one side and mountains and woods on the other side. It felt good, but it was a pity that I was too tired and rested without enjoying it properly!

The island is not big, the top of the mountain has a nice view, and it only takes half an hour to climb to the top. There is a cable car up and down, and there is grass skiing, but it is only a short section. In the afternoon, there are no ordinary large ships going to Meifeng, so you can only charter a boat or take the Dream One boat

Look up at Qiandao Lake under the scattered sunshine; open your mind and stroll in the ancient town of Qinchuan in the misty morning fog...

Witness the romance of the Thousand Islands, appreciate the excitement of mountain rafting, and feel the magic of the strange rocks and forests...

Qiandao Lake is a vast blue lake surrounded by lush green.

Green mountains, clear water, quiet birds and a tranquil lake. Qiandao Lake presents different pictures in different seasons. In the distance are rolling hills, and in the near are islands on the lake. "Although they are made by man, they seem to be created by nature." Watching the islands and walking in the water every day, I am willing to be a Chun'an resident forever. Every encounter with Qiandao Lake is a visual feast.

It is hard to tell whether it is cloud or fog, gently covering the mountains, as if entering a fairyland. It is unknown whether a fairy has ever walked out of the landscape painting. The painting separated from the water has more mystery, but it reminds people of the "Thousand Peaks" many years ago, the previous life of Qiandao Lake at that time.

People walk on the shore, birds fly through the mountains, and their reflections are in the clear stream, just like "people walk in a mirror, birds fly in a screen". Such a beautiful reflection can't help but make people feel relaxed and happy. The boat seems to be sitting in the sky, the people seem to be walking in the mirror, and the fish seem to be hanging in the mirror.

It is said that if you have not been to Meifeng Island, you have not been to Qiandao Lake.



So... As you can imagine, there were so many people that I didn't take many photos.

There are crowds everywhere.

It is said to be the most worthwhile island in Qiandao Lake. The scenery is really good, but it must be packaged with other attractions.

By Ruo Haihui |

Meifeng should be the most scenic island among the currently developed islands in Qiandao Lake. From the top of Meifeng, you can see the most beautiful scenery of Qiandao Lake. There are more than 300 islands, which are very beautiful. However, Meifeng Island is relatively large, but you can choose to take a cable car.

The second island is "Meifeng Island". The viewing platform on the top of Meifeng Island is the best place to view the lake. Many pictures of Qiandao Lake in the media were taken here. Climbing the mountain along the small stone steps under the scorching sun, although the jungle is dense and the shade is blocked by trees, it is still very hot. The high temperature of 39°C is not covered. The three little princesses climbed to the pavilion halfway up the mountain to rest and cool off. They didn't want to climb to the top, so the little sister had to stay with them. We continued to climb. In fact, Meifeng Island is not high or steep. It is very easy to climb. It only takes 20 minutes to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top. Climbing to the top of the mountain is sweating profusely. When standing on the West District Observation Deck and looking out, the lush islands are like emerald duckweed, floating on the calm blue lake. The scattered islands are as dazzling as the stars in the Milky Way, and the hot mood is instantly cooled down. This is the well-known Qiandao Lake scenery, the darling of the media, and it is worthy of the saying "If you don't go to Meifeng to see the islands, you won't know the true face of the Thousand Islands." At 12:30 we left "Meifeng Island" and headed for the last small island "Longshan Island".

Meifeng Island is the best place to climb up and enjoy the lake in Qiandao Lake Scenic Area. You can take a cable car to the mountain at the foot of the mountain. There are two viewing platforms on the top of Meifeng: the East Viewing Platform and the West Viewing Platform. The best is at the West Viewing Platform. From top to bottom, there are densely populated islands, and the scenery is excellent. You can personally experience the artistic conception of green mountains, green waters and golden belts. Looking across Qiandao Lake, the islands are like plum blossoms, floating on the water. The scattered islands in front of you are like stars in the Milky Way. The larger islands and harbors are crisscrossed, drawing a white sandy beach arc between the green islands and green waters. "If you don't go to Meifeng to see the archipelago, you won't know the true face of the Thousand Islands" is well-deserved.

The clear water of Qiandao Lake is even more long and magnificent because it is connected with Qiantang River, Fuchun River and Xin'an River. The lake view is beautiful, but there are too many self-funded projects. I especially complain about the cable car on Meifeng Island, which costs 60 yuan per person for a round trip. It only takes two minutes to go up and down, and there is no time to take pictures!

This is the largest developed island. There are two ways to reach the top of the island. One is to walk and visit the forest oxygen bar; the other is to take the cable car like I did.

Price: 35 one way, 60 round trip

"If you don't go to Meifeng to see the islands, you won't know the true face of the Thousand Islands." Meifeng is the best place to climb and enjoy the scenery of Qiandao Lake, with more than 300 islands in full view.
