The tourist attractions in the central area of ​​Qiandao Lake include Meifeng Island, Moonlight Island, Longshan Island, and Yule Island. Meifeng Island is also an excellent place to view the scenery of Qiandao Lake. There are two viewing platforms on the top, and the best is on the west viewing platform. If you don't go to Meifeng to see the islands, you won't know the true face of the Thousand Islands. It takes 20 minutes to walk to the top, or you can take a cable car up, which costs 60 yuan for a round trip and 35 yuan for a one-way trip.

By Yuhao |

The tour group all tours this lake area, so there are many tourists, but also many cruise ships. This route also includes three islands, Meifeng Island, Yule Island and Longshan Island. Meifeng Island overlooks the central lake area, but it also has a cable car, which is also only three or four minutes, but the price is 60 yuan. People with good physical strength don't need to take the cable car, and the stay time is not too long. I guess it's also forcing everyone to take the cable car. Longshan Island is mainly to commemorate Hai Rui, and it can be regarded as a personal cultural attraction. Yule Island is mainly for catering and entertainment.

By hohai113 |

The Central Lake Area route includes 3 islands. It is recommended to take an early boat so that you can return at around 3 pm. There are not many things to play on the islands. It is more comfortable to take a cruise with the wind blowing. The facilities on the boat are very good, much better than when I was studying. It is really comfortable to sit on the bow and enjoy the green islands in the lake. You can also climb the mountain and ski down on Meifeng Island. There are various ornamental fish on Moonlight Island, and there are two very ~ very ~ big fish. Anyway, it is the first time I have seen such a large freshwater fish.

Overall it is still worth a visit, but some of the islands are not as fun as I thought before.

By Victor Sweet Dumpling |

After more than nine years, I visited Qiandao Lake again, and many memories are blurred. I didn't do any strategy before departure. I didn't know that the cruise ship usually stopped sending out after 2 pm, and both the speedboat and the cruise ship had to pick up and drop off multiple passengers, so people had to wait for the boat, and there was a strict time arrangement. Generally, the speedboat tour takes three and a half hours, and the cruise ship takes six hours. So the first afternoon was almost wasted. After having lunch at the lakeside food stall, I went back to the hotel to rest. The hotel booked the five-star Media Junlan, which is on the peninsula between the two cruise ship docks. It has complete facilities and very good scenery. There was a strong wind when I set off on the second day. The originally scheduled yacht canceled the voyage (sometimes the voyage will be canceled at irregular intervals, but the ticket can be fully refunded). It was changed to a cruise ship to the island. I heard some secret stories about the construction of Qiandao Lake in the 1960s, which was not bad. Come to Qiandao Lake to see the water here, because it is mixed with light rain, the waves are endless, and the distant mountains are flickering like ink paintings, which is really beautiful. I still remember some trivial information, which are recorded as follows: First, Qiandao Lake is an artificial reservoir. It was built after the founding of New China in order to independently build my country's first hydroelectric power station with independent design and self-made equipment; second, the construction of Qiandao Lake submerged two ancient cities and nearly 1,000 natural villages, some of which are still completely preserved underwater; third, the water storage capacity of Qiandao Lake is extremely large, equivalent to the water storage capacity of 3,000 West Lakes.

After buying the ticket and boarding the boat, the sky began to clear up. I was really lucky. The weather in Qiandao Lake was either cloudy or rainy the previous week. After boarding the boat, I took a photo with the national flag. The mountains and rivers of our motherland are so beautiful. Looking at the world, who can compare with our country! I am proud, I am proud! Qinyuan No. 26 boat is equipped with a tour guide. All the people on the boat must act in unison (all individual tourists) and abide by the time. A total of three islands are visited, which is expected to take about 6 hours. From Meifeng Island, we returned directly to the central lake cruise terminal and docked at around 15:30. The trip to Qiandao Lake ended. Thank God, it was perfect.

By Yao |

The only acceptable scenery is the viewing platform on Meifeng Island, but it's not that good. The entertainment road is simply garbage. I advise everyone not to eat buffets, especially when there are many people. It feels like feeding pigs on an assembly line. The dining environment is particularly bad, 10,000 times worse than the school cafeteria. There is nothing to do on Longshan Island. The overall feeling is very bad. A few broken islands built some buildings and came out to entertain guests ╭(╯^╰)╮. Relatively speaking, cycling around the lake and fish head soup are still good~

Various Bundles:

Ticket bundle: Tickets and boat tickets must be sold together, not separately. Usually 130+65, buy online 180.

Time binding: The boat trip requires landing on three or four islands and staying for about 1 hour, and the total time is 5.5-6 hours. It cannot be advanced or postponed. In other words, the boat ticket is not a pass, but a restriction to a fixed boat, and it is difficult to change boats. Want freedom? No problem, charter a yacht for 1,100 yuan!

Internal fee bundle: After getting on the boat, the scenery on the first floor is not as good as the second floor, and the air conditioning is also poor. You have to pay extra to go upstairs. Want to go to the top of the mountain after landing on the island? No problem, the cable car is 60 yuan/person.

Price pitfall: Hotels and meals go up in price during holidays, with hotel prices starting to double; eating fish in Qiandao Lake: a 4.5 jin fish with two dishes, plus two Cai sets is 138 yuan on weekdays. It is not available on holidays. On holidays, fish heads are 40 yuan/jin and whole fish are 30 yuan/jin.

Meifeng Island is nice, but there is no need to take the cable car. The viewing platform is small and a bit noisy. The scenery is really good.

By WHEN |

There are not many things to do in the central lake area, and the main thing is to see the scenery. It is recommended not to miss the activities on the first island, as there is nothing else behind it.

By Good luck |

Qiandao Lake Scenic Area is beautiful... I like it very much

By Come to Qiandao Lake |

Starting from April, Qiandao Lake tourism enters the peak season. In my eyes, Qiandao Lake is beautiful with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Suddenly, a song came to my mind, "You are too tired, it's time to take a break." Urban life is really stressful. When you take a break, come to Qiandao Lake. If you are willing, find me and I will take you to play.

By secret wish |

Although it is cloudy, the scenery is still beautiful~~~

By Wu Guangchao |

I think it's OK. It didn't rain on the day I went there. What happened this year? It kept raining! It was already 11 o'clock when we got there. We missed the big boat in the morning, so we shared a speedboat with 5 other passengers. It cost 150 yuan per person. We went to four islands. The most beautiful one was Huangfeng Island... The high-speed rail ticket can be half-priced!

By wangbox |

The water source of Qiandao Lake comes from Xin'an River. It was built as a reservoir of Xin'an River. There are many small islands on the lake, so it is called Qiandao Lake. The lake water is very clear and green. It is very pleasant to sit on the dock, feeling the lake breeze and looking at the lake and mountains.

By Swirling Water |

Very beautiful! The turquoise lake and the green islands dotted around!

By Big Bad Wolf |

This is the best place to climb and enjoy the beauty of Qiandao Lake. The lake bay is deep and varied, and the scenery is colorful.

By Cabinet decoration |

Don't ever eat at the Chunfenglou Suiting restaurant on the island. The fish head, which costs 288 yuan, was not cooked for the first time. Several tourists also said that it was the most difficult fish head they had ever eaten.

By Heart in the sea of ​​stars |

I have hurriedly passed Qiandao Lake several times before, and I have always wanted to have a quiet and heartfelt visit. This time I had the opportunity and time to fulfill my wish. I still recommend it. The tickets we bought in Shendu Town, Huangshan, including the tickets for attractions, boat fares and meals cost more than 200 yuan. The boat started at 8 o'clock in the morning and returned to Shendu at 6 o'clock. It took a full ten hours, and the time on the boat was quite long. There are four islands in the central lake area, Meifeng Island, Moonlight Island, Entertainment Island, and Lock Island. The island tour was so-so, and there were all kinds of routines for selling photos, which I didn't like. I couldn't help but buy a lot of photos... Hey, Zhuangyuan Bridge is still very fun, 10 yuan per person. The cable car is a joke, and it's just a little way to go up. Overall, it is still worth recommending. You can bring your family here to play during your vacation.

I came here because of its reputation, but I don't have a very good feeling about it. I admire Zhejiang people for their ability to make money.

By Watching the clouds roll in and out |

The next day, I chose an ordinary boat to go to the island. I checked that the earliest departure from the pier was about nine o'clock, so I decided to have a good breakfast, pack my things, check out, and set off.

We went to the pier to buy the boat ticket and tickets (ticket, 150, boat ticket, 65). We chose the central lake area, which is known as "half of the city is lake and half of the city is mountain, a pearl on the Thousand Islands Lake", and is a key area for tourists to visit. This time we went to Meifeng Island, Entertainment Island, and Moonlight Island in order. It would be better if Entertainment Island was replaced by Longshan Island (Hai Rui Temple).

By Zhugh |

The route of the lake area here is arranged according to the time period of ticket purchase. After buying the ticket, you will be arranged a cruise ship and the whole trip will follow this ship. The specific route depends on the islands open in the season. We were in the time period from 9:30 to 10:30, and the itinerary was from Moonlight Island to Yule Island to Meishan Island. The whole journey took about 6 hours. The ticket for Qiandao Lake is 205 per person when booked online, which already includes the cost of the cruise. After boarding the boat, you can choose to go to the private room on the second floor, which requires an additional 35. The advantage of the upstairs is that you can take pictures on the deck at any time.

By Telescope 1006 |

According to the hotel front desk, the Central Lake District is more crowded and more fun, and recommended us to go to the Central Lake District. However, we read some guides and found that there is no big difference between the Central Lake District and the Southeast Lake District. It is just that the Central Lake District is more developed and more complete. The two islands in the Southeast Lake District, except Huangshan Peak, are basically mandatory. You can't just go to one island and return. Because there is no boat, we must get off the boat and visit according to the boat route. The tour route of the Central Lake District is the same. Except for the main island Meifeng Island to see the panoramic view of the lake, the others are incidental visits. You are not allowed to walk on the first floor of the cruise ship, so you can't take pictures everywhere. You can see parrots on the second floor, but they are not trained parrots that can talk. Moreover, the parrots in cages or tied to racks keep pecking at the rings tied on their feet.

Parking fee is 6 yuan per hour, capped at 40 yuan

The weather is too hot. The boat costs 35 yuan per person to upgrade to the third-floor air-conditioned room with tea and water supply.

The ticket for the central area of ​​Qiandao Lake is 150 + 65 for the boat ticket, a total of 215/person. The key point is that before the end of the trip, the tour guide will remind you that you can apply for a next-day tour, 10/person.

By Yu Xiaowen |

Take a boat trip to the central lake area, admire the red leaves forest, climb to the top of Meifeng Island, and see the islands scattered in the lake. For some reason, the weather was sunny and there was still fog over the lake, which seemed to match the lake view better! At sunset, it was a deep and mysterious blue.

By vivien |

The parking lot of the visitor center is full. We parked at the Qiandao Lake Town Chengxi Parking Lot, about 1.5 kilometers away from the visitor center. There is a bus from the parking lot to the visitor center. Let me complain about the parking fee: 10 yuan/hour. As a tourist attraction, there are few hourly charges. The parking fee is 60 yuan, which is a bit too much. The Qiandao Lake Scenic Area is divided into the Central Lake Area and the Southeast Lake Area. The Central Lake Area consists of Longshan Island, Meifeng Island, Moonlight Island, and Yule Island. The Southeast Lake Area consists of Huangshan Peak, Tianchi Island, Mishan Island, and Osmanthus Island. This time I chose the Central Lake Scenic Area mainly to climb Meifeng Island for a panoramic view. If you want to go to Meifeng Island, you can only buy a 300 yuan speedboat ticket. The staff at the ticket center said that the 215 yuan ticket cannot go to Meifeng Island, and the tickets booked online cannot go to Meifeng Island. 300 yuan includes 150 yuan Qiandao Lake Scenic Area tickets and 150 yuan speedboat tickets. The order of play is Moonlight Island-Longshan Island-Meifeng Island. It is recommended that friends who come to the scenic spot bring their own dry food. After all, you will only play on the island for four or five hours. The restaurant is relatively simple. The most common things on the island are instant noodles, grilled fish and sausages, etc. Get on the speedboat. There are 10-seater, 20-seater and 30-seater. I still feel that the 10-seater is more fun and exciting when sitting down. Although the decoration is relatively better for more people, it is too slow. Before boarding, the scenic area staff will give each person a corresponding mark. Just follow the corresponding mark every time you take the boat, such as the speedboat mark for the speedboat and the Earl mark for the Earl.

It took me four or five hours to visit the Qiandao Lake Central Scenic Area, and the scenery did not disappoint.

By Cold Moon Mark |

When the boat is close to the center of the lake, you can see many islands one after another, some are connected, and some are scattered among them. These are islands that have not yet been developed. The water of Qiandao Lake is so clear, no wonder Nongfu Spring also built a water source here.

By Zhao Yongquan |

The central lake area of ​​Qiandao Lake is the essence of Qiandao Lake and the most spectacular place.

By Alone with the wind |

I have already reviewed the Qiandao Lake Scenic Area, why is there another review of the Qiandao Lake Central Lake Area?

Most tourists who come to Qiandao Lake for the first time go directly to the central area of ​​Qiandao Lake, that is, the central pier of Qiandao Lake to buy boat tickets and take a boat tour. The rest is the same as what I commented in Qiandao Lake Scenic Area.

To visit the central area of ​​Qiandao Lake, you have to take a cruise. We took the Dream 1, which was quite comfortable and the scenery was great, with mist and rain in the air.

The photo was taken in 2013. At that time, the mobile phone was still iPhone 4. Although the pixel was not high, it was able to capture the beauty of Qiandao Lake.

By freezing point |

The scenery of Qiandao Lake mainly refers to the central lake area and the southeastern lake area, both of which require boat trips to "visit" the islands. The central lake area is the most popular, and basically people who come to Qiandao Lake for the first time go to the central lake area. It is famous for its "green mountains, beautiful waters, strange caves, strange rocks, and beautiful people". The main islands to visit are Meifeng Island, Yule Island, and Longshan Island.

By Feifei who loves jumping |

It is still worth going. The air and water quality are still good. It is just that it is really expensive to go to the hotel during statutory holidays.

By make a sightseeing tour |

The central area of ​​Qiandao Lake is mainly composed of several islands: Longshan Island (Hai Rui Temple), Meifeng Island (panoramic view, Meifeng Landscape), Yule Island (water stage), Moonlight Island (lock culture, Yule Bridge, Lucky Bridge, Zhuangyuan Bridge) and the pier (sculptures, archways, Chun'an people's houses).

Qiandao Lake National Forest Park is located in Qiandao Lake in Chun'an County, Zhejiang Province, China, 150 kilometers away from Hangzhou and Huangshan, and is the back garden of the Yangtze River Delta. The scenic area has clear water, thousands of islands, beautiful natural scenery, and excellent ecological environment. It is named after the 1,078 green islands in the lake. Qiandao Lake is one of the first batch of national scenic spots in China, and it is also the largest forest park in China. It is a shining pearl on the golden tourism line of "Hangzhou-Qiandao Lake-Huangshan" famous mountains, famous waters and famous cities.

Qiandao Lake, the commanding point for climbing, overlooking the panoramic view of Qiandao Lake, is a perfect picture of the Jiangnan water town.

Unfortunately, I went there more than ten years ago, and the mobile phone photos at that time were not very good, not to mention the panoramic function.

Qiandao Lake is very beautiful. It takes 4 to 5 hours to get there by boat from Huangshan. The scenery along the way is also very beautiful.

By Carl |

Qiandao Lake is still very suitable for vacation. There is a seafood food stall near Qiandao Lake Pier. You can see the lake from where you eat, which is very good! In addition, Minghu Hotel is also good! Qiandao Lake is really only Meifeng Island worth seeing

By The sky is the limit |

The main attraction in the central lake area is Meifeng Island. Standing on the top of Meifeng Island, you can see more than 300 islands of various sizes in Qiandao Lake. It is currently the best place to climb and enjoy the scenery of Qiandao Lake.

By Doraemon |

Qiandao Lake is a large scenic area. We drove there during the National Day holiday. There were too many people in the central area of ​​the lake and the boat tickets were expensive, so we didn't get on the boat. Accommodation was also expensive (a better hotel costs 700 to 800 yuan a night), so we didn't stay in the town. We drove more than ten kilometers to find a farmhouse hotel. The accommodation was average, but the food was very affordable. It is necessary to go around Qiandao Lake for a week. Only in this way can you experience what the "Thousand Islands" lake is. Driving or cycling are both good. The water quality of the lake is very good, and the fish are very fat. I regret not bringing fishing gear and picnic supplies, otherwise I would camp by the lake for a few days.

Qiandao Lake is a reservoir-type lake scenic spot that was developed relatively early in China.

By The Wind in the Quiet Valley |

The construction of the central area of ​​Qiandao Lake is quite good, and the scenery and food can satisfy tourists.

Generally, a one-day tour can be arranged. Because the tour is arranged by boat, the time can be basically controlled.

The usual tourist route is Moonlight Island - Meifeng Island - Longshan Island.

By As blue as the sky |

The central lake area is a must-see attraction when visiting Qiandao Lake. It is the place that best showcases the charm of the Thousand Islands. Everyone has different views of the mountains, waters and islands. However, with more tourists, it will become more commercialized. Overall, it is still a good place that must be recommended.

By Whoosh |

Except for Meifeng Viewing Point in the central lake area, other islands have their own characteristics. The flowers on Yule Island are very beautiful, while the characteristics of the southeast lake area are Huangshanjian Island and Bird Island.

Qiandao Lake is very beautiful. In the center of the lake, there are round hills that are independent small islands. Can they be described as cute small islands?

By Happy Life |

The central lake area is the essence of the Qiandao Lake Scenic Area. The water is very clear, but the taste of the fish is average.

By End of the Day |

Get on the bus at Hangzhou West Bus Station, buy tickets from Ctrip, and pick up tickets from the self-service ticket machine. It costs 60 yuan and takes about 2 hours to reach Chun'an County Bus Center. You need to transfer two buses to get to the Central Lake District. The transfer station is right next to the Earl's dock. It takes less than an hour to get to the Central Lake District. Get off at the Central Lake District Dock Station.

For accommodation, I recommend Hanting Yilai. You can see it when you get off the bus. It is very close to the central lake pier, 50 meters away. The environment is OK, about 150.

The morning and afternoon tour routes of the central lake area are different. If you take the first morning route, you will be back at 2 pm. You can choose to pay extra to go to the sofa area on the second floor for a yacht tour. Tea and water are provided, and the scenery you see is of course much better. I went on the morning route and visited Meifeng Island, Yule Island and Longshan Island. Meifeng Island has the best natural scenery, and the other two are just so-so. In addition to going to the island, the best thing is of course to enjoy the lake and mountain scenery of Qiandao Lake on the yacht.

If you are going back to Hangzhou after the tour, I suggest you do not go to the passenger transport center to take a bus. You can directly book a ticket at the hotel front desk and get on the bus. They are all tourist buses returning to Hangzhou. The price is the same, which saves you the trouble of running around. I wish you all a happy time~

There are many small islands in the central area of ​​Qiandao Lake. The small islands were originally formed by piling up the sand and stones dug out for digging the reservoir, forming the beauty of the Thousand Islands in the lake area.

Meifeng Guandao (5 photos) is the highest island in Qiandao Lake, located on the Zhuangyuan Peninsula at the western end of the central lake area of ​​Qiandao Lake, 12 kilometers away from Qiandao Lake Town. Monkey Island (4 photos) was originally named Yunmeng Islands, and is composed of more than ten verdant islands of different sizes. Peacock Island is located on Jiepai Island Mountain at the junction of the central lake area and the southeast lake area of ​​Qiandao Lake. Here, the trees are lush and the air is fresh. Here you can watch peacocks spread their tails, enjoy the flying of peacocks, watch peacocks foraging, listen to the peacocks cry, and take photos with groups of peacocks. Lock Island is the world of locks. There are 160,000 heart locks of various types hanging all over the island, and there are happy locks, wisdom locks and zodiac padlock squares for tourists to participate in unlocking and padlocking wishes.

I went to Qiandao Lake in April, which was a perfect way to avoid the rainy season. The scenery was pleasant, the air was fresh, the river water was clear, and the fish on the island was especially delicious, great!

At 7:30, the bus took us to the Qiandao Lake Visitor Center. It was really crowded with people and small flags were flying (the tour guide). Under the guidance of the local tour guide, we walked along the lake embankment for a full 10 minutes under the scorching sun to the Qiandao Lake Passenger Terminal, boarded the three-story "Songcheng No. 2" cruise ship, and started the Qiandao Lake tour. The cabin was a bit stuffy, but it was still bearable. The waiter shouted: "There is air conditioning on the second floor, 10 yuan per person." More than a dozen tourists paid to go to the second floor, and the huge cabin was immediately emptied. Before departure, some hikers mentioned the way to make money on cruise ships in the guide, which was nothing strange. After a while, the cruise ship set sail. The air conditioning in the cabin was a little better, but it was still comfortable to stand on the side of the ship. The blue lake and sky were spotless, and the scattered islands were dotted between the water and the sky. The beauty was so pure and so moving!

At 14:00, our cruise ship returned safely to the tourist pier. We landed at the Qiandao Lake Visitor Center. We didn't have to travel long distances this time. The Ctrip tour guide counted the number of people at the visitor center and asked if there were any tourists who wanted to visit Xiushui Street. As a result, no tourists wanted to go shopping and wanted to go home early. So the Ctrip tour guide responded to the call of the masses and decided to go home immediately. All tourists got on the bus and went home. At 18:00, we arrived in Shanghai smoothly and ended our trip to Qiandao Lake. The most beautiful scenery of Qiandao Lake is in the sailing, the cruise ship breaks through the waves, the breeze blows, the osprey flies, the mountains and rivers depend on each other, what a beautiful landscape painting. The scenery of "Meifeng Island" and "Longshan Island" is still good and worth a visit, but unfortunately the time is too tight. If you travel independently, you can take a good tour. Forget "Yule Island". There is no scenery on the island, and the entertainment projects are too vulgar. It's better not to visit it. It's a pure waste of time and money.

The off-season ticket for the Central Lake District is 120 yuan per ticket, and the boat ticket is 65 yuan per ticket. It costs an additional 35 yuan to upgrade to the second-floor cabin. If it is your first time and the weather is good, it is recommended to go to the second floor. Because we visited the Southeast Lake District the next day, we chose to stay on the second floor for one day and on the first floor for one day. Even in the off-season, the Central Lake District basically has a boat every half an hour. It will start when it is full, not like the Internet says that there are several trips in the morning. In the Central Lake District, we played Moonlight Island, Yule Island, and Meifeng Island. Meifeng Island has the best scenery and the most food on Yule Island. There are also snapshots on Meifeng Island, 25 per photo. When they are backlit, they can only take a little good photo, but their attitude is not very good. Some of them want to take photos or not. Compared with the Southeast Lake District, it is much worse. You can decide whether to take photos or not. Go to the Southeast Lake District the next day, and it only costs 75 yuan.

The scenery is still quite good. I look forward to its independent development. I think it is worth exploring.

Although you can't see more islands when you travel to Qiandao Lake in the rain, it is a different kind of scenery. The lake is vast and blue, and the eyes are full of lush green. Although it is made by man, it seems to be created by nature. In the misty rain, there are mountains in the distance, and there are calm waves nearby.

The most interesting island in the central lake area is Meifeng Island. The other small islands are not very interesting.

If Suzhou and Hangzhou are paradise on earth, then Qiandao Lake is a fairyland. I accidentally saw this holy place, Qiandao Lake, on a honeycomb and immediately decided to go to Qiandao Lake after Hangzhou. When I went to Qiandao Lake, it was two days before the holidays and there were not many people. It happened to be the time when Typhoon Dujuan hit. There were very few people in the scenic area. The quiet feeling matched the fairyland scenery of Qiandao Lake. Qiandao Lake is not big. The whole Qiandao Lake town is built around the Qiandao Lake scenic area. The people of Qiandao Lake are also very friendly and there is no phenomenon of overcharging tourists. Many people are attracted by the West Lake Scenic Area, but if you go to Qiandao Lake and take a good look, you will immediately feel that West Lake is weak!

I took a few photos and told people I was going to shoot the Legend of Shushan. People believed me. You must cycle around Qiandao Lake. You can go to the island to see the scenery in one day. The central lake area and the southeast line are classic routes that are very popular with tourists. However, if there is a typhoon or bad weather, the boat may not sail. It is recommended to check the weather forecast or call before booking a boat, and cycle around the lake the next day. Qiandao Lake is best visited in spring and autumn. It is beautiful! Go to Qiandao Lake when you have time to experience the feeling of peace of mind!

It's really beautiful. The central lake area is better than the southeast lake area and more interesting.

Travelers with plenty of time must choose a regular large cruise ship, and then spend a little more money to go to the teahouse upstairs to slowly enjoy the scenery of Qiandao Lake. At that time, we were divided into two groups, one group took the large ship and the other group took the speedboat. After seeing the photos I took, the friend who took the speedboat suspected that we were going to the same place. After all, the speed was too fast, and the waves would distract attention, and it was easy to ignore the most beautiful scenery.

It is very suitable for leisure and relaxation on weekdays or weekends. There is a special training track for the national cycling team. Feel the simple folk customs in Xiajiang Village

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.

I don't recommend the Central Lake Scenic Area, especially the Fishing Island, which is boring. There are too many time constraints and it's boring. I suggest chartering a boat.

By Island Wanderer |

The scenery of Qiandao Lake is nice, and the lake breeze is very pleasant. It is worth a trip! But our boat did not stop at the pier. Later, we walked a lot to another alternate pier. It was a bit tiring. If it was not a hot day, we didn’t have to pay extra to sit in the private room upstairs. There was wind when the boat was sailing, and we didn’t spend much time on the boat. We mainly spent time on various islands.
