You will understand after reading the secrets of playing in Qiandao Lake!
Family, Qiandao Lake is a treasure resort hidden in Zhejiang. The lake water is as blue as if it was cast by magic, and there are too many islands to count. Don't hesitate, pack your bags, follow this guide and let's catch all the joy of Qiandao Lake!
1. Transportation Guide
1. High-speed rail: Take it directly to Qiandao Lake Station. After getting off the train, there are hotel shuttle buses, buses or taxis to the scenic area. The hotel shuttle bus must be communicated with the hotel in advance for reservation. The bus is economical, but the number of buses and routes is limited; taking a taxi is convenient and fast, but the wallet may be a little "painful". It costs about 50-80 yuan to go to the central lake area.
2. Self-driving: Starting from Hangzhou, go all the way along the Hangzhou-Qian Expressway. You can embrace the beauty of Qiandao Lake in about 2 hours. The scenery along the way is super healing, like driving in a painting. It is not difficult to start from Shanghai. Transfer from the Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway to the Hangzhou-Qian Expressway and arrive in about 4 hours. It is also convenient to replenish and rest at the service area on the road.
3. Bus: Hangzhou West Bus Station has direct buses to Qiandao Lake. There are many buses from morning to night. The journey takes about 2-3 hours and the ticket price is 60-70 yuan. It's just that your butt will suffer if you sit for a long time.
2. Check in at scenic spots
1. Qiandao Lake Scenic Area:
◦ Central Lake Area: A must-go when you come to Qiandao Lake! The ticket plus the boat ticket is about 185 yuan, valid for two days. Climbing up Meifeng Island, you can see more than 300 islands, just like breaking into a green wonderland; Longshan Island has the Hai Rui Temple, where you can feel the charm of history; Yule Island can play in the water, jet skis, banana boats, and you can't stop playing!
◦ Southeast Lake Area: Few people and beautiful scenery, Huangshan Peak must not be missed. Standing on the observation deck, more than 90 islands form "the world is for the public", and nature is the best artist; Osmanthus Island is fragrant with wild osmanthus, and there are cute monkeys to greet you. Remember not to make them angry, otherwise you will be "taught a lesson".
2. Tianyu Mountain Observation Deck: A free check-in spot. It is super beautiful at sunset. The whole Qiandao Lake is shining with golden light under the afterglow. It is a great place to take silhouette photos. You can dominate the circle of friends with just one shot.
3. Beer Town: European-style buildings are beyond the movie, and there are also beer experience halls and go-kart venues. Drink a fresh beer when you are tired, and drive a few rounds of go-karts. Isn't happiness here?
III. Food Exploration
1. Qiandao Lake Fish Head: If you don't eat fish head in Qiandao Lake, it's a waste of time! The fish meat is fresh and tender, and the fish soup is thick, white and fragrant. You can eat multiple fish. The chopped pepper fish head and fish head soup are so fresh that every bite is eyebrow-dropping. I recommend "Chunyuanwai·The Taste of the Ancient Village" and "Kaixin Fisherman (Qiandao Lake Fish Street Store)". They are very popular and taste authentic.
2. Mountain Bamboo Shoots: Local specialty, simple stir-fry is super delicious, fresh and crispy, and it tastes crunchy. You can basically eat it in restaurants in Qiandao Lake.
3. Qiandao Lake Corn Cake: Crispy on the outside, soft and sticky on the inside, the sweetness of corn and the filling are perfectly blended, a bite will give you a full sense of happiness, you can buy it in a roadside shop, it is super comfortable to eat while walking.
