The Emerald Trail on the waters of Qing Shan Lake is so healing
🔔 The Emerald Trail at Qing Shan Lake in Hangzhou has made a stunning return. Besides West Lake in Hangzhou, you must visit this real-life Emerald Trail, where the green natural environment is truly therapeutic❗
⛩️ Attraction, Qing Shan Lake Water Forest.
🚗 Self-driving: Navigate to Qing Shan Lake (Baibaili Liu Zhuang parking lot)
🚃 Public transport: Metro Line 16 Baibaili Station C1 exit, 15 minutes walk
🎫 Ticket: 40 yuan (free with a cultural tourism card)
⭕ Playtime: Business hours: 8 am to 5 pm. It's best to go before 10 am when the light is good and there are few people.
🚤 Kayaking: 120/single kayak, 220/double kayak, about an hour.
🚲 Cycling: No need to buy a ticket, cycle along the greenway, the scenery is beautiful all the way
🚲 Cycling: Cycling on the greenway is free of charge, with options including single bicycles (15 yuan/hour), tandem bicycles (60 yuan/hour), single electric bikes (50 yuan/hour), and tandem electric bikes (100 yuan/hour).
🚃 For those who don't want to cycle, you can take the scenic area sightseeing car (30 yuan/person). When cycling, always follow the Qing Shan Lake Greenway, which has orange signs, to avoid riding on other roads.
📝 Tips:
✅ It is recommended to visit the water forest first. After entering the scenic area, turn left at the first boardwalk, play clockwise, and keep to the left. This way, you can tour the entire water forest and finally reach the kayaking area or the direct exit.
✅ Highly recommended to go on a sunny day for the play of light and shadow, which is super photogenic.
✅ For outfits, it is suggested to wear low-saturation, possibly bright colors like white, (do not wear green) to blend with the natural scenery, which is highly suitable for taking photos.
✅ Ducks are often active at the entrance, while the veteran performers, the swans, are mostly inside the eastern area.
✅ Be careful with your phone or camera when taking photos, don't drop it into the water. Apart from the boardwalk, it's all lake around.
✅ When going, make sure to set your destination to: 【Qing Shan Lake Water Forest】, not just Qing Shan Lake, as the two locations are completely different.

If you come to Hangzhou, I won't let you go to the West Lake, which 99% of people don't know about
📍【Location Secret】—— Hangzhou Qingshan Lake, located in Lin'an District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, about 60 kilometers from the center of Hangzhou, is like an emerald set in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, away from the hustle and bustle, retaining a tranquility and purity that has not been completely unveiled. It is not only a paradise for nature lovers but also an ideal place for travelers seeking solace for their souls.
🏞️【Attraction Introduction】—— Qingshan Lake, true to its name, is surrounded by green hills, with clear lake water reflecting the changing colors of the mountains in all seasons, a sight too beautiful for words. Taking a flat boat on the lake, you feel as if you are traveling through an ink painting. Particularly noteworthy is the water forest in the lake, where stands of fir trees rise from the water, displaying different ecological wonders with the changing seasons. In spring and autumn, the colors are splendid and particularly enchanting.
🚗【Transportation Strategy】—— Departing from Hangzhou, self-driving is the most convenient way, take the Hangzhou-Hui Expressway to the Lin'an exit, and then follow the signs to get there. For public transportation, you can take the subway to Lin'an District and then transfer to a bus that goes directly to Qingshan Lake Scenic Area. Although it's a bit more complicated, the scenery along the way is also a great enjoyment.
🏠【Accommodation Recommendation】—— To deeply experience the serenity of Qingshan Lake, it is recommended to stay at the 'Qingshan Lake Resort Hotel' by the lake, where the rooms face the lake view. Waking up in the morning, the first rays of sunlight intertwine with the mist on the lake, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. Alternatively, choose the 'Forest Cabin' B&B to experience a pastoral life integrated with nature. At night, you can also hear the sounds of insects and frogs, offering a unique flavor.

The Metasequoia forest of Qing Shan Lake is the last carnival of late autumn
The autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is always short and precious. After the golden ginkgo leaves the stage, the golden red Metasequoia is about to debut, bringing the last carnival to this season.
The Metasequoia forest of Qing Shan Lake is the finale of autumn. Immersed in this interweaving of red and green, it's like entering a dreamy world.
The blue sky, clear water, and Metasequoia forest echo each other, forming a picture like an oil painting. The Metasequoia trees stand in the water, they are tall and majestic, creating a serene and Zen-like atmosphere. The warm sunlight shines on the leaves, adding a bright color to the entire forest.
The red Metasequoia forest forms a strong visual contrast with the matcha green of the lake, breaking the usual imagination and making people amazed. At Qing Shan Lake, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery by boat, or you can take a walk along the lake trail, watch egrets, and enjoy the charming autumn scenery.
Walk into the aquatic forest of Qing Shan Lake, feel the changing autumn colors, collide with the beauty of autumn, immerse yourself in the embrace of nature, and enjoy the poetic and long-lasting wonderful time.

Beautiful scenery at Qingshan Lake
#hangzhou
Qingshan Lake is on the West side of Hangzhou city. It's a beautiful reservoir with amazing views, paths to walk and cycle. You can also take a boat or kayak. There aren't many areas to eat although you can find some food vendors. It can get a bit crowded during the weekends so I would recommend getting early or visiting during weekdays. If you come to Hangzhou I would totally recommend you to add it to your list if you enjoy nature.

Cycling around Qingshan Lake ⛰🌿🍃
Qingshan Lake is a scenic area in Lin’an surrounded by mountains, some pavilions, walkways and a cycling trail. The area isn’t very developed and commercial. Construction work is part of the scenery at some point. Very few hotels, restaurants and shops are around the lake. The cycling trail is what makes Qingshan Lake an exciting place. The views are stunning and relaxing ⛰🌿🍃Tranquil corners with benches around the lake are great spots for breaks from cycling. Shared bike parkings, mostly Hello Bikes, are scattered around the lake. As such, renting or parking a bike is convenient 😉 Fishing 🎣 seems to be common, especially at the borders of the lake where there are soil banks.
How to go ➡️ Metro 🚇 line 16 branches to Lin’an. Qingshan Hu 青山湖 is a stop along the line.

Qingshan Lake Hubei Lake has 1 million square meters of rare aquatic forests in China. It is a batch of cedar trees introduced from the Amazon in the 1960s. The tree grows in the water, the boat swims in the forest, the birds sing on the branches, and the people are in the middle of the painting, which is the fun of visiting Qingshan Lake.

Zhejiang•Hangzhou | Summer Matcha Green Light Forest Strategy at Qingshan Lake
The magical land of Qingshan Lake in Hangzhou is super healing!
The water forest of Qingshan Lake in Lin'an District, Hangzhou, is really awesome!
In the park, there is a rich greenery everywhere, just like stepping into the world of the Emerald City. The forest lake is covered with vibrant duckweed, and occasionally large white geese and fat ducks will swim by leisurely. You can also paddle into this forest shrouded in green light in a kayak, gently drifting on the duckweed. From an aerial perspective, the verdant metasequoia trees will turn into a bright red in the late autumn season, which is also very worth seeing.
📍 Location is at Qingshan Lake Water Forest in Lin'an, Hangzhou
🚇 Take Hangzhou Metro Line 16 to 'Babaili' station C1 exit, then walk forward 800 meters to reach the visitor center.
🚗 If driving, navigate to 'Babaili Liuzhuang Parking Lot'.
🎫 Ticket price is 40 yuan, and it's free with a 'Hangzhou Culture and Tourism Card'.
📸 For photography and fun, you can follow the scenic boardwalk. Tip: The light passing through the trees and reflecting on the duckweed at around three or four in the afternoon makes the scenery even more enchanting.
🛶 Kayaking is worth experiencing, but it might be a bit crowded on weekends.

Qingshan Lake Water Forest Park
I was truly healed by the post-rain scenery of Qingshan Lake Water Forest, with its matcha green and avocado green hues. It's a vibrant, life-affirming green. One moment you're immersed in the rain-freshened, dewy metasequoia trees, and the next you see the sunlight spreading across the lake surface, casting shadows in the woods. It's like the grass color entering the curtain, a gift of nature that you hear with your ears and see with your eyes. I can't help but praise the music in the scenic area. Just as you step into this green wonderland, Joe Hisaishi's 'Summer' begins to play, and everyone present exclaims how fitting the music is.

Qingshan Lake's Enchanted Greenery
The forest on Qingshan Lake is not only beautiful in autumn, but also worth seeing in spring and summer.
Who doesn't want to breathe fresh air in the mountains? As the weather warms up, the green leaves of the metasequoia trees have grown, and the water surface is also covered with green plants, as if entering an enchanted greenery.
🎫Ticket
The original ticket price is 40💰, but for Hangzhou workers using the Citizen-Travel Card, it's directly 🆓. The Travel Card includes all the hottest attractions in Hangzhou, with original ticket prices ranging from 20-100+; it's practically a giveaway!
For those who can't use the Travel Card, a certain seafood market will do, where you can get it for just 5💰.
🚗Transportation
Subway: Highly recommended! Exit C of Qingshan Lake Station takes you right there, and there are many red bikes at the subway station entrance that you can scan. You can ride these red bikes directly into the scenic area, and it's 🆓 for up to 2 hours.
Self-driving: As you approach the 800-li scenic area, there is a row of open spaces for parking.

Visitor Center➡️East Zone➡️West Zone➡️Qingshan Lake Circular Lake Walkway➡️800-li Old Street➡️Qingshan Lake Fishing Center
Cycling🚴🏻: Recommended! It's really comfortable to cycle when the weather is good. You can cycle for a long time on the lakeside walkway, and the scenery along the way is also very nice! Including cycling inside the metasequoia forest.
Boating🚣🏻: Not recommended! First of all, it's quite expensive, and secondly, boating is too tiring. It seems nice in imagination, but in terms of atmosphere, it's better to watch others row from the shore.
In the evening, there is a light show in the metasequoia forest, and those with children can sign up for the Deer Light Show, which is beautiful~

Qingshan Lake, Hangzhou Leisure Riding Ceiling! Autumn riding route with a gentle breeze and fragrant osmanthus, the current Qingshan Lake is perfect for driving!
Last year at this time, the matcha colored Qingshan Lake became popular, and this year there are no more green algae, but as a result, there are many fewer people. Riding on a specially built greenway and circling around the lake for about 32km, while enjoying the scenery, is it tiring and nice to ride the lake!

Hangzhou actually has such a fairyland, it's too beautiful!
Hangzhou actually has such a fairyland, it's too beautiful!
Just like its name, it really matches its name: Qiandao Lake Ideal Garden can be directly navigated by self-driving, the ticket is 38 and a cup of coffee is given for free! The garden is very large and you can rent a car to ride!
There is a large venue and there are children's playground facilities, which are very suitable for camping and walking. It is even more a paradise for Haji Mi to run freely
There are lakes, flower seas, forests, green leaf fairy trails, and large lawns. There are various types of art sculptures inside. A casual shot is super atmospheric, and the car can be parked directly on the walkway next to the large lawn, which is too worry-free for lazy camping
You can also stay overnight inside, the supporting facilities for check-in are very complete, this time I did not experience overnight, I must come again next time to experience

Does Qingshan Lake have 'pits'?
🥳Qingshan Lake, also known as 'Jinxian Lake' and 'Huijintan', is surrounded by numerous hotels and holiday resorts. The mountains around the lake are continuous, with lush forests, bamboo, flowers, fruits and trees, and the scenery changes endlessly throughout the four seasons.
The lake is as clear as a mirror, with egrets fluttering and fish swimming in the clear waves. Beihu has thousands of acres of rare water forests in China, which are like a piece of jade embedded in the lush mountains. Boating in it makes people feel relaxed and happy, and they don't want to leave.

Hangzhou | Guide to Qingshan Lake Water Forest Park!
Wondering where to go on the weekend?
Then I must recommend Qingshan Lake Water Forest Park
It's just around Hangzhou, accessible by subway
📍Address: Qingshan Lake Fantasy Water Forest (within Qingshan Lake Scenic Area on Lin'an Science and Technology Avenue)
🎫Ticket: 40 yuan (scan code price for entry) Hangzhou Hui Min card is free🆓
🚇Transport: Subway Line 16 "Qingshan Lake" Station Exit D
⏰Daytime opening hours: 8:00-17:00
⏰Nighttime entry time: 15:00-20:00
After getting off the subway, walk straight down the street on the right for about 1 kilometer. When you see many bicycles and riding bikes, you know you've arrived.
Qingshan Lake is quite large, with many options!
1⃣️Cycling along the lake
There are different cycling options at the entrance. You can choose your preferred mode of transport, pay by scanning the code, and cycling along the lake is a good choice!
2⃣️Water Forest Park
The most checked-in place is still the water park. Walk straight along the road, pass the snack sellers, and you'll reach the scanning area. You can buy tickets directly at the entrance by scanning the code, or you can buy package tickets on the platform!
After scanning the code to enter, there are wooden paths winding through the forest. The water surface is very calm, with green duckweed floating on it. The sun shines down, the light passes through the water fir, and the Tyndall effect is full when looking from a distance. It's really like a painting!
❤️If you want to immerse yourself more, you can take a boat. 120-220 yuan/hour
3⃣️Stroll in the park
Go straight along the wooden path at the entrance, there is an exit where you can go out and stroll around the other scenery inside. You can sit down and bask in the sun, admire the autumn colors of the red water fir in the garden, it's really nice!
4⃣️Immersive Light and Shadow Theater
This is a nighttime project, with ticket checking starting at 15:00 in the afternoon. There are four performances in total for the night tour, experiencing the collision of forest fantasy and light and shadow.
I think it's worth the ticket price to go for a trip! Walking around, strolling around, looking at the calm lake, your mood will also become much calmer. I even think that it's really suitable for doing yoga there when the weather is warm!🙊
ps: Although the weather in Hangzhou has been sunny recently, the temperature has dropped, so you should dress warmly. Also, it's best to go early, especially on weekends, to avoid the crowd. And if you go early, the sun is more abundant, and the photos are better!
❤️Don't worry about being hungry, there is food at the entrance and inside the park
