Xiazhu Lake 🇨🇳 Zhejiang
An unexpected gem of a tourist site.
A colleague at work asked if I wanted to go to their hometown of Deqing for the long weekend. So I tagged along and stayed with them nearby to Moganshan. The family that I stayed with really wanted me to go to the wetlands instead of to the more touristy Moganshan town. so that's where we went.
At Xiazhu Lake you start your adventure through the park with a trip on the boats which cut through the lily pads and head through the lake at the centre of the park.
Once you dock, there are trails and activities to do all around the lake. Jumping, climbing or just relaxing Chinese camping style there is space and options.
The coffee house has a roof top terrace looking out over the park which is perfect to grab a few pics.
A lovely day out and more than enough to do for a full day.

A veritable Emerald City, the Hangzhou backyard garden at the end of spring
Deqing Xiazhu Lake Wetland is located within the territory of Deqing County, Zhejiang Province, 40 kilometers away from the center of Hangzhou city, with a main lake area of 3.4 square kilometers. The wetland park is a newly developed natural ecological scenic area in Deqing County.
In late March, I visited Xiazhu Lake with my family, and in late April, I brought friends over again. The Xiazhu Lake in March and April is full of blooming flowers, a paradise on earth. Although there are still flowers in late April and early May, the lush greenery is more prominent, offering a cool and comfortable feeling in the warm and dimming sun of the season, making one feel relaxed and happy. The wetland park is natural, wild, and away from noise, with the original wild fun of nature and a return to simplicity. Cartoon animals scattered in the grass and woods create an atmosphere of a green fairyland.
Transportation: 4 kilometers from the Deqing toll station exit on the Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway when departing from Hangzhou.
Restaurants: There are restaurants in the park, including self-service barbecue, but not many other restaurants. There is one called Fish Soup Rice. Deqing Xiazhu Lake Wetland Park

You can come back here, but it's really sparsely populated, yet beautiful
Because I dislike the hustle and bustle, I've always been on the road traveling
Looking for and sharing some niche and quiet places with beautiful scenery
I've been to Deqing in Huzhou many times, but this is my first visit to Xiazhuhu
As soon as I entered the scenic area, I was attracted by the wetland scenery here
Regretting that I only discovered this little-known treasure near Hangzhou now

It's totally the backyard garden of Hangzhou and Shanghai‼️
Board a boat to enter, stroll through the sea of flowers,
Enjoy flower viewing and bird watching, then take a ride on a sculling boat and have a three-course tea.
The day passes without feeling the passage of time, extremely comfortable👍

Now is the season when the late cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
Walking through the sea of flowers, enjoying the romance of the flowers,
You can also take a round-island train through the sea of flowers,
Experiencing spring up close😏😏
In mid-April, there will also be a sea of iris flowers,

The best viewing spot for egrets and other birds‼️

BlissfulRetreats
The treasure wetland park around Hangzhou that you'll never tire of, even after a hundred visits!
Spring is the time to stroll in the park
Gliding on the lake, wandering among the flowers
Hangzhou is just 0.5h away, I found the perfect wetland park for spring outings in Deqing, where the water is clear, wild birds flock, reeds sway, aquatic plants are abundant, and wisteria is about to bloom! By Labor Day, the iris flower sea will be in full bloom, which will be incredibly dreamy!
You can take a boat tour or walk by the lake, watching crested ibises and egrets chase each other in the sky, a true joy for photographers, so bring your telephoto lens!!! The wetland park is very spacious, so it won't be crowded😌, and there's also the Gravity Park and the Cute Pet Park that kids love! Don't miss the train ride on the island!
I recommend taking Route B in April👇
Visitor Center→Boat Dock→Happy Island→Bird Island→Reed Island→Visitor Center→Return trip (Travel between the three islands by boat, taking three boat rides, without retracing your steps)
First take a boat to Happy Island, then walk to Bird Island (where many birds🐦 can be seen), get up close with crested ibises, visit the animal science museum, then board the boat at Bird Island dock, enter the poetic Reed Island, where you can experience rowing boats and the Three Courses of Tea🍵. Enjoy the tea while basking in the spring breeze, a worker's weekend should be wasted in such places!

Winter comes
On the lakeside, trees lose their prosperity, and reeds shine in the sun. I love the egrets flying gracefully, a flat boat, slowly heading to the distance.

Xiahu Lake is located in the southeast of Deqing County, Zhejiang Province. The name of Penghu is quite different. It is called Fengshis residence, so it is called Fenghu Lake or Fenghu Lake. It is also called Mute because it is homophonic with Mute. In addition, there are also Jiuli Lake and Wuhu. Xiahu Lake is a typical natural lake wetland with a diverse landscape, and one of the most intact natural wetlands in its original state. The magic of the largest natural wet underground lagoon in the south of the Yangtze River lies in the lake surface or in the openness of the lake, the water and the sky; or the narrowness of the port, the winding roads, the sand dunes of the islands all over the lake, and more than 600 hidden island piers. . There are piers in the lake and lakes in the pier; there are shackles in the port and shackles in the harbor. Winding around is like walking in a huge water maze. Here the harbors are staggered, the reeds are in pieces, the rivers are clear, and the wild ducks are in a group, basically maintaining their original state.

The feng shui is sorrowful and sorrowful. The far-sightedness is the connection of water and sky. The blue sky is filled with cotton-like clouds, and the lake is as wide or narrow as Hong Kong. Only the cruise ship swayed on the lake, adding a lot of artistic beauty to the painting.
The large reeds of the reeds have extremely twisty pavilions. The falling clouds and the lonely hustle and bustle fly together, and the autumn water is always the same, but it is no different. On this day, the sky is high and the lightness of the hurricane is a kind of feeling of returning to the true nature. It is true that it is a half-day leisure.
