As someone who has been to Qiandao Lake N times, I can't stand it anymore
As a seasoned visitor who has explored Qiandao Lake multiple times, I just can't help but share my experiences!
Seeing various travel guides for Qiandao Lake online, I really feel some are unreliable. Taking advantage of the season when spring is warm and flowers are blooming, I made another trip to Qiandao Lake, and this time I had an even more thorough experience. I've summarized a few must-visit spots for everyone's reference!
1️⃣ Central Lake District/Southeast Lake District of Qiandao Lake
There are thousands of islands within Qiandao Lake, and the Central and Southeast Lake Districts have eight islands where you can land and play, with a tour time of about 7 hours. If you have plenty of time, I suggest visiting both lake districts; if you're short on time, you can choose one to focus on. I personally recommend the Southeast Lake District!
📍 Southeast Lake District (Guihua Island, Tianchi Island, Huangshanjian)
📍 Central Lake District (Meifeng Island, Yule Island, Moonlight Island, Longshan Island)
It's recommended to purchase boat tickets in advance (💰55/person, add 💰33 to upgrade to the second floor). The daily flight times are 8:00, 9:30, 12:00, and yachts are more expensive, not recommended.
✔️ Guihua Island: There are many monkeys on the island, be careful as they may snatch things, it's best not to bring food to avoid being scratched! You can buy feed to feed them (💰10/pack).
✔️ Tianchi Island: The island is large, mainly to see fish and parrots, there are also performances to watch, and you can feed them.
✔️ Huangshanjian: It takes about 10 minutes to walk, or you can take the cable car up (💰50/person), where you can see the shape of Qiandao Lake forming the words 'The world is for the public'.
2️⃣ Qiandao Lake Tianyu Mountain Scenic Area
📍Navigate to 'Tianyu Mountain Viewing Platform', drive a few hundred meters forward from the parking lot 🅿️ (💰5/hour), and you can go directly up the mountain.
This is the best spot to watch the sunset over Qiandao Lake. You can walk the whole way up and down the mountain, or choose the uphill elevator (💰25/person), and the downhill bus (💰10/person).
The whole trip takes about an hour and a half, with three viewing platforms. The first platform has an average view, but the second and third are definitely worth seeing. When the weather is clear, every shot is a beautiful photo!
3️⃣ Qiandao Lake Cycling Trail
Cycling around the lake is so comfortable! The scenery along the way is beautiful, and you can occasionally see motorcycle teams speeding by!
The lake circuit (see picture 10) is over 100 kilometers in total. I chose the 5️⃣-9️⃣ Chunyang line, about 60 kilometers of the 'Golden Cycling Line'.
【Qiandao Lake Square —— Qiandao Lake Bridge —— Qianfen Line —— Jieshou Township —— Jiangjia Town —— Fenkou Town —— Fengshuling Town —— Dashu Town —— Anyang Township —— Shangjiangbu Bridge —— Qiandao Lake Tourist Wharf —— Qiandao Lake Square】
✔️ Little Kamakura of Qiandao Lake
When heading to the railway crossing, you will pass by Nongfu Spring, and it's quite nice to stop and take photos if you're driving by yourself~ The train railway has a bit of a Little Kamakura feel!
✔️ Beer Town Lighthouse
I just took a photo and left, if you're short on time, this spot can be skipped.
I hope these suggestions are helpful to everyone, hurry up and save them!
It belongs to a leisure tour. Go up and take the net red elevator and reach the observation deck to overlook the beautiful scenery. There are many ways to go down. You can take water slides, hikes or buses. We bring the dog, so we choose to hike. About 4 kilometers, not too tired, walked for more than 40 minutes. There is a place to rest in the middle.
Tianyu Mountain Scenic Area has escalators to go up the mountain. The scenery of the two viewing platforms is quite good. Climbing to the highest viewing platform has a feeling of refreshing and suddenly cheerful. If the weather is good, it is the best place to watch the sunset. You can walk down the mountain or take a scenic bus for 10 yuan per person. the Magician
The elevator and water slide are worth the money. You must go to this mountaintop when you come to Qiandao Lake. This is the most beautiful scenery of Qiandao Lake. The water slide is not only long, but also invincible. There is no second place. 1.2 It’s free, it’s great.
No legs are needed to go up the mountain, and the elevator is directly there. It can be reached directly by going up the escalator, which is convenient for the elderly and children. A good place to watch the sunset. No legs are needed to go down the mountain, glass water slides. Children must like it, put on free disposable raincoats, and slide down the mountain directly on a hovercraft, so you don't have to worry about getting wet. This slide may not be very friendly to the elderly, and it will bend to more impact. Kayaking is a gift item that needs to go to the Hilton Hotel to play.
Sitting directly to the elevator and enjoying the beautiful scenery is worth coming.
It feels good. Go up the elevator, go down the water slide, the price is very high, it is not hard to work, it is very exciting to come down, the viewing platform is very good, you can also see the bridge and hot air balloon, the scenery is good, the fog is more beautiful at night.
