The green mountains and waters of Qiandao Lake will heal you

✨ The central lake area of Qiandao Lake is really too beautiful 😲! The scenery here is picturesque, with 1078 emerald islands, and the reflection of the distant mountains in the lake is like a painting 🎨. Taking a boat tour is the best choice, with white waves splashing on the green waves when sailing, which is super romantic 💕. It is also an excellent place to climb high and enjoy the view, with deep and varied lake bays and colorful scenery 🌈. 🎫 Ticket: Book online in advance for convenience and speed. The central lake area package ticket + boat ticket is 185 for adults, and an additional 33 yuan is required for the second floor of the boat, but it's much better for taking photos than the first floor 🤩. 🚗 Transportation: After arriving at Qiandao Lake, you can choose to drive yourself, take a bus, or take a taxi to the central lake area tourist pier 🚕. ✨ The cruise ships depart at 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 o'clock, but the routes and stopover islands are different. You can choose according to your needs and time ✨ You must stick to the same ship for the whole journey. When arriving at each island, the ship will stop for about an hour and a half, listen to the announcements on the ship for specifics 📢 🏔️ Meifeng Island: The highest island in the central lake area, where you can overlook the entire scenery of Qiandao Lake 🤩. Take the cable car directly to the top of the mountain (60 yuan/person charge), which is not recommended due to low cost-effectiveness. The whole cable car ride takes only 1-2 minutes, and it takes about 15 minutes to hike up the mountain, where you can also enjoy the scenery along the way 🌳. The view from the top is excellent, and the viewing platform is a great place for taking photos 📷. 🍽️ Yule Island: The only place in the central lake area where you can eat, offering buffets (45 and 60 yuan/person), which are just average in taste 😐. There is a noodle shop behind it that is better, with fish slice noodles and wontons averaging 35-40 yuan per person, but it is really not recommended to dine on the island. It is best to bring your own food. The island is full of entertainment programs, such as ziplining, speedboats, performances, etc. 🚤. 🏛️ Longshan Island: A cultural island with attractions such as Haigong Temple, where you can learn about history and culture 📚. Visitors can choose to take the magic carpet up the mountain (scenic transport + magic carpet 50 yuan/person charge), but walking there 🚶‍♂️ is not recommended as it's too far. Generally, the boat only stays for an hour and a half, and walking is not feasible, which is actually a bit of a trap, as it forces you to spend 50, but there's no other way. 🌙 Moonlight Island: The island has attractions such as Scholar's Bridge, rowing boats, and feeding fish king, each of which requires a separate fee 💰. ⚠️ Precautions ✨ 🌦️ Pay attention to the weather: Take sun protection measures ☀️, and wear comfortable shoes for climbing. ⌛ Plan your time wisely: There are many attractions in the central lake area, so plan your itinerary in advance 🕙. Generally, it takes about 6-7 hours to play around 4 islands, 5-6 hours for 3 islands, and about 4 hours for 2 islands, depending on the route. 🍔 Pay attention to food hygiene: When tasting food, choose a regular restaurant to avoid food contamination and discomfort 🤢.
