Under the mysterious Qian Lake in Ningbo, there is a hidden Penglai Fairy Island

Under the mysterious Qian Lake in Ningbo, there is a hidden Penglai Fairy Island. Er Ling Mountain, located in the southeast of Dongqian Lake, facing Xiayu Mountain to the west and Yuebo Mountain to the north across the lake, is named for its 'mountain spirit and water spirit'. Once upon a time, there were three wonders on Er Ling Mountain: Er Ling Temple, Er Ling Pagoda, and Er Ling Mountain House. Er Ling Zen Temple, with the opening of Qian Lake's mystery and the connection of land routes in recent years, gradually emerged in everyone's eyes. The incense has been continuous for nearly a thousand years, until it was destroyed in the 1960s and began to be restored in the 1980s. - Er Ling Pagoda, according to the stone inscription, was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, nearly a thousand years ago. It is precisely the previous seclusion that allows the present scene to appear before us! When the sun sets, when the sunlight hits the Er Ling Pagoda, the shadow of the pagoda is reflected in the water, this is one of the ten scenes of Dongqian Lake, Er Ling Sunset. The pagoda is 9 meters high, with a seven-layer hollow structure on all sides! Travel guide: Navigation: Er Ling Zen Temple, located in the Qian Lake mystery, cannot be reached directly by car. 8 Transportation: You can enter the Qian Lake mystery by walking from Xiaoputuo or the underwater wetland, or take the scenic battery car to the Yuanrong Square after entering from Xiaoputuo. Distance: About 4 kilometers walk from Xiaoputuo, estimated tour: 2-3 hours. Er Ling Pagoda route: Enter from the right hand side facing the gate! Not in the temple

Hiking Through History and Nature

💗 Dongqian Lake near Ningbo boasts a collection of breathtaking hiking trails that are nothing short of incredible. One of the most popular trails is the Hengjie Trail, which takes hikers through bamboo forests, pine forests, and tea plantations. The trail is a six-hour hike through the tea hills, surrounded by nature and providing gorgeous views overlooking the lake. It's a good climb up, but the scenery makes it worth the effort. 🥾 The Hengjie Trail is steeped in history, with the surrounding areas being home to ancient villages that date back over a thousand years. The trails were once used by the villagers to transport tea, rice, and other goods to the nearby towns. Today, the trails are a popular spot for hikers and nature enthusiasts. 🚶‍♀️ Hikers need to be prepared for the weather, as it can get windy and chilly in the hills. It's important to pack warm clothes and a jacket, as well as plenty of snacks as there are no places to eat or stock up along the way. The signage along the trail is not the best, so hikers need to keep an eye out and be prepared to get lost in the woods for hours if they're not careful. ⛰️ 🍵 The Hengjie Trail is an incredible hiking experience that's not to be missed if you're visiting Dongqian Lake. The history, scenery, and challenging climb make it an unforgettable adventure for hikers of all skill levels. Just make sure to pack accordingly and be prepared for an amazing journey through the tea hills. #tripblazers

Discovering the Beauty of Dongqian Lake

This picturesque destination offers a wide range of activities for travelers to enjoy. Visitors can rent carts to drive around the lake, but be warned that they go very slow along the boardwalks, and it may not be worth the price tag. Instead, take advantage of the many delicious local restaurants that circle the lake - we indulged in the local cuisine. 🤩 The lake also boasts a beautiful small temple and many homestays for those looking for a more immersive experience.

summer by the lake

Dongqian Lake is in Yinzhou district of Ningbo. it’s fairly easy to get to, buses run from the main city area down to the lake throughout the day, Didi can be taken from various points of Ningbo, or Subway line 4 reaches Dongqian Lake but not in the central part of the lake. A Didi from Jiangbei Wanda takes around 1 hour and costs about 90RMB (traffic dependant). Once at the lake, take a walk down the scenic path towards the waterfall, this path currently has a lot of construction happening around it, which does ruin some photos. There is also a temple to visit down in the scenic area. After this, head into the main village of Dongqian Lake to see the old Ningbo life and visit 1 of the 2 coffee shops just on the lake front. If you’re feeling adventurous, hikes can completed around the area of Dongqian Lake or you could go and relax at the Hyatt hotel for Afternoon Tea Buffet. #staycation #lakes #summervacation #naturalwonders

Serene and eerie

Dongqian lake is easiest to explore by car. The lake area is a relaxing scenic area where lakeside activities can be done. However, there are also hidden gems along the lake area like small villages that remain untouched by many modern changes. The lake is located a short drive away from Ningbo ; around 45 mins away. The lake itself is very large and as such, it's really serene and feels very spacious. Along the lake, one can do many outdoor activities such as biking. It's a very scenic area and on foggy days, it's extremely serene, yet eerie, giving the area a very mysterious atmosphere. The lake area also includes several other hidden attractions, which is why a car will allow you to fully experience the area. For instance you'll pass by lovely tea growing farms. The true highlight is a small village that seems to be a walk back in time. The old streets and buildings make you feel like you're back in a simpler time. They make for great pictures, especially against a misty and foggy backdrop. Overall, Dongqian lake is a very lovely scenic area with more than just a lake. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a serene afternoon, as well as discovering old villages and tea plantations. Definitely make a side trip here if you have time! #explore #travel #nature #china

Dongqian Lake is only 15 kilometers away from Ningbo City, and there are more than 30 taxis. It will arrive in 20 minutes. If it is in a big city, it will still be blocked on the elevated road. Dongqian Lake is backed by Qingshan Mountain and north to the plain. It is the largest natural freshwater lake in Zhejiang Province, with an area of 3 times that of Hangzhou West Lake. Compared with West Lake, the scenery is more beautiful. Unfortunately, the rainy season is not beautiful in the rainy season, and it is pouring rain. Even so, the Dongqian Lake in the rain is smoky, like a fairyland.

Dongqian Lake is also a place where locals love to come to during autumn. The Yinxing Avenue of Dongqian Lake is in the west side of the Hanling area of the 71 provincial road Qianhu Water Park. It may be very crowded in October, especially like late autumn, in the season of maple leaves turning yellow. One of the favorite things to do is to step on the thick leaves and feel the sound of the leaves and texture on the feet. It is a special healing sound. The shoreline of Dongqian Lake is a good place for weekends. The heart of the lake is often alone in the oasis. It is a beautiful feeling.

Putuo Guanyin, there is one in Ningbo too.

🌈 Dongqian Lake is the largest natural lake in Zhejiang Province, known as: West Lake scenery, Taihu Lake grandeur. It is also the main water source for drinking and irrigation in Ningbo city. -🌈 Xiaoputuo is located in the center of the vast Dongqian Lake, where a 10-meter-high Dripping Guanyin stands in the water, holding an object in her hand, sprinkling cool and pure water to the people who seek her help. -🌈 Because water is pure, it can wash away all filth.

Dongqian Lake is a very good day trip! Doesnt matter where you start just follow the roads and you endup somewhere cool! This time i went to explore the village and stumbled upon a nunnery at the top of the village, find the big yellow building and go behind it, youll get on to an Amazing observation deck overseeing the lake on a good day ✌️ You can take taxi or a bus 901/907 to get to the main entrance, but better to start at the other side and walk through the village first in my opinion. Please make sure the walking path through the lake is pone as I went after the typhoon, so it was closed. Locals use the back hill if you dont want to use the main street, tourist dont go there much as its technically farm land. But if you are feeling adventerous find steps that go up and follow the path. Either trails are 👍 #trails #scenic #local #daytrip

Ningbo Dongqian Lake: A world of its own.

Dongqian Lake is located in the southeast of Ningbo City, surrounded by mountains. It was called "Qian Lake" in ancient times because it received water from Qian Dike. It was also called "Wanjin Lake" because of its abundant resources. It was called "West Lake" in the Tang Dynasty because the county seat was in Maoshan and the lake was to the west of the county seat. It was called "East Lake" in the Song Dynasty because the county seat was at the mouth of the Sanjiang River and the lake was to the east of the county seat. Dongqian Lake is a sea trace lake left over from the geological period. After generations of lake management, it is now 8.5 kilometers long from south to north and 4.5 kilometers wide from east to west. The lake is 45 kilometers in circumference and covers an area of 20 square kilometers. It is now the largest freshwater lake in Zhejiang.
