Hangzhou Winter Outing Guide | Thousand Island Lake One-Day Tour

Thousand Island Lake Scenic Area, as the oldest resort in Zhejiang, has many different ways to play, and tourists of all ages and travel purposes can find suitable ways to play here. Here is a summary of a classic Thousand Island Lake one-day tour guide for your reference. All photos are directly from the phone. First, classic boat sightseeing: The boat sightseeing of Thousand Island Lake is divided into two routes: the central lake area and the southeast lake area. The central lake area has more tourists and better self-funded entertainment projects on the island; the southeast lake area is relatively quieter and has better natural scenery. There used to be three routes in the southeast lake area, but when I went there were only two, which were 9:30-10:30 in the morning (Guihua Island, Tianchi Island and Huangshan Tip, about 6 hours in actual measurement), and 12:00-13:00 at noon (Tianchi Island and Huangshan Tip, about 4 hours). The place where the story of the three monks had no water to drink, Mingshan Island, is now closed. The central lake area should still retain three routes, which are 8:00-9:50 (Meifeng Island, Yule Island and Longshan Island, about 6 hours), 10:00-11:50 (Meifeng Island, Yule Island and Moonlight Island, about 6 hours), 12:00-13:00 (Meifeng Island and Moonlight Island, about 4 hours). Many people do not understand this time interval very well. To give an example, the meaning of 9:30-10:30 in the southeast lake area is that starting from 9:30, as long as a boat is full, it can set sail. The ticket sales time will end at 10:30, and the last boat will leave at 10:40 regardless of the number of people. Each boat is equipped with a tour guide who will explain some stories and island notices. Second, watch the sunset In winter, basically the boat sightseeing is close to sunset time when you come back, and there may be some time to buy coffee. There are many places to watch the sunset in Thousand Island Lake. The most popular sunset viewing spot in the city is Tianyu Mountain, with a ticket price of 50 yuan, an uphill escalator of 25 yuan, and a downhill bus of 10 yuan. In addition, there used to be a small road for hiking up the mountain, but now it has been changed to an escalator and is not allowed to walk (except for locals). If you want to walk, you can only walk on the road. I personally recommend the sunset viewing spot is the Fangfei Hidden Pearl Park on the lakeside of the road opposite the gate of Tianyu Mountain. Not many people know about this place, and there is no need to grab a spot. You can also sit on the steps and slowly watch the sun set in the lake. The angle of the sunset is not inferior to Tianyu Mountain. The most important thing is that it is free. Third, have a big meal Almost every street and street in Thousand Island Lake is eating fish heads, and fish heads have become the unique signature food of Thousand Island Lake. You can consider the old brand, many stars have also come to this card, some dishes are actually very distinctive. But to be honest, eating fish heads in Thousand Island Lake is just a sense of ceremony, it is not necessary to eat, especially as a Jiangsu and Zhejiang person, thick soup fish heads are almost in every city, and there is no obsession. Fourth, stroll the night market and drink coffee Going to a new city to check in to a characteristic coffee shop has almost become a MUST, and I recommend the Top Coffee in Qilong Night Market. In addition to a bit of Hong Kong and Chongqing mountain city feeling, Qilong Night Market is actually very short, a bit desolate, and there is nothing impressive, except for this coffee shop. The recommendation does not need to explain the reason, you will know when you go, you will not be disappointed. JUST A PERFECT DAY. Of course, everyone's travel points are different. Thousand Island Lake also has popular photo spots such as the lakeside lighthouse, beer town, and Fuwen Township Central Primary School, as well as more challenging ways to play such as cycling around the lake, mountain hiking, and underwater ancient city exploration. For reference only.

Lake, reservoir or tourist attraction?

If you’ve been in China, you probably bought that bottle of water with a red cap available pretty much everywhere! But I bet you never wondered about its source right!? Well, Thousand Island Lake, 千岛湖 is the source of the Nongfu Spring Water! Apparently, the lake also supplies water to neighbouring cities like Hangzhou. It owes its birth to a failed reservoir project that resulted into a big lake with sprawling islands. Consequently, tourism was developed and led to the growing presence of hotels and water activities around the lake. Boats cruising the lake offer visits to two or three islands. We chose to take the speed boats as they are available at any time and also take you to three islands. The tour costs 295¥ per person. There’s a cheaper option, but it’s only available on scheduled hours. To have a view of the islands, the view point at the top is accessible by cable car or by walk. As it was hot and humid, we chose the comfort of sitting in a cable car at an extra cost of 50¥ per person. We were told that walking all the way up takes about 30 mins. There’s also a small shop for snacks and refreshments. Nothing to boast about for the second island which felt rather plain. We walked around for a waterfall and a fish pond. On the Monkey island, you can buy fruits in a bowl to feed the monkeys. How to go - 🚗 A local friend drove us there. It was about a two hour drive away from Hangzhou. OR 🚆 Take a train to Qiandao Hu Railway station 千岛湖站, then 🚕 to the wharf. #lakeview#staycation#laketour#summervacation#boattour#travelstories#zhejiang#weekendgetaway

Thousand Happy Memories

Qiandao Lake is an amazing weekend adventure suitable for couples or families. While we were there we did a bunch of activities from kayaking to swimming and they even have hot air balloon rides. But we weren’t brave enough to rent one out. ⛴ The lake is quite big with small little islands and enclaves scattered arriving. making it look more like the coast of Bali than a lake inside China. The hotel we stayed at had a infinity pool overlooking the lake to get best of both worlds. the view of the lake and the comfort of a heated swimming pool 😊 All in all, I would definitely reccomend this lake and the beaches around it for a stroll and a picnic. There are boats that can take you around the whole lake to see more of it. A must see when in China 🙂 #christmasgiveaway #beach #lakes

City of lakes

When I first heard the name of the city, I didn't realize that they actually mean it. Thousand island lakes (千岛湖) is a manmade waterways that had split the city into thousand islands 🏝️ (although I didn't individually count though 😜). Our first day, was almost washed out because of heavy rain while on second day mother Nature was mercy on us and we biked our way to this hiking 🥾 point. It is actually an observatory on the top of the mountain from where you can see the lake & mountains. Sunset 🌄 is the best time to be there. It took nearly an hour to reach to the top, there are some shops on the way too where you can buy stuffs. The difficulty is easy and anyone can do this !! Next time definitely try this out folks 🤗 #thousandisland #zhejiang #summervacation#hikingtrails

The thousand islands under the aerial photography, 1078 islands, dotted with beautiful scenery of the water and the sky, like a world of wonderland, also photographed a heart of the island

Meifeng Island is the highest island in Qiandao Lake. There is a sightseeing platform on the top of the mountain. It is the best viewing place in Qiandao Lake. The tickets for Qiandao Lake have been photographed here, so this is also a place where tourists must punch cards. You can choose to take the cable car or climb on the top of the mountain. On foot, it takes about 15-20 minutes, so most of them choose to go up the mountain. It feels good to stand on the top of the mountain. The last time I stood here, I took a lot of photos. This time I took the drone. You can fly higher to bird's eye view of the entire island of Thousand Island Lake. The islands of big and small are very beautiful on the water, and they can't help but sigh the wonders of nature. The waters of Qiandao Lake are clear and green. Nowadays, the water quality of the scenic spots in many places is very poor. It is rare to have such clean water, and it is still such a large lake area. There is a wonderful stage performance on the Snake Island with a cafeteria. All tourists should be settled here for lunch. Lunch is self-help, with 35 yuan and 55 yuan. The performance of Snake Island did not come to see for the first time. This time I went to look at it. It was roughly some water performances, acrobatic performances and some song and dance performances from Thailand. The performance is circular, and you can go out and play other games when you see repeated performances. Longshan Island is not far from the cruise ship terminal. The island is large in size, but there are not many places for tourists to watch. The island's pier can be seen with a clean "Lian" character. This island is about the Ming Dynasty Qingguan Hairui.

In Qiandao Lake, there is a particularly famous dish called Qiandao Lake Fish Head Soup. This fish head soup is made with fresh fish heads from Qiandao Lake.

This trip to Qiandao Lake was so worth it! The Earth Art Museum was a great place to take photos.

Just finished a trip to Huangshan Jiao in Qiandao Lake, it was so worth it! Not only did I enjoy the beautiful scenery and music, but I also took some great photos for my WeChat Moments! 😍Qiandao Lake is known as the "most beautiful water in the world". After arriving at Huangshan Jiao, I was even more impressed by the beautiful scenery. When I climbed up to the viewing platform, the lake was as green as jade and the scenery was picturesque. This natural beauty is the perfect backdrop for photos! 💚This time I happened to catch the #Listen to the Mountains and Rivers concert. The scroll of "The World is for the Public" slowly unfolded, the clear lake and the scattered islands showed another magnificent side of Qiandao Lake. The concert was held in this environment, and every note echoed in the lake and mountains. There was also a photo spot at the event, which was a great place to take photos. Music + beautiful scenery, it's the perfect place for photography enthusiasts to take photos. I hope all scenic spots will follow this configuration!! Keep up

Visiting Qiandao Lake, you must come to the island at least once in your life!

This time, we went to the Southeast Lake District, following online guides to Huangshan Peak. Upon reaching Huangshan Peak, if you don't want to walk to the viewing platform, there's also a cable car for a quick ascent, allowing you to enjoy the scenery effortlessly. After docking at the pier, we encountered a symphony performance event. While others had random encounters, this time it was finally my turn. After going up, a scroll painting of 'The World Belongs to the People' slowly unfolded. The clear lake water and the scattered islands showcased another kind of magnificence of Qiandao Lake. This scenery made the visit to the island worthwhile! 🎤 What I didn't expect was how lively it was after coming up. There was a flash mob event called Song, A World Listening to the Symphony of Mountains and Waters.🏞️ A group of people were singing the song 'My Motherland and I', standing on the viewing platform and singing with strangers, overlooking the world belonging to the people. The motherland is flourishing, the youth are in their prime, and people are expressing their love for the world in their own ways. The scene was quite lively, and the musical atmosphere was strong.👍 Visiting the island to experience 'The World Belongs to the People' was really worthwhile. The natural wonders are worth experiencing in person. 👣 Indeed, some journeys can only be truly felt by walking them yourself. Only on the road can we truly feel the differences in the world.

Qiandao Lake!! Can't sleep because I'm so satisfied with the hotel I booked

Traveling around Hangzhou with family, we came to Qiandao Lake and randomly stayed at a hotel. It cost 200 per person and turned out to be amazing!

Avoid visiting Qiandao Lake from August to September, you'll regret it if you go

Last month, I took a trip to Qiandao Lake, and after reviewing it, I found unexpected pitfalls at every attraction. Although spontaneous trips are cool, I sincerely advise against going to Qiandao Lake without proper planning! Not to mention the many pitfalls, spending thousands of yuan in just a few days is quite painful. Actually, as long as you plan well. Today, I'll summarize some tips and precautions to help those planning to visit Qiandao Lake avoid detours. Having visited many places, Qiandao Lake is truly a natural oxygen bar city that you won't want to leave once you visit! 🚗Transportation: You can either drive yourself or take a taxi. 1️⃣ Take the high-speed train to Hangzhou West Station, then take a taxi to Hangzhou South Station to transfer to a high-speed train to Qiandao Lake Station. You can also take a train directly to Qiandao Lake Station, then take a taxi from the high-speed train station to your destination. However, I still recommend taking the train to Hangzhou West Station and then transferring to a high-speed train. It's also very convenient to take a taxi from Hangzhou West Station. 2️⃣ Book your hotel online (remember to book one day in advance). The hotel is easy to find, very close to the scenic area, and very convenient. You can see the entire lake from the hotel room, and you can also see the fish farms. Watching the stars from the balcony at night is also a very romantic experience. 3️⃣ At night, you can go to Meifeng Island to see the night view, where you can also see the lake and the lighthouse. I feel that the night view on Meifeng Island is much better than the night view of Qiandao City. 4️⃣ The next morning, you can visit the nearby Longchuan Bay Scenic Area (which has a large wetland park) and Dream Beach🏖️. It's especially suitable for weekend leisure and entertainment! If the weather is good, you can see the full view of Qiandao Lake. It's very beautiful. 5️⃣ I recommend staying on Meifeng Island, which is near the Longchuan Bay Scenic Area! It's really beautiful~ You can also watch the stars at night~ If you want to see the sunset, this is also an excellent place~ You can stay here at night, it's really great!
