After going n times, I finally got the hang of Qiandao Lake
Qiandao Lake, having been there n times, the first place I think of when summer comes is Qiandao Lake.
It's really a great destination for a getaway around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai!
The main attraction is the laid-back, Buddhist-style tour~ leisurely spending a weekend!
I have to say, Qiandao Lake is really suitable for finding a high cost-effective lakeside room to relax on vacation. This time, we all agreed that staying at Liwo was especially joyful!
The rooms are big, and the decor is Nordic minimalist style😸. Mainly, besides the comfortable living environment, there are several terraces with lake views🏕. Eating, chatting, and enjoying the lake view is just too comfortable!!!
What's even more amazing is that there is a small garden behind the building we stayed in, 🪵 brick walls, 🍀 dense grapevines, 🌤 sunlight shimmering through the grapevines, 🌊 the distant blue lake surface, it's too beautiful!🥺
🅿️Transportation:
🚄High-speed rail can reach Qiandao Lake Station in 50 minutes, transfer to the scenic shuttle bus or public transport to the corresponding scenic area
🚃Buses can reach Qiandao Lake Bus Terminal
🚘Self-driving is even more recommended, as it's more convenient to visit various attractions

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.
