Qingshan Lake

📍【Location Secret】—— Hangzhou Qingshan Lake, located in Lin'an District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, about 60 kilometers from the center of Hangzhou, is like an emerald set in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, away from the hustle and bustle, retaining a tranquility and purity that has not been completely unveiled. It is not only a paradise for nature lovers but also an ideal place for travelers seeking solace for their souls. 🏞️【Attraction Introduction】—— Qingshan Lake, true to its name, is surrounded by green hills, with clear lake water reflecting the changing colors of the mountains in all seasons, a sight too beautiful for words. Taking a flat boat on the lake, you feel as if you are traveling through an ink painting. Particularly noteworthy is the water forest in the lake, where stands of fir trees rise from the water, displaying different ecological wonders with the changing seasons. In spring and autumn, the colors are splendid and particularly enchanting. 🚗【Transportation Strategy】—— Departing from Hangzhou, self-driving is the most convenient way, take the Hangzhou-Hui Expressway to the Lin'an exit, and then follow the signs to get there. For public transportation, you can take the subway to Lin'an District and then transfer to a bus that goes directly to Qingshan Lake Scenic Area. Although it's a bit more complicated, the scenery along the way is also a great enjoyment. 🏠【Accommodation Recommendation】—— To deeply experience the serenity of Qingshan Lake, it is recommended to stay at the 'Qingshan Lake Resort Hotel' by the lake, where the rooms face the lake view. Waking up in the morning, the first rays of sunlight intertwine with the mist on the lake, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. Alternatively, choose the 'Forest Cabin' B&B to experience a pastoral life integrated with nature. At night, you can also hear the sounds of insects and frogs, offering a unique flavor.
