Hangzhou + Qiandao Lake + Immersive Mountain and Water Getaway

Qiandao Lake, known as the backyard garden of Hangzhou, derives its name from its 1,078 emerald-green islands scattered like stars. The crystal-clear jade-like waters and distant misty mountains create a picturesque ink-wash scroll. Whether escaping the summer heat or enjoying cycling and camping, visitors can instantly leave the hustle and bustle behind, immersing themselves in the poetic charm of "a city embraced by mountains and half embraced by lakes." Travel Tips: - **Island Exploration**: Admire the "Most Beautiful Waters Under Heaven" from Meifeng Island’s vantage point, or enjoy a nighttime light show on Moonlight Island. Ticket including boat ride: approx. ¥150/person. - **Lakeside Cycling**: The 150-km greenway (especially the Chunyang section) offers stunning views of rapeseed flower fields and fishing villages. - **Local Delicacies**: Must-try Qiandao Lake fish head soup—creamy broth with fresh organic fish. Recommended spot: "Yuweiguan" (avg. ¥80/person). Hidden Gems: Paddle a kayak to uninhabited islets or stay at lakeside B&Bs (e.g., "Xipo Qiandao Lake") waking up to mist-draped waters. Transport Guide: - **Self-drive**: ~2 hours from Hangzhou via Hangqi Expressway. - **High-speed rail**: Take a shuttle bus from "Qiandao Lake Station" to the scenic area (30 mins). - **Pro tip**: Book boat tickets early during peak season; weekdays offer quieter experiences.
