Qiandao Lake, a place that makes you linger.

Recently, Alice's family took their friends to Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou. Qiandao Lake is located in Chun 'an County, the western suburb of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, with Hangzhou 129 km in the east and Huangshan 140 km in the west. It is the lake with the largest number of islands in the world, and it is named after having 1078 emerald islands. Qiandao Lake is the second national 5A-level tourist attraction in Hangzhou after the West Lake.

? The origin of Qiandao Lake

Alice went to Qiandao Lake five years ago and was deeply attracted by this scenic spot from the beginning. She saw pictures of Qiandao Lake taken by a group of underwater photographers in chinese national geography magazine and learned the story behind Qiandao Lake.

It turns out that Qiandao Lake is a scenic spot formed by building a hydropower station to store water more than 50 years ago. Historically, Chun 'an has the reputation of "Qianfeng County", which vividly depicts the mountainous terrain characteristics of Chun 'an. At that time, the reservoir was filled with water, and the two thousand-year-old cities of Lion City and he cheng, together with 27 towns, 65,438+10,000 villages, 300,000 mu of fertile land and thousands of houses, sank to the bottom of Qiandao Lake.

The completion of Xin 'anjiang Reservoir has created Qiandao Lake, a tourist and leisure resort that receives more than 5 million tourists every year, but it has also buried the historical relics of Chun 'an under the water. People who have been to Qiandao Lake are often attracted by the scenery on the water. But I don't know that there are two thousand-year-old cities that have been sleeping for more than 50 years in Qiandao Lake.

These two ancient cities have the reputation of "Atlantis of the East". They are well-preserved and magnificent underwater, and seem to have the royal demeanor of ancient China.

The scene in the photo is amazing. Some friends who have read Tomb Raiding Notes say that this is almost the mysterious Gu Lou described in the novel. In the photo, the patterns carved on the Ming and Qing archways are still clearly visible. The arched building is magnificent, and the dragon-shaped brick carving is magnificent. This historical background also gives the landscape of Qiandao Lake a mysterious color, which has aroused my curiosity and desire to find out.

To visit Qiandao Lake, you need to go to the island by boat. At three o'clock in the afternoon, at this time, the big ship has not left the ship. We three adults and three children can't meet the requirement that the speedboat can only leave with six adults. Fortunately, however, we met another family of three tourists from Nanjing, and we just met the requirements.

Attraction tickets for adults 150 yuan+1 10 yuan speedboat tickets, ***260 yuan per person. /kloc-children over 0/.2 meters are half-price tickets. My friend's three children and I are all free under 1.2 meters. We plan to visit Longshan Island and Moonlight Island in the middle of the lake and return on the same day.

Five years ago, when I was single, I took a one-day trip to Qiandao Lake, also by speedboat. I went to six islands: Longshan Island, Moonlight Island, Mei Feng, Snake Island, Monkey Island (monkeys and amusement facilities on the island were all moved to osmanthus island on 20 15) and Peacock Island. There is still a big difference in the schedule between traveling with children and traveling alone!

Blue sky, white clouds and blue lakes are pleasing to the eye and refreshing! The children were all excited when they boarded the speedboat. The eldest son especially likes to watch speedboats fly by and splash.

Longshan island

You must go to Qiandao Lake and Longshan Scenic Area. Longshan Island is a symbolic cultural attraction of Qiandao Lake tourism. The island looks like a black dragon playing in the water, hence its name. Longshan was a scenic spot in western Zhejiang in ancient times, with an altitude of 208 meters. There are many scenic spots on the island, such as Hairui Temple, Shixia Academy, half acre square pool and bell tower. We mainly visited the Bell Tower and Longshan. Because there were children traveling together, we chose an electric tour bus instead of walking after landing. One in 20 yuan.

On the tour bus, the scenery along the way is beautiful, as beautiful as oil painting!

This bee showroom is too simple to show. I will explain two or three bee models and a bunch of pictures on the wall. I really don't recommend you to visit.

Coming out of the bee exhibition hall, the scooter took us to the foot of Longshan. In retrospect, my overall impression of Longshan Island is "climbing the mountain". The youngest son was very interested in playing, sitting on his father's shoulder and looking around curiously.

Endless white clouds and charming islands.

I came to the famous Hairui Temple, but the door was closed and closed to tourists today.

The G20 summit will be held in Hangzhou next month, and slogans can be seen everywhere.

Moonlight Island is one of the most poetic, romantic and unique scenic spots in the center of Qiandao Lake. The five islands embrace each other and are composed of Love Garden, Yiyuan Garden, Department Garden, Heart Garden and Dream Garden. The whole Moonlight Island is a must-see attraction in Qiandao Lake, with love as the main line and scenery as the backing. Couples must go to Moonlight Island!

After swimming in Longshan Island, I came to Moonlight Island. It is already five o'clock in the afternoon.

The eldest son is still at the forefront.

Unlike the "climbing" of Longshan Island, Moonlight Island still has a long way to go.

Walking on the "Champion Bridge", this is a steel cable bridge connecting Dream Garden and Heart Garden. The oncoming mother-in-law charged ten yuan to cross the bridge, so we took the road under the bridge instead.

There are cableways for tourists to slide between the two islands, including 50 yuan. Tourists fly around like heroes, and my eldest son wants to play. I advised him to play when he grew up! You are too young.

The sun shines on the lake, sparkling. I thought to myself: there are still fishermen here. If my dad comes, he will love it here!

Innocent blue! This is G20 blue!

Once again, I stepped onto the Champion Bridge. The mother-in-law who collected the tickets has already called it a day. When the children jump, the bridge will shake a little. There is a folk saying in Chun 'an that "I am the top student in high school when I walk on the top student bridge". If there are children taking exams at home, you must take a walk on the Champion Bridge.

Sunset, infinitely beautiful, only near dusk. Qiandao Lake in the sunset is quiet and beautiful.

Silk Street

When I left the dock in the middle of the lake and went ashore, it was already seven o'clock at night. There is a long leisure shopping food street near the pier, called Xiushui Street. You can order tickets for the large-scale humanistic drama performance of "Thousand Island Lake Water Spirit" here, which many tourists say is worth seeing.

Folk sculptures in the streets.

Qiandaohu fish head

When you come to Qiandao Lake, you must eat the famous Qiandao Lake fish head! This is the braised fish head of Qiandao Lake for lunch, which is delicious and mouth-watering.

Add tofu and wash with celery. This fish smells delicious. Take a bite, and the fish pieces are tender and delicious. It's so fresh, people can't help eating it. The fish head of Qiandao Lake really deserves its reputation!

The high-quality water source of Qiandao Lake is not only "Nongfu Spring" as cool as Ganquan, but also "Qiandao Lake Beer". Eating delicious food and drinking wine, our trip to Qiandao Lake ended perfectly.

Based on my experience of visiting Qiandao Lake twice, I will recommend the following tours:

1, one-day tour of Qiandao Lake

Day 1: Arrive at Qiandao Lake in the morning, visit the center or southeast lake, have dinner on the island at noon, visit Xiushui Street and return in the afternoon.

2. Two-day tour of Qiandao Lake

Day 1: Arrive at Qiandao Lake at noon and take part in rafting after dinner. There are many drifting projects in Qiandao Lake, which are gentle, comfortable and exciting. You can choose according to the actual situation and watch water sprite's performance in the evening.

The next day: After breakfast, visit the central lake (Mei Feng, Longshan Island, Moonlight Island) or the southeast lake (Huangshanjian, Tianchi) and return in the afternoon.

3. Three-day tour of Qiandao Lake

Day 1: Arrive in the morning, ride the greenway around the lake and the landscape ribbon in the afternoon, and the whole family can exercise together! You can experience the night tour of Qiandao Lake at night.

The next day: visit the middle of the lake or the southeast lake in the morning, drift in the afternoon, and watch the water of Qiandao Lake in the evening.

Day 3: Visit Longchuan Bay Scenic Area and Qinchuan Ancient Dwellings in the morning and return in the afternoon.

Qiandao Lake belongs to Hangzhou area, and Hangzhou is its main gateway. Qiandao Lake has no airport and railway station, so the most convenient way of transportation is to take a bus from Hangzhou to Qiandao Lake. If the journey is long, you can only fly or train to Hangzhou or Shanghai and then transfer. There are also direct buses from Qiandao Lake in Shanghai, Nanjing and Huangshan, but the frequency is not as frequent as that in Hangzhou.

Tourism in Qiandao Lake Scenic Area is mainly based on cruise ships and speedboats, connecting the islands of Qiandao Lake. Of course, the city still needs buses and taxis.

If you drive to Qiandao Lake, Hangzhou will leave for Qiandao Lake: take the Hangzhou-Xinjing Expressway → Qiandao Lake, which takes about two hours by car. Shanghai or Nanjing to Qiandao Lake: about five hours' drive.

Dear friends, go to Qiandao Lake once! There are good mountains, good water and good scenery here, and it is a place that makes people linger. ...
