Is Qilong Lane in Qiandao Lake worth visiting?

The trip to Qiandao Lake was originally centered around the water, but Qilong Lane was a surprise. I went there with my child once and it was quite nice. Qilong Lane is a special cultural block located in Qiandao Lake Town, Chun'an County, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It attracts many people to check in with its unique mountain city style, historical heritage, and artistic atmosphere. _ 👉 What is Qilong Lane? Qilong Lane is located in the core area of the old city of Qiandao Lake Town, built on the mountain, and adjacent to Qiandao Lake Square. It was once the "urban memory" of the old city of Chun'an, and was named after the terrain that meanders like a dragon. It was once the most prosperous alley in the old Pailing (the old name of Qiandao Lake), carrying the life memories of several generations of local people. The Qilong Lane we see now is also a street that has been renovated in recent years, full of modern artistic atmosphere. 👉 What are the characteristics of the street? ✅️ First of all, it is the terraced mountain city style. Qilong Lane is connected by 122 steps to the upper and lower sections of the street, known as "Little Chongqing" or "Qiandao Lake Mountain City". The steps are painted with colorful graffiti, dotted with green plants, lanterns, retro signs, etc., full of fireworks and artistic sense. This is also one of the reasons for bringing children to check in. ✅️ Secondly, it is authentic food and snacks. To be honest, we didn't eat there, and it felt a little deserted, maybe because of the winter. Traditional snacks such as Anshang rice noodles, rice soup, and rice cakes can be tried. Of course, there are also fish heads from Qiandao Lake nearby. ✅️ Finally, it is the literary shops and handicraft experience. I saw a lot of cultural and creative markets, where there are handmade workshops, artisan studios, and some slow life spaces, such as bookstores. We went to one, but it was not open yet, so we just looked inside and left. _ 👉 Suggestions for playing experience First of all, it is recommended that you go in the evening and at night, when the lights are better and the atmosphere is stronger. Secondly, the alley is very small, so it is recommended to check in with the surrounding attractions, such as Beer Town, Southeast Lake District, and Central Lake District. _ 👉 To sum up: If you come to Qiandao Lake to play, and have time in the evening, you can come to Qilong Lane to eat and check in, and take some photos, which is quite good.
