At this time, the lake shimmers, spring flowers bloom on the islands, the fragrance of plum blossoms drifts from Meifeng Island, the macaques on Monkey Island become more active, and everywhere is brimming with life and vitality, waiting to be explored and enjoyed✨. 🔵Itinerary D1: Qiandao Lake Town - Central Lake District - Greentown Qiandao Lake Resort (Overnight) Arrive at Qiandao Lake Town in the morning, take a short rest, and then head to the Central Lake District for a boat tour.
