Shendu and Longchuan

This is my third visit to Shendu, coming all the way from the Anhui-Zhejiang Sky Road. The rapeseed flowers have started to wither and seed, so when I arrived at Shendu, I only saw sporadic rapeseed flowers. The ferry terminal was filled with cruise ships, which are the ones that go back and forth to Qiandao Lake on the same day. Unable to take pictures at the ferry terminal, I chose to stay at the Wufu Homestay across the bridge, which is perfectly located opposite the big island, and the view is quite nice even without going up to the viewing platform. After breakfast, I headed to Qiandao Lake via Longchuan. Across from Longchuan town, there is a small hill right at the bend of the river. The peach blossoms on the hill are in full bloom against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, forming a picturesque scene, very pleasing to the eye. In the past, climbing the hill was free, but now there is an old woman from a homestay collecting a fee for climbing the hill. Sigh
