Thousand Island Lake Scenic Area, as the oldest resort in Zhejiang, has many different ways to play, and tourists of all ages and travel purposes can find suitable ways to play here. Here is a summary of a classic Thousand Island Lake one-day tour guide for your reference. All photos are directly from the phone. First, classic boat sightseeing: The boat sightseeing of Thousand Island Lake is divided into two routes: the central lake area and the southeast lake area. The central lake area has more tourists and better self-funded entertainment projects on the island; the southeast lake area is relatively quieter and has better natural scenery. There used to be three routes in the southeast lake area, but when I went there were only two, which were 9:30-10:30 in the morning (Guihua Island, Tianchi Island and Huangshan Tip, about 6 hours in actual measurement), and 12:00-13:00 at noon (Tianchi Island and Huangshan Tip, about 4 hours). The place where the story of the three monks had no water to drink, Mingshan Island, is now closed. The central lake area should still retain three routes, which are 8:00-9:50 (Meifeng Island, Yule Island and Longshan Island, about 6 hours), 10:00-11:50 (Meifeng Island, Yule Island and Moonlight Island, about 6 hours), 12:00-13:00 (Meifeng Island and Moonlight Island, about 4 hours). Many people do not understand this time interval very well. To give an example, the meaning of 9:30-10:30 in the southeast lake area is that starting from 9:30, as long as a boat is full, it can set sail. The ticket sales time will end at 10:30, and the last boat will leave at 10:40 regardless of the number of people. Each boat is equipped with a tour guide who will explain some stories and island notices. Second, watch the sunset In winter, basically the boat sightseeing is close to sunset time when you come back, and there may be some time to buy coffee. There are many places to watch the sunset in Thousand Island Lake. The most popular sunset viewing spot in the city is Tianyu Mountain, with a ticket price of 50 yuan, an uphill escalator of 25 yuan, and a downhill bus of 10 yuan. In addition, there used to be a small road for hiking up the mountain, but now it has been changed to an escalator and is not allowed to walk (except for locals). If you want to walk, you can only walk on the road. I personally recommend the sunset viewing spot is the Fangfei Hidden Pearl Park on the lakeside of the road opposite the gate of Tianyu Mountain. Not many people know about this place, and there is no need to grab a spot. You can also sit on the steps and slowly watch the sun set in the lake. The angle of the sunset is not inferior to Tianyu Mountain. The most important thing is that it is free. Third, have a big meal Almost every street and street in Thousand Island Lake is eating fish heads, and fish heads have become the unique signature food of Thousand Island Lake. You can consider the old brand, many stars have also come to this card, some dishes are actually very distinctive. But to be honest, eating fish heads in Thousand Island Lake is just a sense of ceremony, it is not necessary to eat, especially as a Jiangsu and Zhejiang person, thick soup fish heads are almost in every city, and there is no obsession. Fourth, stroll the night market and drink coffee Going to a new city to check in to a characteristic coffee shop has almost become a MUST, and I recommend the Top Coffee in Qilong Night Market. In addition to a bit of Hong Kong and Chongqing mountain city feeling, Qilong Night Market is actually very short, a bit desolate, and there is nothing impressive, except for this coffee shop. The recommendation does not need to explain the reason, you will know when you go, you will not be disappointed. JUST A PERFECT DAY. Of course, everyone's travel points are different. Thousand Island Lake also has popular photo spots such as the lakeside lighthouse, beer town, and Fuwen Township Central Primary School, as well as more challenging ways to play such as cycling around the lake, mountain hiking, and underwater ancient city exploration. For reference only.

If you feeling adventurous, there is some water sport activities that you can try out or if you are the avid hiker, you can use that opportunity to go up Tianmu ⛰ . The hike up the mountain 🏔 on a hot day was a really tough but enjoyable experience. The hot air balloon experience was a great one as the views again really were beautiful 😍. After the hot air balloon experience, we tried out some quad biking. It is definitely something you should try out on your next trip to the Thousand Islands🙌. #qiandao #thousandisland #thisischina #tianmumountain #urbanexplorer

If you’ve been in China, you probably bought that bottle of water with a red cap available pretty much everywhere! But I bet you never wondered about its source right!? Well, Thousand Island Lake, 千岛湖 is the source of the Nongfu Spring Water! Apparently, the lake also supplies water to neighbouring cities like Hangzhou. It owes its birth to a failed reservoir project that resulted into a big lake with sprawling islands. Consequently, tourism was developed and led to the growing presence of hotels and water activities around the lake. Boats cruising the lake offer visits to two or three islands. We chose to take the speed boats as they are available at any time and also take you to three islands. The tour costs 295¥ per person. There’s a cheaper option, but it’s only available on scheduled hours. To have a view of the islands, the view point at the top is accessible by cable car or by walk. As it was hot and humid, we chose the comfort of sitting in a cable car at an extra cost of 50¥ per person. We were told that walking all the way up takes about 30 mins. There’s also a small shop for snacks and refreshments. Nothing to boast about for the second island which felt rather plain. We walked around for a waterfall and a fish pond. On the Monkey island, you can buy fruits in a bowl to feed the monkeys. How to go - 🚗 A local friend drove us there. It was about a two hour drive away from Hangzhou. OR 🚆 Take a train to Qiandao Hu Railway station 千岛湖站, then 🚕 to the wharf. #lakeview#staycation#laketour#summervacation#boattour#travelstories#zhejiang#weekendgetaway

Qiandao Lake is an amazing weekend adventure suitable for couples or families. While we were there we did a bunch of activities from kayaking to swimming and they even have hot air balloon rides. But we weren’t brave enough to rent one out. ⛴ The lake is quite big with small little islands and enclaves scattered arriving. making it look more like the coast of Bali than a lake inside China. The hotel we stayed at had a infinity pool overlooking the lake to get best of both worlds. the view of the lake and the comfort of a heated swimming pool 😊 All in all, I would definitely reccomend this lake and the beaches around it for a stroll and a picnic. There are boats that can take you around the whole lake to see more of it. A must see when in China 🙂 #christmasgiveaway #beach #lakes

Getting There - by Didi Tianjire Qiqiu Club Attractions - hot air balloon, paragliding... Hotels - have it around in the area Food & Restaurants - Do not eat before your fun flights Shopping - Who cares about it #urbanexplorer

When I first heard the name of the city, I didn't realize that they actually mean it. Thousand island lakes (千岛湖) is a manmade waterways that had split the city into thousand islands 🏝️ (although I didn't individually count though 😜). Our first day, was almost washed out because of heavy rain while on second day mother Nature was mercy on us and we biked our way to this hiking 🥾 point. It is actually an observatory on the top of the mountain from where you can see the lake & mountains. Sunset 🌄 is the best time to be there. It took nearly an hour to reach to the top, there are some shops on the way too where you can buy stuffs. The difficulty is easy and anyone can do this !! Next time definitely try this out folks 🤗 #thousandisland #zhejiang #summervacation#hikingtrails

The thousand islands under the aerial photography, 1078 islands, dotted with beautiful scenery of the water and the sky, like a world of wonderland, also photographed a heart of the island

Meifeng Island is the highest island in Qiandao Lake. There is a sightseeing platform on the top of the mountain. It is the best viewing place in Qiandao Lake. The tickets for Qiandao Lake have been photographed here, so this is also a place where tourists must punch cards. You can choose to take the cable car or climb on the top of the mountain. On foot, it takes about 15-20 minutes, so most of them choose to go up the mountain. It feels good to stand on the top of the mountain. The last time I stood here, I took a lot of photos. This time I took the drone. You can fly higher to bird's eye view of the entire island of Thousand Island Lake. The islands of big and small are very beautiful on the water, and they can't help but sigh the wonders of nature. The waters of Qiandao Lake are clear and green. Nowadays, the water quality of the scenic spots in many places is very poor. It is rare to have such clean water, and it is still such a large lake area. There is a wonderful stage performance on the Snake Island with a cafeteria. All tourists should be settled here for lunch. Lunch is self-help, with 35 yuan and 55 yuan. The performance of Snake Island did not come to see for the first time. This time I went to look at it. It was roughly some water performances, acrobatic performances and some song and dance performances from Thailand. The performance is circular, and you can go out and play other games when you see repeated performances. Longshan Island is not far from the cruise ship terminal. The island is large in size, but there are not many places for tourists to watch. The island's pier can be seen with a clean "Lian" character. This island is about the Ming Dynasty Qingguan Hairui.
