This lake in Ningbo is three times bigger than the West Lake, 1200 years old. You can't miss these three scenic spots by the lake.

Hangzhou West Lake is famous all over the world. Traveling to Zhejiang, Hangzhou West Lake must be the place to punch in. But you know what? There are many lakes in Zhejiang, and there is also a big lake in Ningbo, which has been excavated for 1200 years, and its area is three times that of Hangzhou West Lake.

This lake is Dongqian Lake in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. Dongqian Lake is 0/5km away from the east of Ningbo. It consists of three parts: Guzi Lake, Humei Lake and Waihu Lake. It is the largest (natural) freshwater lake in Zhejiang Province. With a history of more than 0/200 years from now, many famous sages have praised Dongqian Lake since ancient times. Mr. Guo Moruo once praised Dongqian Lake as "the scenery of the West Lake and the heroic Taihu Lake", which shows how charming the scenery of Dongqian Lake is.

Dongqian Lake is too big, three times bigger than the West Lake. How to play here?

There are many scenic spots along Dongqian Lake, such as Xiaoputuo, Taogong Island, Fuquan Mountain, Southern Song Dynasty Stone Carving Site Park, Youngor Zoo and so on. There are also some natural villages and small parks to visit. Here are some special recommendations for everyone.

Huxindi

This is the core attraction of Dongqian Lake. A levee spans Dongqian Lake for more than one kilometer. It divides the whole Dongqian Lake into two lakes, north and south. Walking on the walkway of the levee, I couldn't help smiling at the scenery on both sides of Dongqian Lake. Yes, spring has come.

The famous Xiaoputuo scenic spot in Ningbo is on this levee, and it is also a must-see spot for many people to visit Dongqian Lake. A white and flawless Guanyin sits on the lake, so sacred.

Aquatic tent camp

The water tent camp is also a place where many tourists in Dongqian Lake will punch in, which is located between Hanling and the embankment in the middle of the lake. In fact, from the middle of the lake to the water tent camp, it can be reached in less than 2 kilometers. There are large green areas and plank roads on the lake. Many families fly kites, swim around the lake and have afternoon tea here, but the cute calf next to the signboard of Dongqian Lake also attracts many people to take pictures and punch in, which is meaningless.

Hanlinglao steet

This is a popular punching place among many tourist attractions in Dongqian Lake.

Hanling Old Street, a well-preserved typical ancient village in eastern Zhejiang, has a long history and is known as "the first ancient street in eastern Zhejiang". Here are the vast scenery of South Lake, the quaint vicissitudes of a century-old street, and the streets and lanes with nine songs. Time flies and the waves are calm. I love this peace.

However, what I like better is that the food and small shops here can rent Hanfu to go through, experience wood art, bracelets, pottery making and taste the special Ningbo cuisine.

My accommodation in dongqian lake was also chosen in hanling old street, persimmon became red and there was hanling courtyard. B&B is located in the old street, with superior geographical location, duplex room, large living room, bedroom on the second floor, well-equipped rooms and intelligent projection TV. Breakfast is very rich. Hand-ground coffee smells good. I like this kind of decoration very much, which is simple and modern, low-key and luxurious, elegant and quiet.
