1. Establish a base

Since it is a one-day trip, it is recommended that you Staying one night in Qiandao Lake can not only relieve the stress of travel, but also give you an in-depth experience of farm life, giving you a different feeling. I personally recommend that you stay at Yinghuge Farm in Fuwen Township. Boss Yang is a loyal person, and the local dishes cooked by his wife are very authentic. You can also eat real Qiandao Lake wild fish (caught by Boss Yang himself). The most pleasant thing is You can also swing a few rods by the lake in the morning and evening, catch a few fish yourself and take them home to eat (Boss Yang can provide simple fishing gear, if you are a professional fisherman, you can bring your own fishing gear). Specific route: You start from Hangzhou, take the Hangxinjing Expressway to Danzhuxia Expressway (not Qiandao Lake), enter "Yinghuge Farm" in the mobile navigation, and drive for about 20 minutes to reach Yinghuge Farm in Fuwen Township. Huge Farm. If necessary, you can ask me for contact information. If you don’t want to stay, you can skip this section.

2. Travel

There are many scenic spots in Qiandao Lake, but not many classic ones. You can start from the "base" before 12 o'clock and go to the cruise pier to take a boat trip to Qiandao Lake. There are two main routes to visit the lake, namely the central lake area and the southeast lake area. There is a detailed introduction to this pier, so I won’t go into details.

After visiting the lake, you can go for a walk in the Stone Forest Scenic Area, or you can choose to watch the evening performance.

The next morning, I slept until I woke up naturally, then went for a walk in the forest oxygen bar, and then took the expressway directly from Danzhu to return to Hangzhou. (If you are not staying in Qiandao Lake, this section can be arranged as the first stop).

3. Things to note

The prices in Qiandao Lake during off-peak and peak seasons are very different, especially during holidays, there is a big gap between prices and weekdays. The most common hotel in the city can range from 80 yuan to 480 yuan, so you need to plan your travel time accordingly.

In terms of shopping, as long as you don’t shop on the island, you will basically not get ripped off, but you must also know how to pay back the price, of course, the rich are the exception.

Never pay attention to wild tour guides soliciting tourists, let alone so-called free services. Travel Guide

Transportation Routes

Chun'an Qiandao Lake falls under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou, and Hangzhou is its main gateway in and out. There is no airport or train station in Qiandao Lake, so the most convenient way of transportation is to take a bus from Hangzhou to Qiandao Lake. If the distance is far, you can only take a plane or train to Hangzhou or Shanghai and other surrounding areas for transfer.

Shanghai, Nanjing, and Huangshan also have direct trains to Qiandao Lake, but the buses are not as frequent as Hangzhou.

Of course, you still have to take buses and taxis in the city. The bus lines of Qiandao Lake are very mature and are planned according to the tourism characteristics of Qiandao Lake.

(1) It is best to prepare parasols, sun hats and sunglasses before traveling. The sun is very strong on the main peaks of some islands.

(2) It rains a lot in Qiandao Lake from April to May, so be sure to bring rain gear.

(3) Don’t believe the black tour guides. They say there is no need to buy tickets, but the places you go to after boarding the boat are often not the main scenic spots.

(4) It is best not to eat local organic fish heads on a tourist boat. Eat them in restaurants in the city. The price and production are not satisfactory.

(5) When feeding on Monkey Island, do not tease or feed with your hands, just throw it on the ground, as it will hurt people.
