From Yanque Lake to Biwa Lake, the 51 most beautiful free routes

Route: Yanque Lake ~ Qian Lake ~ Biwa Lake 1. Walk from the Alfalfa Garden Metro Station to Wutong Avenue to check in. 2. Turn left to the entrance of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum No. 3 to see the metasequoia. 3. Walk along Yanque Lake towards Gate No. 2, along the way you can see water lilies, small boats, water birds, and deer on the opposite shore. 4. Continue forward from Gate No. 2, cross the intersection to the side of Qian Lake, follow the greenway under the city wall along the lake, and walk from Qian Lake to Biwa Lake. 5. Circle around Biwa Lake to see the water chestnuts, and return after passing the entrance of the Botanical Garden along Wutong Avenue. The whole journey is free and takes about 2 hours without counting photo time. Just a reminder, water lilies and water chestnuts are sensitive to light, so it's safer to come in the morning or at noon. For those who like roses, here's another free check-in spot: the Ruins Park next to the Xiamafang Metro Station.
