Qiandao Lake has exceptionally clear water. The tour depends on your available time; if you're short on time, you can choose a speedboat to visit the main attractions. If you have ample time, it's worth taking your time to explore.

The sunset view of the lake from the Tianyu Mountain viewing platform is absolutely stunning and highly recommended. The escalator to the viewing platform is effortless, and on the way down, you can enjoy the water slide – a little thrilling – which leads directly to the parking lot, making it incredibly convenient.

Visiting Qiandao Lake in early November was a good value for money. It was very affordable for us, as we preferred natural scenery and leisurely strolls rather than large-scale entertainment. Meifeng Island and Longshan Island in the central lake area are highly recommended. The other two, Moonlight Island and Fishing Island, are purely for entertainment and have no special features.

This season is truly wonderful for a visit; the Southeast Lake area pier avoids the crowds, allowing you to fully enjoy the tranquility of the lake and mountain scenery. We upgraded to a cabin on the second floor, which offered access to the deck for taking photos and admiring the surrounding views. The tour guide's explanations were also very helpful.

The whole process is effortless. Three elevators take you up the mountain to the observation deck. Continuing upwards, there's a gate for taking photos. If you don't want to explore other areas, you can follow the signs to take the water slide down. However, you can actually continue walking upwards. 1-2 hours is enough. The water slide is very fun, long enough, a little thrilling but not scary.

Meifeng Island is the most worthwhile destination in Qiandao Lake, with beautiful scenery. However, the ticket price is a bit expensive, and you need to purchase a cable car ticket separately. The cruise ship has two levels, with the economy class on the lower level offering a less desirable experience. A premium business class experience requires an additional fee to purchase on-site.

After waiting for 2 days, we finally waited for an hour without wind and rain. The store contacted us and said that we could fly at 4pm. We grabbed our kids and went there. We finally got on the hot air balloon. Although the clouds were still very thick, it did not affect the beautiful scenery. We also saw Phnom Penh in the sun. We were so lucky😀

My husband loves go-karting. He will first explain to you how to drive on the track and how to start the car, and then give you the equipment. After that, when your driving time is up, you just need to stop. It is more fun with more people. Anyone who wants to experience it can try it! ! ! !
