Hangzhou Winter Outing Guide | Thousand Island Lake One-Day Tour
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.
Arrived at the Qiandao Lake Scenic Area at noon, took a boat to visit the three islands in the Southeast Lake District in the afternoon, boarded the top of Huangshan Mountain and saw the wonder of "the world is public". After going to the Qiandao Lake Lighthouse, the lighthouse under the sunset is so beautiful.
It is very pleasant to take a cruise to Qiandao Lake, with mountains and water fish heads. It takes about 6-7 hours to go back and forth. There are various entertainment projects and some performances on the island, especially the big fish head soup of Qiandao Lake is really delicious.
Ctrip is convenient to book, 10 yuan a day in advance, directly brush the ID card to check the ticket, Qiandao Lake is very beautiful, the ticket is valid for two days, you can play the central lake and the southeast lake respectively, there is enough time to have fun.
Arrived before 9 am, you can play 4 islands, the first is Meifeng Island, you can take the cable car to the best observation deck, 60 yuan round trip, you can also walk up the mountain, about 20-30 minutes, if you take the elderly and children to suggest the cable car, the scenery is still very good, there are two observation decks to the top of the mountain, The west observation deck is panoramic; the second is Yule Island, mainly for eating and watching performances, do not go back, different piers to get on and off; The third is Longshan Island, the fourth month of Light Island, the same is not going back, different piers to get on and off, but several island self-funded projects are still a lot, you can choose according to your actual situation, the scenery is still good.
Qiandao Lake welcomes me to travel. Yesterday, it was stormy and rainy. Today, the weather is fine, the blue sky and white clouds are clear, and the scenery is beautiful. Especially when you look at Meifeng Island on the cable car, the lake view of Qiandao Lake is particularly beautiful.
In December, the off-season Qiandao Lake tour, the tickets are free, just the cruise ship pays, I feel comfortable, the central lake area of Qiandao Lake 1 day tour, the lake beauty, the water beauty is more beautiful, it is worthy of the Qiandao Lake District, the Qiandao Lake environment is quiet, you can overlook, you can be in a daze, you can also travel around the lake.
Qiandao Lake is a very magnificent place with history and culture, endless water, countless islands, attracting tourists from all sides, taking family and trips, taking big boats to various attractions, each with a unique style and charm.
Free tickets in winter! Qiandao Lake is still very good, although it is a bit cold in winter, but the scenery is still good. When I go, it is recommended to go on a sunny day. It will be especially beautiful to shoot the lake on a sunny day! Qiandao Lake is also a stop I planned this year, completing my wish this year.
