📍Day 1: Contract the blue of an entire lake

⛴️ Central Lake District Cruise
A must-try cruise when you come to Qiandao Lake! Choose the first boat at 8:30 in the morning, there are fewer people and the scenery is beautiful～
The boat ticket includes three islands: Moonlight Island, Yule Island, and Meifeng Island,
It is recommended to bring a thin coat, the lake breeze is a bit strong～🌬️

💫 Moonlight Island
Four small islands are connected by bridges, mainly creating a romantic atmosphere～
Check in at the love lock wall of "Lock Island"❤️, and it is super ritualistic to hang a concentric lock with your best friend/partner!
You can also see the peacock garden🦚, children will love it～

🍴 Yule Island Lunch
There is a snack street on the island, it is recommended to try the pan-fried lake fish🐟 (non-wild), and corn cakes～
After eating, bask in the sun on the deck and watch the waves, instantly healing all worries～

🌿 Meifeng Island Viewing Platform
"If you don't visit the islands from Meifeng, you won't know the true face of Qiandao"!
Take the cable car to the top (60r round trip) and overlook the scattered islands🌿,
The picture of the green islands embedded in the blue lake is a blockbuster at the screen saver level no matter how you shoot it📸!

📍Day 2: Chase the sunrise + stroll around the old street + cycling

🌅 Tianyu Mountain Viewing Platform Sunrise
Get up at 5 am and rush! Drive 15 minutes to the foot of the mountain, and climb 15 minutes of steps to the viewing platform～
When golden ripples appear on the lake, and fishing boats slowly row across the distance🌄,
At that moment, I really felt that "the world is worth it"! Remember to bring a thermos cup to hold hot coffee～

🏮 Qilong Lane Historical and Cultural Block
It is a literary old street during the day, and transforms into a lantern ocean at night🏮!
Blue stone roads, wooden pavilions, intangible cultural heritage handicraft shops…
It is recommended to go to the "Qiandao Lake Cultural and Creative Store" to pick refrigerator magnets🎁,
Eat a bowl of thick soup fish head noodles🍜 in "Fish Street", the soup is so fresh that your eyebrows will fall off～

🚲 Lakeside Cycling (Qianfen Greenway)
Rent a shared bicycle (there are many on the roadside) and ride from "Qiandao Lake Bridge" to "Cycling Station"～
Along the way, you will pass reed marshes, wooden houses, and waterfront plank roads,
When you are tired, sit by the lake and watch the water birds skimming💦, and feel the true meaning of "slow life"～

🍽️[Food Red List]

✅ Fangji Fish Restaurant: The signature casserole fish head soup is a must! The tofu absorbs the soup and is super tasty～
✅ Haodongjia Local Cuisine: Dried bamboo shoots with cured meat, and scrambled eggs with Wujiapi, the ceiling of local farmhouse dishes!
✅ Xuji Milk Tea: Qiandao Lake limited "Lemon Milk Green", refreshing and degreasing～
