A summer paradise for kids and elderly

Spend at least two days to go through different area at Qiandaohu if traveling with young kids or elderly, or both!
The first day go on the classic boat tour and wander around the different islands. Moonlight island was most impressive to the older generation because of the various places they could take pictures and videos.
*make sure to get back to the boat by the time they tell you!**
Having a rest between islands was nice.

The second day travel to Yianyu mountain to get a birds eye view is the islands. The young and old enjoyed this because there was an escalator all the way up. Since it’s summer there was a fine mist sprayed along the way to keep you cool. Another great photo spot and an easy day even if it’s hot.
Take the bus back down if the boat ride is too thrilling.

The first night fish head soup should be tried. For the young get stir fried veggies and everyone will leave full and happy.
The second night eat at nearby restaurants for fresh and clean food.
