Urban Nightscape Check-in Spot

【🏞️Qiandao Lake Secret Realm! A Stunning Scroll of Jiangnan Water Town in 3 Seconds】

🔍Must-visit reasons:
"The Most Beautiful Water in the World"! 1,078 islands scattered like emeralds on the lake💎

📍Address: No. 348 Menggu Road, Qiandao Lake Town, Chun'an County, Hangzhou City
🚗Transportation tips:
- Take the high-speed train from Hangzhou East Station to Qiandao Lake Station (1h), then a 15-minute taxi ride to the scenic area
- Self-driving navigation to "Qiandao Lake Central Lake Area Pier," parking fee 10 RMB/hour

🚤Route plan:
1️⃣ Central Lake Area Pier ➡️ Meifeng Island
"Without climbing Meifeng to view the archipelago, you don’t know the true face of Qiandao Lake"! Take the cable car to the top to overlook the "Gong"-shaped island array
📸Tips: The west viewing platform is less crowded; due to backlighting in the afternoon, morning shots are recommended

2️⃣ Yule Island ➡️ Longshan Island
Yule Island: Water obstacle course + giant net fishing show (11:30/14:00)
Longshan Island: The stone carvings at the Hai Rui Temple are amazing! Touch the "Longevity" character stele for good luck

3️⃣ Moonlight Island Night Tour
Love Lock Bridge + Dreamy Light Show (19:00-21:00), drone meteor shower is super romantic!

🔥Must-check-in spots:
▪️ Tianyu Mountain Viewing Platform: Sunset orange sea + "Little Kamakura" road scenes
▪️ Popular "Island within an Island" Fish Head Restaurant: Drink creamy fish soup on a boat in the middle of the lake

🍜Food highlights:
- Qiandao Lake Fish Head: Two ways to eat - chopped chili or creamy soup, fish lips packed with collagen
- Ye Jiao Jiao: Smooth black noodles made from kudzu starch, paired with spicy chili sauce, absolutely killer
- Rice Cake: Bamboo shoot filling Qingming rice cake, freshly wrapped by aunties for 3 RMB each

💣Pitfall prevention guide:
- Beware of boat upgrade tricks! The second-floor viewing platform is free, don’t believe in "VIP exclusive"
- For fish head restaurants, look for the "organic fish" label; 68 RMB street-side set meals are mostly farmed fish
