An excellent location surrounded by the lake on three sides! Specializes in Wuchang fish and lotus root soup.

3⃣ East Lake 177 Art Restaurant
📍Next to the Lake Light Overture Station on the East Lake Greenway
A trendy white standalone building! Recommended dishes: braised prawns and crab leg hot dry noodles. The crayfish are large, and the secret sauce is spicy and flavorful～ The restaurant has a large terrace, perfect for enjoying a chill late-night snack with the lake breeze in the evening～

4⃣ Shijianlu Bookstore Café

A healing coffee and bookstore in the forest! The signature antler coffee is super cute, and sitting by the huge floor-to-ceiling window reading is very relaxing～ Don’t forget to try their sakura pastry, pink and perfect for the season 🌸

5⃣ East Lake Impression Restaurant
📍Changtian Building, East Lake Tingtao Scenic Area
A lake-view restaurant known only to locals! Highly recommend the East Lake three fresh delicacies and dry-fried lotus root shreds. All ingredients are freshly caught from the lake that day, super fresh～ The second-floor terrace offers excellent views, and at about 80 RMB per person, it’s very cost-effective!
