Appreciate the natural scenery and tourist attractions in the southeast lake area of Qiandao Lake

The islands here are as small as pearls and as large as emerald peaks, comparable to the stunning scenery of Guilin. They are not only beautiful, but also magnificent, surpassing the grandeur of Taihu Lake and Dongting Lake.

Huangshan Peak: Overlooking 'The World Belongs to the People'

Located in the Pearl Peninsula of the Southeast Lake District, Huangshan Peak is characterized by 'beautiful waters, unique islands, and serene scenery.' With vast expanses of clear water and picturesque landscapes, it is the highest island in the Pearl Archipelago. Compared to Meifeng Island, it attracts fewer tourists, making it the most worthwhile island to visit in the Thousand Island Lake area. From the summit, you can see over ninety islands, each with its unique shape and arrangement, resembling strings of pearls scattered on the lake's surface, forming the characters 'The World Belongs to the People.' This natural formation is truly marvelous and indescribable.

Tianchi Island: Suitable for All Ages

Tianchi Island, also known as 'Gem Mountain,' features seven stone pools at its peak formed by quarrying. These pools contain water and fish, making them the essence of Tianchi Island. The stone quality in the tea garden here is excellent, hence the saying 'The world's beautiful stones come from the tea garden.'

Mishan Island: Ancient Temple Hidden in Green Mountains and Clear Lakes

Mishan Island is a small island full of Zen flavor in Qiandao Lake. There is a Mishan Zen Temple on the top of the mountain. The story of 'Three Monks Have No Water to Drink,' which we have heard since childhood, happened here. Since ancient times, Mishan has been a Buddhist holy place, attracting many devout followers and having a thriving incense. Today, it has become a unique and charming fairyland on the lake.

Qiandao Lake Forest Oxygen Bar: A Gift from Nature

Spreading greenery, trickling streams, and the moist air after the rain, this is the largest and best forest scenic area on Qiandao Lake - Qiandao Lake Forest Oxygen Bar. With lush vegetation and fresh air, it is an excellent place to breathe in oxygen and cleanse your lungs.

Qiandao Lake Stone Forest: The First Stone Forest in East China

Qiandao Lake Stone Forest combines the characteristics of 'secluded, mysterious, strange, and dangerous'. It is known for its stone scenery and is a naturally scenic spot with a unique personality. The scenic area features peculiarly shaped stone formations, with numerous stones resembling humans, objects, birds, and beasts, earning it the title of 'Natural Animal Museum'. Its vast area, large scale, and unique landscapes make it unparalleled in East China, earning it the title of 'The First Stone Forest in East China'.

Longchuan Bay: Lake-type Wetland

Located in the southwestern lake area of Qiandao Lake, Longchuan Bay is surrounded by numerous islands of various sizes, with winding and meandering inlets, creating the unique scenery of 'islands within a lake, and a lake within islands.' It is the only lake-type wetland in Qiandao Lake, and it will absolutely amaze you. Moreover, there are many communes here, such as the 70s Commune and the 80s Commune, which easily evoke memories of those eras. More importantly, it is less crowded here, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery.
