Hangzhou Qingshan Lake: A real-life fairytale.

The Qingshan Lake Water Forest Scenic Area in Hangzhou is like a fairytale scroll carefully painted by nature. The red leaves are like fire, contrasting with the green algae, while the light between the trees is faint and dreamlike. As you slowly sail along, the dawn redwood trees sway, and the distant mountains rise and fall in the mist. The lake is vast, covering about 10 square kilometers, and the man-made lake and natural mountains blend perfectly. From November to December, the scenery is at its peak, with colorful dawn redwood trees that look like an oil painting. The transportation is convenient, with a parking lot at Liuzhuang Station for self-driving visitors, and the scenic area is accessible from Babaili Station or Qingshan Lake Station on Metro Line 16. The scenic area has two main areas to visit. The water corridor on the greenway around the lake is perfect for cycling and walking, with mandarin ducks and wild ducks as companions. When the dawn redwood trees change color, it feels like a dream. The water forest is more popular, with affordable tickets and discounts available with certain documents. The kayaking project is not to be missed, with single or double kayaks available for a fun time on the water. There are many routes to choose from. The north route starts from the visitor center and passes through many beautiful spots to Taiyangwan Station. The south route starts from Qianwang Point and follows the lakeshore to Xiandu Bridge. Tips: The greenway is about 42 kilometers long and takes 2-3 hours to cycle. The waterfront platform and kayaks are very photogenic. You can enjoy a picnic or camping on the lawn. The sunset at the pier is as beautiful as a movie scene. Come to Qingshan Lake and experience the poetic and romantic fairytale atmosphere.
