No.14: Qiandao Lake & Moganshan - Find a Petty Bourgeoisie Resorts to Spend a Relaxing Holiday

Moganshan

Mogan Mountain (Huzhou)

Thousand Islets Lake

Thousand Islets Lake (Chun'an County)

• Type : Resorts

• Top Places to Visit: Moganshan; Thousand Islets Lake

Want to get away from the hustle and bustle of urban city life and spend a relaxing weekend with your family and friends? Why not try some famous scenic spots around Hangzhou? Moganshan and Thousand Islets Lake are top recommended destinations for your vacation.

One of the most exotic ways to spend a holiday is hiding in the mountain forest with swaying bamboo and gurgling streams. Moganshan , near Hangzhou, is a place well known internationally and with a lot of prestige. It was named one of the "45 Best Places to Visit in the World" by the New York Times, and CNN named it one of the 15 places with Chinese characteristics as well as the Great Wall. There are old houses and villas built by European and American merchants scattered in the mountains for more than 100 years and have been transformed into boutique hotels, cafes or bars nowadays. The farmhouses at the foot of the mountain are transformed into creative studios or western restaurants. High-end resorts in Mogan Mountain Scenic Area, on the other hand, promote low-carbon and minimalist ideas, encouraging guests to leave the modern lifestyle behind. People come here for novel experiences such as looking for fireflies along streams, storing water and brewing tea beside mountain springs, and biking along winding mountain trails.

Among the many lakes in Zhejiang, Qiandao Lake (Thousand Islets Lake) is almost as famous as West Lake. There are plenty of tourists coming here for the fame of the lake today. Every day, boats sail off across the clear lake. The milky white fish head soup is delicious and not to be missed. Others skip the crowded cruise boats and ride bikes through the mountains and countryside, galloping along the beautiful greenways that ring the lake, trying to shorten every inch of the distance to the water and seeing more sights that traditional routes don't have. If you still have time, head to the Southwest Lake District at the other end. Longchuan Bay Wetland (龙川湾湿地) and Qinchuan Ancient Dwellings (芹川古民居) will give you a different impression of Qiandao Lake.
