Beautiful China is calling, and I want to wander again! Hey friends, shall we form a group?

Last year, taking advantage of a workday, I took another trip to Chun'an and was completely satisfied. Another year of spring warmth and blooming flowers, the urge to wander is stirring. To escape the hustle and bustle, to meet the lakes and mountains... 🏞【Destination Guide】 🧳Preparation before departure: Qiandao Lake, also known as Chun'an County, is located about 150 kilometers southwest of Hangzhou's urban area. Normally, the temperature is a bit higher than in the Yangtze River Delta region and is slightly slower to be affected by cold air, but overall it's about the same. If you're coming from the north, you'll need to wear less; from the south, of course, you'll need to add more clothes 🚗Transportation Guide: The Hangzhou-Huangshan high-speed train has long been in operation, and the specific duration from Hangzhou depends on whether it's a fast or slow train, but one hour is enough. The high-speed train station is quite far in the northern part of Chun'an urban area, but there are buses running back and forth to the Qiandao Lake Bus Terminal. The bus fare is 5 yuan one way, tickets are purchased on site, and buses depart at intervals of about half an hour. The journey takes about half an hour, and the scenery of lakes and mountains along the way is also nice. For those going to the urban area, you can first take the bus to the Bus Terminal and then transfer to the urban area bus. Hangzhou bus cards can be used seamlessly. In addition, many hotels have shuttle buses, and there are prominent signs at the arrival exit of the station. Of course, you can also take a taxi, depending on your own needs 🛏Hotel Information: Last time I went to the Hilton Hotel in the central lake area, located on the east side of the urban area, next to some government departments. Resort hotels are suitable for staying a few more days to relax and recuperate. Of course, there are many other hotels, and the experience in the resort area is generally very good, as there are many lake areas, and everyone can choose according to their needs. Prices vary depending on weekdays, weekends, and off-peak seasons, and winter is definitely the off-season 🌟Local Must-Visit: Long Alley, Tianyu Mountain, Qiandao Lake Bridge, Green Islands around the lake, there are too many, beautiful places are everywhere. The most interesting thing is to wander around Chun'an urban area, because the city was built on a mountain top when the Qiandao Lake Reservoir was constructed, so it's rightly called 'Little Chongqing'. When you encounter steep slopes, you can't even pedal a bicycle while standing up, haha 🍽Culinary Guide: Eat fish, of course. Go to standardized restaurants, and the prices are not cheap. There's also the local specialty of warm pot, and other than that, noodle houses in Hangzhou or nearby styles, it seems there are no special snacks. Note: Qiandao Lake has spicy food, remember! For friends who can't eat spicy, don't let your guard down just because Qiandao Lake is in Hangzhou , this may also be because it's close to Quzhou and Huangshan. 💗Travel Feelings: Beautiful China, pure natural beauty, is so suitable for relaxing the soul 📌Little Tips: Illegal taxis are everywhere, if you're not familiar with the place, it's better not to take a taxi at random. Public transportation is actually quite convenient, and there are also public bicycles, just scan to use, and there are many stations, cycling also allows you to enjoy the scenery. Also, the official WeChat account has a lot of introductions, convenient for everyone to learn about Qiandao Lake
