Believe it or not, it only takes a day to go from fairy tale to reality.

🌳 The redwood forest is full of autumn sounds, and you are intoxicated and don't know where to go. In early December, the dawn redwoods in the water forest of Qingshan Lake suddenly turned into a fairy tale overnight, with various colors intertwined, and I prefer the deep red. · 🎫 The ticket office of Hangzhou Lin'an Qingshan Lake Scenic Area is located at Liuzhuang Station Visitor Center. You can decide how to visit Qingshan Lake according to the time, one-day tour or two-day tour. It takes about five minutes to walk from the visitor center to the most spectacular water forest area, which is divided into free and paid tours. I personally recommend the latter, for the following reasons: more attractions, more photo spots, water platforms, kayaking in the dawn redwood area, deer and black swan interaction areas, etc. · 🧸 I also happened to encounter the Forest Fantasy Tour, Fantasy Parade and Stage Play, as well as cute expression trees, trees in sweaters, three-dimensional book walls, internet-famous butterflies, etc., allowing you to see another kind of beauty of Qingshan Lake. ⛵️ When you come to Qingshan Lake, you must experience the fun of a painting boat or speedboat tour, which is also the best choice for an in-depth tour of Qingshan Lake. The current open water forest wharf and Shenghe wharf, the last boat ends at 16:30, and the painting boat takes about 40 minutes. Remember to arrange your return time reasonably. · 🥣 For lunch, I chose Hushan Hui, which is located on the south side of the visitor center, featuring Hangzhou cuisine, with excellent taste and elegant environment. · ⚠️ Practical information sharing: Transportation: subway or self-driving 🚇 Take Metro Line 16 to Qingshan Lake Station, exit D, and walk along the lakeside greenway for 10 minutes to reach the scenic spot. 🎟️ Ticket price: Water Forest: 40 yuan/person, free admission with a valid Hangzhou Cultural Tourism Card. 🚣‍♂️ Kayak: 120 yuan/hour for a single kayak, 220 yuan/hour for a double kayak (a double kayak can seat two adults and one child, children must be over 3 years old and under 1.3 meters)
