Covering a vast space of 580 square kilometers in Hangzhou, Qiandao Lake is a majestic expanse of shimmering blue water that has earned it the name "Thousand-Island Lake." Its mild climate blesses the region with four distinct seasons, offering a canvas that changes with nature's whims. Beyond its picturesque landscapes, Qiandao Lake holds secrets beneath its surface – submerged ancient cities and villages waiting to be explored by intrepid divers. A testament to China's remarkable engineering prowess, the lake was formed when the Xin'an River was dammed to create a reservoir. Today, it remains a paradise for water enthusiasts, offering a myriad of activities, from boating to fishing.
