QianDao lake

last weekend , our class had a spring outing to QianDao lake in hangzhou .

there are 1078 islets , that is the reason why it is called 1000-islet (Qiandao) Lake .

This 573-square-kilometer lake, over 100 meters in depth, is 109 times the size of the West Lake in Hangzhou. It has a storage capacity of 17.8 billion cubic meters.

Surrounded by verdant mountains, the crystal-clear lake is dotted by islets with luxuriant vegetation, like plenty of jadeite in a big mirror.

While going boating on the lake, you will find "a lake within hills and a hill within lakes". you can not only enjoy the boundlessness of Taihu Lake (one of China's 4 biggest lakes) but also appreciate the gracefulness of West Lake.

The water temperature remains about 14°C, pleasant both in summer and winter.

Qiandao Lake is known for its numerous attractions, featuring green hills, beautiful waters, unusual caves, and fantastic rocks.

More appealing among them are such islets as Longshan, Laoshan, Xianshan, Guihua, and Mishan. Besides, various kinds of animal are raised on many islets, including Monkey Islet, Bird Islet, and Snake Islet.

if you have the chance to go to HangZhou , it is one good place to visit~
