Qiandao Lake is located in Chun'an County, Zhejiang Province.
In 1959, the Xin'an River Reservoir was built, and the towering dam intercepted the upper reaches of the Xin'an River into a huge lake with vast waves.
The continuous high mountains submerge into the lake and become large and small islands, with a total of 1078, hence the name "Thousand Island Lake".
The water area of ??Qiandao Lake is 575 square kilometers, more than 100 times larger than Hangzhou West Lake, and its water storage capacity is 17.8 billion cubic meters, equivalent to 3,184 West Lakes.
Guo Moruo said in a poem: "There are three thousand West, the mountains have lost their height, the peaks have turned into islands, and the flat land has rolled the waves." Qiandao Lake integrates the mighty rivers and lakes, the deep canyon scenery and the rich cultural relics. It is characterized by clear mountains and clear water.
It is famous for its beautiful scenery, strange caves and strange rocks.
Putting the boat on the lake is like entering a glass mirror.
In addition to clear water, there are countless islands.
Some are like dancing green dragons, and some are like leaping horses; sometimes the two peaks confront each other, and sometimes the golden screen blocks the way. When the ship comes in front, the peaks and peaks turn, and suddenly there is a vast world again.
"The sky is covered with floating jasper in one mirror, and the two peaks are filled with clear clouds and green lotuses." It's as if the body and mind have been sucked into a lingering dream.
The wonder of Qiandao Lake lies in its large islands nestled within small islands, and the large lake hiding small lakes.
The vast Hunan is naturally encroached by thousands of green islets into many lakes of different sizes.
A local saying goes: "There is an island in the lake, Qiandao Lake, and there is an island in the lake, Longchuan Island." Longchuan Island is like a stretched lotus leaf floating on the vast Qiandao Lake, and there are more than 30 small lakes on the island.
It is bright and clear, reflecting the eyes like water drops shining on a lotus leaf.
Among Qiandao Lake, Jieshou Island is the largest, covering an area of ??nearly 2,000 acres; Longzhu Island is the smallest, less than 4 acres.
As the seasons change, the lake water rises and falls, and the islands grow larger and smaller. A small Biluo Island suddenly disappeared the next day; after a few days, green tips appeared again on the island.
It is confusing and unpredictable, making people linger and fully appreciate the wonder of a lake and an island.
Qiandao Lake is man-made and the scenery is natural. Its beauty is increasingly winning people's admiration.
Qiandao Lake is a national-level scenic spot in my country. It connects Hangzhou on one end and Mount Huangshan on the other. It is the emerald on this "golden tourist belt".
Qianhu Island Landscape Xianshan Island is famous for its stones, and strange stones of different shapes are scattered all over the island.
Xianshan is also known as the "Flower and Fruit Mountain". Rare flowers and trees such as lavender, tuberose, jasmine, rose, magnolia, osmanthus, camphor and fragrant root are cultivated on the island. The fruits include loquat, honey pear, bayberry,
Peach, apricot, tangerine branches and leaves, chestnut, etc. are fragrant all year round.
There are also many wonderful legends and historical sites here.
Xianshan is the only peninsula scenic spot among the currently developed scenic spots.
Nine kilometers away from Qiandaohu Town.
The karst landscape here is rich.
The island is dotted with strange rocks and karst caves, including "Dragon Pond" and "Tiger Cave".
There is the Magic Story Harbor Archway and the bull-head sculpture on the left, both scenes left behind when the Shanghai Film Studio came here to shoot the movie "The Next Ship to the Harbor".
Coincidentally, when the water level of Qiandao Lake reached an altitude of 108 meters, the cow head was called the "Thousand Island Sacred Cow" and was carved on stone as a permanent memorial.
Mishan Island Mishan Island covers an area of ??0.36 square kilometers. It is located in the southeast lake area of ??Qiandao Lake, 15 kilometers away from Qiandao Lake Town. It is the only fairy mountain in the lake on the golden tourist route in western Zhejiang. It is full of faithful men and women, and the incense is strong.
There is Mishan Spring on the west side of the mountain top. The water is sweet and refreshing all year round. It was once known as the first spring in the southeast.
The hanging annals record: "On the top of Honey Mountain, there is honey water coming out of the hollow, hence the name." According to legend, the story of "one monk carried water to eat, two monks carried water to eat, and three monks had no water to eat" happened on this island
superior.
On the southwest mountainside, there are three monks sitting in their tombs. The original Mishan Nunnery has been destroyed, and the ruins of the "Mishan Hall of Yuanji" now exist.
In the Zen temple, there are full-length statues of Sakyamuni, as well as lifelike eighteen Arhats, Maitreya Buddha, Wei Tuo, etc.
The trail up the mountain is paved with 800-grade stone slabs, which means "Peng Zu's longevity is eight hundred years old." Now half of the lake is submerged. Honey Mountain is named after "Mishan water is empty and rocks are in the middle". It has been a famous "Zhejiang Province" since ancient times.
"One of the famous scenic spots in the West", it is not only a beautiful place for literati and poets to visit, but also a sacred place of worship for Buddhist believers.
Make cloud tea in Mishan Spring, sip tea and watch the scenery, and be so happy that you never know how to return.
Longyang Mountain Longyang Mountain covers an area of ??0.2 square kilometers. Because the island is covered with wild osmanthus, it is also called Osmanthus Island.
It is a calcareous karst landform. In the process of natural evolution, it has created various wonderful landscapes.
There are many landscapes, including natural rock scenery such as Wulong Chushui, Changuanxianwu, Rhinoceros Roaring to the Sky, Clear Waves Reflecting the Moon, Tongtian Shimen, Qunyang Cave, Wanghu Terrace, and Thousands of Waters and Mountains.
The whole island is like a big bonsai. Walking through it, you can appreciate the wonderful meaning of "when people are in the cracks of the rocks, the sky comes out of the cave".
One of the main features of Osmanthus Island is the Tongtian Stone Gate. The word "Tongtian" chiseled along the wall is the handwriting of Huang Miaozi, a famous Chinese calligrapher and esthetician.
At that time, he was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of Osmanthus Island, and left behind the best lines of "Chongjiu Climbing Osmanthus Mountain": "In the rain, I shake my clothes during the Double Ninth Festival. I am not too late to wait for the Osmanthus. Why should I go to the Toad Palace? The small rocks and sparse forests are always poetry."
