Hike, Kayak & SUP at Thousand Island Lake
Thousand Island Lake, also known as Qiandaohu, is located in Chun'an County in Zhejiang Province. It gets the name cause there are about 1,078 islands dotted in the area. This man-made lake is formed cause the water flooded the area after the Xin'an River hydroelectric station is completed. Qiandaohu is not only famous for beautiful lake views, lush forests but its clean and drinkable water which is used for producing famous brand of Nongfu Spring Mineral Water.
In this trip we will enjoy kayaking and try SUP at the Thousand Island Lake, explore the local villages, hike through valley to check out the amazing waterfalls which we think can also cool you down in the summer. If we have time we can swim a little bit and we might have chance to spot the monkeys in the natural forest if we are lucky! At night we will have bbq as dinner by the lake! You might want to show your KTV skill with the help of cold beers:)
