2 Day Exploration at Thousand Island Lake Area
Thousand Island Lake is a human-made freshwater lake in Chun'an County in Zhejiang Province. It was formed after the local government built its first Xin'an River hydroelectric station in 1959 when 1,377 villages were flooded and went down under water. Year after year the number of the unusual islands grew and now 1,078 large islands dot the lake and smaller ones are scattered across it. It becomes the landmark of the local area.
On these two days we will explore one corner of the lake along 50K lakeshore by bike and hike through the valley from one village on the bottom up to the other one on the top and appreciate the great mountain view on the platform!
The view in the autumn season is very beautiful and best season for the biking and hiking!
