|Ten Must-Visit Spots at Dongqian Lake||. Explore Ningbo by Subway | Ten Must-Visit Spots at Dongqian Lake|||Sunny, the lake is shimmering; rainy, it's like the misty riverside of the south. Sharing my personal top ten views of Qian Lake, directly accessible by subway 1⃣ Yinwan Village. The old fishing lights of Qian Lake's ten views are in Yinwan Village. Besides the beauty of the lake and mountains, the ancient houses and the popular lighthouse are must-visits. 2⃣ Hanling. In ancient times, it was known as Hanling Market, together with the west Xixiang Fengao Market. The water street with its small bridges and flowing water, pavilions, and the lake and mountain scenery have all the elements of a southern water town, surpassing Zhouzhuang, Wuzhen, and other water towns. Hanling Art Museum, with its exterior design inspired by ancient residential tiles, is perfect for sunset photos and the mirror-like reflections on the 'Sky Mirror' are stunning. 3⃣ Baishi Xianping. Also one of the old ten views of Qian Lake, it's great for climbing high on a clear autumn day to see the city skyline and the lake views of Yinwan Village and Taogong Island. 4⃣ Taogong Island. The internet-famous pear tree is located under the small bridge in Liminli, by the river dock. The seamless view of Dongqian Lake is a beautiful spot to enjoy birds, boats, and the relaxed feeling of a half-day floating life. 5⃣ Fuquan Mountain. Don't miss the healing beauty of the tea gardens, where you can view the lake and see the distant Dongqian Lake and Xiangshan Port Bridge. 6⃣ Xiashui Wetland Surroundings. A leisurely spot for photos by Dongqian Lake, where you can slow down at the wetland park's coffee bar and savor the beauty of Qian Lake. 7⃣ Qian Lake's Secret Realm. The lakeside secret realm where 'the mountain air is finest at dusk, birds return together' offers a waterside plank road for walking or cycling, as if passing through the scenery. 8⃣ Academician Center. A great spot in Ningbo for photo ops and family leisure. A large tree in the courtyard and the wind and rain corridor are perfect for photos. 9⃣ Little Putuo. Taogong Dike is like Su Dike, and the long rainbow lies on the waves, dividing Dongqian Lake in two. The eight lake heart views such as Qian Dike Misty Waves, Taogong Fishing Rock, Fragrant Osmanthus in the Breeze, Clear Lake Bright Moon, Two Spirits Skimming Shadows, Xia Island Locking Mist, Butuo Cave Heaven, and Mountain Monk Calling Boats are not to be missed. 1⃣0⃣ Erling Temple. A secluded ancient temple by the mountain and water, where you can watch the sunset and overlook the lake view of Little Putuo. Don't miss the treasure spot in the temple, the Erling Pagoda, a national key cultural relic protection unit. 🌴 Travel Tips 🚙 For self-driving, it's recommended to navigate to Yinwan Village and tour Dongqian Lake clockwise 🚎 Public Transportation 🚄 Subway Line 4 Dongqian Lake Station Exit A 🚩 Use a combination of walking + public transportation between attractions 1⃣ Buses, with many routes and cost-effective, even a special lake tour line was opened during the National Day holiday 2⃣ Taxis.
