I spent three days in the Qiandao Lake tourist town, checking out the fairly popular Qiandao Lake Beer Town.
This town features a European style, with colorful townhouses and cobblestone streets perfect for photos. After the lights come on at dusk, it feels like stepping into a fairytale. However, it seems somewhat deserted now, perhaps because the summer season for outdoor beer drinking has passed. Fish head soup with craft beer was a perfect match for dinner. However, the beer museum, at 80 yuan, wasn't great value.
A stroll along the lakeside greenway in the evening was particularly pleasant, with the lake breeze on my face. Overall impression: Suitable for a slow-paced vacation; don't rush to see the sights, allow ample time to appreciate the lake scenery and local atmosphere.
