The three recommended Qiandao Lake spring tour routes are wonderfully diverse and each unique, reflecting the distinct nostalgic memories of spring outings among netizens from the 70s, 80s, and 90s:
70s: Rediscover Colorful Memories — Our Spring Outing Is Like a Song
The spring outing theme for the 70s is “Rediscover Colorful Memories.” Over the two-day tour, you can escape the urban PM2.5 and enjoy boating and island-hopping in the pristine waters and fresh air of Qiandao Lake’s Central Lake Area, taking in the lake and mountain views and the splendid sights of the islands. In the evening, watch the large-scale cultural performance “Qiandao Lake: Spirit of Water,” traveling through the corridors of time to revisit the dramatic evolution of this breathtakingly beautiful place. The next day, head to Chuanwan Scenic Area and Qinchuan Ancient Residential Buildings. Amid the small bridges, flowing streams, black-tiled houses with white walls, and ancient villages where the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard, admire the quaint and exquisite carvings, savor the aromatic home-style dishes, and rediscover the colorful rural spring memories of your childhood.
80s: Relive Wonderful Youth — Our Spring Outing Is Super Fun
As the first generation of only children, the spring outing theme for the 80s—now half of whom are entering their thirties—is defined here as “Relive Wonderful Youth.” The three-day itinerary is packed, with less leisurely relaxation compared to the 70s and more youthful energy. On the first day, start with a cycling trip along the scenic lakeside ribbon trail, speeding through the tree-lined lakeside, reigniting the passion of youth through exertion. In the evening, embark on a mysterious night tour of Qiandao Lake, “tasting Qiandao Lake boat cuisine, enjoying original ecological performances, and experiencing the charm of the night town.” Stand on the deck to admire the twinkling lights of lakeside hotels and resort properties in Qiandao Lake Town; take in the glowing lights of Qiandao Lake Bridge and the lakeside highway; bask in the cool lake breeze, gaze at the starry night sky, and experience a truly premium leisure journey. The next day, visit Huangshanjian and Tianchi Island in the Southeast Lake Area. With clear skies and good visibility, climb to high points to take in panoramic views of thousands of West Lakes and vast expanses of blue waves. Then head to the Stone Forest to appreciate the diverse natural landscapes of “strange rocks, cliffs, spiritual caves, and ancient paths.” If you’re feeling playful, you can even play a game of hide-and-seek—the favorite group activity of 80s spring outings—and relive childhood memories. On the last day, wind down and head to the forest oxygen bar to rejuvenate your mind and return from youthful indulgence to become the confident, mature self you once were, ready to return to the city and face life’s challenges.
90s: Explore the Real World — Did You Know About Our Spring Outing?
Finally, there’s the ultimate spring tour feast for the most youthful and individualistic 90s—“Explore the Real World.” On this travel route, as a 90s traveler, you’ll have a different creative and experiential adventure at the same locations compared to the other two generations. For example, on the first day at the Central Lake Area, while the 70s enjoy boating to take in the scenery, the 90s head to Fun Fish Island to explore the “Water Maze,” experience water activities, and watch a “Water Wedding”—it’s all about fun, thrills, and non-stop joy. Not excited enough? No worries, there’s also an exciting Qiandao Lake Beer Festival in the evening to let you drink, laugh, and go wild. On the second day, go watch the Qiandao Lake giant net fishing and see how the delicious Qiandao Lake fish heads end up leaping onto everyone’s dining tables. Then cycle along the lakeside scenic belt for an impromptu youth cycling race. In the evening, spend an unforgettable night at the RV camping base. On the last day, like the 70s, visit Longchuan Bay and Qinzhou Ancient Residential Buildings, but while they reminisce about their hometown’s fleeting years, you’ll receive a “rural tourism” refresher course—sample fresh farm food, explore quaint old residences, and enjoy a completely new and unique experience for 90s travelers.
