We arrived at Qiandao Lake, and later, we found the nearby campground

Qiandao Lake, with 1000 islands

We arrived at Qiandao Lake with the 1000 islands (Xin’anjiang Reservoir) a little late, and what you see during the day depends on how early you come. If you want a full-day trip, 9:00 is the preferable time to purchase the tickets. There are different lengths of trips, with a duration of 4-7 hours, and the length of the ferry trip will also determine how many islands you will be visiting. Our journey took about four hours, and it included two islands. The cost was 180CNY/person, and a reminder to bring snacks. The shop on the boat has a minimal selection with higher pricing. Don’t dream of visiting all islands as there are 1,078 large islands on the lake, and a few thousand smaller ones are scattered across it. The islands in the lake include Bird Island, Snake Island, Monkey Island, Lock Island (supposedly the world’s giant lock), and the Island to Remind You of Your Childhood.

A breathtaking aerial view of Qiandao Lake, also known as the 'Lake of 1000 Islands,' surrounded by lush green hills and dotted with numerous small, forested islands. The calm, reflective waters stretch into the horizon, framed by distant mountain ranges and a hint of urban development, showcasing the serene yet dynamic beauty of this iconic destination in China

We only visited two islands in Qingdao.

The first was Huangshanjian Island, and the second was Paotai Mountain at Green Grass Wudao Island, also known as Bird Island.

Stairs, stairs, and stairs. That is the standard way to visit famous places in China. Suitable for the health and maybe lose a few kilos. The sausages from the local shop shot down my thinking of losing weight. There was plenty to do, for example, feeding fish on top of the mountain, having a peaceful walk in the forest, and hopping on the stones at the small waterfall. The scenic Pavilion had a great view of the area, and you could see many of the islands and take a break there. Unfortunately, the weather was not in our favor, but at least it was not raining.

Bird Island had several birds in cages, and what can you say? Small cages or short chains with big birds are beyond my interest and enjoyment. I wish they had more space. The island itself was enjoyable and had some nice views.
