Hangzhou Lin'an Marriott weekend stay, real stay experience

When I came to Qingshan Lake before, I just took a quick tour of the water forest and didn’t fully experience the essence of the 4A scenic spot. This time, we chose a weekend to stay at the Lin'an Qingshan Lake Marriott Hotel. Our family of three went hiking to pick wild raspberries, rented a mountain bike for 20r to experience cycling around the lake, rented a kayak to go boating in the water forest, and when we were tired, we lay down on the large lawn of the camping site, drank coffee and rested to relax ~ absorbing the energy of nature. 🏨Accommodation: Lin'an Marriott Hotel The location is excellent, very close to Qingshan Lake, only about 10 minutes' drive away. 🛏️The room is spacious and comfortable, and the bedding is soft. When you come back tired from playing, you can fall asleep immediately and have a good night's sleep. The hotel also has a gym, billiards, and a children's paddling pool, where you can go play early in the morning or in the evening. 🍴The hotel's breakfast is also very rich, with both Chinese and Western styles. The children enjoyed the meal very much, and the most important thing is that it is not crowded! It is so satisfying to be able to have a slow and quiet breakfast. I am really traumatized by the noisy breakfasts in other family hotels where you have to queue up even at the noodle stall. There is a shopping mall next to the hotel, which is within walking distance, and it is also convenient to order takeout. Family Hiking From the Babaili Old Street to the Qingshan Lake Greenway, from the wild forest to the open lakeside, the distance is very short, about 2 kilometers. There are windmill jasmine and wild raspberries along the way, and May Day is the time when wild strawberries and raspberries are in full bloom! If you are tired of hiking on the way there, you can wave and take the scenic area electric car to the exit or parking lot. 🚴 Cycling Car rental: Find a car rental company in Babailijiayuan and you can rent an adult mountain bike for 20 yuan, which comes with gloves and a helmet. After passing through an underground passage, you will reach the Qingshan Lake Greenway. It is recommended to take the clockwise route as it is easier to go downhill. ⛵️Rowing Kayaks can be rented at the Qingshan Lake Water Forest Boating Area, charged by the hour. It is recommended not to paddle to a place that is too remote, otherwise the return journey will take a long time. With the gentle breeze and mottled shadows of the trees, you can row into the Wonderful Land of Oz and occasionally encounter black swans and mallards. They are not afraid of people at all! ⛺️Camping and picnic Opposite the entrance to the Water Forest is a large undulating hillside lawn and a coffee shop where you can have a picnic and camp. You can also have a picnic in the large lakeside area opposite the Qingshan Lake Scenic Area Water Forest Parking Lot, where you can have a wider view of the lake. It is recommended to bring a picnic blanket. The Qingshan Lake is 42 kilometers long and you can cycle around the lake, take a light hike on a beginner-friendly route, kayak through the water forest, take your kids for a stroll on the wooden boardwalk to see deer and swans, or lie down on the camping lawn to absorb the energy of nature. This trip to Lin'an Marriott + Qingshan Lake was really satisfying! Come again next time!
