Why Qiandao Lake?
There are many vacation destinations in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Why do I like Qiandao Lake? I think the most fundamental reason is that this hotel meets all my needs for a vacation. It is noisy during the day and quiet at night; there are mountains and rivers, and there are rich ways to play. Traditional lake tours allow you to see the scenery, and newly developed Internet celebrity attractions meet the need for check-in and haircuts. You can stay in a hotel and go shopping when you are tired of staying. I love to taste delicious food, and I will never get tired of eating authentic lakes headed by the fish head of Qiandao Lake, but there is also no shortage of coffee, teahouses, and bars that young people love. So how can people not love such a destination?
Why Sheraton?
Qiandao Lake is so large that the one-way travel time between each lake area may exceed an hour. Each lake area has its own relatively core tourism distribution area, but if the core area of the entire Qiandao Lake is not Qiandaohu Town where Chun'an County is locatedCentral Lake areaIt's the only one.
This is the area where Qiandao Lake was first developed, but fortunately, the environment here, the folk customs here, and everything here maintain a moderate degree of development. However, this is also the most suitable lake area for tourism in Qiandao Lake. It is convenient and fully equipped., concentrated landscape. As the first international brand hotel to open in the entire Central Lake District,Sheraton Green City Thousand Island Lake ResortIt is still the C-rated hotel in this lake area, firmly occupying the center of the entire Qiandaohu Town.
This is the Sheraton!
This is my second time staying at the Sheraton Qiandao Lake. Everything here makes me feel familiar and warm. This shallow U-shaped blue glass building has a pioneering shape that keeps pace with the times and also occupies the excellent platinum first-line lake view of the Central Lake District. It is still a landmark existence today.
The hotel also knows how to amplify its "strengths". There are viewing platforms in many public areas, allowing guests to always have the lake in their eyes, as if they are the owner of the lake every moment at the Sheraton Qiandao Lake.
The outdoor view of the lobby bar, the lobby of Caiyuexuan Chinese Restaurant, the outdoor platform of private rooms, etc., but the lake view that I think is the most amazing in the entire hotel is in the hotel's presidential suite.
This is the most central area on the highest floor of the hotel. The loft-style layout allows there to be a two-story-high giant screen landscape window in the center of the room. When I saw the lake view in the evening here, my mood was only "invincible". The word can describe it!
Of course, all guests staying at the hotel can greedily admire the lakes and mountains of Qiandao Lake at any time, because at this Sheraton, more than 90% of the rooms are lake-view rooms, and all are equipped with balcony views. When you open the curtains, you can lie in bed and the lake view is right in your eyes!

Except for suites, all guest rooms in the hotel have an area of 48 square meters. Except for subtle differences in floors and landscapes, the internal facilities of the guest rooms are almost the same. The stylish and simple design, light colors, and the resting area and the office area perform their duties to meet various daily needs.
Sheraton's signature sleep experience provides me with a comfortable sleep as always. A semi-open design without windows is adopted between the bedroom and the bathroom, and privacy needs are realized through a one-click electric curtain. There is a bathtub in the bathroom, and Gilchrist soames's new oak-scented toiletries from the UK give me a strong sense of the forest and is very suitable for my vacation life.
hotels withSuite with 270-degree lake viewIt is a choice I highly recommend for high-level guests. The suite is located at the top of the west side of each floor (Room No. 20). Almost every space in the room has a lake view, which perfectly explains the naming of the room.
The most amazing thing is of course the bedroom. When the curtains on both sides are pulled open, you can truly have a 270-degree lake view. If you feel that what you can see while lying in bed is still slightly blocked, you may as well walk to the oversized balcony that surrounds it. This truly explains what an "unobstructed 270-degree panoramic view" means, and the landscape of the central lake area is almost panoramic!
In addition, in order to give customers such as large families more choices, the hotel also has special room types such as parent-child lake view suites and platinum three-bedroom suites with lake view. especiallyPlatinum Lake View SuiteI highly recommend it for large families or parties. The suites are all on the fifth floor of the hotel, with a total area of nearly 400 square meters. However, its biggest feature is that each suite has a private terrace with a private swimming pool on the terrace! The swimming pool will be open during the suitable period of travel starting every summer, so it is difficult to find a room in this room type every summer. If you like it, you must lock your room in advance!

As a resort hotel, the Sheraton Qiandao Lake still brings me many surprises. From the moment you step into the hotel, you will feel the rich holiday atmosphere. The main design elements are the ripples and water droplets in the lake and the fish in the lake, which always reminds me of my geographical location.
a semi-circularYiju Lobby BarIt is two-and-a-half stories high, with the lake view as the best. It has an excellent view and a comfortable and smooth view. It is very suitable for sitting around, being in a daze, and chatting here.
The lobby bar provides a variety of light foods and drinks, but I prefer to order a special afternoon tea here. Only by tasting the delicious food with the beautiful scenery can you achieve twice the result with half the effort. The hotel launches afternoon tea with different themes at different times, and in this spring season, it is co-branded with Fendi Casa."Thousand Islands Seeking Fragrance" Afternoon Tea, it is definitely an existence that explodes the circle of friends!
Afternoon tea contains a variety of sweet and salty snacks and two cups of special drinks. The dessert is served with a variety of lime and orange. The color is very suitable for the Fendi brand. It has a pleasant fragrance and low sweetness. One of my favorite is the Orange Fernand Chammousse, which combines the fruit aroma and milk aroma just right. Whether it's asparagus beef roll salad or tuna hamburger, salty spots are both choices for health and taste. In addition to being delicious, this afternoon tea set also comes with good gifts. It is the lime basil scented candle produced by Fendi Casa. It is a good choice for gift giving and personal use.
In my mind, an indispensable element of a perfect vacation must be delicious food. At the Sheraton Greentown Thousand Island Lake Resort, I had no confusion at all in this regard. hotels withCaiyuexuanIt is a very high-quality Chinese food choice. It features local specialties, which not only ensures the excellent quality of the products, but also has a high cost performance ratio. There is no need to worry about uncontrollable dining quality and price in scenic spots.
The special open-air lake view dining is also a unique experience here, which instantly fills the romantic feeling of vacation!
When dining here, the local lake delicacies of Qiandao Lake are highly recommended. The Fish Head King of Qiandao Lake cannot be missed. The method of thick soup has always been my favorite, and no matter how I drink it, I don't feel enough. The special millet stewed fish bubble made from Qiandao Lake fat head fish bubble is tender, smooth and refreshing, and full of collagen.
Oil-fried wild lake shrimp deep-fried Qiandao Lake shrimp until it is crispy, and then drizzle it with soy sauce and oil. The slightly sweet taste is quite a Jiangnan flavor. I highly recommend braised slab fish. Although the fish is small, it is a specialty of Qiandao Lake. The fish meat is firm and tender and smooth, and the method of braising with oil will not cover the umami at all!
There are also good choices for those who prefer meat. The braised local pork uses local paoshan pigs, which are mixed with fat and lean meat and tender; the snowflake beef is full of oil, and the cooking techniques of a combination of Chinese and Western styles, supplemented by clear and sweet peas, is palatable and suitable for the stomach.
In addition to Chinese food, the hotel's all-day restaurantFeast sign Western RestaurantIt's also a pretty good choice.
Unfortunately, the restaurant currently only offers evening buffet on weekends, but my stay is on weekdays and I can only look forward to trying it again next time. But after two days of breakfast, I felt that the buffet dinner here must be worth looking forward to! In addition to the regular and sumptuous Chinese and Western breakfast buffet dishes, there are a large number of local specialties served here, such as Chun'an rice soup, flavored wontons, Qiandao Lake pancakes, dried vegetable tortillas, etc. Even snacks like glutinous rice balls also allow guests to make it yourself and choose your favorite ingredients to make a unique rice ball is both fun and more enjoyable!
After solving the problem of eating, let's think about the problem of playing again. Although Sheraton Greentown Thousand Island Lake Resort is located in the core of the Thousand Island Lake Scenic Area and has no shortage of recreational resources, the hotel itself still provides everyone with a lot of entertainment options to meet the needs of guests of all ages. Indoors, use the pool and gym to meet daily exercise needs.
There is a quiet book corner that provides spiritual food for guests with reading needs. Children can go to the oversized parent-child center and spend time in a variety of fun and unpowered play facilities.
But some of the hotel's most exciting activities are outdoors! There is a huge outdoor activity space here, a garden that integrates an outdoor swimming pool, a small water park, and an artificial beach. I can't help but spend a lot of time here every time, even if the outdoor swimming pool area is not currently open due to the weather.(It opens every year after it warms up from early summer).
I like the flowers and plants in this garden, and I even see late sakura during this season. I also like the mirror pool here, which seems to connect the hotel to the lake.
I will look forward to the joy of swimming in the pool and the joy of barefoot on the beach when summer comes. Will this be the reason for me to visit again in summer?
Walking along the garden path to the bank of the lake, you will find Greentown's water sports center and yacht marina. You can experience various interesting water activities here. This time, I was fascinated by "Big Yellow Duck"!
This is my nickname for this event. It has an official name"Chong duck", it is also quite inspiring! The inflatable big yellow duck is towed by a speedboat to circle around the lake at high speed. It's so cool! Playing around is not enough.
If you want to visit the surrounding attractions, it is also very convenient from the hotel. It is only a 5-minute drive to Qiandao Lake Fish Street to eat and drink, and to Qiandao Lake Square and Yintai City.
If you want to see the scenery, go to the Tianyu Mountain Internet Celebrity Observation Deck, or the Tourist Pier in the Central Lake District to take a boat and ride on the lake for half a day. It takes about 10 minutes by car. It is also a good choice.
This time I chose to travel to Moonlight Island at night from the hotel to the Moonlight Love Pier, which is within walking distance. This is also a rare night tour among all cruise ships in Qiandao Lake. Moonlight Island is a characteristic island recently developed by Qiandao Lake. It adds some technological elements to the originally natural island and introduces a Biennale of Light and Shadow Art to create the characteristics of "Love for Qiandao Lake", which is very suitable for lovers to visit!
Are you excited? Let's go, I will wait for you at Qiandao Lake!
