Thousand Island Lake or Qiandao Hu as the locals will call it is an extra ordinary place, in Zhejiang Province south of Hangzhou. I recommend that one reads the story of this man-made lake that swallowed up some cities in its making. It is full of spectacular scenery and is a magnet for tourists - I've never seen so many boats! They all seemed to be leaving the harbour to head out to the huge lake at the same time!
At the entrance to the boat harbour where tourists arrive and meet the boat that will take them out onto the lake are some spectacular gardens. I don't know the names of the flowers - many were a mystery to me, but the show was grand. Well worth a visit for the floral displays, but there is much more to this place.
