Qiandao Lake, located in Chun'an County, west of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province is one of the first-class national scenic spots and is the largest national forest park at present. The lake covers five hundred and seventy square kilometers including over one thousand islands of different sizes.

The average depth of the water here is more than one hundred feet and the visibility in the water is 22-29 feet. As national first-class water it is so pure that it can be drunk directly.
