Taking advantage of the weekend, I went to Dongqian Lake. Many friends wanted to know what delicious food and where to stay near the boat restaurant in Xiao Putuo Scenic Area.
This time, I have sorted it out. I have sorted it out by collecting all kinds of information from my own on-the-spot visits and using the Internet. Starting from the hotel, then the food, and then the scenic spots and traffic conditions, I will give you a practical and real reference.
Regardless of whether you plan to stay for one night and have an in-depth tour, or just plan to visit for one day, this guide has everything you are looking for.
Some good hotels near the boat restaurant
Let’s talk about accommodation first. The hotel closest to the boat restaurant and with a certain reputation is the Park Hyatt Ningbo. It is located at No. 188 Dayan Road. This hotel itself is an attraction. Needless to say, its environment is definitely not a choice.
If you want a slightly higher cost performance, Dongqian Lake Hengyuan Hotel is located at No. 1000 Huanhu East Road. It has a hot spring and is suitable for families to visit.
Qianhu State Guesthouse At No. 288 Shashan Road, Guozhao serves a quiet and atmospheric restaurant.
I have to make a special mention of the Xiaoyin Shengshui International RV Resort Base. It is located in the Yujiaao Scenic Area on Huanhu East Road in Shangshui Village. Young friends who are eager to experience novel accommodation can give it a try.
In addition, there is a place called Wanjin Radisson Resort Hotel, located on the west side of Dongqian Lake Tourist Resort. Its lake view is not inferior and has unparalleled ornamental value.
Starting from the boat restaurant, if you choose to take a taxi to these hotels, the drive will take about ten minutes. If you drive by yourself, the drive will also take about ten minutes, which is extremely convenient.
Authentic farm food not to be missed
When you are tired from playing, you always have to eat, and there are many farmhouse restaurants to choose from near the boat restaurant.
My appetite is craving for the authentic Dongqian Lake delicacies. Shanyu Lake Farm Cuisine is located at the intersection of Provincial Highway 215 and South Huanhu Road to the southwest. Its representative dishes are braised lake fish and white-cut chicken.
Everyone knows that there is a farm restaurant called Xiao'asi that many old Ningbo people are familiar with. It is located at the intersection of East Huanhu Road and Han Tiantian. In this restaurant, the two dishes of saltwater lake shrimp and white strips with scallion oil are must-orders.
If you prefer a quieter environment, Chengyuange Farm Cuisine is located in a similar place, and Binbin Farm Cuisine is also located in a similar place, and their tastes are quite authentic.
There is an entity called Zhenlu Bicycle Coffee Studio. This entity is located at No. 333 Huanhu South Road. It is a place with quite unique personality. The combination of coffee and lake view makes it suitable for a resting place during afternoon tea time.
By the way, the Floating Restaurant is the restaurant that claims to have the same characteristics as the temple on the hill, and the Dongqian Lake Mountain Restaurant is a long-established farm restaurant. The taste of the dishes is always stable and there is no disappointment.
Surrounding attractions worth visiting
After finishing your meal, don't leave in a hurry. Xiaoputuo Scenic Area itself is a core attraction. The iconic Guanyin on the Water is a must-see.
Not far from the ship restaurant to the east is Taogong Island Scenic Area. This is the legendary place where Fan Li and Xi Shi worked. Its scenery and humanities complement each other.
For those who like mountain climbing, you can go to Dongqian Lake Fuquan Mountain. From the top of this mountain, you can have an unobstructed view of the entire Dongqian Lake.
For families with children, Shuixiu Huaxiang Theme Park is worth recommending. Its specific location is at No. 333 Huanhu South Road, where there are a variety of water play facilities.
The Southern Song Dynasty Stone Carvings Park has unique characteristics. The stone statues that have survived for more than 800 years have a strong sense of history.
besides Dongqian Lake Xiashui Wetland Park , there are few people and beautiful scenery, suitable for walking and relaxing.
What's the most convenient way to take the bus?
Friends who don’t travel by car don’t need to worry. The bus stop in the center of the lake is on Tao Highway. It is very close to the Lishuan Restaurant and can be reached in just a few minutes.
Mashan Leisure Camping Bus Station and Erlingshan Hot Spring Bus Station Also along Huanhu East Road.
If you are coming from Ningbo city, you can take bus 906. You can take bus 906, you can also choose bus 960, and you can also take bus 901. Take these buses to Dongqian Lake Tourist Service Center and transfer, or take Metro Line 4 directly to Dongqian Lake Station. After exiting the station, transfer to the lake bus to reach Xiaoputuo.
You have to remember to download an APP called Ningbo Bus and use it to check the relevant information of the vehicle's arrival station in real time, so that you can save a lot of time waiting for the bus.
