Lion City

Qiandao Lake lies in Zhejiang Province which is about 400km away from Shanghai. The lake covers 573 sq. Km and there are 1078 islands in the lake region.

From April to October is the best season for vacation. The beautiful scene of the lake and great food will leave you a fantastic memory.

Our exclusive trip to Lion City which was built in Dong Han period(25 - 200), first was setup as county in 208, it was named "Lion City" because of the "Wu Shi mountain (Five Lion Mountain)" that sits just behind the city.

In September 1959, the Xin Anjiang Dam designed by china started construction to create a reservoir, 290,000 people were relocated from the city which they\'ve lived for over one thousand years. The reservoir was designed to flood any area below an altitude of 108m above sea level putting Lion city at 30-40m underwater.
