In Qingshan Lake, Hangzhou, I found the entrance to hide in the Wizard of Oz

In a 39°C summer, there's still a reason to hide among trees and shadows～Forest sprites respawn randomly; on weekends, oxygen inhalation restores 100º of vitality.

🎫 Money-saving guide: Adults 40 / Students 20; Hangzhou Private Cultural Tourism Card 29.9r (unlimited access for one year); Kayak single 120/hour, double 220/hour.

🚇 Take Metro Line 16 to Qingshan Lake Exit D → 1-yuan shuttle bus / or navigate your car to “Water Forest Parking Lot.”

🦌 Encounters: Sika deer (near the camping area between 2-3 PM—bring deer biscuits and they’ll chase after you), mallard ducks, black swans (more likely when boating).

📸 Photo spots: The water boardwalk with no railings on the left after entering; kayaks on the lake (the best light is between 3-5 PM on sunny days).

⚠️ Tips: Plan for 2-3 hours of playtime; bring a small fan, cooling patches, electrolyte drinks, and snacks (fewer supply points available). Recommended outfits: white or black long dresses.
