Discover Hangzhou’s “matcha lake,” where tall trees rise from emerald-green water. In spring and summer, it’s green on green; in autumn, golden leaves add a whole new glow. Stroll along the boardwalks, watch ducks glide by, or grab a paddle and explore by kayak. With sunlight filtering through the trees, you won’t need a filter—just a little extra space on your camera roll.
One of the nicest ways to enjoy the water forest is on foot. Follow the wooden boardwalks, stop for photos, and take in the view from different angles. Some spots make you want to take a wide shot of the whole forest. Others are all about the little details: a reflection, a patch of sunlight, or a duck swimming between the trees.
There’s no need to rush from one photo spot to the next. Just listen to the birds, and watch the light move across the water. If you’ve already explored West Lake and want a different kind of day out, Qingshan Lake is a lovely addition to your Hangzhou trip.

1Qingshan Lake
Imagine a forest growing straight out of emerald-green water, with sunlight shining through the trees. That’s the magic of Qingshan Lake—a beautiful escape for nature lovers, photo lovers, and anyone ready for a slower day. The water forest is the main attraction. Tiny floating plants cover parts of the surface, giving it that famous “matcha” look. Tall trees, soft reflections, and patches of sunlight make it feel like you’ve stepped into a painting. Different Seasons, Different Vibes In spring and summer, it’s green above and green below. In autumn, the trees turn shades of gold, orange, and rusty red, creating a beautiful contrast with the water. Colors and green coverage change with natural conditions, so every visit looks a little different. Follow the wooden boardwalks through the forest and enjoy the scenery from different angles. Watch ducks glide between the trees, listen to the birds, and stop wherever the light catches your eye.
