Location & Accessibility
Qiandao Lake Beer Spa is nestled in Qiandao Lake Town, Chun’an County, Hangzhou. This spot is part of the Qiandao Lake Beer Town, located at 669 Muzhou Avenue. It’s a hidden gem in the heart of Zhejiang Province, surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of Qiandao Lake and lush mountains. Getting here is a breeze: take a high-speed train to Qiandao Lake Station (about 1.5 hours from Hangzhou East Railway Station), then a short taxi or bus ride to the beer town. If you’re driving, it’s an easy route from Hangzhou, with scenic views along the way.
Natural Scenery: Lake, Mountains, and Relaxation
The crown jewel of Qiandao Lake Beer Spa is its connection to Qiandao Lake, China’s “lake with a thousand islands.” The water here is famously clear—locals say you can see your fingers through it! While soaking in the beer-themed hot springs, you’ll gaze at rolling hills and tiny islands dotting the lake. At night, the lights from the beer town reflect on the water, creating a magical atmosphere. Nature lovers can also hike nearby trails or rent a bike to explore the shoreline.
Cultural Charm: Beer, History, and Local Vibes
Qiandao Lake Beer Spa isn’t just about relaxation—it’s a tribute to China’s craft beer scene. The attached Qiandao Lake Beer Museum showcases the history of brewing in the region, with interactive exhibits and samples. You’ll learn how local hops and mineral-rich spring water make the beer here unique. The spa itself blends wellness traditions with beer culture: try a “beer bath” infused with barley and hops, or a herbal pool inspired by ancient Chinese remedies.
Practical Amenities for a Perfect Day
The facilities at Qiandao Lake Beer Spa are designed for comfort. There are indoor and outdoor hot spring pools, including private options for couples. After soaking, grab a meal at the on-site restaurant, which serves beer-infused dishes (like braised pork with dark beer) and fresh lake fish. For overnight stays, the beer town has cozy hotels and inns with lake views. Bonus: There’s a mini amusement park with games, karaoke, and even a beer-tasting room for kids!
