Location & Accessibility
Thousand Island Lake Riverside Hilton Resort sits right on the shores of China’s crystal-clear Thousand Island Lake, surrounded by mist-covered mountains and endless shades of green. The address is 600 Huanhu Beilu, Chun’an County, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province—easy to find but feels worlds away from city hustle. To get here, fly into Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (~1.5 hours’ drive) or Hangzhou East Railway Station (~2-hour drive). The hotel offers free shuttle buses from the station if you book in advance. For a scenic route, take a bus to Qiandao Lake Town and enjoy a 10-minute lakeside walk to the resort.
Natural Scenery: A Postcard Come to Life
The real star here is Thousand Island Lake itself—a vast reservoir with 1,078 islands dotting its surface like emerald pearls. From your room at the Riverside Hilton, you’ll wake up to panoramic views of shimmering waters and fog-kissed peaks. Rent a boat to explore islands like Meifeng Island (known for its “bird nest” spectacle) or Snake Island (home to harmless, turtle-loving snakes). The lake’s water is so clear you can see fish swimming below—perfect for a quick dip if you dare! At sunset, the golden light reflecting off the water makes the Riverside Hilton’s deck the best spot for photos (and cocktails).
Cultural Touches: Lake Life Simplified
While Thousand Island Lake isn’t packed with historic sites, local life here is a charm. Nearby fishing villages let you peek into traditional Chuanshan culture—try a lakefish feast at the hotel’s restaurant, where recipes date back generations. For a deeper dive, visit the Qiandao Lake Fish Culture Museum (15-minute drive) to learn how “raised fish” became a symbol of wealth in ancient China. The hotel also hosts lake-themed crafts, like making lotus-leaf tea or weaving bamboo boats—fun for kids and adults alike!
Luxe Amenities: Relaxation Redefined
At Thousand Island Lake Riverside Hilton Resort, comfort is king. Rooms come with floor-to-ceiling windows framing lake views, plush beds, and rain showers. The infinity pool on the rooftop blends seamlessly with the skyline, while the Hilton Spa uses locally sourced herbs for treatments. Hungry? The all-day dining restaurant serves both Western classics and Zhejiang specialties (try the spicy fish head stew!). For a romantic night, book a private lakeside dinner under lanterns—fireflies included on warm nights.
Adventure & Leisure: Something for Everyone
Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or a lounge lover, Thousand Island Lake Riverside Hilton Resort delivers. Rent kayaks or paddleboards to explore hidden coves, or cycle along the 30-km lakeside trail that wraps around the resort. For adrenaline junkies, nearby attractions offer zip-lining over forests or diving into the Longxi River (summer only). If relaxation is your vibe, unwind on the hotel’s private beach, join a morning Tai Chi class with a view, or stargaze from the dock after dark.
