Post-COVID-19 Team Building Tour Guide to Qiandao Lake (Part 2): Qiandao Lake Food
In my previous article, I talked about the attractions of Qiandao Lake. This time, I'd like to talk about the food of Qiandao Lake because I'm a practitioner in team building tours, and we tend to eat a lot of team meals. These team meals are mainly sourced from collaborations with hotels and farmhouses. Each hotel and farmhouse has its own signature dishes. Here's a list of Qiandao Lake delicacies I recommend.
1Golden Carp (Golden Grouper) This is the most representative dish of Qiandao Lake.
The fish in it grow up drinking a slightly sweet 'Farmer's Spring' water.There are many ways to cook Qiandao Lake fish heads, such as stewing, boiling, or making a dish that can be enjoyed in two ways.
After trying many dishes in hotels and farmhouses, my first recommendation is clay pot fish head. You can tell if the fish head is well-cooked with the first bite, The soup is milky white and fragrant.Image from the internet

At this time, some friends will ask where you can find the above-recommended snacks and small dishes? Qiandao Lake Town is not very large, if you want to find snacks and small dishes, it's actually on the side of the Qianhu North Road in Qiandao Lake Town, where you can basically find them, such as the steamed buns, roasted buns, rice cakes, corn cakes, and rice porridge mentioned above,
If you want to eat food at a farm house, basically every farm house has its own signature dishes. I've been to several farmhouses near Qianhu Oxygen Forest and Qianhu Beer Town, and the taste is pretty similar, all cooked in a farmhouse style,
If you want to eat fish head, I suggest you go to larger businesses, with clear pricing and guaranteed quality.
Qiandao Lake is located in the western mountains of Zhejiang Province, so the taste tends to be spicy. If you don't like spicy food, you need to let the vendor know in advance.
