📍 China
Qiandaohu Railway Station is in Wenchang, in Chun’an County within Hangzhou’s administrative area, rather than in central Hangzhou. Opened in 2018 on the Hangzhou–Huangshan high-speed railway, it serves as a gateway to Qiandao Lake, with an onward journey required to reach Qiandaohu Town and the main visitor areas. The lake’s name means “Thousand Island Lake”: its wooded islands are former hilltops left above water when the Xin’an River was dammed in 1959. The station connects this mountainous corner of western Zhejiang to the wider rail network, while its name recalls a landscape transformed by hydroelectric engineering.
