Have you ever been to Peach Blossom Island, the one in Jin Yong's novels? I bought a ferry ticket to Peach Blossom Island for the first time to experience Jinji Lake in winter. It was a unique experience! ✅️ Lesser-known place to see maple leaves This was the biggest surprise of the trip. I didn't expect it before I arrived. It felt very desolate, but as I walked, I saw red maple leaves blooming. It was a pleasant surprise! 👉 A place to take kids Although it is a bit desolate, you can still take your kids for a walk, take a boat ride, and enjoy the urban scenery along Jinji Lake. It's a good experience! ✅️ Fees Adults: CNY 60 for ferry + admission ticket. Children over 80 cm: half price. This is a bit unfriendly. Ferries to the island depart on the hour, and ferries from the island depart on the half hour. Be sure to check the schedule!
