Huangshanjian Peak
黄山尖
A hilltop viewpoint on the southeast arm of Qiandao Lake, where you can see the islands arranged into the characters “Tian Xia Wei Gong” (“All under heaven is for the public good”), the view often used in promotional photos of the lake.
Huangshanjian is the main island stop on the southeast arm’s boat routes. From the summit viewing platform you can look down on a cluster of about 90 islands arranged in a pattern known as “Tian Xia Wei Gong,” and it ranks alongside Meifeng Island in the central lake area as one of Qiandao Lake’s two top island viewpoints. You can climb from the pier by stairs or take the cable car, and the visit takes about 1.5 hours. It is often combined with Mishan Island and Guihua Island into a one-day southeast arm itinerary. Boat and island entry tickets follow the official announcements.
