Officially recommended routes and the annual festivals. Each names the land and water it links; prices, opening hours and transport change from season to season, so no fixed figures are given — only the official channel and the date the information was checked.

Promotional wording is kept out of the text and used only as a lead to sources; visiting details follow what the site itself publishes.

Festival Festivals and Experiences Birdwatching and Camping at Shijiu Lake Birdwatching and camping on the wetlands and lakeshore flats of Shijiu Lake; the birdwatching season falls in winter, camping mostly in the warm months Birdwatching and camping at Shijiu Lake are two kinds of outdoor experience built on the wetland migratory birds and the lakeshore flats of Shijiu Lake, not a festival with fixed organisers. For birdwatching, the Longmao Grass Sea beside Zhongyang Village in Hefeng Town is one of the popular birdwatching points along the lake, and the district forestry technology extension station organises four specialist teams to observe and record birds along the lake from November to March each year, with twenty-four digital video monitoring devices set up along the shore; the Lishui police have extended ecological policing to the birdwatching front line. For camping, people often camp overnight along the shore and on the flats at Zhangxu Village, Hefeng Town, and the 2023 reply of the district culture and tourism bureau records Luoshan Fireworks Camping Park and the Menghuayuan Flower Sea Camping Base as being among the first officially recommended camping grounds of the municipal culture and tourism bureau. The four-season viewing theme of Shijiu Lake is "grass sea in spring, lake surface in summer, sunset in autumn, swans in winter". The detailed versions of the bird counts and the protection statuses are given in the Wetlands and Migratory Birds entry in this library. Migratory birdsBirdwatchingCamping Confidence: Qualifiedunchecked Standard Tour route Tour Routes Chasing the Waves on the Lake A rural self-drive route in Lishui recommended by the Nanjing culture and tourism platform, built around Shijiu Lake Chasing the Waves on the Lake is one of the two rural self-drive routes in Lishui recommended by the Nanjing Culture and Tourism Information Service Platform in July 2026, built around Shijiu Lake, with a two-day itinerary taking in the Mirror of the Sky at Shijiu Lake, cycling on the lakeside road, the Huize Water Sports Base, the sunset viewpoint over Shijiu Lake and Luoshan Fireworks Camping Park. The piece is promotional writing and gives no start or finish and no distance, so this entry leaves the route length empty and marks the day-by-day itinerary as the July 2026 version. The basin is recorded as Shijiu Lake. LandscapeLakesCamping Confidence: Qualifiedunchecked Standard Tour route Tour Routes Flower-viewing Route A route recommended by the district culture and tourism bureau, built around the Rose Garden and Menghua Garden The Flower-viewing Route is one of the seven boutique holiday routes of beautiful countryside listed by the Lishui District Culture and Tourism Bureau in a work reply, built around the Rose Garden and Menghua Garden (replied October 2025, published December 2025). The reply gives only the name of the route and what it is built around, with no start or finish, distance, intermediate points or mode of travel, so this entry leaves the route length, route points and route mode fields empty and does not infer a basin. Neither core feature has an entry in this library yet; the name Menghua Garden in the reply is not identical with the flower-viewing resort Sanye Menghua Garden recorded on the Nanjing Municipal People's Government website, and as no corroboration has been found that the two are one place, this entry sets down both spellings as they stand. Plum blossomBeautiful countrysideScenic site Confidence: Qualifiedunchecked Standard Festival Festivals and Experiences Lishui Half Marathon Lishui's half marathon in the Wuxiang Mountain area; named the Nanjing Lishui Strawberry Marathon in 2024 and marking its tenth anniversary in 2026 The Lishui Half Marathon is a half marathon held by Lishui District in the Wuxiang Mountain area, and its name varies from year to year: the 2024 event was called the 2024 Nanjing Lishui Strawberry Marathon and the 2026 event the 2026 Nanjing Lishui Half Marathon. The 2024 race was held on 3 March, with a half marathon and a mini run, twelve thousand entrants in all, hosted by the People's Government of Lishui District, Nanjing, and certified by the Chinese Athletics Association; the 2026 race was held on 22 March, with a single half marathon event and ten thousand entrants. The 2026 report calls that year the tenth anniversary but gives no year for the first edition; no year for the first edition has been verified, so this entry does not work one out from the anniversary and fills in no edition number. The course runs through the Wuxiang Mountain area, and the route differs between the two years. MarathonFestivalsLandscape Confidence: Qualifiedunchecked Standard Festival Festivals and Experiences Lishui Plum Blossom Season A district-level plum-viewing event at Fujiabian, Honglan Subdistrict, opened on 21 February 2026 The Lishui Plum Blossom Season is the plum-viewing event organised by Lishui District itself. In 2026 it opened at Fujiabian, Honglan Subdistrict, on 21 February, with a plum market, folk performances and the lighting of the ten-li plum grove at night, and about sixty thousand visitors entered the grounds on the opening day. It is not the same name as the China Nanjing International Plum Blossom Festival, whose sub-venue is at Fujiabian; the sources available give neither the edition number nor the organisers of this event, so this entry fills in neither. The two are set side by side and do not transcribe each other. Plum blossomFestivalsBeautiful countryside Confidence: Qualifiedunchecked Standard Festival Festivals and Experiences Lishui Strawberry Festival Lishui's annual strawberry-themed event; in 2024 the opening ceremony was co-hosted by the municipal agriculture bureau and the district government The Lishui Strawberry Festival is Lishui's annual strawberry-themed event. Its name varies from year to year, and the sources available do not contain the wording "Strawberry Festival": the 2024 event was called the 2024 Nanjing Lishui Strawberry Festival, with a press conference on 18 January and an opening on 1 February under a slogan rendered as "A Good Life with Strawberries, Meeting in Sweet Lishui", running from January to April with seven programme items; the 2025 event was called the 2025 Lishui Strawberry Promotion, opening on 23 February at the Fujiabian strawberry grounds. This entry uses "Lishui Strawberry Festival" as an umbrella name, and the body sets down each year's actual name. The sources give no edition number, and this entry fills in none. StrawberryFestivalsBeautiful countryside Confidence: Qualifiedunchecked Standard Tour route Tour Routes One Mountain, One Lake Self-Drive and Outdoor Route An official route built around Shijiu Lake and Wuxiang Mountain The One Mountain, One Lake self-drive and outdoor route, built around Shijiu Lake and Wuxiang Mountain, is one of the tourist routes planned by Lishui District (the district government's reply to proposal No. 041 of the fourth session of the eleventh district CPPCC, December 2025). The reply gives only the name of the route and what it is built around, with no start or finish, distance or intermediate points, so this entry leaves the route length and route points fields empty and sets out the gap under Practical information. Each of the two core features along the way points to its own entry in this library. LandscapeScenic site Confidence: Qualifiedunchecked Standard Tour route Tour Routes Sweet Picking Route A route recommended by the district culture and tourism bureau, built around Fujiabian and Shitouzhai The Sweet Picking Route is one of the seven boutique holiday routes of beautiful countryside listed by the Lishui District Culture and Tourism Bureau in a work reply, built around Fujiabian and Shitouzhai (replied October 2025, published December 2025). The reply gives only the name of the route and what it is built around, with no start or finish, distance, intermediate points or mode of travel, so this entry leaves the route length, route points and route mode fields empty and does not infer a basin. One of the two core features lies in Honglan Subdistrict and the other in Baima Town, and neither has an entry of its own in this library yet; this entry records only the name and the affiliation given officially and points to the related entries that can be checked. StrawberryBeautiful countrysideScenic site Confidence: Qualifiedunchecked Standard Tour route Tour Routes The Wuxiang Mountain forest trail The Huantianchi forest trail, from the main visitor centre by way of Tianchi to Wuxiang Temple, in three sections The Huantianchi forest trail at Wuxiang Mountain in Lishui runs inside the Wuxiang Mountain scenic area. It starts at the main visitor centre, passes Tianchi, and ends at Wuxiang Temple. It is in three sections, Ducheng Road, Caizi Road and the hundred-step stair. It follows the mountain's existing paths and disused firebreaks and is 6 km long (Jiangsu Provincial Forestry Bureau). A second figure from the scenic area's own website gives about 5.3 km and ends at Tianchi; the two are set side by side. Along the way are more than ten lakes, Tianchi and Wuxiang Lake among them, and the largest bamboo grove in the Nanjing area. This entry covers the trail only, not cycleways or camping grounds.
