After visiting Quzhou, the locals all praised my travel guide
After visiting Quzhou, the locals all praised my travel guide.|||
I spent two days in Quzhou and felt incredibly happy! I'm glad I did my research on the travel guide! There were delicious foods and fun places to visit!
Firstly, regarding transportation, I arrived at Quzhou Station, which is very close to the city center. Coming out of Quzhou Station, you'll find Wanda Plaza right there, which is super convenient. The attractions in Quzhou are quite concentrated, so you can get to them by walking or by bus, which is very convenient.
For accommodation, we stayed at a place near Shuitingmen which was newly opened in 2024. The environment was particularly nice, and it was very clean inside! Highly recommended!
Places to visit:
1️⃣ Shuitingmen, a must-visit attraction in Quzhou. We went there both in the evening and during the day. You can go up on the city wall to take photos. Shuitingmen looks especially beautiful at night, and there are some places to eat and stroll around nearby, but there's no need to buy anything.
2️⃣ Luming Mountain Cultural District has a super large lawn where many people come for picnics and outings. It's perfect for a slow-paced lifestyle and great for bringing kids to play and fly kites. There's also a distinctive red house nearby, which is a good spot for taking photos. And there are deer on the road! There's a special place where you can feed the deer, which is great for kids!
3️⃣ Songyuan Vegetable Market is a local market. We went there close to noon, and the whole street was filled with special local foods! The bagged pancakes were delicious, remember to add a fried dough stick! There are also special rice balls, roast duck, egg pancakes, duck heads, and so on. Basically, all the special local foods are here, and there's no need to queue for a long time.
4️⃣ Yaowang Mountain, a must-visit for those who love mountains and waters. Yaowang Mountain is truly a hidden gem with beautiful scenery and not many people. It's a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and breathe fresh air. There's also a glass walkway and a glass slide on the mountain! The glass slide is really fun! I suggest everyone go and try it out! We took a bus there, which goes directly to Yaowang Mountain, and it takes about 2 hours to climb.
There are many other attractions, such as the Confucius Temple, which was not open when we visited, but it's expected to open on May 1st!
Food section:
This time, I asked many locals and didn't queue up at those super popular internet-famous stores. The duck heads and other dishes in Quzhou are actually quite good at any random roadside store, so there's no need to queue for hours at internet-famous stores.
1️⃣ Lei Ji Spicy Hot Pot The spicy hot pot in Quzhou is really unique and delicious, a taste not found elsewhere. This store is said to be a place where locals have been eating since they were children.
2️⃣ ocake After eating at Lei Ji Spicy Hot Pot, this is a dessert shop with a really cool decor. It's very suitable for taking photos, and the desserts are super delicious! Highly recommended to try!
3️⃣ Xie's Kitchen Delicious Quzhou cuisine! The place was almost full of locals, which shows the value of this restaurant. We went to the one on He Wu Road, which is very close to Quzhou Station. Their mouth-watering chicken is a classic and unique to their restaurant! The garlic shrimp with vermicelli is also delicious! And they serve rice in an electric rice cooker, which is really cute!
4️⃣ Little West Gate Pizza A pizza place opened by a foreigner locally! A 10-inch large pizza is only 33 yuan! I was shocked! We ordered the roasted chicken pizza, the most classic and delicious!
5️⃣ Quzhou Renjia Their dishes are also particularly delicious! Stir-fried pork, dry pot green beans with beef, and more!

Good
Address: Huangtankou Township, Qujiang District
Tickets: Entrance tickets 65, scenic spot tickets + glass plank road + glass slide 129 (I recommend buying this one!!)
Transportation: It is recommended to drive there by yourself, because it is far from the city. Or take a taxi for about 40 minutes, the return journey is troublesome, it is difficult to take a taxi, it is best to take a bus , about an hour and a half back to the city)
We came to play during the National Day holiday, there were very few people, if you want to go outdoor climbing, watch waterfalls, and oxygen rush!
It took two and a half hours to climb to the top of the mountain, and it took some time to take pictures along the way. It is recommended to go down the mountain by the glass plank road + slide, which saves two-thirds of the journey, otherwise you can only return the same way, which is quite tiring
You can also play rafting in the rainy season, but the time is not right now, the water is relatively small, and the rafting spot has been closed
Bridge: Anywhere along the way, under a bridge, the water and stones are very beautiful and photogenic, the water is clear and bottomless, and there are small fish to catch
Ponytail Waterfall: Don't go to the bottom of the waterfall, there are many people and less water, it's not photogenic, take pictures at the railing in the middle of the waist, it's the most photogenic!
Glass Plank Road: This is the top of the entire scenic area, looking far away, the mountains are stacked, the blue sky and white clouds, it is very beautiful to climb high and look far
Glass Slide: Equipped with hip pants, shoe covers, gloves, very safe. The downhill slide has about ten bends. If you want to speed up, put your legs together. If you want to slide slowly, open your legs and put them on both sides. The anti-skid friction of the hip pants is very sufficient. You can slide boldly and safely. Be sure to pay attention to your hands and stretch them forward on the side rails for safer sliding!
Note: Tickets purchased online must be purchased two hours in advance to enter the park!!!
