Longquan Citywalk, a severely underrated treasure of a small town amidst mountains and rivers
I have been to Lishui many times, but this is my first visit to Longquan,
and I feel like I've discovered a new world, a very beautiful small town with mountains and rivers,
located at the border of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi, known as 'the thoroughfare for post horses and the throat of merchants and travelers', with beautiful natural scenery and profound historical and cultural heritage,
especially the celadon and sword cultures of Longquan, which are renowned worldwide.
Staying in Longquan for a few days feels very comfortable and pleasant,
just like the song says, full of joy and happiness, with so much to gain.

An immersive, high aesthetic value town with a sense of time travel, where you can understand the culture of Longquan swords and even dress up in ancient costumes for a time-travel experience.
⭐️ Tips: Free admission.
✅ Songyun West Street, Sanjiangkou
The West Street, filled with the atmosphere of human life, once carried many historical stories and memories of growth for many generations, is now rejuvenated, ancient yet full of youthful and fashionable vibes. On one side is Sanjiangkou, where Longquan is the source of the Ou River, Min River, and Qiantang River, with the Diezhang Tower on Jiugu Mountain, the Liucha Pavilion on Liuchazhou, and the Huayan Pagoda on Chessboard Mountain echoing each other, a sight too beautiful to describe.
⭐️ Tips: Free admission, there are many teahouses and restaurants with a view of Sanjiangkou, such as Wucang Restaurant, very comfortable and enjoyable.
✅ Taoxi Chuan Cultural and Creative District
A very nice retro and fashionable district to stroll around, with art galleries, bookstores, cafes, etc. The architecture here is very design-oriented, and it's also a great place for photography.
⭐️ Tips: Free admission.
✅ Bamboo Wedding Experience of the She Ethnic Group
A unique ethnic township with a beautiful ecological environment and unique folk customs, especially the She ethnic group's wedding culture, which is very interesting and impressive.
✅ Zhulong Scenic Area
Known as 'Zhejiang's Little Jinggang', red is the 'base color' of Zhulong, and green is its 'true color', with pristine natural ecology, a paradise on earth, very suitable for leisure and vacation.
✅ Longquan Mountain
The main peak, Huangmaojian, is 1929 meters high and is known as the 'highest peak in the Yangtze River Delta'. Plateau lakes, alpine meadows, sea of clouds, and rime are among the many unique natural wonders of the plateau, with beautiful scenery and fresh air, very enjoyable.
Longquan Mountain deposit photos, previously taken in Longquan Mountain, Longquan Mountain cloud, Longquan Mountain Fengyang Lake! Especially beautiful! The place to take single photos is Fengyang Jian! You can consider going to Longquan Mountain on May 1st to watch the sunrise and sunset, especially beautiful!
Longquan Mountain's clear water like mint, sunset like ripe peaches, reluctant to leave, if this summer must go to a place to travel, come to Longquan Mountain!
180 packages, including tickets, ropeway, Jingjiao, feel good value for money. So in fact, take the cableway and Jingjiao car to Orion Villa and then go to various attractions. You can climb Huang Maojian (the height is more than 1900 meters, which is the first peak in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, right? It's so cold haha), go to the cliff pine, alpine meadow, Lijiang source, and a Grand Canyon. There are really few people here, I feel that I have found a treasure, there is an illusion that it is not a National Day holiday haha~ In short: highly recommended, especially when there are not many people who know this place now, come early haha~
The attractions are very good, very close to the original natural scenery, pure natural scenery is better than Xiandu and Guyan Painting Township, the water is really clear, it is really spring water green like blue. The disadvantage is that the traffic is really bad. Longquan itself is inconvenient for transportation. There is no bus from Longquan City to the scenic spot. I asked local talents to know that there is a shift at 7:30 in the morning and 5:30 in the afternoon. Basically equivalent to a staff shuttle bus. Locals can drive by themselves, and the cost of taxis for foreigners is still high.
The peak season here is 789 summer, you can come to escape the heat, but there will be a lot of people, so I chose to travel in the off-season winter in March, basically equivalent to the package of this mountain, there are very few people, but the service is very good, the focus is really a day can not finish, I thought I could finish it in a day, It is recommended that you must stay for one night. The chefs here are very delicious. The service staff are very amiable. It is recommended to allocate time and go to two attractions every day.
Not on weekends, there are very few people, this praise. Basically, it is the original ecological landscape, friends who like nature can rest assured. Some logos are not clear enough, and people with a poor sense of direction will have a problem. Overall it is still very good.
Very cool and beautiful! Must come every summer vacation!
Inaccessible, beautiful scenery
