Quzhou Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Nianbadu Ancient Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Tian'erdu Ancient Town, a unique Quzhou ancient town
It's really quite different from other ancient towns in Zhejiang, as if it's a forgotten corner, exquisite and powerful, built against the mountains, with a touch of mystery, and a bit of the flavor of Guizhou and Yunnan.
Quzhou Jiangshan Twenty-Eight Villages
Take the train to Jiangshan Station, and there is a bus outside the station that goes directly to the ticket office of the Twenty-Eight Villages scenic area. You will pass several different small attractions on the way, so be careful not to get off the bus too early.
It's really, really, really small (probably the smallest ancient town I've been to), mainly just one street with a row of houses on each side.
If you're specifically coming to Twenty-Eight Villages to check in, I really don't recommend it; but if it's just a stop along the way and you're casually checking in, it's still worth a stroll.
Rated as the most beautiful ancient town by National Geographic, I regret only discovering it now
There are many beautiful ancient towns in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai,
Xitang, Wuzhen, Shaoxing, Nanxun ancient towns,
but they are all too crowded.
This time, in Jiangshan, Quzhou, I found a very special and niche ancient town, the Twenty-Eight Town.
Located at the junction of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi provinces, its architecture blends styles from different regions, with Quanzhou's Minnan characteristic orange-yellow bricks and tiles, and the walls of Huizhou-style architecture. The buildings are densely packed, and wandering among them feels very interesting. As a 5A tourist attraction, it is very low-key, and the place is full of the New Year atmosphere during the Spring Festival. If you don't want to be in a crowded place, you can come here with your family for a visit.
On the first day, go straight to the Twenty-Eight Town. Self-driving is really convenient; the ancient town is right off the highway. Let me share some of the Spring Festival activities here.
1. Year of the Dragon Art Exhibition
The intangible heritage bamboo-woven dragon installation is already being set up. The local elders are diligently weaving the dragon shapes, all of which are exquisite. The exhibitions are located at Wenchang Palace, Zhupo Bridge, Dongsheng Bridge, and the small square of the foreign goods store.
2. New Year Garden Event
Immerse yourself in the ancient Twenty-Eight Town, with Song Dynasty vendors hawking along the streets, ready for a photo op at any moment, and a traditional New Year market showcasing local specialty foods and various interesting handicrafts.
3. New Year Concert
During the Spring Festival, big stars will drop in, like Gao Shengmei and Nan Quan Mama, all part of my youth memories. Who didn't listen to 'Orange Soda' and 'Rainy Day' when they were young?
On the second day, you can go to Jianglang Mountain, also a 5A scenic spot, with scenery that I think is no less impressive than Huangshan, and a great experience.
If you come here during the Spring Festival, not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery, but you can also check in at the One-Line Sky Fortune Path, which is a hundred-meter-long fortune path created by the young artist Qin Xinyuan, combining the One-Line Sky attraction of Jianglang Mountain. Climbing up the steps, you rise higher with each step, and it's predicted to be a popular spot during the Spring Festival.
Of course, there are other great places in Jiangshan:
1. Qingyang Scenic Area
With its ancient charm, it has produced 8 Shangshu (high officials) and 83 Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) in history, making it a famous cultural village.
2. Fugai Mountain
A mountain spanning three provinces, with unique landforms and shapes, the main peak is 1146.4 meters high, with various tunnels through the mountain, quite adventurous.
3. Xianxia Pass
The place is not large, but it is rich in historical heritage. Those who like history can come and see it. It is one of China's four ancient passes, along with Jianmen Pass, Hangu Pass, and Yanmen Pass.
Zhejiang's only free 5A ancient town, don't just go to the crowded Wuzhen! Bai Juyi's crazy confession
Zhejiang's only free 5A ancient town, don't just go to the crowded Wuzhen! Bai Juyi's crazy confession is so beautiful that it takes your breath away, and the prices are still low...
It is the Twenty-Eight Du Ancient Town in Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province.

Longyou Grottoes | The Ninth Great Wonder of the World
Longyou Grottoes, also known as the Underground Pyramids, are hailed as the Ninth Great Wonder of the World.
Having never been to the Longyou Grottoes, I've always been fascinated by them and wanted to explore what they're all about. On February 8th, I visited the grottoes and experienced firsthand the difficulty and hardship ancient people must have faced when carving out these caves. Moreover, considering the lack of advanced technology in the past, how did they manage to construct such deep grottoes in an environment filled with carbon dioxide, where even candles would extinguish?
I also looked into the history of the grottoes. On June 9, 1992, Wu A'nai and three other villagers used four water pumps to drain water for 17 days and nights, finally revealing another mystery of the world that could be compared to UFOs. Led by Wu A'nai, they entered a mysterious underground world, grand and spectacular, full of bewildering wonders.
All five caves are connected, making the visit very convenient, walking from one to the next. The entire tour takes about 30-40 minutes to complete.
How to book?
Follow the Quzhou Culture and Tourism official WeChat account, click on the free tour, and all scenic spots in Quzhou are free to visit on weekdays. If you have time, you can come on a weekday to climb Jianglang Mountain, Lanke Mountain, Medicine King Mountain, and visit the Sanqu Stone Forest, as well as explore the Twenty-Eight Towns and the Root Palace Buddha Land.

If you still don't know where to go for the New Year, remember to send this note to your family when you see it, it's worth a rush for the New Year‼️
The 4A famous mountain in Zhejiang, which is known for its cave exploration, will be free of charge in 2024
For those who like to explore "magical" places, it's a great experience to visit some unexplainable and unique places!
For example, the first strange stone in Sanjin, Shanxi Zhiguo Stone, the 30 degrees north latitude Huashan Mystery Cave, the "natural yearbook" of earth and geological science Huguangyan, the world's four major natural mysteries Shennongjia, the Emei Buddha Light on Mount Emei, the lost Dali Jinso Island, and the mountainous area of 100,000 mountains, which has been a mountain range since ancient times, are all mysterious places that everyone is rushing to!
In fact, what you don't know is that there is a magical scenic spot in Zhejiang, which has the characteristics of "one mountain across three provinces" and "cave exploration", which is really eye-catching in 2024. You can come and challenge it when you have time.
The mountain I'm talking about is Fugai Mountain. Because the main peak is stacked with stones, the lower one is like a plate, and the upper one is like a cover, it is named "Fugai Mountain". The main peak is 1146.4 meters above sea level, with a total area of 14.40 square kilometers.
Unlike other mountains, Fugai Mountain spans Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi provinces. You can overlook the junction of the three provinces from the top, and if you're lucky, you can see the sea of clouds!
After starting to challenge the mountain, you will find that this mountain is really "honest", there is no cable car or other means of transportation, there are two roads for walking, one is the adventure road (cave exploration), the other is the step road, and the two roads are intertwined with each other, almost every cave has a step road to walk, you can explore the cave, or walk!
For the first time visitors, you can follow the route: Visitor Center - Lotus Cave - Die Shi Temple - Three Die Shi - Viewing Platform - Fugai Mountain Top - Viewing Platform - Three Die Shi - Die Shi Temple - Aotu Rock Face - Lotus Pond - Visitor Center.
What needs to be noted is that you can climb the Lotus Cave up the mountain, but it is not recommended to take the Lotus Cave down the mountain, which is more dangerous!
On the way up the mountain, you will find that the mountain is really great, challenging in the combination of climbing and cave exploration! You can walk up the plank road steps, or shuttle in the original mountain stones, occasionally you will see a lot of pictographic stones, use your imagination, you can get a lot of surprises!
After reaching the top, the scenery of the main peak is really "beautiful", the clouds that are within reach, the tough and upright mountain body, the lush forest, the small town with the smell of fireworks, a gust of wind blows, fully experiencing the feeling of "overlooking all the small mountains"! It's like being in God's perspective, that experience is indescribable!
For those who drive by themselves, you can drive to the halfway point near an altitude of more than 500 meters, and then hike up more than 600 meters to the highest peak of 1146.4 meters.
Moreover, Fugai Mountain has another highlight, that is, it is usually free from Monday to Friday, and charges are only on holidays and weekends.
For those who like to check in, you can focus on taking pictures of Lijian Peak, Shilian Pool, Xianzhang Stone, Xianrenji, Bishi Peak, One Line Sky, Longchi Longdong, Songyan Cave, Shuangsun Stone, Xianren Peak, Chessboard Stone, Donggua Stone Toad Stone, Fugai Mountain Top, Three Die Stone, Baihua Rock, Lishan Temple, Die Shi Temple, Dayun Temple.
Among them, One Line Sky is worth staying, because it is located to the east of Bishi Peak, and is a rock fissure type cave. The cave entrance is only a narrow foot wide, and the top and bottom are like one. The climb to the top of Fugai Peak is from this fissure, which is very interesting.
Fugai Mountain Tourist Tips:
The ticket is 45 yuan , located 3 kilometers south of Twenty-eight Du Town, Jiangshan City, Quzhou, Zhejiang Province. Take Jiangshan 311 Road to Station and walk. It is recommended to drive by yourself.
The feeling of climbing Fugai Mountain is very good, the adventure road section designed with special terrain is very interesting, the photos are also good-looking, it will pass through caves, climb stone piles, climb stairs, cross single-plank bridges and other terrains, it is fun and not tired!

Root Palace Buddhist Culture Tourist Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
This park is a fantastic place which is worth visiting in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province. There is huge carving sculptures and great lakes with carving zoo animals museum. Also there is ice palace, where the temperature is lower than 0°degree. There is many sculptures made from ice cube. From October there is opened a glass bridge under the park and there is every day shows with light and music from 6.30 p.m. The prices are not cheap but I highly recommend to visit that place!
With a single stroke, the universe is carved
In Kaihua County, Quzhou, Zhejiang, there is the 5A Root Palace Buddha Country Cultural Tourism Area, also known as "Kaihua County Root Expo Garden". It is estimated that most people in China have not visited, but this place will definitely amaze you with its breathtaking root carving art.
Each and every one of the root carving works, crafted from precious woods, is lifelike and exhibits a myriad of postures, truly unparalleled and of extremely high artistic value. Hence the saying, "With a single stroke, the universe is carved."
The entire scenic area is absolutely unique in the world of tourism landscapes. It conveys philosophy through roots and carries humanistic connotations with natural charm, blending root carving, stone appreciation, bonsai, and ancient garden architecture. It integrates five thousand years of China's exquisite traditional culture with strange roots and woods, creating a tranquil and elegant picture of harmony between man and nature, captivating visitors to linger and indulge.
If you have the chance, you must go there to see and appreciate it!
Check out the lesser-known 5A scenic spot in Zhejiang - the Root Palace Buddha Land in Kaihua, Quzhou
Visiting Quzhou during the May Day holiday is a wise choice! Compared to other places, Quzhou is truly a rare paradise, with few people and beautiful scenery. I highly recommend everyone to come and experience it~
⭐⭐Root Palace Buddha Land Cultural Tourism Area⭐⭐
I want to introduce you to a unique tourist holy land in the world - the Root Palace Buddha Land. This is the only tourist area in the world themed on root culture, worthy of being a national 5A-level tourist scenic spot! Here, you can appreciate thousands of large-scale root art works, including more than a thousand giant root carvings of Buddhist culture series. These works perfectly combine root carving art and Buddhist culture, giving people a sense of shock. For example, there is a root carving Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, weighing 40 tons and reaching 9.9 meters high (Figure 3), which is simply amazing!
🚔Transportation: It's very convenient to drive or take a taxi!
🎫Ticket: The usual ticket price is 80 yuan, and it will be slightly more expensive on holidays
⏱️Opening hours: From 8:30 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon
⌛Tour time: Half a day is recommended for touring, but if you have enough time, it's suggested to spend a whole day!
🔍Tour tips:
1. The scenic area is very large, with south and north entrances, please plan your route in advance.
2. In addition to root carving art, there are many other highlights, such as the aerial glass plank road (Figure 5) and the peacock pavilion. There are also wonderful 'Root Palace Night Banquet' performances in the evening, with a wide variety of content.
3. This place is very suitable for relaxing, walking around and appreciating, and you can also take very classical photos haha. What's even better is that there are fewer people during the off-peak tourist season, so you can enjoy the tranquility and the fun of taking photos.
The trip to the Root Palace Buddha Country in Quzhou, Zhejiang, is less crowded and niche
🚶🏻♂️The Root Palace Buddha Country is a root carving culture museum located in Kaihua County, Quzhou City. It is a 5A-level scenic spot, about an hour and a half's drive from Quzhou city center.
👉🏻The museum mainly exhibits the works of Master Xu Guqing and his disciples. The main theme is Buddhist statues, and there are also historical, mythological, and animal-themed statues. The Maitreya Buddha Hall and the Five Hundred Arhats Hall are very shocking. I especially like the Arhat Hall. The five hundred Arhats have different postures, their expressions are vivid and natural, their eyes are bright, and they seem to be about to speak to me the next second. The exhibition line design is also very smooth. The order of the exhibits in the History and Culture Hall is very confusing.
👉🏻The garden landscape in the scenic spot is also great. It is professionally designed, not the kind of forced assembly line landscape. There are 15 small white cars in the scenic area, which can be called and stopped at any time, which is very convenient. Finally, I have to complain about the shopping point at the exit. It's very long. A short 10-meter straight line distance has made almost four hundred meters of shopping channels. I thought I was in the wrong place several times.
🏞️Scenic Spot Features:
✅Root Carving Works
The Buddha statues with different postures and lifelike appearances, a total of more than 4,000 root carving works are shocking.
✅Glass Skywalk
The original price is 60, and it was half price when I went. Friends who are not afraid of heights must go. You can overlook the entire scenic area from above, which is especially beautiful.
✅Less Crowded
Going there once feels like a private booking.
💰Ticket: Night scene 55/person, refundable at any time. (Daytime 120/person, free admission from Monday to Friday on non-holidays.)
The overall play time is 3-4h
