2025 Kaihua Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

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!

Spring has arrived in Quzhou, and the rapeseed flowers are blooming in a unique way. Entering mid-March, Quzhou's rapeseed flowers are about to usher in a large-scale bloom. In the next month, the entire Quzhou area will turn golden. 📍Location: Taoyuan Village, Changhong Township, Kaihua County, Zhejiang. 🌟Features: Known as the "Potala Palace of Jiangnan"! The most spectacular sight in spring is the rapeseed flowers covering the mountains. You can hike up along the winding paths in the rapeseed fields or take a car up the winding mountain road behind the mountain. The magnificent landscape from top to bottom is breathtaking. ✨Famous for its high-altitude terraced rapeseed flowers, with about 140 acres of rapeseed flowers, the flowering period lasts for about a month. The layered terraced rapeseed flowers are like a golden belt around the mountain. 🌸Best viewing period: Late March to late April

Root Palace Buddha Kingdom! Let the root carvings give you a little shock. There are two things to do in Root Palace Buddha Kingdom!! One is to take pictures, and the other is to be shocked by the root carvings! The garden design of the entire scenic area is very beautiful, with a scene at every step. It is very suitable for ancient style and new Chinese style photography. Sisters, go ahead The entire scenic area is currently open to six spots. It is recommended to start the tour from the South Gate. The whole journey takes about 3-4 hours. You can also consider buying a ticket for the small car in the park and get on it whenever you want. There are many themes of root carvings, and it can be seen that the ambition is to fit all of China's 5,000-year-old civilization into it. The most fun part is the Children's Park, which houses a group of statues of the twelve zodiac animals. Everyone must take a photo with their own zodiac animal! The dog in Figure 1 is very majestic, as much as five or six meters tall. Each zodiac animal is huge and very shocking. The various themes are full of cultural atmosphere. I feel that there is not enough culture when I walk around. From Pangu creating the world to the philosophers of the Spring and Autumn Period, from the 72 sages of Confucius to the 108 generals of the Water Margin, from the 81 chapters of the Tao Te Ching to the 24 Filial Piety Pictures, from the 56 ethnic groups to the important historical figures of various dynasties. Too many to count and too many to see. There are more than 20,000 works in total. If you look at each one carefully, it will probably take a whole day! The potted plants in Zuijing Garden are also unique. Various potted plants are arranged in an orderly manner, lush and green, with shape and style. Each pot looks very precious. The Guanyin in the pagoda is also unique. In the main hall is a ten-meter-high Thousand-armed Guanyin, calm and peaceful. In addition, a series of Guanyin statues are displayed on the second floor. They are of various shapes, vivid and detailed, and every hair is clearly visible. The works are basically taller than a person, and the size and number are shocking enough. Although I am a novice in carving, it does not affect my appreciation of its beauty!

✅When it comes to Zhejiang cuisine, it has to be Quzhou cuisine. Kaihua cuisine must have a place in Quzhou cuisine, and this [Daxing Restaurant] is definitely the leader of authentic Kaihua cuisine! ✅As one of the few century-old restaurants in Kaihua, this restaurant has undergone several relocations and renovations to its current appearance. The older generation of Kaihua people can never forget this restaurant! ✅Kaihua cuisine is mainly fresh and spicy. I would like to recommend a few of their signature dishes which are also authentic Kaihua cuisine - Kaihua green snails (it is recommended to eat them in summer for a better taste), Kaihua clear water fish, stir-fried diced chicken, and braised chicken feet. They are just blind spots and the taste is really amazing! ✅Having said that, their service really cannot compare to the taste of the food. Maybe their service is more casual and seems more homely. Friends who are traveling from other places please bear with us!

Hidden on the top of a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, every cabin here looks like it came out of a painting, nestled against the mountain and water, and next to the sea of clouds. Open the window, and you will see a fairyland in the clouds within reach; close your eyes, and you will hear the gentle wind and the whispers of the mountain stream in the distance. Design As soon as you step into the homestay, you will be deeply attracted by its unique decoration style. The combination of retro and modern, the large bathtub facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the greenery outside the window while taking a bath make you feel like you are living in an oil painting. At night, you can enjoy the starry sky, which is an unimaginable luxury in the city. Room We chose a room with a smart door lock, which is safe and convenient. The room is fully equipped with air conditioning, a refrigerator, a hairdryer, and 24-hour hot water to ensure comfort and convenience during the trip. The most surprising thing is that the homestay does not accept extra beds or cribs, ensuring the privacy and tranquility of each room. Food As for food, the restaurant at Guoyun Mountain Residence perfectly combines authentic mountain delicacies with creative cuisine, and every dish is an ultimate temptation to the taste buds. Dining in the clouds is not only a taste enjoyment but also a visual and spiritual feast. Experience Don't forget to bring your camera or phone, because every frame here is a beautiful wallpaper! From the dawn to the gentle dusk, from the surging sea of clouds to the rolling galaxy, what is captured in the lens is not only the scenery but also the touch of the soul.

✨ The "World's Most Unique Garden" created by the millennium-old tree god, the first national 5A-level tourist attraction in Quzhou City, with over 20,000 root carvings spread across 3 square kilometers. In 2021, it was awarded the title of "World's Largest Root Carving Museum" by the Guinness World Records. —— 🌈 The Root Palace Buddhist Kingdom Scenic Area combines Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, history, and folk culture, creating numerous root carving works, mainly with Buddhist themes. The Five Hundred Arhats, the Laughing Buddha, and the Future Buddha are all made of root carvings, vivid and lifelike. The largest is the main Buddha, Shakyamuni, weighing over 40 tons! However, I personally find the most impressive to be the group of Arhats under the long corridor❗❗ Layer upon layer, with various postures, stretching as far as the eye can see. In addition, there are many idiom root carvings, historical figure root carvings, ethnic theme root carvings... —— 🌈 Besides the root carving landscapes, the scenic area itself is also a large Jiangnan garden, with towering pagodas and Zen-like cloud lakes. As the scenic area is located in the mountains, it is particularly beautiful with mist lingering after the rain. —— 🌿 Kaihua is located at the junction of Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces, known as the "Hometown of Zhejiang Cuisine." I had the impression that Zhejiang people don't eat spicy food, but Kaihua cuisine seems more like Jiangxi cuisine, combining fresh, fragrant, and spicy flavors. Qi cake, green snails, clear water fish, and Suzhuang rice noodles... are all worth trying. —— 🎐 Address: No. 1, Genbo Road, Kaihua County, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province ⏰ Opening hours: May 1 - October 31, 08:30-18:00; November 1 - April 30, 08:30-17:00 🎫 Tickets: Adult ticket 120 yuan; children under 1.3 meters, seniors over 70 years old can enter for free; children between 1.3 meters and 1.5 meters, seniors between 60 and 70 years old, and students can enjoy discounted tickets. —— 🚇 Transportation: ...

From "Kaihua Station," take bus 211 or 212, get off at "Shangmaocheng" station, then walk or take a taxi —— 👉🏻 Tips: ...

In today's society, information is open and transparent, and logistics are well-developed, so it's hard to find a good place that is not known or imitated by the outside world. But if you come to Kaihua, a small city in Zhejiang, you will definitely feel the same as I do: the things here cannot be copied by other cities, and you can only experience them in Kaihua. . 🍲 Clear Water Fish & Kaihua Green Snail, the first time I came to Kaihua, these two delicacies really subverted my perception. 🐟 The old saying goes, "When the water is too clear, there are no fish," but in Kaihua, the farming of clear water fish can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty. Today, there is a Clear Water Fish Museum in Kaihua, and a Clear Water Fish Culture Festival is held. There are also folk customs such as "sticking fish tails," which are unique in the country. 🔩 Kaihua Green Snail is also not found elsewhere. This type of snail is relatively small, with green meat and a more delicate taste, making it irresistible. 📌 Root Palace Buddhist Kingdom, a 5A-level scenic spot in Kaihua, is very suitable for shooting Hanfu. By visiting the root carvings here, you can learn about the world! From gods and Buddhas to the twenty-four filial pieties; from the Qin King to the fifty-six ethnic groups, there are countless root carvings here, and each one is exquisitely carved and can withstand careful scrutiny. Unlike natural scenery, ancient villages, and towns, the world of root carvings is too costly and difficult to replicate elsewhere. So, if you want to travel without following the trend and want to find a unique place, Kaihua is the right choice!

Today, I finally climbed Baishijian, which took 5 hours in total. First, navigate to Linyuan Village, Kaihua, Quzhou, and ask the villagers for the entrance to Baishijian. According to the villagers' instructions, you can park your car in the parking lot at the entrance. There is a closed gate at the entrance, but you can enter from the side. Cars are not allowed to enter. There is a 5 km road from the gate to Zhongdashan, which is now paved with cement. You can drive up, but the gatekeeper said it is not safe, so cars are generally not allowed to enter. We had to talk to the gatekeeper for a long time before he agreed to let us drive to Waishan, and then walk 2.2 km from Waishan to Zhongdashan. From Zhongdashan, we started climbing. The dirt road has been paved with cement steps to the ridge, but we still prefer to walk on the original dirt road. From the ridge to the top of the mountain, it is all rocky road. The last two peaks are on the cliffs, with a deep abyss under your feet, and cold sweat on your back. We have climbed many mountains, but this is the first time we have encountered such a thrilling and exciting peak. I believe that no one dares to claim to be the first if it claims to be the second. Baishijian is the highest peak in Kaihua, with an altitude of 1,453.7 meters. The mountain is full of beautiful pines, amazing rocks, unpredictable clouds, and rhododendron forests. In the cool autumn, climbing Baishijian, the beautiful scenery will make you linger. Kaihua, Quzhou
