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

I've found another stunning waterfall hidden in the mountains within Quzhou territory. Though the mountains are silent, they are not without sound. Today, I'm sharing a scene of wondrous harmony between trees and waterfall, located to the southwest of Quzhou City, featuring cascading streams, layered peaks, and lush greenery! Changshan Bridge Pavilion's Dakeng Waterfall is one of the countless waterfalls in Quzhou, but this one showcases the beauty of nature's pairing to perfection. The drop is not immense, yet the deadwood and green leaves of the primeval forest complement the light blue water, creating an immediate sense of a dark willow and bright flowers, making both landscape and portrait photography exceptionally stunning!

Quzhou is about to host Zhejiang Satellite TV's 📺New Year's Eve Concert🎤. When I was making travel guides📜 online, I saw a beautiful B&B and decided to explore the area for my kids in advance. The B&B is located in a valley⛰, surrounded by green mountains🎋, and the air is very good. The architectural style of the entire B&B is that of the Republic of China, with an independent tea room🍵, multi-function hall💻, book bar📚, restaurant🥙 and private rooms.

The super-large and soft bed was very relaxing. I haven't enjoyed such a good sleep for a long time. 🍽Food: The breakfast at the B&B is very rich, with local special snacks, allowing you to experience the food culture of Quzhou. You can dine in the restaurant of the B&B at night. The dishes here are grown by the villagers at the foot of the mountain.

This time, I had a layover in Quzhou for one night on my way to Jiangxi for a business trip. I was initially worried about the hassle of dragging my luggage around, but unexpectedly, the randomly chosen [Atour Hotel Quzhou Railway Station Wanda Plaza] turned out to be incredibly comfortable. They even gave us a farewell gift at checkout! Sharing this gem with all my fellow travelers for layovers or short trips—this one’s a win! After exiting Quzhou Station, just walk straight along Chengzhan West Road for 15 minutes, and you’ll spot the iconic Atour logo.

Plus, the hotel is right next to Wanda Plaza, so you can grab some Quzhou snacks at the mall before checking in—no time wasted. Attractions like Confucius Temple and Shuitingmen are just a short taxi ride away (starting fare distance), perfect for a quick visit if you have time to spare. I booked a Deluxe King Room—minimalist design, spacious and bright, with no oppressive feeling. Atour’s Plante mattress truly lives up to its reputation! With 8-layer springs and dual-sided soft/firm design, even a picky sleeper like me dozed off effortlessly. And surprise—free silver ear fungus soup at 9:30 PM! The hotel’s self-service laundry room was a lifesaver, especially since my business trip clothes were overdue for a wash. After washing and drying, the staff even delivered them to my room—zero stress. The next morning, I enjoyed breakfast (a big deal for me), featuring freshly made "Changshan Tribute Noodles" and "Quzhou Mixed Rice Noodles." The homemade chili sauce paired perfectly with the tender braised duck head—absolutely addictive 😋. At checkout the next day, I left my charger in the room. Before I even reached the high-speed rail station, the hotel called to say they’d ship it back via SF Express (collect on delivery). Ugh, so thoughtful it hurts 😭.

On this early summer afternoon, I dragged my suitcase and stood at the foot of the mountain in Quzhou, looking at the Baoshan Academy-themed homestay in the distance, my heart was full of expectations. This trip is not only to find that rare tranquility, but also to experience this boutique homestay known as a "small bridge, flowing water, and family." 🏡 Feeling of Home Stepping into Baoshan Academy is like walking into a warm home. The two quaint folk houses have been carefully renovated, retaining the charm of traditional architecture while incorporating the comfort of modern life. The public space on the first floor is full of scholarly atmosphere. More than 5,000 books are neatly arranged on the old wooden bookshelves, including literature, art, and history. Sitting here and enjoying a cup of fragrant coffee, the continuous mountains and gurgling streams outside the window allow people to relax like never before. 🌿 Gift of Nature Baoshan Academy is located in the mountains, surrounded by green bamboo forests, with constant streams in all seasons. It takes a 200m walk up the path from the parking lot to the hotel, but this short journey is a visual and spiritual feast. Every step allows you to feel the breath of nature. You can hear the birds singing, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of soil and flowers. 🌟 Attentive Service The hotel owner's enthusiasm and care are impressive. I remember that day when we were carrying heavy suitcases and were worried about how to get up the mountain, the owner personally used a carrying pole to carry our luggage and steadily delivered it to the guest room step by step. This gesture made us feel at home and became one of the warmest memories of this trip. ✨ Must-Visit Surrounding Attractions Leaving Baoshan Academy, there are many places worth exploring around. Taoyuan Qili Scenic Area, which is 3.0 km away from the hotel in a straight line, has beautiful natural scenery and is suitable for hiking enthusiasts to explore. Huangtuling, which is 1.3 km away from the hotel, is a good place to watch the sunrise. Climbing to the top of the mountain in the early morning, you can see the sun slowly illuminating the entire valley, which is breathtakingly beautiful. Baoshan Academy is not just a hotel, it is more like a spiritual harbor where you can temporarily forget the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a peaceful and wonderful time. If you plan to travel to Quzhou, you may wish to use Baoshan Academy as your base, I believe it will add a lot of color to your trip.
