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

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!

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.

The ancient humanities are not just legends, but rogues in every step... as the city of Chuzhou, the original construction of its walls, When Tang Wude built the county governor for four years, his site was centered on Guifeng, Qiling, which is today's Fushan.

Second, the city wall is in the city after the Tang Dynastys establishing the county governor Expanded and abandoned. The current city wall is basically in line with the wall built in the Tang Dynasty. Since the Tang Dynasty, the city wall has been built, expanded, and preserved to this day. It is a long history of the Tang Dynasty.

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. For travelers lugging suitcases, not having to hail a taxi is a lifesaver! 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.

After returning to downtown Quzhou from Jiangshan Jianglang Mountain Scenic Area, stay at a hotel near Shuiting Gate Scenic Area to begin your old town travel experience. 🏨Hotel: Dengni Art Stay Hotel (Shuiting Gate Confucian Temple Branch) 📍Address: 142 Lixian Street, Kecheng District, Quzhou 🔸Features: 1️⃣Convenient location: Only 4.5km drive from Quzhou Station, with easy transportation; close to must-visit attractions like Quzhou Ancient City Cultural Tourism Area and Shuiting Gate. 2️⃣Self-check-in: Semi-self-service check-in process, quickly complete check-in at the front desk with ID scanning and facial recognition, perfect for introverts and lazy travelers. 3️⃣Attentive service: Owner's contact information available at the front desk with prompt responses.

In the evening, the owner thoughtfully prepares ice jelly desserts for guests to "rescue" stomachs that have endured Quzhou's spicy cuisine. 🛏Room: ▫️Though called a hotel, it feels more like a guesthouse with uniquely decorated rooms. ▫️Newly renovated and opened in 2025, featuring vintage furnishings + voice-controlled smart home systems, providing me with a comfortable experience. ▫️Sink into bed, lower the projector screen, and stream movies. 🚶Nearby attractions: 1️⃣Songyuan Market Crispy bag pancakes wrapped around fried dough sticks, egg cakes sizzling and rolling in iron pans. Vendors' hands move faster than sword fights in martial arts films. 2️⃣Shuiting Gate District Walk through "Lixian Gate" to reach the historical and cultural district. The South Confucian Market is lively, with Tianwang Tower as a landmark for photos. Plenty of snacks and cultural creative shops to explore. 3️⃣Southern Confucian Temple One of only three Confucian family temples in China, known as the "Southern Ancestral Temple." Pick up a mini Analects book as a souvenir. 🔥Holiday bonus: Take a 15-minute taxi ride to Luming Mountain to watch heritage craftsmen play with fire, creating flying sparks and spectacular displays that showcase our ancestors' romantic traditions. The curved eaves of the Southern Confucian Temple outline a thousand-year silhouette, Shuiting Gate Old Street dons its twilight lights, and the spicy "Three Heads and One Palm" dish still lingers on the taste buds. This small Jiangnan city of Quzhou, with its historical depth and vibrant street life, quietly finds its way into travelers' hearts.

Sanqingkou Ancient Porcelain Village is known as "Wanchang" because it has been specializing in the firing of blue and white porcelain throughout the dynasties. The village is built along the valley, with wisps of smoke rising and intertwining with the distant mountains. As one of the birthplaces of early Chinese blue and white porcelain, Sanqingkou Ancient Porcelain Village, under the glory of the kiln fire, has the oldest existing kiln site in China. The celadon porcelain produced in the former dragon kiln was continuously transported to various places via the Xianxia Ancient Road. The only traditional porcelain workshop left over from the Qing Dynasty in western Zhejiang still retains the ancient traditional production methods and technologies. Sanqingkou Porcelain Workshop covers an area of 41,340 square meters. There is a stepped dragon kiln, about 35m long, 11 pestle houses, more than 40 blank pulling rooms, 7 sets of washing pools, blank pulling wheels, and several sets of tools. The ancient porcelain village also retains nearly 100 buildings such as the She Temple and the Huang Ancestral Hall, as well as residences from the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and the 1960s. The entire village maintains the original layout and historical features of the kiln workshop. The history of Sanqingkou Porcelain Workshop can be traced back to the Qianlong period. Among them, the dragon kiln is the most important building of Sanqingkou Porcelain Workshop. In 1997, the kiln stopped burning due to the lack of market competitiveness of its products at the time. By 2025, the dragon kiln had been out of service for 28 years.

So far, my favorite travel destination has appeared‼️|||When talking about Quzhou People might immediately think of duck heads But I unexpectedly discovered that this place Is truly an underrated travel destination It not only has profound cultural heritage But also preserves well-maintained traditional architecture Even Xu Xiake visited multiple times - 🚄"Transportation" First take the high-speed train to [Jiangshan Station], then transfer to local transportation or take a taxi to various attractions. There's some distance between scenic spots, so self-driving 🚘 is more recommended for convenience - ✅Recommended places to visit 1️⃣Nianbadu Ancient Town The ancient streets here are very well preserved. Many children play in the small streams, and you can leisurely browse handicraft shops or sit down in a teahouse to enjoy a cup of fragrant tea. The ancient town is even more magnificent at night, bustling with activity, with various food stalls that catch your eye—definitely not to be missed! During the May Day holiday, the scenic area specially launched immersive performances where visitors can interact with NPCs for a fully engaging experience~ 2️⃣Jianglang Mountain A breathtaking natural wonder~ Jianglang Mountain. Xu Xiake visited here multiple times. The three giant rocks here soar into the clouds and are known as the "First Mountain of Southern China." Although climbing is tiring, when you stand at the summit overlooking the surroundings, all fatigue instantly disappears. Remember to bring plenty of water and snacks During the May Day holiday, many interesting climbing activities have been prepared! For example, the "Mountain Climbing Ranking Competition" is very interesting—when you complete the check-in tasks, you can receive a special "Xiake Energy Coffee"; there's also a "Weightlifting Challenge," and if you succeed, you can receive various special gifts. - 🥘Food recommendations Quzhou duck heads, braised river fish, Dachen noodles, copper gong cake, Nianbadu tofu stove, Nianbadu Fengxi fish - ⚠️Travel tips When planning your itinerary, it's recommended to check the weather forecast in advance and choose clear days for your trip

【Day 1: Strolling in the ancient city of Quzhou】 🚄Transportation: Shanghai Hongqiao → Quzhou (9:45-11:59) 📷Shuiting Gate Check-in: 🍜Lunch: "Gupu Good Food" (Jinshi Lane Store) The plaque at the entrance reads "Quzhou Intangible Cultural Snack Museum", but it is actually a snack bar. Each snack is small in quantity and low in price, so you can try more "Grandpa Nan Kong's study" First floor "Quzhou is interesting" cultural and creative area Second floor "Quzhou Calendar" photo wall There is a free stamping area on the first floor (but the color of the stamp is single) ☕「WUTONG」Coffee Children love mint dark chocolate Rich coffee selection and comfortable environment 🚗15:00 Pick up the car and drive for 1 hour → Jiangshan B&B 🏡"Feicunji x Zaoxue Jiayin" experience: Field view king room is great There is a rapeseed field outside the French window Free drinks, fruits and snacks The housekeeper provided thoughtful service (pre-sent precautions + surrounding recommendations) 🍲Dinner: "Shantang Sheli Restaurant" (10 minutes by car) Best of this trip! Sweet and sour pork tenderloin and salt and pepper duck head are delicious, 3 dishes and 1 fried rice for only 129 yuan ⚠Avoidance: "Hua Zai Ye Restaurant" near the B&B Arrived at 6:00 and half of the tables were empty, saying they were all reserved. You can only sit in the dark area and have to wait for 1 hour for the food to be served. They said there is only one chef. - 【Day2: Cultural Village + Jianglang Mountain + Nianbadu】 🌄Morning: "Qingyang Mao's Cultural Village" Tickets are 50 yuan, you can go during the free period, but paying to visit is not cost-effective 🍚Lunch: "Rui Gui Farmhouse" (3 dishes for 130 yuan) Right next to the Jianglang Mountain View pick-up and drop-off point Convenient parking, great location ⛰Afternoon: Light hike to Jianglang Mountain Route: Eighteen Bends → Kaiming Temple → Huixian Rock → Xiake Pavilion 2 hours round trip, suitable for families with children 🚗1 hour drive → "Nine-Eight City" 🏨Stay at the "Jiangshan Guiye Xianxiayi B&B" and you can get a free NT$80 ticket However, many small attractions inside require ticket inspection, and B&B guests are not allowed to enter The next morning, after returning from Chenggong Pavilion, I was stopped at a small intersection and was not allowed to enter. Contact the B&B before letting you go, very bad experience The ancient town is very small and not worth it 🍢Dinner: "Longxingzhai" (160 yuan) Recommended B&B but a bad idea The food is too salty, the braised pork is greasy, and the signature tofu is ordinary - 【Day3: Return to Nianbadu】 🌅Morning: 28th day: Check-in Success Kiosk Try soy milk ice cream 🍛Lunch: "Xie Xiaochu" (120 yuan in Jiangshan city) Several dishes are not bad, good value for money 🚄14:11-16:33 Jiangshan→Shanghai Hongqiao - 【Practical suggestions】 ✅Transportation: Self-driving is recommended, and the attractions are scattered ✅ Accommodation: Feitsuiji is highly recommended, and Erbadu is carefully selected ✅Food: Shantangsheli>Xie Xiaochu>Rugui Farmhouse ✅Bringing children: Choose a relaxing route in Jianglang Mountain and prepare snacks [Purse] Cost reference (2 adults and 1 child): 4600 (including round-trip high-speed rail, local car rental, accommodation, tickets, food and drink)

I spent three days at the Nan Kong Grand Hotel on Butterfly Road in Quzhou, and finally understood why people say, "Staying here is like having Quzhou in your pocket"—red walls, ancient pagodas, a thousand years of Confucianism, and delicious street food, all within a half-hour walking radius. Stay | A garden where you fall asleep to the Analects Pushing open the wooden door of Nan Kong Grand Hotel, I was immediately struck by the elegance of the new Chinese style: a dry landscape garden shaded by pine and cypress trees in the lobby, gold-stamped excerpts from the Analects on the bedside lampshades, and even the staff greeted guests with an ancient bow. My 41㎡ room had a private balcony overlooking the landscape. Sipping a pot of Yulu tea while watching the bamboo shadows sway in the courtyard, I felt like a scholar who had traveled through time. The best surprise was that the hotel was a 3-minute walk from Mazhandi Food Street. When the spicy duck heads made me sweat, I could rush back to my room and cool down with the smart toilet. Explore | A cultural map connected by footsteps 1. Confucius Southern Sect Family Temple (5-minute walk) The only two Confucius family temples in the country lived up to their reputation. A 10-yuan ticket got me a mini Analects. The red walls in the morning were especially picturesque, with sunlight filtering through the 700-year-old ginkgo tree, scattering gold leaf on the stone slabs. 2. Shuiting Gate (15-minute walk) During the day, the Tianwang Pagoda resembles a silent elder. For 49 yuan, you can climb the tower and see the jade-like Xin'an Lake nestled in the city. But I recommend coming in the evening! When the city walls light up, the Wu Opera begins on the ancient stage. Buy a cup of crystal cake and stroll through the cultural and creative shops. At 8 o'clock sharp, rush to the pier for a boat tour. The light show on both sides of the river tells the story of the Southern Confucius, and the evening breeze is filled with the gentleness of Jiangnan. 3. Beimen Street (5-minute walk from the Confucius Temple) Strolling out of the side gate of the Confucius Temple, I unexpectedly stumbled into the past. The bluestone road connects the bell tower and Zhao Bi Ancestral Hall, and the mottled carvings on the lintels of old houses are more vivid than any museum. At the alley entrance, decorated with red lanterns, I bought a freshly baked "Dong Baba baked cake." The slightly burnt flatbread was filled with spicy meat sauce, and I had to eat it while it was hot, even if it burned my hands. Eat | 24 hours of spicy food Waking up to the hotel breakfast every day was a joy: the aroma of rice from Longyou rice cakes mixed with osmanthus honey, and the toppings for Changshan tribute noodles changed daily. But the real battle was at Mazhandi: • Lao Pei duck heads' spicy aroma wafts through the streets. I recommend starting with mild spicy; • Quzhou baked cakes should be ordered with both preserved vegetables and fresh meat. The thin and crispy crust will burst with juice; • The mint flavor of crystal cakes is a spicy antidote, and adding coconut makes it even chewier; Tips | Must-haves for lazy people 1. You can get a map at the hotel reception, which even clearly marks the ancient wells in the alleys; 2. Go to Fushan Park in the early morning to see locals practicing Tai Chi, which is more authentic than any tourist attraction; 3. Remember to book the Xin'an Lake cruise one day in advance. The window seats offer the best view of the show; 4. If you're afraid of spicy food, remember to bring stomach medicine. Quzhou cuisine will make you suffer and enjoy at the same time. This trip was like opening a set of nesting dolls: the hotel was the exquisite lacquerware shell, the walkable attractions were the carved inner layers, and the moment of squatting in the alley eating duck heads was the candy hidden deep inside.

#discoverchina Quzhou, a hidden treasure tucked away in Zhejiang Province, offers an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adventurers alike. One of its hidden gems is the Three Gates Source Scenic Area, a breathtaking spot that combines lush greenery, picturesque waterfalls, and challenging yet rewarding hikes. Highlights of the Three Gates Source Scenic Area: Hiking Adventure: The hike up to the waterfalls is both invigorating and challenging. While the 30-40 minute climb may test your endurance, the view at the top makes every step worth it. Be prepared for a bit of a workout, especially on the way down when your legs may feel the burn from the steep slopes. Spectacular Waterfalls: The cascading waterfalls are undoubtedly the star of the show. If you're lucky enough to visit after a rainfall, you'll be treated to an even more dramatic display of nature’s power. For those who enjoy photography, the scenery will leave you with plenty of opportunities to capture stunning shots. Practical Tips for Visitors: Time Needed: Plan to spend around 3-4 hours here. The hike itself will take some time, but the surroundings will make it all worth it. Parking: The area can get crowded, especially on holidays. It’s best to park near the base of the mountain or in the designated parking lots, but be prepared for a 20-minute walk from the village parking lot. Preparation: If you're aiming to take beautiful photos or want to stay dry, make sure to bring a change of clothes—particularly if you decide to explore the waterfalls up close, where you might get soaked! #travel #thingstodo

Upstairs is a comfortable bedroom, and downstairs is a small living room where you can work. The biggest surprise is that the room is equipped with a liftable skylight, where you can look up at the stars at night and feel a different kind of romance. 🚗 Convenient Charging Facilities for Worry-Free Green Travel For friends who drive new energy vehicles, this is simply a paradise. The hotel's basement has a large number of charging parking spaces, and the electricity bill is as low as CNY 0.46 per kWh in the evening, which is economical and affordable. Whether it is a long trip or a short trip, you can easily solve the charging problem. 🌟 Thoughtful Service, Making You Feel at Home From the moment I checked in, I was impressed by the staff's enthusiasm and care. Not only did they give me Confucius Temple tickets, but they also thoughtfully arranged a free room upgrade. Even small details, such as providing various tea bags and disposable items, make people feel as warm as at home. Nearby Attractions Recommended: 1. Confucian Family Temple of the Southern Lineage - A good place to learn about Confucian culture. 2. Quzhou Museum - Explore the history and culture of Quzhou. 3. Shuitingmen Historical and Cultural Block - Stroll through the ancient streets and taste authentic snacks. I hope my sharing will make your trip to Quzhou more beautiful.
