Longyou travel guide and discussion

Longyou County is located in western Zhejiang Province in the center of the Jinqu Basin. It is an important transport hub linking eastern and central Zhejiang to the bordering provinces of Jiangxi, Anhui, and Fujian. Here you will find the famous Longyou Caves, an enormous complex of sandstone caverns. Seven of the caverns are dug closely together, neatly arranged to form the shape of the seven stars of the Big Dipper. Mysterious carved figures adorn the rock walls of the caverns. You can also visit the picturesque Longyou Residential Court and Quzhou Xiaonanhai (衢州小南海 - “Quzhou Little South Sea”) or raft the Longyou Grand Canyon (龙游大峡谷).
