I was really delayed by the duck head! Quzhou, why don't you promote this place!
Longtian Town, Longyou, Quzhou: An underrated treasure
I always thought the one place you couldn't miss in Quzhou was the ancient town of Nianba, until I went to Longtian Town (also known as Redwood Town) in Longyou and realized how amazing it is! I never thought it would cost 8 billion to build, with modern buildings and ancient towers complementing each other in a unique and magical style. Now is the off-season in Quzhou, and many attractions are open for free, so hurry up and visit Quzhou!
The location is in Redwood Town (Longtian Town, Longyou). The ticket is 89 yuan for a one-time pass, but if you stay in a hotel in the scenic area, you don't need to buy a ticket. The opening hours are from 9:00 to 20:00.
The tour route can start with a boat tour of the Qu River, where you can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river. After getting off the boat, you can walk around and visit the Zitan Palace, the riverside corridor, the Tai Mu Hall, the Yu En Hall, the Redwood Museum, etc. You can enjoy the rich cultural heritage and exquisite architectural craftsmanship along the way.
The must-play items are the land tour and the check-in, where you can walk into each of the ancient buildings and take a closer look, and some of them can even be climbed for a view. For example, the Yinghe Palace is the tallest building in the town, and standing on top of it, you can see the whole town in all its beauty, which is a very impressive feeling. There is also a boat tour, where the buildings and pavilions are lined up along the river, and the corridors and courtyards are paired with classical buildings, which is a very strong visual impact. You can take a boat at the entrance of the scenic area, first enjoy the pavilions and towers on both sides of the artificial river, then the boat will pass through the Rainbow Bridge and enter the Qu River, and enjoy the ancient buildings on the shore along the river, as if you are traveling back to ancient times.
Speaking of food, you can't miss the snacks in the "East Market" in the town. There are crispy and delicious Quzhou baked cakes, full of onion and meat flavor; there are also sweet and soft Longyou rice cakes, with a delicate taste. It is especially nice to eat hot pot in the boat house, while enjoying the river view, which is a special flavor.
Remember to take note of the travel tips. The scenic area is very quiet during the day, which is perfect for a leisurely stroll and photo shoot, but it gets lively at night with all kinds of food and performances, so you have to experience the different styles of the day and night. There is also an amusement park and a hotel in the scenic area, so if you have enough time, you can arrange for a few more days to enjoy the charm of the town. However, the scenic area is quite large, and some places are not yet decorated, but just the finished parts are enough for us to have a good time.

Zhejiang Tourism | Longtian Rosewood Town, very photogenic
Longyou Rosewood Town, a place full of ancient charm and full of flavor, awaits your exploration.
Rosewood Town is located in Longyou County, Quzhou City. It is a newly popular town in Zhejiang Province and one of the first batch of characteristic towns in the province, covering an area of over 700,000 square meters with a total investment of 8 billion yuan.
Since its grand opening on September 29, 2020, Longyou Rosewood Town has attracted countless tourists with its strength and beauty.
Rosewood Town, whether during the day or at night, has a high aesthetic value. The entire area of ancient-style architecture is like a real-life version of 'Spirited Away' during the day, and at night, its beauty is comparable to Xi'an's Great Tang All Day Mall and not inferior to Fenghuang Ancient Town in Hunan, Xiangxi.
Taking a boat tour of Rosewood Town, you can enjoy the riverside scenery of the town, with the boat moving on the river and people walking in a painting. Along the way, you will pass a rainbow bridge made of rosewood, which is the only rosewood bridge in the world. As the boat passes under the bridge, visitors are attracted by this grand and majestic structure and take out their phones and cameras to record this magnificent rosewood bridge, which spans the lake like a new moon.
Rosewood Town's landscape is very nice, with the scenic area creating a natural ecological environment of 'mountains and rivers depending on each other, sky and water merging into one' along the Qujiang River, with humanities and history as the main theme, constructing buildings in the styles of the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, and incorporating crafts such as wood carving, brick carving, and stone carving.
Each building, each garden scene, each tree is really an image, indescribably beautiful.
Address: Cao Long Village, Longyou County, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province Longyou Rosewood Town Industrial Zone
