2026 Quzhou Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

Based on the development of the high-speed rail network and niche travel demands, here are 3 cities ideal for a short stay, directly reachable by high-speed rail, and offering a relaxed atmosphere along with unique experiences: 1. Zhejiang · Quzhou Why visit: Zhejiang’s hidden “spicy world,” accessible by high-speed rail. This city blends the gentleness of Jiangnan water towns with distinctive spicy cuisine, featuring a slow pace perfect for food exploration and historical visits. High-speed rail convenience: About 1 hour from Hangzhou to Quzhou, about 2 hours from Shanghai, with direct trains from multiple locations. 3-day itinerary suggestion: Day 1: After arrival, stroll through the Shuitingmen historical and cultural district, climb the ancient city wall to watch the sunset over the Qu River, and challenge yourself with the “Three Heads and One Palm” (rabbit head, duck head, fish head, duck palm) for dinner. Day 2: Explore the “Southern Confucius Holy Land” – the Kong family ancestral temple of the Southern branch (second only to Qufu in scale), then take an afternoon walk on Lanke Mountain, a filming location for "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio." Day 3: Visit Jianglang Mountain (a Danxia landform World Heritage site) or Longyou Grottoes (mysterious underground caves), then return in the evening. Accommodation suggestion: Stay in the old town for easy access to food and sightseeing. Niche highlight: The only spicy city in Zhejiang, dense with snacks but few tourists, perfect for travelers who want to explore an alternative Jiangnan. 2. Anhui · Xuancheng Why visit: Known as “The Hometown of China’s Four Treasures of the Study,” and the place where Li Bai wrote “Looking at each other without getting tired, only Jingting Mountain remains.” It blends poetic landscapes with Huizhou culture and is less commercialized. High-speed rail convenience: About 40 minutes from Nanjing to Xuancheng, about 1.5 hours from Hangzhou, with frequent trains on the Shanghai-Nanjing-Hefei route. 3-day itinerary suggestion: Day 1: Upon arrival, visit the Chinese Huizhou Cuisine Culture Museum, then take an evening stroll in Wanling Lake Wetland Park and enjoy local home-style Huizhou dishes. Day 2: Climb Jingting Mountain to seek the ancient poetic atmosphere, then visit Xie Tiao Tower and Xuancheng Museum in the afternoon to deepen your understanding of the Four Treasures culture. Day 3: Head to Chaji Ancient Village in Jing County (more pristine than Hongcun and Xidi) or Taohua Pond (visited by Li Bai), then return in the afternoon. Accommodation suggestion: Stay in Xuancheng city center or a guesthouse in Chaji Ancient Village. Niche highlight: Deeply experience Huizhou culture without crowds, ideal for art lovers and those longing for pastoral landscapes. 3. Guangxi · Liuzhou (off-peak times) Why visit: Beyond Luosifen (snail noodles), this is an underrated “mountain-water industrial city.” Karst landforms surround the city, the Li River night view rivals Chongqing, and prices are affordable. High-speed rail convenience: About 1 hour from Nanning to Liuzhou, about 3.5 hours from Guangzhou, with direct trains from many South China locations. 3-day itinerary suggestion: Day 1: Upon arrival, enjoy a bowl of authentic Luosifen, then climb Ma’an Mountain for panoramic city and Li River views, and take a water bus at night to admire the night scenery. Day 2: Visit the Bai Lotus Cave Science Museum (a niche and stunning spot), spend the afternoon at Longtan Park (free karst landscape), and check out Victory Barbecue City in the evening. Day 3: Visit Zhongdu Ancient Town (undeveloped) or Luzhai Xiangqiao Karst National Geopark, then return in the evening. Accommodation suggestion: Stay in the city center or by the Li River for convenient travel. Niche highlight: A unique blend of industry and natural scenery, with extremely rich cuisine, perfect for travelers who enjoy both urban exploration and nature. Recommendations: Prefer culture and cuisine: choose Quzhou (spicy Jiangnan) Prefer poetic countryside: choose Xuancheng (Huizhou essence) Prefer city and nature intertwined: choose Liuzhou (mountain-water industry) These small cities are well connected by high-speed rail, have a relaxed pace of life, feature local characteristics without being overcrowded, and are suitable for a brief “city change” experience. It is recommended to check the latest high-speed rail schedules and local festivals before traveling for a more immersive experience.

Just got back from Quzhou and was totally thrilled by this "Global Free Travel" policy! 14 core attractions with free admission, from World Heritage sites to thousand-year-old towns, you can visit different places for 5 days without paying a single ticket fee. The happiness of working people is fully covered by Quzhou! As a travel fanatic who just tested it out, I have to share this valuable guide with you! Key point: the free period is from November 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026 (excluding the Spring Festival holiday). 4A and 5A attractions like Lanke Mountain, Jianglang Mountain, and Gengong Buddha Kingdom are all included. Only Sanqu Shilin is temporarily closed for renovation, so don’t go there in vain! Top 5 Must-Visit Free Attractions (Tested and No Pitfalls) 1. Jianglang Mountain: Zhejiang’s first World Natural Heritage site truly lives up to its name! The Danxia giant rocks pierce the sky, walking through the “One Line Sky” you can only see a narrow strip of sky above, the cliff’s imposing presence is stunning~ Reminder: free admission does not include Lang Peak; if you want to climb to the top, you can buy a separate ticket. But just exploring the main scenic area is already very photogenic. It’s best to go in the morning to avoid crowds! 2. Quzhou Ancient City Cultural Tourism Area: A perfect 5.0 score attraction is no joke! The Shuitingmen city wall is stunning at dusk, with the sunset dyeing the blue bricks and black tiles golden, every photo looks like an ancient style masterpiece. The night scene on Beimen Street is a must-see, with street food unique to Quzhou everywhere. When tired, sit down and enjoy a bowl of bagged pancake with stinky tofu, it’s so delicious you’ll want to lick the plate! 3. Gengong Buddha Kingdom: Who would have thought tree roots could be carved into such stunning artworks! Root-carved Buddha statues five to six meters tall are lifelike.

Tour groups must book one day in advance! ✅ Transportation: High-speed rail is super convenient! 21 minutes direct from Jinhua, 1-2 hours from Hangzhou or Shanghai. It’s recommended to rent a car or carpool between attractions, much more flexible than public transport, saving time to visit more spots! ✅ Accommodation Recommendations: If you want to explore the ancient city, stay in Kecheng District. The Nankong Guantang Fushan West Hotel has strong local flavor and very nice staff. If you want to be close to Jianglang Mountain, choose Jiangshan Yunduan Mijing Hotel, with a rich breakfast and hands-on activities, great value for money! ✅ Food List: Don’t just know about “Three Heads and One Palm”! The scallion steamed buns at Gupu Liangshi are a delicious taste passed down from the Song Dynasty. Hao Zaotou’s Quzhou cuisine is very authentic, fresh and spicy, paired with a bowl of Kaihua clear water fish, it’s irresistibly delicious, about 50 RMB per person to eat until full! ✅ Pitfall Reminder: Free admission covers the main gate ticket only. Scenic area shuttle buses, guided tours, zip lines, and other activities require separate payment, choose as needed. The monkeys at Yaowang Mountain are very clever, be sure to hide your snacks or you’ll get “robbed”! This trip to Quzhou really exceeded expectations! Not only are the mountains and waters stunning, but the cultural heritage is also very rich. The key is 14 attractions free for 5 months, the cost performance is maxed out~ Now that autumn is in full swing, Lanke Mountain’s forests are dyed in colors, and the natural oxygen bar under the plum trees has fresh sweet air, it’s the perfect time to travel!

If you haven’t been, feel free to ask me any questions, I’ll tell you everything~ Wishing everyone a happy time in Quzhou!

📍Zhejiang · Quzhou 🚄 High-speed rail directly to Quzhou Station (about 1 hour from Hangzhou, about 2 hours from Shanghai), a 15-minute taxi ride to the old town Having visited many ancient towns in Jiangnan, I have a special love for this corner of Quzhou—where scholarly culture and everyday life blend together, neither commercial nor noisy, still maintaining the calm demeanor of a thousand-year-old city. If you are looking for a quiet place with deep cultural heritage, this is worth a visit. Moreover, the local cuisine here is unforgettable🍲, making it a Jiangnan secret land "delayed" by its deliciousness. 🌟 Quzhou Highlights: 🏮 Shuitingmen Historic District During the day, the "Three Streets and Seven Alleys" feel like stepping into a dream of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with white walls, black tiles, wooden doors, and flower windows—everywhere tells the story of old Quzhou. At night, when the lights come on, Tianwang Tower reflects the bright moon🌙, reminiscent of the "palaces in the sky" from Su Shi’s poetry. 📖 Southern Confucius Family Temple One of only two Confucius family temples in the country, the other is in Qufu. 🎫 Admission is 10 yuan, and you get a cute mini version of the Analects of Confucius. Ancient trees tower in the garden, fish swim leisurely in the pond, and sitting quietly for a moment lets you feel the thousand-year-old Confucian spirit. ⏰ North Gate Street Clock Tower When the bell rings, echoing through the cobblestone alleys, even the ordinary daily life is tinged with poetry. 🍵 Travel Tips: · It is recommended to stay near Shuitingmen for convenient dining and sightseeing. · Best time to visit: spring and autumn, with pleasant weather for a comfortable stroll through the ancient town. Half the city is literary charm, half the city is everyday life. This autumn, why not come to Quzhou, and seek an old Jiangnan dream🍁

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!
