Things to do in Quanjiao

It's perfect to see during the National Day holiday; the overall production is excellent, and the scenes are stunning and outstanding.

Langya Mountain Scenic Area (5A), located in the northwest suburbs of Chuzhou City, is a national scenic spot and national forest park. It is renowned for Ouyang Xiu's "Record of the Drunken Pavilion" and enjoys the reputation of "no other mountain after Penglai" (Figure 2). Based on our 3-hour time limit and senior-friendly requirements, AI provided a core itinerary: "Langya Pavilion + Langya Temple + Shenxiu Lake + Drunken Pavilion," a route that proceeds from high to low, avoiding backtracking, ensuring efficiency and a good experience. Enter from the North Gate of the scenic area, take the shuttle bus to Nantianmen, and ascend to Langya Pavilion (Figure 1), the highest point in the scenic area, overlooking the city of Chuzhou—a crucial node for hiking and sightseeing. Then descend hundreds of steps to Langya Ancient Temple (Figure 3). Originally built in the Tang Dynasty, it is an important remnant of Buddhist culture. The path descends gently... Wangbitan is nestled in a valley. Shenxiu Lake (Figure 4) has a wide expanse with a winding bridge and a pavilion in the center, perfect for boating and sightseeing. Finally, the core of the scenic area is the Zuiweng Pavilion (Figure 5), hailed as the "Number One Pavilion Under Heaven." Built by Ouyang Xiu during the Qingli era of the Song Dynasty, it is a cultural landmark and symbol of Langya Mountain. Other smaller scenic spots include Yingxiang Pavilion (Figure 6), Yefang Garden (Figure 7), and Zuiweng Pool (Figure 8). Returning to the North Gate, it was nearly 5 PM. The setting sun cast its golden rays upon the slightly weathered ancient buildings, the shadows of the trees swaying gently, a scene of timeless beauty (Figure 9).

- Unique architectural style: The ancient city is built with a 33-meter-high Jinfu Building with a pure mortise and tenon structure as its landmark building. It consists of 128 exquisite carved ancient buildings. The overall architectural style combines the characteristics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the local cultural elements of Quanjiao. It has flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, and is antique.   - Profound cultural heritage: Taiping Ancient City has deeply explored the local culture of Quanjiao, such as the provincial intangible cultural heritage "Walking Taiping" folk activities, where tourists can feel the charm of folk culture that has been passed down for nearly 2,000 years. ​ - Rich and diverse activities: The ancient city will hold many special cultural festivals such as the Han and Tang Costume Festival, Calligraphy and Painting Festival, Light Show, Electronic Music Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, etc., as well as the Tang Dynasty Night Parade, Iron Flower, Fire Pot Intangible Cultural Heritage Performances, etc., which bring tourists a rich audio-visual enjoyment and cultural experience. ​ - Complete supporting facilities: The block has a rich variety of business formats, covering multiple fields such as business, education, cultural and creative arts, and competition. There are local specialties such as Quanjiao crayfish, Guanba beef, and Machang mutton noodles. It also invested 100 million yuan to build a high-end homestay Wansongtang Resort Hotel, which can meet the diverse needs of tourists.

The room is exactly the same as the real thing, and the view is superb. It is very convenient for travel. There is a subway station downstairs. The quality of the community is also quite high. The night view at night is very domineering. Let me talk about the butler's service. It is really first-class. The reply to messages is very fast. He also helped us book tickets for a one-day tour in Wulong. The price is really very favorable. He was very considerate and recommended many delicious foods and check-in spots, which saved us a lot of worry. We just followed the butler's recommendations and had peace of mind. This five-star praise must be given.

It's quite fun; experience a cyberpunk-style Buddhist worship. Besides the Buddha Palace, there are many other things to do at Niushou Mountain. If you only visit the core attractions (2-3 hours), you could easily spend a whole day there. I recommend taking the bus; buying a combined ticket is more cost-effective and saves energy.

This is my second time visiting Hongshan. The crowds weren't too big on a rainy day, so the experience was great. I thought all the animals would be hiding indoors to avoid the rain, but I was surprised to see and take many pictures of them. The furry creatures are so cute... It's a pity I forgot to bring my stamp book again. I'll definitely bring it next time!

It is across the street from Taiping Ancient Town and Wu Jingzi's Former Residence! Not many people there, and it's free, so it's suitable for a quiet stroll without any expectations. On the contrary, I feel very happy. The Taiping Ancient Town opposite is really just for a stroll, it's too desolate.

The hotel boasts beautiful scenery and fresh air, making it perfect for a relaxing vacation. The public area is spacious, ideal for enjoying tea and taking photos. It's just a short walk to the central gate of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, offering convenient access, saving time, and making it easy to explore the scenic area. It's a great place to unwind after a long day. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the staff are polite and always greet you warmly.

The Dacheng Hall of the Confucius Temple is the core main hall of the Confucius Temple, a tranquil haven of Confucian elegance amidst the bustling Qinhuai River. With its double-eaved roofs, bracket sets, and ancient red walls, the hall houses a dignified bronze statue of Confucius, flanked by stone statues of sages. Inside, a giant portrait of Confucius hangs, flanked by four stone statues. The "Illustrations of Confucius' Sacred Traces," inlaid with jade, vividly depicts the life of the sage. There are also replicas of ancient chime bells and chime stones, and if you're lucky, you might catch a performance of traditional music. The side corridors display calligraphy and inscriptions by renowned calligraphers, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Confucius. Outside, the Confucius Temple is bustling with crowds; stepping inside brings instant peace, perfect for quiet contemplation of Confucian culture, ideal for reading or seeking blessings. It's a perfect place to combine a visit to the Qinhuai River with a day trip.
