Besides the delicious spicy duck head, Quzhou has many fun places to visit, and the beautiful scenery is breathtaking. Today, I want to share a niche and amazing place to check in - Longyou. Here, you can find large fields of rapeseed flowers, unique art installations, ancient folk houses, and mysterious thousand-year-old grottoes. It's a treasure among treasures! Here is a carefully curated travel guide for you. Save it! ⬇️ 💃 "2 days and 1 night itinerary" Day 1⃣️: First, visit the He Time Art Corridor to experience the perfect blend of art and nature, then head to the Redwood Town to admire the spectacular redwood buildings. Day 2⃣️: In the morning, visit the Longyou Ancient Folk House Garden to appreciate the unique charm of southern folk houses, then explore the mysterious Longyou Grottoes, and finally, visit the Bamboo Forest Zen Temple to enjoy the peaceful and serene atmosphere. 🚗: Transportation is also very convenient! You can take a high-speed train to "Longyou Station" and then take a taxi to various attractions. If you depart from Hangzhou, it takes about 2.5 hours to drive there, and the scenery along the way is also very nice. 📷 "About check-in points" ✅ He Time Art Corridor: This place is truly amazing! Farming culture, natural beauty, and modern art collide here in a wonderful way. Every year from April to May, large fields of rapeseed flowers bloom, creating a beautiful picture, perfect for taking photos! The art installations in the flower fields have different styles, some are passionate and unrestrained, some are simple and elegant, and some are full of modernity. Don't miss the bookstore in the flower field, the red brick design is very artistic, and it feels like being in Jingdezhen, full of literary style. ✅ Longyou Ancient Folk House Garden: This is the largest ancient folk house relocation protection project in China, known as the "museum" of southern folk house architecture. Walking through it, you can see exquisite pavilions, solemn ancestral halls, and every corner exudes a strong historical atmosphere, making you feel like traveling back in time. ✅ Longyou Grottoes: Known as the "ninth wonder of the world," it truly lives up to its reputation! When you see the neat carving marks and feel the significantly lower temperature inside the cave, your curiosity will drive you to explore its mystery. What we can see is only a small part of the grottoes, but it is already enough to be awe-inspiring. ✅ Redwood Town: The buildings here are super spectacular, combining architectural styles from the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Moreover, most of the buildings here are made of redwood, hence the name "Redwood Town." Walking in the town feels like traveling back to ancient times, full of ancient charm. 🍜【About food】 Quzhou is simply a paradise for foodies in Zhejiang!
