Things to do in Quanjiao

The area surrounding Chuzhou is all mountains. Among the southwestern peaks, the forests and valleys are especially beautiful; the one that appears lush and deep from afar is Langya Mountain. Walking six or seven li into the mountains, one gradually hears the murmuring of water, which cascades between two peaks—this is Niangquan Spring. The path winds and turns, and there stands a pavilion perched above the spring—this is Zuiweng Pavilion…

- 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.

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 Confucius Temple and Jiangnan Examination Hall along the Qinhuai River in Nanjing offer stunning nighttime views. A stroll through them in the gentle autumn breeze is incredibly pleasant. There are free performances and some attractions that charge admission, so you can choose what to do. In short, anyone visiting Nanjing should definitely check them out.

If you haven't been there, it's worth a visit. It's a famous spot in Nanjing, always packed with people. As for the boat tour, if you haven't been before, you can take a ride, but it's probably a one-time thing, so the price isn't great. It's a 40-minute round trip on the boat, listening to the announcements, watching the night view of the Qinhuai River, with its many bridges along the banks. You can learn about history, see the waterscape and night view, and soak in the atmosphere.

My second visit to West Lake was great; the boat tour was excellent. The dock was easy to find, the staff were very friendly, provided clear explanations, and helped with any issues. There were also sightseeing buses, which were nice but a bit pricey. Taking the boat tour and then walking around was both perfectly fine.

We were very fortunate that our top guide today was Ms. Dong Ling. Her professional expertise was solid; she didn't just recite from memory. She eloquently explained the stories and archaeological backgrounds behind each of the museum's treasures, making dry history vivid and easy to understand. My son and I deeply experienced the thousand-year history of Nanjing. Highly recommended!

Zuiweng Pavilion, the core scenic spot of Langya Mountain Scenic Area, is nestled against the mountain and beside the water, with pavilions scattered throughout, offering a picturesque view at every turn. It exudes ancient charm, combining the beauty of Jiangnan gardens with a profound cultural heritage. Stepping into Zuiweng Pavilion feels like traveling back a thousand years.

The previous pictures were all of the Three Pagodas in Dali. The Three Pagodas in Quanjiao, Chuzhou were destroyed by war as early as the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. After driving for more than an hour, I found that it was not the case at all. I asked an aunt in the temple and she said that many people came to ask where the three pagodas were. It seems that there are many misunderstandings. There are relatively few relics left in the temple. The original main building was a few bungalows built during the Republic of China period. In recent years, some buildings have been added, such as the mountain gate and the new hall behind.
