at 7: 31 in the morning, it was cloudy and the weather was comfortable. A luxury bus, carrying 31 members of Aojiang Business Association and their families, drove to Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, the first stop of this investigation. Quzhou, a prefecture-level city under its jurisdiction, is located in the west of Zhejiang Province, with Nanping in Fujian in the south, Shangrao and Jingdezhen in Jiangxi in the west, Huangshan in Anhui in the north and Jinhua, Lishui and Hangzhou in the province in the east. It is known as "the thoroughfare of four provinces and the head of five roads". It has jurisdiction over Kecheng District, Qujiang District, Jiangshan City, Longyou County, Changshan County and Kaihua County, with a total resident population of about 2.3 million.
Quzhou, with the city brand of "Nankong Holy Land Quzhou Youli", is a national historical and cultural city, a city with beautiful ecological scenery, an open atmosphere and a city of innovation and vitality. At 12 noon, the delegation of Aojiang Business Association arrived at the ancient block of Shuitingmen in Quzhou City, inspected its long history and culture, watched the ancient city wall of Shuitingmen and tasted Quzhou cuisine.
"If you don't know the gate of Shuiting, you will come to Quzhou House in vain". "Shuitingmen" is an important part of the core area of Quzhou National Confucian Culture Industrial Park, and it is also the main scenic spot of the 5A-level scenic spot built by the central leisure area of Quzhou ancient city and the municipal government. It is like a book, quietly embedding the once stormy clouds between the lines. There are 14 national, provincial and municipal key cultural protection units and 36 historical buildings in the block, and the architectural style and street texture are well preserved. There are temples, ancestral halls, halls, towers, historical sites and patches of traditional houses scattered in the area.
the historical and cultural block of Shuitingmen, with Confucian culture as the background and Shuitingmen in China as the goal, includes leisure experience, cultural and creative retail, food and beverage, art space, body-building, VR technology, Chinese Academy, hotel inn and other formats, and becomes a fashion gathering place for urban tourism and cultural and creative business. At noon, we specially selected a Zhejiang intangible cultural heritage food store in the "Shuitingmen" block, and ordered Quzhou special food ~ three heads and one palm, namely rabbit head, duck head, fish head and duck paw to taste.
after lunch, the group came to the ancient city wall square of Shuitingmen, where the surging Qujiang River is viewed in the west, and the ancient governance place of Quzhou is behind the gate. "Shuiting Gate" is a common style of building a city in the south in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a square structure, a double-decked pavilion, a mountain and cornices, and a graceful manner. The four characters of flying pavilion and flowing Dan above the tower are elegant and imposing. Bird's-eye view of the majestic ancient city, the towering water pavilion gate and the long Qujiang River water bear the historical vicissitudes of the ancient city, and witness today's future, peace and prosperity!
Last year it was a riverside road.
Today it is transformed into a beautiful garden.
The waterside pavilions and terraces are opposite to each other,
The winding paths of carved columns are interdependent.
fragrant flowers attract thousands of bees,
green trees attract hundreds of birds to squat.
where is Jiayuan?
Shuiting Gate on the south bank of Qujiang River.
