Although Quzhou seems to be a relatively small tourist destination, it is actually a city with many honors. For example, in 20 18, it won an extremely famous title, that is, "International Garden City", and in the same year, it also won the special prize of landscape promotion, which was the first prefecture-level city in Zhejiang Province to win this honor.
Quzhou is also listed as a famous historical and cultural city in China. It has a history of more than 1800 years, even comparable to Hangzhou in the Song Dynasty. So as an ancient city, what are the highlights of coming here? Come and have a look with the pony!
If you like to see historical sites, you can find many such scenic spots in Quzhou City, many of which are listed as key cultural relics protection units in China. For example, you can go to Nanzong Confucius Temple in Xinqiao Street, Fushan Street to see Confucian culture. This is one of the two existing Confucius temples in China, and the other is in Qufu.
Here, you can not only see the quaint buildings, Dacheng Gate, Yong Dao, Dacheng Hall and Chongsheng Gate, but also see the back garden of Confucius Temple with birds and flowers. Of course, the most important thing is to come here and feel Confucian culture and thoughts. You might as well read The Analects.
In addition to the Confucius Temple, there is also a historic site in the old city of Quzhou that has been listed as a national key cultural relic, that is, the Quzhou City Wall. Although the Quzhou City Wall I have seen at present does not indicate when it was built, we can know from some materials that it probably became a masonry city wall from the Tang Dynasty. But in any case, when you come to Quzhou City, you can still see the restored or remaining city walls and witness the quaint atmosphere of Quzhou City.
If you like to walk along old streets and alleys, Quzhou has two distinctive old streets, namely Beimen Historic District and Shuitingmen Historic District. If you like the original ecological scenery, you must go to the North Gate Historic District. If you like the scenic spots in online celebrities, you must punch in at the gate of the water pavilion, eat delicious food and visit specialty stores.
In Ma Xiao's view, this way of walking around the streets is the best way to experience the life in Quzhou, and it is also the cultural atmosphere that has been deposited for more than 800 years. Although there is not much excitement, there is a slow life everywhere.
In fact, there are many special snacks hidden in Quzhou City, which can be eaten here. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 100 kinds of delicacies in Quzhou. As a traveler, it is certainly impossible to eat them all. We can focus on crystal cake, duck head, rabbit head, duck feet, Friedvermicelli and Quzhou scones. These distinctive authentic Quzhou flavors will surely satisfy your taste buds.
This is a relatively small tourist city in Zhejiang Province. Many tour groups will not touch it, but they can let you see the simplest fireworks.
