2025 Longquan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

The small city of Longquan, located an hour away from Lishui has this beautiful Monastery on top of a mountain. It's so peaceful and quiet as you go up the mountain. One is allowed to go into the Monastery grounds from 8:00-11:00 and from 14:00-17:00. The Monastery has a beautiful pagoda that lights up at night. There is also a beautiful shrine right outside where the fotos below were taken. We got some great shots. #urbanexplorer #longquan #chinatrips #temple #pagoda #explorechina #explorethecity

#Mainland Travel Across Xixi River in Anren Town, Longquan City, Zhejiang Province, lies an exquisite ancient covered bridge - Yonghe Bridge. Yonghe Bridge was first built in the first year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, destroyed by fire during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and rebuilt in the 57th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. In its more than 500-year life span, it has been destroyed many times by natural disasters and man-made calamities, but has been rebuilt many times. It is still a channel for residents on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to travel between the two sides, and a unique place for rest and communication. We arrived at Anren Town in the evening. After having a hearty meal at the famous "Fish Head Street", we walked to the ancient bridge to digest the food. At night, the moon is bright in the sky, the water of Xixi River is gurgling, the neon lights are reflected in the water, and the mountains in the distance are looming, creating a peaceful and prosperous scene. The next morning, I came to the river again. The stream was covered with pebbles. A few geese were leisurely foraging for food on the river bank. An old man on the bridge bench was enjoying the winter sunshine comfortably. Time seemed to have slowed down. There are many shops at the bridgehead, and it is bustling with people. There is a wide variety of specialties such as dried bamboo shoots and velvet antler mushrooms. The prices are very reasonable. I just bought a few bags and headed to the next destination.

#discoverchina It’s honestly such a cool spot. It’s one of those places that feels a little timeless, with this awesome mix of old-school vibes and new stuff. The street’s got these quirky little shops selling everything from vintage trinkets to handmade crafts, and the food stalls? So good. The best part is that it’s not overcrowded, so you can just walk around and take everything in without feeling rushed. People are chill, and there’s a nice mix of locals and visitors just soaking up the vibe. The buildings on the street have this cool mix of traditional styles and newer ones, so it’s like a blend of the past and present. It’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere, perfect for just strolling around, checking out little details, and grabbing some snacks. You can also just hang out and people-watch if that’s your thing. It's a great spot to get a taste of local culture without the madness of super touristy places. Definitely recommend if you’re into exploring laid-back spots with good food and a cool vibe.

Xitou Village is located in Conghua and is a veritable "beauty village". Although it does not have the grandeur of famous mountains and rivers, it has beautiful scenery that is refreshing. This place is also known as the "most beautiful hiking route". The endless bamboo forest forms a natural barrier. It is the best place to escape the heat in midsummer. The sunlight scattered through the leaves, the picture is very beautiful. After walking out of the bamboo forest, you will see the elegant scenery of an ancient village and water town. The boatman is rowing slowly. It would be great if you could switch between the slow time here and the fast pace of the city at will!
