Longquan Citywalk, a severely underrated treasure of a small town amidst mountains and rivers

I have been to Lishui many times, but this is my first visit to Longquan, and I feel like I've discovered a new world, a very beautiful small town with mountains and rivers, located at the border of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi, known as 'the thoroughfare for post horses and the throat of merchants and travelers', with beautiful natural scenery and profound historical and cultural heritage, especially the celadon and sword cultures of Longquan, which are renowned worldwide.
